M.A.C.'s Holiday 09: Magic, Mirth and Mischief Colour Collection

October 28, 2009 / / 0 Comments

Here is the second part of M.A.C.’s holiday collection.  Again, not getting anything from here.  Especially not the MES.  I usually love the MES, but sometimes their textures can be a little inconsistent.  The Style Black MES were so amazing, that these are just…meh.  The crescent side has a very chunky texture, so it gives me a good reason to pass.  There are no must-have, standout products in this collection.  Info courtesy Specktra.net

LOTD: Easy Smokey Eye using Style Black Collection

October 22, 2009 / / 0 Comments

Hey!

So here is a simple, easy smokey eye using items from the Style Black Collection from M.A.C.  When I saw Cinderfella, I felt that it would make a great quick smokey eye.  This look should take 5 mins. and looks great!

Products used

  • TFSI
  • M.A.C. Black Greasepaint stick
  • M.A.C. MES in Cinderfella
  • M.A.C. Kohl Power in Feline
  • Givenchy Phenonem’Eyes mascara in Black
  • M.A.C. 239 brush
  • Fix+ or Mixing Medium

Details

  • Apply TFSI to the entire eyelid using ring finger
  • Apply thin layer of Greasepaint to the entire eyelid up to the crease. Blend well into the crease using #239 brush
  • Spray Fix+ (or apply 2 drops of Mixing Medium) to the 239 brush and then pick up Cinderfella.  Apply Cinderfella to the entire eyelid in a patting motion to pack on the colour.  This intensifies the colour on the lid
  • Blend the Cinderfella into the crease and above the crease to diffuse the intensity, using a circular motion
  • Apply a thick line of Feline to the upper eyelid and smudge the line into the Cinderfella
  • Apply thin line of Feline to the lower waterline
  • Apply mascara

Enjoy!

Look of the Day: Bright Sea Blue

October 15, 2009 / / 0 Comments

Hey!

IMG_2679 text

Here’s my most recent look.  I used a very popular M.A.C. mineralized eyeshadow in Sea and Sky. Sea and Sky came out I think last year as one of the summer collections.  It’s a duo with a light blue marbled side (Sky) and a deep, bright blue.  I also used a popular technique that intensifies eyeshadows called foiling.

Foiling makes an eyeshadow look like liquid metal…or like the shiny, high gloss surface of foil paper. Not all shadows can be foiled.  For one, you generally only use shadows that can be used wet, loose shadows like M.A.C. Pigments and baked, mineralized shadows like M.A.C. mineralized eyeshadow and Urban Decay Baked shadows.  Do not use regular pressed shadows unless you are specifically told that its ok. Wetting these shadows can destroy them.

Secondly to get that shiny look, you need to use shadows that have shimmer or glitter in them. Can’t really use a matte colour to create shine (that totally defeats the point mattes!!!)

Lastly you need to use some kind of fluid to liquify the shadow, usually water-based, but whatever  works for you.  Two of the most popular media are M.A.C.’s Fix+ and water-based Mixing Medium.  Some people make their own using a mix of water and glycerin.  I use Mixing Medium, but everyone talks about Fix+.  I’m going to have to get it!!!

Enough chat!!!!! On to the look!
