Since Valentine’s Day is right around the corner, I decided to try the look from the Illamasqua Throb collection. I mentioned it here.

Of course you know that I omitted the white pancake makeup and made it more wearable. Application was soft. Cute. Soft cut crease. Pink cheeks. Here it is:
Browsing the MUFE boutique and saw this promo image for their Rock For Ever collection.

Hot, right??? I had to recreate this look. It’s certainly not an everyday look but if you are wearing a black or silver Carnival costume, this would be a stunning look! Add some glitter on the lid or rhinestones and it would be all over!
The Rock For Ever collection was released late last year and is a series of trial-sized mini sets of Aqua pencils, Star Powders, mascara etc. housed in a studded container. Cute. Especially the Best of MUFE collection set.
This features a smoky eye, cut crease and winged liner, and I was up for the challenge!!!
I wore this look this weekend. Simple bronze, with a winged out, smudged blue liner. Also added a midtone coral blush from Bobbi Brown.
So, I have a confession to make, in general I don’t like Bobbi Brown at all, but her Cabana Corals collection is the first one EVER that I have wanted to try, especially that Nectar Shimmer Brick!!!!!! I used her Pot Rouge and its great for people with dry skin, or who do not wear foundation. Also oranges and blues work really well together, so I paired a darker blue with a paler coral cheek colour.
I also cut just above the crease (one of the things I learned at TMS), which opens up the eye even more.
Here’s what I used:
TFSI
M.A.C. Pigment in Copperized (a greenish bronzey colour), all over the eyelid and crease
M.A.C Pigment in Museum Bronze (dark bronze), outer part of eye just above the crease, on the brow bone
M.A.C. Greasepaint stick in Below Ground (bronze), to define the shape of eye just above the crease
M.A.C. eye liner in Coffee (chocolate brown) to darken the GPS
M.A.C. eyeshadow in Cork, to blend out the brow bone and the lower inner 1/3 of lid
M.A.C. Pigment in Bell Bottom Blue (sea blue), to the outer 2/3 of lower lid
M.A.C. Kohl Power eyeliner in Feline
Lancome Hypnose Drama in Excessive Black
Bobbi Brown Pot Rouge in Calypso Coral
EOS lip balm
Enjoy!!!
