LOTD: Easy Smokey Eye using Style Black Collection

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

Hey!

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!

Look of the Day: Easy, Soft Pink Look! & Red Cherry lash review

Hey folks!

This is a look that I did earlier this week. I also used Red Cherry Lashes for the first time. And they are pretty good and inexpensive!

I heard A LOT about Red Cherry but did not want to order online, and silly me only just discovered Beauty 35 in NYC! Really it’s a mecca for inexpensive beauty products, hair and makeup supplies. Anyway, I bought one pair of Red Cherry lashes in #DEL just to test them out. They cost about $2.99 and they were very thin, wispy and long! They were easy to put in and felt really comfy. They get a thumbs up from me!

Back to the look!
