I absolutely love this look… I felt sooo pretty, lol.
I had a few products around that I hadn’t used so I thought that was cause enough for a tutorial… I wanted the main focus to be the glow of the look. I normally wear mattes with a slight shimmer but never this much, however after creating this I will definitely incorporate more shimmer into my looks.
absolutely love this look, its what I call “understated color”. Having the colors only on the lid is too cute and very wearable even if you’re the type that doesn’t “do” color. I used MAC’s Eye Popping Eyeshadow (from the C-shock collection). in the inner corner (you can used any lime green). I then used MAC’s Newly Minted on the rest of the lid, this is the most beautiful sea foam green. I gush over this color, there are several other company’s who carry similar colors however, I have not been able to find a drug store label that has a similar color pay off. In the crease I used a matte brown and blended that to the highlight and I think I used Highlight by NYX. To complete the look I used MAC’s Just Superb Creamsheen Gloss (you can use any type of pink gloss) and that topped off the look.
Something a little neutral with a pop of color on the lips. For my lid base I Used MAC’s Painterly Paint Pot. My lid color is a mix of MAC’s Patina Eyeshadow and Naked Pigment. In my crease I used MAC’s Texture Eyeshadow to blend and MAC’S Embark Eyeshadow to intensify the crease. I used MAC’s Vanilla Pigment on my brow as a highlight.
All of these colors are totally dupe-able (lol, is that a word?!) I have a L.A. Colors palette somewhere around here that has colors that can replace each mentioned and I got that at the hair store for $3.00. Basically all you need is 3 maybe 4 colors, a light creamy white, a medium tan/brown, a true brown and the optional shimmery duo-chrome pink to use as a highlight but you can definitely use the creamy white instead.
I’M LIVIN’ FOR THE LIPS
Released in MAC’s Quite Cure collection this electric pink is crazy, Candy Yum-yum, is my new favorite hot pink lippie. If I could I would wear this brilliant color everyday, I honestly think that this color would work on anyone. I’m working on a concept for a photo-shoot and you know this will make an appearance somewhere lol. So I decided to mute everything else on my face in order for this to make my lips the statement.
