Simply Summer

I have been meaning to post this look for a while, but life and prom season took over my schedule! ha ha ha -With things starting to calm down a bit, I plan to start posting more often .

This look is very summer to me. Plus it is neutral, simple, and works for ANY outfit, day or night! I hope you enjoy it!

To get this look I used:

Skin: I primed my sking with MAC Oil Control Lotion & MAC Prep + Prime Face Protect SPF 50. I then applied MAC Studio Fix Fluid mixed with a few drops of MAC Lustre Drops in Sun Rush. I mixed the foundation and drops  on my makeup palette and then buffed it on lightly with a MAC 130 Brush.
I set just the T-zone of my face with MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Natural.

Cheeks:  I applied the same lustre drops that I mixed with my foundation to the highest point on my cheekbone just below the outer corner of my eyes, and I buffed that in, using a circular motion with a MAC 224 Brush. I then applied MAC Raizin Blush to the apples of my cheeks, and contoured my cheeks with MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Natural in Give Me Sun!

Eyes: I used MAC Brow Pencil in Spiked for my eyebrows. Two Faced Shadow Insurance was used on my entire eye area,. As a base color I applied MAC Soft Ochre Paint Pot to my entire eye area, using a MAC 217 Brush. To my highlight & mobile eyelid, I applied Inglot Eyeshadow #30 using a MAC 239 Brush. I placed MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Natural in Give Me Sun! through my entire crease & MAC Saddle Eyeshadow through my outer crease, both using a MAC 217 Brush. Instead of white, I used a cream colored eyeliner on the lower waterline of my eye. I used a MAC 209 Brush & Inglot AMC Gel Liner in #77 to apply my eyeliner to the top lash lines only & the number of the lashes escapes me. (sorry!). For mascara I used MAC Studio Fix Lash in Black.

Lips: I first applied MAC Prep + Prime Lips and then lined my lips with MAC Lip Pencil in Boldly Bare, fading it in just a smidge and then going over the top of it with Inglot Lip Paint #66. Lastly I applied a touch of Inglot AMC Lip Gloss in #546 to finish!

OH! I almost forgot! Anytime I have glowing skin on my face, I also like the rest of my body to match sooooo....if you notice a subtle sheen on the rest of my skin that you can see it is the MAC Skinsheen Leg Spray in Dark!

Thanks!   =0)

More Green....

This is a softer green look that is quite simple! I meant to post this the other day but I didn't have time. I took the pictues with my cell phone camera, because my regular camera decided to act up the day I wore this....grrrrrr! Anyway I hope you the enjoy the look. It's quick, easy & it consists of only 3 products....

Inglot Eyeshadows: #414 & #57
Inglot Gel Liner: #85

Eyebrows: MAC Stud Brow Pencil + MAC Sketch Eyeshadow

Apply Inglot Gel Liner in #85, using a MAC 242 Brush, all over eye lid and around the entire eye. Fade it out to just above the crease and smoke it out heavily underneath the eyelid.

Apply Inglot Eyeshadow #414, using a MAC 242 Brush, directly on top of the green gel liner (top & Bottom), and then in the outer crease using a MAC 217 Brush apply Inglot Eyeshadow #57 and blend it out & around the lower outer corner of the lower eye line.

Enjoy! =)

How do you do your brows?

This is a question I have been asked many times over the years, and I have finally put together a tutorial on one of the most common ways I fix my eyebrows. After several years of waxing and over tweezing some of my brow has decided to call it quits! HA HA HA- I can't say that I blame it after taking such abuse. BUT anyway my current eyebrow is thin and sparse. I will upload a how to on grooming later for those who have a much fuller brow, or thicker natural brow.

For this Brow look I used:

MAC Spiked Brow Pencil

MAC Espresso Eye Shadow

MAC 208 or 266 angled Brush

Cream Eyeshadow of your choice*

I used MAC Sublime Nature
