Holiday I

 This is my first holiday look! I really liked how this came out and the best thing is you don't need to do much of anything, well lets not get carried away you still have to do the blending part but it is super easy and effortless. I should really make a video so I can reference it! Today I also below listed the meaning of some words so it can help like the word "patting motion" it can often be mistaken for side to side motions.

So here is Holiday I

Vibrant and just the right colors to flow with this Christmas holiday coming up. You could possibly do this for Thanksgiving too which is on Thursday. Now what products did I use?

              • Mac brush's - 239,217
              • Nyx jumbo eye pencil in Milk
              • Maybelline Studio pallet in Forrest Fury, and Give me gold
              • NYC liner ( it is black and is called black pearl and has no name!)

Step 1: Apply primer with your ring finger and blend all around the eye. I chose Nyx jumbo eye pencil in Milk!

Step 2: Grab your 239 brush and go into the studio pallet in the pallet Give Me Gold. There are 5 colors go into the second shade from the left. In a patting motion'1' apply this true gold in the tear duct area also know pat up to the lid.

Step 3:  Now pick up your 217 and go into  the Forrest Fury pallet. There are 5 shades the first color we will be going into is the "V" shaped color. It should look like a dark Forrest green. In a window shield motion'2' blend this lovely shade in. Do not blend up to the eyebrow please! What may help you blend in keeping in mind it is really just back and forth and sometimes circular motions that make up blending.

Step 4: Using the same brush go into the shade from the left, I will call it "Limey." Using your same 217 blend it right on top of the Forrest green. I do this backwards, some people like to apply the lime first then in the inner V to add more depth apply the green. What ever works for you. Last but not least line your eyelids!

1- Patting motion is when you take your brush and tap up and down. It makes colors more vibrant rather than rubbing this shade in. Since we normally only pat light shades for the lid and pigments/glitters it is important to know this step.

2- Window shield motion is when you blend. It is blending back and forth, think of a car when it is raining. It is the process of "smoking" a shade into your crease. This can be done in circular motions as well. Just get into your own ways of blending.

Pinky Swear

Totally pink! The cool part is there was not much used in this look. Below is the steps and products used.

Products used~

•Mac brush- 239, 212

•Mac Pigment- Fuchsia 

•NYX Pigment- Baby pink

•Mac e/s in Carbon

•Mac paint pot in Painterly

Before I go into the steps I would like to tell everyone the trick to this look is wetting your brush's with a bit of water! No it will not ruin them but, it creates a more vivid application of the pigment.

Step 1: Apply any primer I chose Mac's paint pot in Painterly. With my ring finger I blend the base up to my eyebrow.

Step 2: With a drop of water wet your 239 brush then dip it into Mac pigment in Fuchsia. In patting motion I applied the fuchsia/pink all of my lid. You can go back into the pigment for more of a vibrant look if you like.

Step 3: With the same brush go into NYX pigment in Baby Pink. Right on top of the fuchsia pigment pat on the baby pink. Apply the pink were you would apply the lid color. Keep on patting the color on until it is bright.

Step 4: Line the eyelids with mac carbon. I used the 212 brush wet and went into the eye shadow. I lined in a cat eye look. To achieve the 'cat eye look' line like you would normal then pull out from a corner and connect the lines you have made.

OPTIONAL!

I added glitter using NYX glitter pallet in Paradise and tapped it in the corner of my eye and on my eyelid.

You Spark!

You sparkle :D

Items used:
•Mac 217,239
•Wet n Wild Mega sparkle in WHITE
•Mac e/s- Orange, Chrome yellow, Improper copper, GESSO
•Mac paint pot in Painterly

Steps below!

• First apply a primer. I am using Mac paint pot and I applied this with my ring finger and blended it up to my brow bone.
• Next grab your 239 brush and Mac Chrome Yellow. In a patting motion which is up and down apply the vivid yellow. I put the yellow all over my eyelid but you may not want to do that because it does make blending harder.
• Now grab your 217 and go into orange. Right on top of the yellow blend this color in a side to side motion. To make this color more red/copper I used Mac improper copper and blended it into Mac Orange.
• Lastly I switched back to my mac 239 and applied glitter on top of the yellow. The glitter is Wet n wild's mega sparkle in white. To apply this all you have to do is pat it on, as you can see in the photo I did use alot but you don't have to.
• The last step is to line your eyes and apply mascara. To line I did a cat eye affect which you can do by first lining a straight line. Then extend the line and make it thicker. When you do this step you will see as you extend the line will get thicker.

Natural #2

 This is another natural eye but this time I am using different colors and tools. I was experimenting with my cream liner in plum and i though why not do a natural smokey look with a vibrant touch!

     Items used:
•Mac brush- 224,239,212
•Mac e/s- Copperplate, Gesso, Wedge
•Wet n wild Cream Liner in Purple
•Mac paint pot in painterly

Step 1: Apply primer all over your eyelid using your ring finger. Blend the primer up to the brow bone.

 Step 2: Grab your 239 and mac eye shadow in GESSO. In the corner of your eye apply the vivid white then apply it on the eyelid. 

Step 3: Grab your 224 brush and dip it into Copperplate. In a back and forth motion also called window shield motion blend the soft brown into the white. This brush is super fluffy so if you are not the best blender you will still get fabulous results because it is made to smoke out looks. On top of the brown apply a titch lighter shade. I oped into wedge, with the same brush blend the color right on top of the brown. Sometimes people find it easier to blend on top of the crease so what ever works best for you!

Step 4: Using a 212 flat brush go into the cream liner. I did a cat eye but you can always keep it simple.

Orange and White!

So today I did a orange and white look ! This was fun to create .

The products I used were

-Mac paint pot in Painterly
- Mac eye shadow in Orange
-Mac eye shadow in Gesso
-Maybelline one by one mascara
-Mac 231 ( brush)
-Mac 212 (brush)

 First with a ring finger apply Mac Paint Pot in Painterly all over the lid as a base . Next grab your 231 or a small brush . Dip your brush into Mac Orange eye shadow and apply it to the corner of your eye and the crease . Do not drag the color all the way up in the crease thought! Next leave space in the middle to apply Mac Gesso . Blend the white into the orange by moving the brush back and forth . Whatever was done to your top lid should transfer to the bottom! Now take a black mascara like Maybelline one by one and wiggle the brush up from the lash line . Line your lids with a black liner .  Good luck!
