Holiday look II

  So yesterday kicked off this seasons looks I will be doing. It will range in really dramatic looks to really subtle elegant looks. Today is one of those everyday looks with a elegant touch. Below I listed the steps and what products I used. When you do this look it is so effortless but, the colors being used are perfect for this winter.

Products:
• Mac e/s- Naked lunch (lid, tear duct), Mac Wedge (crease), Mac Gesso (highlight)
• NYC no name liner in Pearl black
• Mac brush's- 239, 217
• Mac paint pot in Painterly ( apply with finger as your first step)

Step 1: Apply primer with your ring finger and blend all around the eye. I chose Mac paint pot in Painterly.

Step 2: Grab your 239 brush and go into the shade ' Naked Lunch ' in a patting motion apply this shade.

Step 3:  Now pick up your 217 and go into ' Wedge' in a window shield motion blend this shade in. Remember we want to keep this elegant and light sort of looking so don't over do how much product you apply.

Step 4: Line your eyelids with any eyeliner then apply mascara.

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.
