Chic Makeup Look

This is a chic makeup look and is really simple to complete. I did not put it down as part of my Christmas collection but, if you consider it worthy enough to wear go ahead! Below are the pictures steps and products used.

Products:
•Mac brush- 217, 239
•Mac e/s- Gesso (highlight), Copperplate (lid), Star Violet (crease), Carbon (inner V)
•NYC unnamed liner in Pearl Black
•Mac Paint Pot in Painterly

Step 1: Using any finger apply a primer. I used Mac paint pot in Painterly and blended it up to my brow bone.

Step 2: Using a 239 go into Copperplate. In a patting motion (up and down) apply this shade to your lid. You can pack on as much color as you want. I packed on the shade about three times!

Step 3: Using a 217 go into Star Violet. In a window shield motion blend this into your crease. Make sure it blends into the muted brown/gray color! For more depth, using the same brush I went into Mac Carbon. Using the same sort of blending motion this should blend in easily!

Step 4: Using any eyeliner line your eyes like normal. Then extend the line a bit out so it makes a "Cat eye effect" make sure it is a straight line! In the corner of your eye make a triangle then connect it to the upper lash line. 

Optional: I used mac Gesso and highlighted my brow bone and inner corner. I also tapped Mac Forgery on top of Copperplate, totally optional!

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.

Sometimes, lining like this is easier when you're at some sort of angle! Make sure you pull out from your tear duct for a precise line!

I used Revlon lipstick in Coral and topped it with Maybelline lip gloss in red Patent!
