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.

Candy Corn

Hey guys this is a Halloween look I did yesterday and I was inspired by candy corn!
I have step by step below and the products used!
         
Items used:
•Mac e/s in- Orange,Chrome Yellow
•Elf complete the look pallet- red
•Mac - 224,239,217
•NYX Jumbo eye pencil in Milk

Step 1: Apply a primer. I used Nyx jumbo eye pencil in milk. To apply the primer I used my ring finger and blended it up to my brow bone.

Step 2: Grab your 239 brush and Mac eye shadow in orange. In a patting motion pat on the orange color. Apply the color all over the eyelid. Using the same brush go into Chrome Yellow blend it in a side to side motion make sure you keep the yellow in the middle of your eyelid. You can add as much of the color as you want just make sure it blends and looks fluent.

Step 4: In the ELF pallet there is a red which is in the 7th column 6th row. Using a 224 dip your brush into the color and blend in a windshield motion which is back and forth. Do not blend the red into the orange on the lid, blend on top of it. You can pack on the red since it may be a little sheer. The way to do that is take your brush and go into the color and blend side to side then repeat the same step until you are satisfied.

Step 5: Apply liquid liner and create a cat eye shape
