Spring: Smoken' Makeup Look

Normally I like to keep Spring makeup very natural, pastel based colors but I have realized, there are people with darker taste and they need looks too! So here we are, and lets begin!

Products:
•Mac Paint pot in painterly
•Mac e/s- Idol eyes, Passionate, Sketch, Carbon, Blanc type
•Mac brush- 219,217
•Mac plush lash- plush black
•Mac fluid line in black

Step 1: Using any primer apply it to your lid. Make sure you blend it in and apply it all around your eye including up to your brown bone. Pick up your 219 and go into Blanc type. Blend this shade on the brow bone and in the tear duct.

Step 2: Using a 217 brush go into passionate. In a window shield motion (back and forth and around your natural lid) blend this shade in. To add more depth I went into sketch and using the same motion blended it into the red/neo- pink shade. 

Step 3: using a 219 brush I went into Idol eyes and applied this to my lid. Since, we are working for the crease to lid today make sure you don't apply the sparkle shade directly on the shade Sketch.

Step 4: Using the Mac liquidlast liner line your eyes like normal. What I do to get this sort of cat eye look is I start from the right of the eye. I drag the brush in wards which, creates a perfect thick line. Make sure when you are pulling the brush in your line is not to close to the hair line. To make this look matte I went into Carbon using my 212 and patted along the line. Then, I lined my lower lash line with the 212 and using Carbon.

Plum

This is a extremely dark makeup look. This can be pulled of by anyone and is not the hardest look to complete. So shall we get to the products and our SBS (step by step tutorial on page?)

Products:
•Mac brush- 239,217,212
•Mac Paint pot in Painterly
•Mac e/s- Satellite dreams (lid), Sketch (crease), Carbon (Inner V), Gesso ( Highlight)
•NYC unnamed liner in Pearl black

Step 1: Using any finger apply a primer. Make sure to blend it in and apply it all over your lid. I am using Mac Paint pot in Painterly.

Step 2: Grab your 239 brush and go into Satellite dreams. In a patting motion (up and down) apply this shade to your eyelid. You can apply as much as this dark purple as you want, for a extra "ompf" I added Hepcat right on top. I applied it in a patting motion just like Satellite dreams. Hepcat is no longer sold by MAC!

Step 3: Using a 217 blending brush go into Sketch. In a window shield motion blend the burgundy color into the dark purple. For more depth to the look I blended in Carbon. Using the same motion this shade should blend in fast.

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. To make this look a bit more fluent looking I lined the lower lash line with black. I used Mac Carbon and I lined with a 212 brush from Mac too. 

Optional: I used mac Gesso and highlighted my brow bone and inner corner.

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.

Soft and Gorgeous

This look is very soft looking and at the same time very elegant. It can be done during the holidays since it is so subtle looking, well subtle looking without the extreme eyeliner! So how to we do this look and what do we need?

Products:
•Mac paint pot in Painterly (base)
•Mac e/s in Star violet (lid), Brun (inner "V"), Wedge (crease), Carbon ( lower lash line)
•Mac brush- 239,217,212
•NYC unnamed eyeliner in Pearl Black
• L'Oreal million lashes in black

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

Step 2: Pick up your 239 brush and pat on the shade Star Violet. The patting motion is done by literally patting on your eyelid up and down.

Step 3: Take your 217 brush and go into the shade Wedge. Blend this shade in, then deepen the crease by applying the shade Brun. This should all blend in fine if you use a window shield motion!

Step 4: Pick up your eyeliner and line like you would normally. Then extend the liner so it should look like a cat eye. In the tear duct connect both sides and make a triangle of some sort. What I mean by "connecting both sides is connect the lower lash liner and the upper lash line together. Then I took a 212 and lined my lower lash line to make my look more fluent.

Smokey eye, Holiday look III

This is a smokey eye but I am marking it as a holiday look because it fits. The reason I feel it fits is because the warm brown reminds me of a frosty cold Christmas. Most people are probably not going to do a extravagant red and green makeup look, they will more than likely opt in for a smokey eye. Today we are going to go right to the products because I did a different sort of eyeliner look and I would like to explain it.

Products:
•Victoria Secret "Hey Bombshell" pallet. From the left first color, and the second to last shade in the same row it should be a purple. The last eye shadow row on the right, the last shade it should be a dark brown. The 4th row contains blacks, I went into the matte shade of black the second to last shade.
•Mac paint pot in painterly
•Mac brush- 239,217,231
•Mac e/s- Carbon ( used to line the lower lash)
•NYC unnamed liner in "Pearl Black" can be found at a drugstore!

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

Step 2: Pick up your 239 brush and go into the first color in the farthest left shade. It should be a pink, then in a patting motion apply this shade. using the same brush go into the second to last shade in the same row, it should be a purple. Right on top of the pink pat this on.

Step 3: Pick up your 217 brush and go into the last eye shadow to the farthest right it should be a dark brown with some bronze to it. In a window shield motion blend this color in. To deepen the crease we will go into the 4th row, it contains blacks. Go into the matte black and blend this into the inner V of the eye.


So far it should look like this!

The lid contains a pink shade with purple on top, brown in the crease and a black shade that deepens the crease. We also applied a highlight, this is optional but I recommend it! If you are going to go into a highlight chose something close to your skin tone or something light.

Now for the last step we have to apply eyeliner. Line your eye like normally then create a triangle at the corner of your eye also called the tear duct. Using a flat brush blend in a black eye shadow on the lash line so the "Triangle" does not look odd. Using a 231 Mac brush I blended the black out and I applied it to my waterline. Good luck :D!

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.

Smokey Purples

   Hey guys so today I was in the mood to do a purple mist look! I was doing a cut crease but then it turned into a smokey eye!

Items used

•Mac brushes 239,231,217
•Mac e/s Sketch, Satellite dreams,Gesso, Hep cat
•Mac fluid line
•NYX jumbo eye pencil in "MILK"
•Wet N wild Mega Sparkle in WHITE


   This look is really simple and fun to complete. First take a primer that has white in it, it will make the white more vivid I chose NYX jumbo eye pencil in milk. With your ring finger apply the primer all over your lid up to your eyebrow. Next pick up your 239 brush and dip it into Mac Gesso. Keep applying the white until it is vibrant like in the picture above. Next take your 217 and go into Sketch. Since this color is so deep and rich you really want to keep it that way so blend the color like it is a cut crease. The way to do that is buy only blending in the windshield motion on the crease. You do not blend it into the lid area which is the white color. Once you have blended in the rich purple we want to make this look more brighter so I went into Satellite Dreams with the same brush. On top of the burgundy all you have to do is blend the lighter purple on top. You do not need to blend it into anything else. Last but not least go into a 231 brush and using the Wet n Wild mega sparkle confetti dip your brush into the glitter and tap it on your eyelid. The last step is to line your eyes and apply mascara! If you complete this look please post pictures!
