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.

Mac Eye Shadow Swatches And Review Part One

So today i am going to be showing you some swatches and a review of my Mac products ! First off I compared them to Nyx and they to "me" are better for several reasons , they are listed below .

• More pigmented 
• Stays on longer
• Wide range of color
• Easy to work with
• Color is easy to build off of

So lets start of on how I am going to show you the swatches , I will show this is 3 parts . Part one (today) is going to be the light highlighter colors . Tomorrow is going to be the vibrant colors , by the way this will be updated because on Wednesday I'm making an order on Mac , and part  3 will be dark colors!
Part One Review
All of the highlighter or lighter colors work great and are mostly shimmer colors . One of my favorite colors would have to be Rice Paper , although I thought it would be a little lighter than it was . Rice Paper has a really nice texture . Rice paper or Naked Lunch could be worn on the lid or brow bone or tear duct . Another color that would work great on purple shadows for a highlighter or in the inner corner would be Seedy Pearl . This is so pretty! This is a frost too . I am before I show you swatches going to list textures of what I am going to swatch okay ? Okay :D

• Seedy Pearl - Frost  , it has and pinkish purple tint but is light
• Naked Lunch- Frost , It is a light pink with nude undertones
• Rice Paper- Frost , It is a nude color with very light shimmer 
• Gesso - Matte , It may not be "light light " but it is a matte vivid white
• Forgery- Lustre , it is a sparkle white with not a lot of color just sparkles !
