New Year's Glam

Finally I have just gotten my MAC order. I will be posting a new blog post on all of the swatches of my goodies. Today's look is called "New Years Glam" it may look fun and intricate but let me tell you this is super easy and quick to do! Let's first start today with products used and go into step by step! One last thing before we do our SBS, I did another look that took the plain golden look a step further.

Products used:
•Mac brush- 239, 219
•Mac pigment- Golden Lemon
•Mac paint pot in painterly
•Mac e/s- Blanc type
•Mac chromagraphic eye pencil in Pure White
•Mac liquidlast liner

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 239 brush go into the pigment in Golden Lemon. Using the cap of the pigment (the little cover with a slit on it to pick up) grab some of the pigment on your brush. In a patting motion ( up and down, up and down and move along your eye) apply this shade. You can intensify as much as you want. I only went back in the pigment twice.

Step 3: 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. Then when you're done with the first step of creating the winged eye, make a small triangle in the middle of your eye. For a bigger eye look use the chromagraphic eye pencil and line your water line. I am using MAC plush lash on my lashes.

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.


Now, if that is to simple for you how about we take it a step further? Why not let's being. Start by doing step's 1 and 2 and we shall start from step 3 now!

New products:
•Mac Antiqued (crease) Mac Amber lights (Water line)

Step 3: Using mac 219 brush go into Antiqued. In a blending motion (back and forth, follow your eye shape) blend this shade in. Drag it under neath your water line, leave space for the next shade called Amber Lights. For the left over space fill it in with the gold.

A Little Flare

Just a titch of gold with a wing can make anyone's day. Learn how to complete this easy breezy look!

Products:
•Mac Paint Pot in painterly (base)
•Mac brush- 239, 217, 212
•Mac eye shadow in Carbon (eyeliner) and Chrome Yellow (on top of the gold)
•Elf complete the look pallet second column second to last shade to the bottom. 
•NYX jumbo eye pencil in Milk (Waterline)
•NYC unnamed liner in Pearl Black (liner)

Step 1: Using any primer apply it to your lid first. Make sure you blend it in!

Step 2: Using a Mac 239 brush go into the Elf complete the look pallet. Dip the brush into the second column, the shade we will be using is the second to last shade at the bottom. It looks like a old tarnished gold. Using patting motion (up and down) apply this all over your lid. To make the gold a bit more vibrant I rubbed my finger in the shade Chrome Yellow and patted it on the gold.

Step 3: Using the NYC unnamed liner in Pearl black 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. Then when you're done with the first step of creating the winged eye, make a small triangle in the middle of your eye. To make this look matte I used a 212 brush and dipped it into Carbon. Patting up and down on the straight line. This will pro long the wear of the eyeliner.

Step 4: I used Nyx jumbo eye pencil in milk and lined my waterline so my eyes were more open.

Some more photo's are below and I even did a lip look!

I am using Revlon just bitten lip stain

You could do a natural lip look too! This gloss is part of the L'Oreal inflammable lip stain line.

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.

Natural Glam

Hey guys! I haven't done a look in a while but, here is a really natural look with a hint of glam to it. This week I decided to do a step by step picture. Please tell me if the step by step picture with the words help you more.

Products used:
•Mac paint pot in Painterly
•Mac e/s- Gesso, Wedge, Carbon
•Mac brush- 239, 217, 231
•NYX trio in Honeycomb
•NYC unnamed liner in Pearl Black


Step 1: using any finger apply a primer. I used Mac's paint pot in Painterly.

Step 2: Using a 239 brush go into the trio. I used the last shade which is a shimmery pale gold. In a patting motion ( up and down) pack on this shade. You can apply as much as you want, it will not affect the outcome. It will only create a more vivid look.

Step 3: Using a 231 brush go into Mac Wedge. Follow the shape of your eye and blend the brown in. Make sure you are using a back and forth motion and blend into the gold! Using a 217 brush go into Carbon. We want to create more depth, so in the inner V blend this black in. It will turn into a darker brown. The more black you apply the more black the color looks!

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.

Final look, good luck!

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!

Some more photos are below with a lip look to go with this look! Good luck :)

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

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.

Almost done removing ;]

Sugar Spice and Everything Nice

This was a extremely fun look to do and reminds me of sugar (the pinks and reds) and spice (the blue blended into the pink and red.) So shall we get started?

Products used:
•Mac paint pot in painterly
•Mac brush- 239,217, 212
•L'Oreal Runway pallet limited edition in "Charming Cockatoo"
•Mac e/s- orange, Copper, Carbon
•NYX e/s- Frosted Ocean

Step 1: Using a ring finger blend in your primer. I am using Mac Paint Pot in Painterly.

Step 2: Pick up your 239 brush and go into the first shade of the Charming Cockatoo pallet. It should be a light coral hued pink. In a patting motion which is up and down apply this color.

Step 3: Using a 217 go into Mac's Orange. In a window shield motion (back and forth) blend this color into the pink. Make sure to not pick up a lot of the color because it will look more orange hued than red. Now go into the shade copper. Take the littlest amount of the shade and make sure to blend this into the orange.

Step 4: Using the same brush go into NYX Frosted Ocean. In a back and forth motion blend this color in as the inner V. It will help add more depth to this look. The reason I opted in for a blue/black instead of a brick red is because I felt it added a nice contrast between the colors.

Step 5: I used a 212 brush and wet it with water then I dipped it into the eyeshadow called Carbon. Then I lined like normally a straight medium thick line. After all of that I applied mascara!

Purple Flurp Holiday look 5

This is my favorite look of this Holiday collection series. It is really gorgeous and it gives off a happy vibe! This has to be the most complicated look of the series but we will get trough it!
         

Products:
•Mac paint pot in painterly (base)
•Mac e/s- Seedy pearl (center of the lid), Sketch (inner V), Satellite Dreams (crease and near the tear duct of the eye), Hep cat ( blended in the crease)
• Mac brush- 239, 217
• NYC unnamed liner in Pearl black

Step 1: Apply primer. I am using Mac paint pot in Painterly. Using any finger blend this all over your eye.

Step 2: Pick up your 217 brush and go into Satellite dreams. Blend this color into your crease and near your tear duct. It is hard to explain at this point but, if you look in the photo to the right there is a purple then the shade Seedy Pearl that's were you will blend the shade Satellite dreams into in other words near the tear duct.

Step 3: Using the same brush go into Sketch, we want to deepen out crease so in a window shield motion (back and forth) blend this in. On the top of the deep maroon color blend Hepcat in right on top.

Step 4: Using a 239 brush go into Seedy pearl. Right in the middle of your lid blend this shade into the purple's on both sides. You can use a patting motion or a window shield motion. I used both so it would be vibrant and fluent looking at the same time.

Step 5: 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 out there I lined the lower lash line with black. I used Mac Carbon and I lined with a 212 brush from Mac.

Good luck :D
