heatherette for mac!

I cannot even tell you all how excited I am for this collection! I don't normally buy MAC or get too into the collections, but this looks awesome!
I saw some sneak peak pics and based off the images I definitely want the lipstick in Melrose Mood and the lipglass in Starlet Kiss! Looks like the perfect pastel pink.
for a swatch, try this link: click *photo found on specktra.net*
anyways nothing really exciting here today, sorry. Hopefully I can do a tutorial or look breakdown sometime soon though.

FOTD: taupe, brown, and green!


Sorry the pics are so big !
Here's an fotd I did. I wanted a subtle "cat" eye type shape but not too dramatic, so I went with an allover taupe with dark brown blended in the outer v. I used a green as a bottom liner and lined the top with black eyeliner.
Oh and btw, HUGE rave for too faced lash injection! They really make my lashes look amazing! Definitely worth the splurge :)

recreate the makeup

FEATURING: Kim Kardashian
Click For Photo
Here I will tell you step by step how to recreate this beautiful makeup look as worn by Kim Kardashian!

PREP:
1. Wash face, moisturize and apply foundation of your choice (you can do this last, but I always find it easy to do the foundation first to provide a good base)
2. Apply a lip moisturizer if lips are dry, so when you apply lipstick it won't be flaky
EYES:
1. Use MAC e/s in "alum" allover the lid
2. Use MAC e/s in "knight divine" lightly in the crease of the eye
3. Apply MAC e/s in "carbon" to the outer v and to the outside 1/3 of the lower lash line
4. Apply MAC e/s in "steamy" to the inner 2/3 of the lower lash line and a little bit to the inner corner going up to a little bit of the upper lash line
5. Apply MAC e/s in "ricepaper" under the brow to highlight
6. Apply MAC powerpoint e/l in "engraved" (or black eyeliner of your choice) to the waterline
7. Line the upper lashline with MAC powerpoint pencil or liquid liner, your choice.
8. For best results, use false lashes with this look. That is definitely how she achieves those long lashes (you could just use mascara for a less dramatic lash)
now that the eyes are finished, its time for the rest of the face!
FACE:
1. Apply a soft pink blush to the cheeks (try MAC "pinch o peach")
2. Apply a matte bronzer to the cheeks and lightly dust the forhead, nose, and chin.
LIPS:
1. Apply a nude pinky lipstick, such as MAC "angel"
2. Apply a light pink gloss, such as MAC lipglass in "prr" or "underage"

And you're done! A wonderful look recreated!
I hope this was helpful to everyone and I hope your results are very similar to the photo.

Remember that different colors/looks can show up very different depending on your skintone.
