Block Color: MAC Coppering

Hey everyone!


So here is a look I did using ONLY MAC Coppering as an eyeshadow all over. I really love the colour and it's so unique, so I decided I would try and really make it stand out (instead of just blending it in with other colors like I usually do). This look was so simple/fast to do, and I felt like it just really made my eyes glow. I think that this is an eyeshadow that would look beautiful on other colored eyes (most especially blue eyes). I was worried about how it would look but I think it turned out to be pretty flattering! I saw a Youtube tutorial where Pixi2woo paired Coppering with Creme Cup lipstick so I thought I would try that at first. My sister said it looked really horrible and "too clashy," so I switched it up with just a nude lip. I kind of liked it with the soft pink lip though... What do you think? I'm not entirely sure, I don't really think the two lip colors look that different from each other... I like both... Anyways I hope you like it!


EYES:
Urban Decay primer potion
MAC Coppering [lid, crease, lower lash line]
Aveda kohl pencil [waterlines, smudged on upper lash line]
Covergirl mascara
Vanilla [inner tear duct]
CHEEKS:
MAC Peachykeen blush
MAC Shell Pearl beauty powder
LIPS:
MAC Creme Cup lipstick (pink lip)
Buxom Big and Healthy lipstick in Sydney (Nude lip)
MAC kissable lipcolor in Woo Me [on top]

Here it is with the soft pink lip:

...And with the nude lip: 

I was very proud of my color coordinating because my shirt was bright orange and blue, and I had orange on my eyes, block blue nailpolish, and I wore blue heels and a blue purse too. So I wanted to show my shirt. Don't mind the pose, I was listening to Rick Ross, haha.

Do you have Coppering eyeshadow or something similar? How do you like to wear it?

Bronze Eyes/Red Lips

Hey everyone! 
So here is a bronze look with red lips that I did the other night. J and I were on our way to meet people who turned out to be complete asswipes in the end, but that's a long story and beside the point. I really love pin-up makeup but sometimes I feel like it doesn't give me the definition or drama that I'd like so I made it a bit more dramatic for night time. I used bronze/brown eyeshadows, and added black kohl in the waterline to define the eye more. 


Also, this look was done using the same first 3 eyeshadows I ever bought and wore! They were used on my at my grade 12 graduation and it was the first time I wore makeup ever! =)

Kardashian Look with NAKED Palette

Hey everyone! So I really love Kim Kardashian's makeup, and I love trying to recreate her looks. I think she's gorgeous and even though she comes off pretty ditzy, I think she has a killer style. I tried to do a soft smokey look not based off of a specific picture, but off of her look in general. I noticed in her pictures that she often likes to keep a lighter color on the lid with some darkness in the corners, and then goes very heavy on the lashes and liner. I paired it with just a lip liner and lip gloss on top (I've been doing the liner/gloss combination a lot lately, it looks great and lasts quite a while!) 


Tip: If you want to keep this look appropriate for "day wear," I'd skip the black kohl liner in the waterline and replace it with a beige or soft white one, which will give it a softer and more fresh look. 


I tried to only use the Urban Decay Naked palette for the eyeshadows in this look, since I was looking at it and thinking how Kim Kardashian-y the colours were. Ha ha =) 

Eyes:
- Sin [all over lid]
- Creep [packed on outer part of eye and blended into crease, lower lash line, on top of kohl liner]
- Naked [to blend out crease]
- Sidecar, Half-Baked, Gunmetal [mixed to transition from beige to the black in the middle]
- Virgin [tear duct and brow highlight]
- Gunmetal [blend under lower lash line]
- Kohl liner [smudged on upper/lower lash lines]
- Covergirl Lash Blast mascara 


Cheeks:
- MAC Melba blush [one of my all time favorites!]


Lips:
- No. 7 Line and Define lip pencil in Nude [Lisa Elderidge designed this colour... It's perfect and I love her!]
- MAC Florabundance lipgloss


Hope you like it!

Smoky Cabernet Look

Yo yo yo, so I did another look, this is my attempt at a "smoky" eye. Not entirely talented in this department so I tried to do one without using black. Hope you like! And it looks like I finally found a good use for my Smashbox Cabernet E/S (which is so velvety smooth I love it but can never figure out what to do with it).

Also, I think I found my second favourite shade by Mac... TWINKS! This colour is GORGEOUS. I'll show a picture of what it looks like on the entire lid... it's phenomenal.
