Look – Yellow & Purple Style Warrior Look
Saturday, May 16th, 2009
Here’s a MAC Style Warrior look! I did false eyelashes again (hey, when you’ve spent four years attempting without success, and you can manage it… you keep trying!), but I used knockoff #7s instead, and they were just too long, IMO. I ended up removing them, because the length was a bit obnoxious. I did pick up some new #7s at MAC last week, so hopefully I can keep applying lashes as I need to in the future! 
What’s everyone doing this weekend? It’s a ridiculously beautiful (and hot!) weekend here in California. We’ll have to find a way to do something outside to enjoy it!
P.S. — Happy birthday to my Dad! <333

Thanks, Michele!
if anyone is ever looking for color combos and what to pair what with....not that this site isn't fabulous enough already but..here's another site full of MAC stuff and there is a whole section on pairing colors. http://www.macmakeup.net/s.htm
so pretty! I like the other deeper purple color combo you used it's hot. And I still cant for the life of me put on falsies :(
Thanks, Vanessa! :) It's tough. Practice helps, and luck!
You are so f-in hot, Chris! I love the fake lashes!
LOL! Thanks as always, Sash ;D
Christine you look gorgeous, as always!
Thanks, Mikki!
Wow - Christine, this look is amazing. One of your best yet!
You're too sweet! Thanks, Audrey!
I love this look. And you are SO gorgeous. :)
Aww, thank you so much, Christine :D
Love this look! I love using gold & purple together. And they happen to be my school's colors =)
Thanks a lot, Sasha! :D Yay school spirit, LOL!
This is such a pretty and fresh look!!!
Thanks, Vanessa S!
I love the lip combo! :)
Yay! Glad ya liked it, Charlie!
ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL! It's something I feel extremeeeely compelled to try! Really, it's striking but still not clownish, and simply lovely.
Oh, wow! Thanks so much, Jenna :) I hope you enjoy the look when you get a chance to try it for yourself!
Nice lip combo and I also like the colors on your eyes, nice :) but I'm not sure about the lashes ... I think the problem comes from the fact that they are to far from your natural lashes, making them look a bit weird. falsies are NOT easy to put on and it took me two months of everyday training to get them right ...
Thanks, Margot! I appreciate the suggestions!
Gorgeous! I need Pink Rebel!
Thank you so much, Miss QQ!
It's so pretty!!!! Is soft force like vanilla pigment? I ask this before, but I forgot where, sry.
Nah, not really. It's more like Nylon/Femme Fi.
I am a fan of the lashes...i have long lashes so I personally like the longer lengths when i'm using false ones, BUT if you don't like the lengths, don't be afraid to trim accordingly!!! especially if you are using cheaper brands, then you won't feel so bad!! But I do like the length and the drama on you, they look fantastic! :)
Thanks, Brenda! :) I don't feel comfortable (yet) trimming that way (just to reduce the lash's width), but I'll get there!
You look absolutely stunning, Christine!
Aw, thank ya, Kate!
hehe i actually like it without the lashes. Am i weird?
Not at all :P
This might be my favorite look of yours. Absolutley gorgeous! I loveee the long lashes! So chic!
Thanks, Belle! :D
You look wonderful Christine! I can sooo relate to you with the eyelashes, I have been trying for years to get it right and I give up for months sometimes a year before I try again, it is so frustrating. Are the Mac #7 ones very long? I always end up having to cut mine down and I still have not accomplished this yet. Have you learned a trick that you can share? Do you like Bright Future eyeshadow as much as Going Bananas and are they extremely similar?
Thanks, Jody! :) You usually have to cut lashes a bit, because they're made to run a bit longer than is necessary for most. To be honest, no tricks! It just worked finally. I like Going Bananas much more!
I'm planning on trying something similar to this on Monday. I'm graduating and they're my college's colors!
Awesome! I hope it works for ya, Faith! Congrats on graduation!
Wow! Best look ever Christine! Thanks a lot :)
Thanks so much, Lisa!
really pretty! love the eye colors!
Thanks, Tiffany!
