“Esteban gave me very great inspiration,” she said, naming words such as “organic” and “pebble.” “I went a bit further along that path and went to see Monet’s water lilies at the Orangerie.” The lilacs and pale blues she noted were then channeled into makeup. To fete Cortazar’s debut Ungaro collection, according to Dowsett, MAC will launch a limited edition, co-branded makeup line this October.

Are you a fan of mineral makeup? If so, what are your favorite brands? If not, why not?
I’ve tried it with minimal success thus far, so I’m hoping you will all share with me some great ideas!
I used Soft Ochre paint pot on lid, American Beauty Golden eyeshadow on inner lid, American Beauty Pink eyeshadow on middle of lid, Passionate eyeshadow on outer lid, Beautymarked eyeshadow on outer crease, Stars ‘n Rockets eyeshadow on outer crease and above outer crease, American Beauty Golden eyeshadow above crease and on brow as well as on lower lash line, and American Beauty Gold liner on lower lash line. I wore Afterdusk blush with Tenderdusk beauty powder with American Beauty Pink Glow face glow to highlight. I had Sweetie lipstick with Totally It! lipglass and Ms. Fizz dazzleglass on my lips.
