Jealousy Wakes with Blue Look
My eyes have been really dry lately, so under normal circumstances, I wouldn’t create a look and post it (just because the surface of my lids makes working with powder products a big pain!), but how could I not do something to commemorate this day?
You will need the following…
- Eyes: NARS Smudgeproof Eyeshadow Base (primer), Urban Decay Verve Eyeshadow (soft pewter), MAC Jealousy Wakes Eyeshadow (emerald green), MAC Atlantic Blue Eyeshadow (dark blue), Burberry Trench Eyeshadow (highlighter), Urban Decay Deviant 24/7 Liner (blue), Benefit They’re Real Mascara (black)
- Face: Make Up For Ever HD Foundation (140), Guerlain Les Violettes Mineral Powder (03)
- Cheeks: Benefit Sugarbomb (golden pink)
- Lips: Cle de Peau #2 Lipgloss (peach pink), Guerlain Mambo Terracotta Lipgloss (sheer tangerine)
- Brushes: 249 (flat, firm brush), 239 (fluffy shadow brush), 222 (fluffy crease brush), 219 (pencil brush), 188 (small, circular stippling brush)
For eyes, start by applying Smudgeproof all over the lid and above the crease with the 249 to lay down your eyeshadow base. Next, apply Verve eyeshadow on the lower third of the lid with the 239. Then pat Jealousy Wakes eyeshadow onto the upper half of the lid and into the crease with the 239. With the 226, apply Atlantic Blue eyeshadow above the crease. Diffuse the crease edge with Trench eyeshadow using the 217. Lightly highlight the edge of the brow bone with Verve eyeshadow with the 239. Next, apply Deviant liner on the lower lash line, and then smudge with Jealousy Wakes. Coat lashes with They’re Real mascara to finish the look.
For cheeks, apply Sugarbomb on the apples of the cheeks and sweep towards the temple with the 116.
For lips, apply #2 lipgloss mixed with Mambo lipgloss for a complementing lip.

Green Machine with Jealousy Wakes Look
I received an email this morning that MAC just received the product samples for Jealousy Wakes, so I hope to have them in my hot hands tomorrow. As soon as I do, you know I’ll be swatching up a storm!
You will need the following…
- Eyes: NARS Smudgeproof Eyeshadow Base (primer), MAC Juxt Eyeshadow (soft yellowed green), MAC Jealousy Wakes Eyeshadow (emerald green), MAC Bottle Green Eyeshadow (dark bluish-green), Burberry Trench Eyeshadow (highlighter), Urban Decay Deviant 24/7 Liner (blue), Hourglass Film Noir Mascara (black)

For eyes, start by applying Smudgeproof all over the lid and above the crease with the 242 to lay down your eyeshadow base. Apply Juxt eyeshadow on the inner third of the lid with the 239, then pat Jealousy Wakes eyeshadow on the outer two thirds of the lid. Lightly blend Juxt by patting and lightly pulling the color over the middle of the lid to create a yellower green in the center. Bring Jealousy Wakes into the crease by pressing the 239 into the crease horizontally, and then darkening the crease with Bottle Green eyeshadow with the 222. Tap Juxt lightly above the crease to soften the edge, and then highlight beneath the brow with Trench eyeshadow. Next, apply Deviant liner on the lower lash line, and then smudge with Jealousy Wakes on the outer third and Juxt on the inner two-thirds. Coat lashes with Film Noir mascara to finish the look.
For cheeks, apply Betty Lou-Manizer on the apples of the cheeks and sweep towards the temple with the 116.

Yellow, Orange, Coral with MAC Big Bounce & Fashion Flower
This is a look I did last week to test out the MAC Big Bounce eyeshadow for twelve hours. For reference, you really don’t need Fresh Daisy in this look.

For eyes, start by applying Reward Yourself eyeshadow all over the lid and above the crease with the 242. Apply Fresh Daisy eyeshadow to the inner tearduct with the 239. Next, apply Bright Sunshine eyeshadow to the middle of the lid with the 239. Gently blend Rule eyeshadow to the outer third of the lid and into the crease with the 239.
