MAC Studio Fix Fluid foundation was a go-to along with the MAC 187 brush to apply it (which I never reach for any more). I was also a big user of MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Natural back in the day!

Urban Decay Naked Cherry Eyeshadow Palette Makeup Look Ideas (x10)

Christine — Mon, 25 Mar 2019 20:00:00 +0000

Urban Decay Naked Cherry Eyeshadow Palette ($48.00 for 0.49 oz.) is a pink-themed palette with a mix of shimmers and mattes. I don’t find this palette to be very versatile on me–a lot of it runs together for me–but I tried to come up with some different color combos nonetheless. For me, I’d likely bring in more deep shades and add in a couple of brightening shimmer shades to make the palette more versatile.

About This Series

Each look idea is centered around a “quad” of four shades with the expectation that one might bring in the appropriate brow bone or additional transitional shade based on skin tone. I know that I tend to use more like five or six shades in a typical look, but I think that four is a happy medium to give a good idea of the “core” color scheme of a look while giving you the ability to lighten/darken as desired. I have listed the colors in this order: inner lid, middle of lid, outer lid/crease, and crease/above crease.

You might see combinations that seem slightly repeated but placement will vary (e.g. a halo placement where the lightest and more shimmery shade is placed on the center) as placement can also create a different effect/look! You might also want to consider incorporating your favorite matte/shimmer shades (as applicable) to increase the versatility of certain palettes. Consider these ideas a jumping off point!

Tell us what you love and hate about...

Dewy Foundation

I prefer to set my foundation, so I tend to prefer a more natural finish as opposed to full-on matte (or else it gets too matte!). I like a little dewiness so that skin can look like skin but not to the point where I’m shiny everywhere!

What are eye products you used frequently years ago but rarely use now?

Christine — Mon, 25 Mar 2019 12:00:00 +0000

I used to use MAC Pigments ALL the time in looks (before I was really reviewing), like Chartreuse. I also used MAC Graphblack Technakohol on my waterlines all the time along with MAC Plushlash mascara!
