EYES

I applied the eyeshadows using two MAC 242 brushes (flat, synthetic eye brushes), Makeup Geek Small Crease Brush (small, tapered synthetic), and IT Cosmetics All-Over Shadow Brush (fluffy, synthetic).  I applied ColourPop Puppy Love Super Shock Shadow on the inner half of the lid with the 242 brush, and then I layered ColourPop So Quiche Super Shock Shadow over the middle third of the lid.  I used the second 242 brush to apply ColourPop Ibiza Super Shock Shadow on the outer third of the lid and lightly buffing into the crease (but not past it).  Next, I applied ColourPop Kimono Super Shock Shadow in the outer crease and smudged along the outermost corner of the lid with Makeup Geek Small Crease Brush.  I applied Stila Mint Julep Smudge Stick Eyeliner on the lower waterline and between lashes, then I applied Sephora My Boyfriend’s Jeans Contour Pencil on the lower lash line.  I layered ColourPop Ibiza on the inner half and ColourPop Kimono on the outer half of the lower lash line.  I wore Dior Diorshow Mascara on lashes.

FACE

After I finished applying my eye makeup, I applied a mix of Guerlain Parure Gold Foundation in 02 and 03 (about 2/3 and 1/3).  I applied ColourPop Santos Super Shock Cheek on cheeks as a blush with fingertips.  To set and buff everything in (I also toned down the cheek color I had on) with Guerlain Les Voilettes Loose Powder in 03.

LIPS

I applied Guerlain Garance Rouge G Lipstick all over lips, and then I patted on MAC Spanking Haute Vamplify Lipgloss (mostly for warmth; the lipstick was pinker than I wanted for the look!).

EYES

I used a MAC 239 to apply all of the eyeshadows on the lid.  I started by applying MAC Sweet Illusion Foiled Eyeshadow on the inner third of lid, then layering MAC Feminine Wiles Foiled Eyeshadow on the middle third overlapping just a bit with the outer third.  I darkened the outer corner and crease area by applying MAC Magic In Your Eyes Foiled Eyeshadow with Wayne Goss Brush 13.  I blended Burberry Trench Eyeshadow above the crease and on the brow bone with the same crease brush.  I smudged Sephora My Boyfriend’s Jeans Eyeliner on the lower lash line and patted MAC Feminine Wiles Foiled Eyeshadow over it.  I wore Dior Diorshow Mascara on lashes.

FACE

After I finished applying my eye makeup, I applied a mix of Guerlain Parure Gold Foundation in 02 and 03 (about 2/3 and 1/3).  I applied Too Faced Justify My Love Love Flush Blush mixed with Too Faced Your Love is King Love Flush Blush onto the apples of cheeks used a flat blush brush.  I lightly tapped a tapered highlighting brush into MAC Sparkling Rose Iridescent Pressed Powder to highlight on the cheek bones, down the bridge of the nose, along the cupid’s bow, and below the center of the bottom lip. To set and buff everything in (I also toned down the cheek color I had on) with Guerlain Les Voilettes Loose Powder in 03.

LIPS

I applied Urban Decay Bittersweet Matte Revolution Lipstick all over lips, and then I patted on Too Faced Unicorn Tears La Creme lipstick.

Shades of Sparkling Lavender

I don’t always have time to do cohesive looks (I usually have a total mish mash of products, and each side of the face is different!), but with the extra lead time I had with this collection, I put together this look using just Kelly’s products from the MAC x Osbournes Collection. The collection will be available online June 2nd and in-stores on June 12th (North America). Full reviews are still head, so stay tuned!

Eyes

I used the MAC Bloody Brilliant Eyeshadow Quad for the eye makeup. I applied MAC Spoonful of Sugar Eyeshadow to the inner third of the lid with a flat, domed brush (like MAC 239. Next, I patted on MAC Tickety Boo Eyeshadow to the middle of the lid. On the outer lid, I applied MAC Fizzy Rose Eyeshadow and swept it into the outer crease and above. To add more depth to the crease, I darkened it with MAC Shadowy Lady Eyeshadow with a fluffy, tapered crease brush (Like Tom Ford #13). Burberry Trench was blended along the brow bone to highlight and soften the crease colors. For the lash line, I opted for Marc Jacobs Beauty Blacquer Highliner Gel Crayon (I’m in the process of testing), but you could use MAC Smolder (included in the collection), which is a long-time permanent shade.  For lashes, I applied Tom Ford’s Mascara with a mascara fan brush. To fill in brows, I mixed the two shades from Kelly’s MAC Morning Mister Magpie Brow Duo.

Face

For foundation, I used Make Up For Ever #2 Lift Foundation and then set with Urban Decay Light-Medium Naked Loose Finishing Powder. I started adding color to the cheeks by using the bronzer side of MAC Jolly Good Mineralize Skinfinish Duo to lightly contour the hollows of my cheeks, and then I applied MAC Cheeky Bugger Blush to the apples of cheeks for color. To add luminosity, I used the highlighter section of MAC Jolly Good Mineralize Skinfinish Duo and dusted it lightly across the tops of the cheek bones.

Lips

I used both MAC Dodgy Girl Lipstick and MAC Kelly Yum-Yum Lipstick mixed together (about equal parts). In the first full-face photo, it’s just the lavender lipstick, but it’s a hard shade for me to wear against my skin tone and it’s really, really cool-toned and I don’t think it pairs that well with the cheek colors, all of which are on the warmer side. I mixed in a little of the fuchsia lipstick to make the lavender more wearable on me.

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.  I initially wanted to use it in the inner corner (and you can see a very little bit), but it was just too stark against my skin tone so I covered most of it with Bright Sunshine.

MAC Wonder Woman Look: Defiance

Just because it can be made to work… doesn’t mean it is worth buying. I really had to pack on the color to get it to show, and there was some issues with blending, because the shades were so stiff.  I maintain my recommendation of “no buy” to the fullest!
