Look - Yellow & Purple Style Warrior Look
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

Without lashes!
Without lashes!
I LOVE the lip combination. Everything is really stunning!
Love this look and can’t wait to get my Style Warriors stuff!
Thanks, Stephanie!
What are you getting?
I LOVE it!!!! I noticed though that the yellow isn’t as bright as the other FOTDs I saw. Perhaps because you apply it on top of soft ochre? It’s know as making the color less bright. I’d try it with layin’ low p/p.
BNB + F&f looks awesome on you!
I applied it over Golden Lemon pigment, actually!
Thanks! 🙂
Woo! Been waiting for this one 🙂 Interesting choice, Brave New Bronze with Fierce & Fabulous. Nice to see how fun these colors look together. I’m thinking about getting my makeup done at the SW event that the Boston f/s store is having next weekend…I definitely plan to ask them to feature the purple and yellow, whatever else they do.
Enjoy your time at the event, Daphne! 🙂 I am sure you’ll have a blast!
LALALALALAKERS!
Well, that wasn’t really where I was going with this look, but Lakers’ fans could recreate to support their team, I suppose! LOL 😉
Thats exactly what I thought too when I saw this look!! I always do purple and yellow eyes when I go to Lakers games! =)
You look gorgeous as always and the lashes look good on you. Just loving everything in this look.
Thanks so much, Faiza 🙂 The lashes weren’t terrible, but they felt a little ridiculous, LOL. I’d have to be going somewhere fancy AND fun to rock ’em at that length!
Christine, it looks so gorgeous.
I also loved the combination of Brave New Bronze with Fierce & Fabulous, looks like a new lippie !
Yay! I’m happy to hear you liked the lip combo 🙂
Thanks, Claudia!
Awesome look Christine! Just when I thought it was going to be a weekend free from MAC.
LOL! Aww!
Thank you!
very pretty
Thanks, Kobri 😀
Hot damn! You look great!
LOL! Thank ya, Binky!
Girl, I was planning on trying to stay away from this collection. No such luck. You just ruined my plans with this hot look. LOL! Love it! You look gorgeous!
LOL!
Bad me, bad me!
Thanks, Elle 🙂
I forgot to say that it’s ‘officially’ not out yet but here’s what I’m getting: The lustre drops, all of the lippies and glosses, On a Mission and Vibrant Grape. All for my kit of course. Im REALLY waiting for the next collection that features that 226 crease brush. I’m tired of hearing how awesome it is darnit, I want it!!
Sounds great! I think the lustre drops would be excellent in a kit. Very good for highlighting, even on decolletage!! 🙂
even without false lashes, your eyelashes look nice and long! lucky!
Aww, thanks Oenone!
Gorgeous!! I prefer your look over the promo one ^^ Totally stunning, with OR without the lashes, but I must say: I love the lashes with this look. They really suit it!
Thanks so much, Rae 🙂 Glad you liked it with the lashes!
The lashes look great! I like the colours in this look 🙂
Thanks a ton, Kat 😀
You look so pretty! 😀 What lashes were these?
They’re by Lash Addiction, which has cute names, but I’m spacing on the name. They look exactly like MAC #7s, though — just a little longer in length.
Nice! I love the “without lashes” (lol) pics much much better! 😉
Haha! Thanks, Annika 🙂
Can I ask why you like it better? I am curious since I think that’s the minority view!
!!!
I was going to skip fierce and fabulous. Guess not!
LOL! Uh oh 😉
You are always so right about lippies!
I bought Magnetique when Rose Romance came out and I LOVEEE the colour on my lips! :]

Gorgeous, Aubree!
I think without the lashes is much nicer.
You might want to paste the lashes closer to your lashline… and also to the outer corner of your eyes… cos if you paste it too close to the inner corners of your eyes, it’s gonna fell very prickly & painful.
Thanks for the tip! I didn’t feel them prickly or painful by my inner lid, though, so I don’t think they were too close then, lol!
Great look Christine! The color combinations you chose for eyes & lips look great together. Those falsies are fierce too!
Thanks so much, Chrystie! 🙂 The combo turned out better than expected!
The eyes are amazing
Thanks, Heather!
This looks beautiful on you. I love the purple. I have one suggestion that I would like to see (I don’t know if you ever do this) but I would like it if you also have one picture of all the actual products that you use on your looks. I realize that they wouldn’t look perfect, but it would be nice to get a peek of the actual products to compare to your beautiful looks. 🙂
Hi Shonn,
As much as I’d like to do that, it’s really difficult, just because I keep all of my eyeshadows in palettes, so I’ll often use 4-5 different palettes in a look. I regularly post pictures of my palettes, so you can always use the search bar on the right sidebar for a product if you want to see a photo. If they’re eyeshadows from new collections, I always post product photos prior to using them in looks, too, so the photos are already there 🙂
those knowck off #7s are amazing…which brand are they????
Lash Addiction!
This is gorgeous! I love the color combo and the lashes look great on you!
Thanks, Gio!
Wow, I just had to comment, this looks gorgeous on you! I’m a daily reader and this is one of my faves 🙂 And your lashes look great and non-obnoxious 🙂
Aww, thank you Sarah 😀 Happy to have you comment!
Oooh, I love the lip combo, even though I didn’t like the lipstick itself before. It’s a lovely look, but to be honest, ditch the lashes, your real ones look much nicer. 🙂
Thanks so much, Anitacska! 🙂
You’re very pretty without the lashes since your eyes are very symmetrical. I need to wear false lashes because I have one huge lid and one small one (LOL!) but yours are beautiful already!
Aww, thank you so much, Gemma! I appreciate you saying that, because I have always felt my natural lashes were not good based off of feedback I’ve gotten over the years. 🙂
I have to try and recreate this look as soon as I get my hands on some of these colors! amazing! I also need a good camera like yours! so my skin won’t show up super yellow lol
Thanks, Jessica! Finding a good camera is tough :/
oooh my my…lush lashes! 😉
someone is becoming a lash fan now..lolz..!! looks wonderful on you…and the pic with lashes in which u r looking down…SEXAAAY! 😀
I never wasn’t! I just couldn’t do it 🙂
btw Happy Birthday Christine’s dad
Aw, thanks, Heather!
OOOO nice look I like the lipcolor combo, awesome 🙂
Thank, Christine!
really pretty! love the eye colors!
Thanks, Tiffany!
Wow! Best look ever Christine! Thanks a lot 🙂
Thanks so much, Lisa!
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!
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!
This might be my favorite look of yours. Absolutley gorgeous! I loveee the long lashes! So chic!
Thanks, Belle! 😀
hehe i actually like it without the lashes. Am i weird?
Not at all 😛
You look absolutely stunning, Christine!
Aw, thank ya, Kate!
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!
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.
Gorgeous! I need Pink Rebel!
Thank you so much, Miss QQ!
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!
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!
I love the lip combo! 🙂
Yay! Glad ya liked it, Charlie!
This is such a pretty and fresh look!!!
Thanks, Vanessa S!
Love this look! I love using gold & purple together. And they happen to be my school’s colors =)
Thanks a lot, Sasha! 😀 Yay school spirit, LOL!
I love this look. And you are SO gorgeous. 🙂
Aww, thank you so much, Christine 😀
Wow – Christine, this look is amazing. One of your best yet!
You’re too sweet! Thanks, Audrey!
Christine you look gorgeous, as always!
Thanks, Mikki!
You are so f-in hot, Chris! I love the fake lashes!
LOL! Thanks as always, Sash ;D
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!
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
Absolutely love the look!
Thanks, Michele!
