<h2>MAC In the Groove:  Making It Easy&#8230; Really!</h2>
<p>The trios really make it a no-brainer on throwing something together!  Just use one and you&#8217;re good&#8211;totally convenient.  A little unlike me, but hey&#8230; <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f642.png" alt="🙂" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />    Oh&#8230; and&#8230; HAPPY FRIDAY!!</p>
<h3><em>You will need the following&#8230;</em></h3>
<ul>

<blockquote><p><strong>For eyes,</strong> start by applying <em>Smudgeproof</em> as your eyeshadow base all over the eye area with the 249.  Using the 239, apply <em>the soft beige eyeshadow</em> on the lower lid. Lightly blend <em>the soft brown eyeshadow</em> on the middle of the lid and into the crease with the 239.  Next, apply <em>the medium brown eyeshadow </em>into the crease with the 226, lightly blending onto the outer lid. Blend <em>the soft beige eyeshadow</em> with the crease shade and highlight the brow bone. Bring everything together by applying <em>Cassis eyeliner </em>on the lower lash line.  Finish by sweeping lashes with <em>Definicils Precious Cells mascara</em>.</p>
<p><strong>For cheeks,</strong> apply <em>Exhibit A blush</em> on the apples of the cheeks and sweep upwards towards the temple with the 116, then lightly pat <em>Mary Lou Manizer</em> on the cheekbones.</p>
<p><strong>For lips,</strong> apply <em>Naughty You lipstick</em> first, and then layer <em>Hi-Falutin&#8217; dazzleglass</em> for a complementing lip.</p></blockquote>
