Black & Gold! STEELERS!
Too Faced Shadow Insurance + Ben Nye Sun Yellow on the first half of the lid + Too Faced Label Whore (Like Mac’s Club but waaaay more intense!!) on the second half of the lid and crease + Ben Nye Cosmic Blue on the lower browbone to blend Label Whore’s green into Mac Femme Fi’s, worn as highlighter. Blacktrack Fluidline as liner (very thin line) and on the waterline.
This I did not do myself, as I copied it of a friend, but it makes for an AWESOME fall look!! Very fall-like but still bright for bright suckers like me!! The brown in Label Whore makes a stunning brown color blended in with the Sun Yellow… loves!!
I’m wearing Mac Woodwinked on top of Cranberry mixed with a bit of Nocturnelle. Awesome, the pink cranberry base makes Woodwinked look incredibly gold!
Hey, I think Im going to try that look.
mine was a purple and orange eye make up with MAC Night Violet mattene for the lips.
The eyes were almost in pastel shades so in the end it was cute with the dark lips
I really liked putting the blue from the Kat Von D Beethoven pallet with Urban Decay’s frigid, with a silver from the CS matte pallet in the corner.
I did ricepaper on the inner half, plum dressing on the outer half and lower lashline, fashion groupie on the outer v, and hush on the browbone. I also applied black liner in my upper lashline. On my cheeks I am wearing nars sin. I applied fanfare on my lips.
Hmmmm… maybe Stars and Rockets on the lid, Vibrant Grape in the crease, Shadowy Lady to deepend the crease, Shroom as a highlight, all three purples blended out on the lower lash line… I lined my water line with this beautiful blue cream liner from Sephora (the name escapes me)… black track fluid line on the upper lash line and finished with Cover Girl Lash Blast in very black
Another favorite was NYX Jumbo pencil in Pots and Pans for a base, Frost pigment foiled w/ Fix+ on the lid, Print in the crease, deepened with Carbon, Print and Carbon on the lower lash line, black track fluid line on upper lash line, Smolder eye kohl set with Carbon on water line, Ardell #110 (?) lashes… it was a beautiful silver, gray and black smokey eye!!!
Sorry for double posts but I like this topic LOL
I used Stila smudge pot (barbie little black dress) as a base, and then I covered with the new MAC Young punk. That was on my iid up to my crease, and then in my crease I used Lime Crime’s Prima Donna. Then gesso as a highlight. It turned out quite nice especially with all the subtle pink shimmer in the black shadows. 🙂
Haven’t been wearing dramatic looks that much lately, but last week I wore silver/gray on my lid, black in the crease and red in the inner corner with nautral lips.
One of my favourite colour combinations was using Painterly paintpot as a base all over the lid, Chrome Yellow in the inner lid, Purple Haze lid-outer lid, a bit more Chrome Yellow overlapping with the purple Haze from the inner-middle lid, UD Ransom (dark purple) lightly in the outer v and crease and Shroom to highlight. I really liked this look :o) .
For a wedding last month, I wore a copper, emerald green and amethyst eye that was so pretty. Definitely doing that one again.
deep truth
silverthorn
shadowy lady
hot!
Recently, I wore MAC Smoke & Diamonds, Grand Entrance, Dreammaker and Glamor Check.
the last one i did was a smokey eye that consisted of a black lid (done with liner and set with carbon e/s) and brash n’ bold pigment (carefully!) blended into the crease. i loooooved it! looked super hot.
MAC bitter es on the lid and forest green pigment in crease comes to mind. i wore it saturday and it was awesome!
I also got TONS of compliments on Ben Nye sun yellow and MUFE #75 eyeshadows. it’s like a beautiful, bright sunset.
Hi Christine,
on saturday I tried a new combo and I really like it.
was all mac
I contoured with spice lip Pencil, then lipstick in strayin` from the center blended outwards. I topped with dazzleglass in smile.
I am NC43.
and I have a question, maybe somebody can help me?
I wanted the lipstick red full-stop badly, but I did not get it here in Germany. So today I got Vegas Volt. Could somebody tell me the difference? sure vegas volt is amplified, but I am more concerned about the color. thank you!
oh Christine: Get well soon!
Mac Nude Rose with Goldyrocks Dazzleglass !! FAB !
Last color combo that i loved was gold on the lid and hot pink in the crease and outer corner. i got tones on compliments.
Benefit Creaseless Eyeshadow in Skinny Jeans on lid
Electra inner lid
Smoke & Diamonds mid lid
Knight Divine and Carbon in crease
Shroom and Electra to highlight
Yesterday I wore Guerlain Tsarian quad palette with the muted gold in the inner lid, berry in middle and plum in the outer corners and the rust in the crease. For brow bone highlight I used MAC Paint in Bamboom. For lips I used MAC Verve with Lancome Juicy Tubes Smoothie in Exquisite on top.
MAC Stars n Rockets on the lid + Freshwater on the outer lid + Deep Truth in the crease and on the lower lash line + Nylon to highlight.
The other day, a really subdued, simple look on the eyes:
MAC Sugarlily – a LE silvery, blue purple – from lash to just above the crease.
MAC Samoa Silk – light peachy – from just above the crease to brow.
MAC Blacktrack Fluid eyeliner
Such a pretty color combo that I kept looking at my lids every chance I had all day. : )
Lime Crimes Elf, Circus Girl, and Shoe addict or Pompador. Cant remember which blue it was but it was beautiful! I put yellow in middle, light green in inner corners and the blue on outer corner and crease. And I think yellow as hilight.
I tried out a combination I didn’t think would work but actually looks pretty good yesterday!
I did a smokey eye with MAC Haunting on the lid and Blue Flame in the crease with a frosty white in the inner corner and think it turned out quite well! 🙂
Today I am wearing MUFE #’s 92 (matte purple) and 169 (irredescent antracite) over V greasestick. To lighten it up a little I took Devil-May-Care (the purple side) and brushed it over the whole thing. I used MUFE 126 (tan beige shimmer) as a highlight. V greasestick on lower lashline with some #92 over it!
OMG yesterday I did a beautiful look. I was wearing olive green scrubs. I wore Nylon on the inner half of lid. Vintage GOld pigment on outer half and crease. THen I put L’oreal’s Gilded metallic shadow duo’s dark color in the deepest crease with a pencil brush, and brushed back over that with BE’s Glamourista to blend. Your ladyship on browbone–I wear that everyday on my browbone, and as I also always do everyday–a dusting of BE’s original Gossamer. WOW–if I could have that tattooed on my lids I would do it. It was SO awesome. For any of you that have not tried that Gilded duo–it rivals Mac’s pigments in pigmentation. The gold color in the duo is simply to die for and the dark color which is a dark browny gold, is the best deep crease color in the world. I’d highly recommend trying that duo.
i did this gorgeous look for my friends night-time birthday party 🙂
lid- Stila’s kitten
crease- the purple from stila’s Barbie all dolled up palette
outer crease/outer V-oil slick by urban decay
and then Urban Decay 24/7 eyeliner in zero (the black one)
oh and Vanilla by MAC as my highligh in inner corner and brow bone
When I went out with my girls two weeks ago, I didn’t know what colors to wear. One of my friends said to do a teal & purple combo using my 120 palette. I did it & all night at the strip club/bar we went to, I got compliments. Even compliments from the strippers. They all want me to do their makeup one day. LOL
I love to do teal eyeliner with a thin line of black liquid liner right along the lash line with a coral blush. you don’t need lip color, it just instantly makes your lips look pillowy and beautiful somehow. maybe it’s just my coloring that takes so well to teal though…
I did a look today that I really, really liked. I used Painterly paintpot as a base, Strike a Pose in the crease and a little in the outer corner, Aquadisiac on the lid, Aquavert in the inner corner and Shroom to highlight. Ive been trying to find more ways to use Strike a Pose eyeshadow and was really happy with this combination :o) .
Eyes: I used MACs yogurt as a highlighter(out of the Hello Kitty Lucky Tom Pallet) with the MAC 227 brush, Applied MAC Pigment Circa Plum on inner lid with a eye shader brush from boots(you can use something like mac 239)and on outer lid Urban Decay Deluxe eyeshadow in STING used the other side of the boots eye shader brush.
Eyeline: MAC Blacktrack Fluidline with MAC 209SE brush or you can ASDAs (walmarts) own brand
Mascara:Rimmel Sexy Curves Mascara
Contour: I use MACs scuplt and shape ppowder in Mac Sculpt and Shape in Lightsweep Shadester
Blush: first I applied MAC gel blush in Just a pinch for a base(or i use creme blushs by a UK brand called Ruby Millie they have nice colours such as peach,white, light brown and a plummy brown shade) then over that I applied Estee Lauders Light pink blush in PINK KISS
Cheek highlight: No7 highlight Powder mixed with a bit of the MAC Lightsweep from the scuplt and shape duo realsed in 07 i belive.
Lips: Urban deacy lip pencil in HEAVY(brown shade), and a french connection nude lipstick applied with a lip brush so that it lasts longer.
🙂
sorry i forgot to add:
for the inner lower last line i used GOSHs pencil brush with MAC pigment in Circa plum and for the outer lash line with the same brush applied Urban decays deluxe eyeshadow in STING!
Hope your feeling well christine! now im unwell 🙁
another look i did when i attended the P!nk concert the other night was I applied Young punk mineralised eyeshadow dry on the brush then sprayed it with Fix+ in ROSE applied all over lid.
for liner i used MAC blacktrack and girls aloud false lashes by cheryl cole
lined lower lash line with the mac young punk e/s
i have to say i bought 3 of the mineralised eyeshadows from the style black collection (the gold, sliver and purple one) and the purple one is the worst for the fall out! anyone else agree!
the gold and silver one i like applying themdry for a day look also!
UD Sellout on the lid, YDK on the outer lid, Mushroom on half the crease and MAC Shroom as the highlight. With Stash as the lower lashes and water line and Coastal Scents brown gel liner on the top. I wore NARS Lovejoy blush and NARS Rouge d’Enferr lipstick. But the day I read this I had a fun super cat eye shape look with UD 24/7 zero as my base, Gunmetal as the main color follow the cat eye shape with Ecstasy in the middle outer half of the lid and ac/dc and perversion on the outer part of the cat eye shape. I wore MAC Nylon as the highlight and did NARS Super Orgasm on the cheeks (tried to tap the glitter off) and Benefit Breathless on the lips.
MAC’s naked lunch on lid with NAR’s ondine (plummy brown) in crease
heres the interesting part, Anna sui’s royal purple eyeshadow #202 over Rimmels purple eyeliner for my bottom lash line!
MAC girl ab out town lipstick, under Funtabulous dazzleglass.
Did my eyes with Painterly base, cork across the entire crease line, and shale in the inner crease. Blended the whole thing together wtih Nylon.
Diorshow mascara, and a few falsies in the outer corners. I lined with Buxomlash in Leatherette, doing a winged cateye After the eyes had set, I touched 100 kisses and nylon to line hte lower lid, and used lash glue to fix three small rhinestones to the outer third of my eye over the eyeliner.
Lined brows, did foundation, used MAC prism to contour cheekbones, and Honor to highlight. For my actual blush, I used a silvery pink eyeshadow. I’m still looking for a nice pink blush like what i want. Foundation is(as always) Diorskin Forever in 010 Ivory.
