My go to eyeshadow combo is MAC: Blanc Type as an all over and brow highlight, wedge on the lid and handwritten in the crease. I also either opt for a brown liner from mac or use my handwritten shadow as a liner for top and bottom. Black-Brown mascara.

Blush – Old version of Lady blush , Mac dainty or cubic for blush with harmony blush as a contour.

Then I can pick almost any lip color which is what I like with this look.

Strangely enough… mine aren’t even used on the same part of the face. I love using Smooth Merge MSF as a blush (swirled together) with Bombshell lipstick. The pink on pink makes my lips stand out.

Favourite eye combo: MAC vex eye shadow with MAC reflects pearl glitter over top.

Favourite lip combo: MAC dervish lip pencil with MAC like venus dazzleglass over the top.

Favourite cheek combo: MAC pink swoon powder blush with Bobbi Brown pink platinum shimmer brick as highlight.

Love MUFE HD loose powder (keeps oliis at bay) topped with Guerlain Meteorites in Beige Chic: the perfect shine free but glowing and luminous skin ever!

Eyeshadow: MAC Blackground pp in the crease w/ UD Hustle on the lid, and UD Sin on the inner corner.

Lips: MAC Velvet Teddy w/ Nymphette on top, thats an original Temptalia combo 🙂

First, yay my question!

Second, my favorite combo is my new relaxed no makeup makeup look. I love using UD 24/7 shadow pencil in midnight cowboy with MAC vintage selection paint pot on top. The MAs at Sephora kept asking me what eyeshadow I was wearing!

I love Elizabeth ardens lip liner in taupe with nars cruising lipstick! Also, NYC sunny bronzer as contour color with MACs mocha blush

I’m a sucker for a gold eye (MAC Goldmine or Amber Lights) with a coral lip (MAC Cockney or Ladybug). Or a bright green shadow (NYX summer green or MAC Sharp) with coral lip.

For eyes: MAC Blanc Type all over with Wedge on the lid and bottom lash line, finished with a cat eye using Kat Von D liner in Trooper.

Shy girl/Prrr lipglass on top with chestnut liner

Star violet e/s with sketch in the outer V, saddle in the crease

Sweet as cocoa with Gold bronze loose poweder as highlight.
Beautiful!

a very subtle combo is BE tiara (pale soft pink) lid contoured with the lightest shade of the wearable blues trio. it’s really eye opening and brings out the color in blue eyes.

also fun: gold mode pigment over lid and extended above crease, contour with UD matte purple haze and line with ransom. tried it yesterday and it was really cute.

MAC Ample Pink Plushglass over Subculture lip liner, Dainty Mineralize Blush w/ Rhapsody in Two as a highlighter, and Blanc Type e/s w/ Wedge in the crease for a natural eye look.

Eyes – Hmm. A duochrome kinda pink fuchsia in a Viva La Diva palette makes a gorgeous glowy dark purple over black eye pencil or eye shadow! The fuchsia is similar to MAC Fuchsia pigment but I don’t know if they perform the same over black.

Lips – Well, L’Oréal Chelsea Red lipstick with Lancôme Juicy Tubes in Fraise makes a very pretty red! I also like to put a clear lip gloss from MNY on top for a really smooth, soft feeling on my lips.

Nails – China Glaze Sun Worshipper with NYX Rainbow Sparkle on top is pretty awesome!

I haven’t got nearly as many make up products as I want though…

Becca Avatar

for eyes, this is what I used to ALWAYS wear, I’ve been experimetnting lately though:
MAC fresco rose paint pot, MAC naked lunch all over the lid, all that glitters in the outer third, dazzlelight in the inner third&inner corner, satin taup in the crease. girlactik’s light star base gel liner on upper&lower lash line with satin taupe to set it and sometimes a darker colour., the inner third of my lower lashline&my highligtwith dazzlelight.

sort of complicated, but it was GORGOUSS!!! actually, I haven’t worn that combination in a while, but I will soon 🙂

MAC Spice lip pencil – outline and filled in. Followed by Burt’s Bees tinted lip balm in either hibiscus (warm pink) or red dahlia. The finish is smooth, comfortable, and lasts.

Urban Decay eyeshadow in Sin with Covergirl eyeshadow in Champagne along the brow bone, black liquid liner on top, UD 24/7 liner in zero on the bottom, lots of mascara, Benefit’s Coralista blush, and a pale pink gloss or even just lip balm. LOVE!
