Heyyy. My name is Caty, I'm new here - this is my FIRST POST EVER as you can see! ahaha. I've purchased MAC sporadically in the past, but never paid much attention until recently. I got two eyeshadows from my mom as an Easter present (awesome mom, lol) and let me tell you, it's like a fever. I spent all last night playing with them, looking on here, the lj mac community, and Temptalia for inspiration. I redid my eyes twice this morning to get it just right (keep in mind, I'm new!). I've unnecessarily reapplied my e/s over the day just because I like to. I've been dreaming all day of the other lovely things I will buy from MAC, the massive collection I will eventually own, and the stunning looks I'll create with it.
ALL this, because of TWO eyeshadows. Hahah!
Anyway, the e/s I got were Swimming and Humid. I asked mom for a light shimmery green and a dark shimmery green - good job, mom! haha. I really just absolutely adore them. I think I underestimated the power of Humid, though, 'cause I think I used a bit too much. This is definitely a smoky look and not something I would wear during the day again, but this is a learning process, haha. I still got plenty of compliments though, because I go to high school and it's considered perfectly acceptable to high school girls to wear a smoky eye to school. Oh, the horrors I have seen.
it's too bad today wasn't st.patricks day
my bff commented on how my eyeshadow matched my eyes, and on top of that I was wearing a green shirt! haha
Anyway! Enough of me blabbing. Keep in mind this is my first time with MAC ever pretty much, and I only have two e/s at my disposal! Be nice and constructive criticism is VERY MUCH APPRECIATED! FOR REALZ!
ps. please excuse my scraggly-ass eyebrows lol. I'm still working on overcoming my fear of overplucking enough to at least shape those suckers.
Face:
Kiehl's Ultra Facial Moisturizer
Neutrogena Visibly Even foundation in Softest Gold
Nars Orgasm blush
Eyes:
Humid e/s
Swimming e/s
L'oreal Lineur Intense liquid eyeliner (I think I put eyeshadow on over this lol)
Maybelline Intense Volume XXL (silliest mascara name ever, lol)
Lips:
Nars Schiap lipstick applied verrrry lightly
some random drugstore clear gloss
I plan on going back tonight or tomorrow and purchasing some more e/s ( I only have enough $$$ for 3 though. Oh, the woes of being jobless.) I'd like to get some that would look good with my coloring and that I would be able to use with the two I already have (trying to get the most MAC bang for my buck, ya know?) and at least one shimmery neutral/highlighter. I'm up for anything except blues - I'm not too into blues at this point - and I really like purples and neutrals. Suggestions for good, versatile, flattering e/s to add to my collection?
and one more, sorry! Can you looooovely knowledgeable makeup mavens PLEASE tell me if I am cool toned or warm toned? I cannot for THE LIFE OF ME figure it out and I have tried all the tricks in the book. The look-at-your-arm, the hold-printer-paper-next-to-your-face, etc. I just can't seem to pick out my undertones! I tend to gravitate more towards warm colors, though.
