MAC Goldspice Metal Urge eyeshadow as a base and MAC Reflects Glitter in Antique Gold on top. Reflects Glitter need a sticky base to stay put and the Metal Urges which fall somewhere in between a wax and a cream are perfect as a base. The burgundy lilac Plum Dressing from MAC below the eye!
When I had bronze on the eyes, I thought it would be nice to combine with a bronzey lipstick, so I applied MAC Antiquitease. It was nowhere near nice. In fact, Antiquitease looked like the worst kind of brown. Patchy, brown and ugly. I decided that red would save the situation and I chose Cult of Cherry lipglass from MAC's Fall collection. The CoC gloss over a bronze base was a total hit, gorgeous combo!
Cheeks are NARS Laguna and mascara is Lancome Hypnose. Brows are MAC Concrete, foundation is Everyday Minerals and concealer is NVEY Eco Neutral. Loose powder from FACE Stockholm, in Mint.
Friday means Look Day at MAC, which means that everyone who's working has the same makeup on. Last Friday, theme was Dame Edna so look at these flashy spectacles! Kind of Dame Edna meets KIZZ. LOL! So much fun!
We used stencils for the look, together with the dark grey Divine Night from the Wisteria Eye Trio. The silvery Fineshine from the same trio was used on the lids, and Divine Night in the crease. Lips are the hot cool pink Gladiola with Possum Nose Pink lipglass on top. I love stencils, I really want to use that more!
I took these pictures when I got home from work, such good staying power of the shadows and the lippies!
I had an urge to try my new Fyrinnae pigments so I applied the brown shimmery Starfish on the outer half of lid, and the baby blue Baby Beluga on inner half. Starfish is so beautiful, with its brown shimmer it really brings out the blue in my eyes. (It is nowhere near mauve or lilac at is says on the Fyrinnae website; what I see is entirely gold and brown!)
Baby Beluga is actually the first "meh" color from Fyrinnae that I've tried, a light pastel blue shade that really doesn't say anything at all. Maybe it needs a wet brush? Note to self,: try that next BB time.
I was so pleased with the lips! It is MAC Blueblood lipstick and Touchpoint 3D-glass on top. Cheeks are Paula Dorf Ballet.
...and then I added some red lips to the above makeup, here's the result:
I used Kanga-rouge and Red Romp lipglass from MAC. Love that combo! I also added some Fyrinnae Starfish eyeshadow.
OoohIjusthavetotellyouwhatanamazinglipcomboI'vejus ttried! Okay, okay, I will slow down! What I was about to say was that I've found the most gorgeous lip color combination! Ungaro lip stain and Snowscene lip gloss on top! The blue, white and pink pearl pigments in Snowscene gives such a cool an effect. Wowza!
My eyes are wearing the lovely medium brown Little Red's Pet Wolf from Fyrinnae (LRPW sports a fantastic shimmer in gold, bronze and turquoise) on the outer half of lid, and the golden green Springtime Skipper from MAC on the inner half of lid, blended upwards. Fyrinnae Nijiro as a highlighter (this baby is in the same league as my beloved Shinkirou - they both deliver that satin shimmery glow), and Mirenesse mascara.
Cheeks are MAC Style and Refined Golden bronzing powder. And the lips... oh yes, I've already told you about them! Well, Snowscene is a glistening queen!
