LOTD: Gold/Brown using MAC pigments

[civicbabe627]

Hello again everyone. My face is finally recovering from a bad breakout - so I decided to post my look for today. Sorry about the lighting again, and the lines across my forehead! Lol.
Can someone please tell me where I am going wrong with my outer v? I can't ever get it to look right!

Face:
Lancome Teint Idole foundation
Physician's Formula bronzer
Maybelline blush in soft mink
Fairylite pigment to highlight cheekbones

Eyes:
Rubenesque paintpot as base
Golden Lemon pigment
Chocolate Brown pigment (just got this one, my NEW fave!!)
Maybelline eyeliner in Espresso
Neutrogena healthy volume mascara

This is really pretty! I like the colours you put together.

You said you are having trouble laying colour on the outer V area - what brush are you using?

 

[civicbabe627]

Rach - I am using my POSH brush that is similar to MAC's 219, and then using my Sonia Kashuk blending brush that is similar to MAC's 224 to blend it. I just can't seem to get it to look right.

I have a 217 on the way, though, hopefully that'll help with the blending??

I love how sweet and soft it looks. I really don't see anything wrong with your outer v's. What is it you think is wrong?

The 217 is brilliant for the outer corner and crease - I think you will find doing your contouring much, much easier with this. One thing that I do is place or pack the colour where I want it in the outer corner with a firmer eyeshadow brush, then blend it with the 217. Works like a charm for me. Can you tell I love that brush?

That being said, I think you do a great job on your makeup already. I look forward to seeing more of your looks!
