Hi everyone,
How are you all? I hope you’re all knee deep in your summer plans and loving some well needed time off!?
Today’s blog is pretty much just a massive shopping list! I recently became a MAC PRO member, one of the great little perks of this is a cheeky 30% off… So as much as this makes me happy it doesn’t for my bank card! I’ve bought a few bits and pieces recently and MAC has produced some amazing new collections, so I thought I’d take this opportunity to show you some of my amazing new finds!
So I did a couple of looks, something to suit everyone. So the first look…
FACE
Studio Fix NW20; a full coverage foundation that gives a velvet semi matte finish. Great for flawless complexions without a caked appearance.
Prep+Prime in Bright Forecast; this concelear has a warm peach undertone and is perfect for counteracting the blue, dark tones under eye.
Prolongwear concelear NC15; this concelear is literally the bomb! Full coverage but easily blended. I use this to brighten up under the eyes and contour.
Cream colour base in Hush; this is used to give a glossy highlight over the cheekbones and Cupid’s bow.
Maleficent limited sculpting powder (permanent shade replacement “harmony”); this is used as a shadow colour to contour under cheek bones, forehead. Perfect for paler complexions.
Dainty blusher; used on the apples of the cheeks.
Fix plus spray; I tend not to powder with studio fix as it’s a filler coverage so I give myself a fees sprits with this baby leaving the foundation looking dewy and healthy but in placed all day!
EYES Kelly Osbourne limited edition quad (this was a limited palette but there’s always permanent shades similar!)
Prolongwear concelear used to prep the eye area
Femme fetale; used as a “transition” shade in the socket. Using a transition shade brightens up the shadow of the socket and helps blend all other darker colours when trying to create a smokey eye.
Embark; using this shade all over the eyelids no higher than the crease. Use small amounts applied to the lid and buffed out with a clean blending brush for a seamless smokey eye.
Sexy eyes; use from inner to outer corner and blended with Embark to add more smoke!
Lashes are a couple of coats of Barry M Vegas lash and two sets of lashes!
Eyebrows as always are shaped with Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow wiz in taupe and pomade in chocolate to fill.
LIPS
Kelly Osbourne limited edition lip liner
Limited edition Colour Play lipglass in lots of laughs
Second look…
FACE
BB cream compact in shade light; this is really high up on my list of BB creams I’m in love with. Available In lighter shades it applies beautifully and gives a light, fresh coverage.
Prep+Prime in light boost; this is used on all the high points of the face (cheeks, chin, brows, nose) to lightly highlight the face with out too heavy a contour.
Prolong wear concelear; used under eyes as in look 1.
Cream colour base in hush; again used as previously.
Warm soul blusher; used on the edge of the cheekbones and swept upwards, giving a lifted cheek rather than a flush.
Studio Fix powder NW20; to add a but more coverage and a more matte finish over my central areas.
EYES; Kelly Osbourne
Prolongwear concelear is used to prep the eye area. If you’re like me this is great for covering up the redness the eczema leaves on my skin but it also contains an eyeshadow primer!
Femme fetale; this shade is used in the socket, it’s a fantastic warm shade which is perfect for using as a “transition” colour.
Sexy eyes; this is used all over the eye lid. A gorgeous shimmery peach, perfect for all eye colours.
Sweet eyes; a perfect highlighting shade used in the corner of the eye and brow bone.
Embark; is blended underneath the eye with a little bit of Femme fetale.
Lashes and brows are as above!
