Electra-fying Cranberry EOTD

Had a bit of time on my hands so I did this while listening to The Prodigy and Shinedown. Fun times :)

MAC Paint as primer
MAC Cranberry pressed on lid + blended up over socket
MAC Electra blended over lid with 217-type brush
MAC Beauty Marked in outer V + used wet as a liner
Mally Onyx automatic eyeliner on waterline

What you get is pinky-silvery-purply goodness which, as usual, is not captured in my pics.

... beauty: EOTD - red and gold smokey!

It's Chinese New Year!!!
Cue the gratuitous red and gold eye shot!

I'm afraid I couldn't resist! Not that I ever need much encouragement ;)
Here what I used:

1. Primer: Mally Beauty
2. MAC "Smoulder" pencil smudged along upper an lower lashes
3. Smoked out the black using Cranberry from MAC (this rhymes, it was not on purpose)
4. Blended out my socket with Glamorous from MUG
5. Highlighted under brow with Shimma Shimma from MUG
6. Added a little bit more intensity on the top lashes by blending in a little MAC Beauty Marked

I hope you like it - it made me feel festive!!

... beauty: EOTD - The Red and The Black

It's EOTD time!!

This one might not be that wearable for some, but it packs a punch and it's quite simple.

Blurry! Nice.

PRODUCTS USED:

Lid + under eye: MAC Cranberry
Socket + under lower third of eye: MAC Beauty Marked
Highlight: Laura Geller Wonder Wand
Waterline: MAC eye kohl Smoulder

Hope you like it :)

...beauty: EOTD - Weirdly Wearable pink, red and black

Blog Sale on the way folks but today we had some actual sunshine so I decided to make the most of it. My camera still did not quite do it justice - it is a little pinker, purplier and sparklier in real life but the pics are not too bad today!

-Base: Too Faced Shadow Insurance

-Lid + inner 2/3 of lower lashline: MAC Sushi Flower

-Outer corner/Socket/outer 1/3 of lower lashline: MAC Cranberry

-Extra socket definition: MAC Beauty Marked

-Lid + Inner lower lashline Highlight: Napoleon Perdis shimmer dust No.7

-Brow highlight (which has not shown up at al!!) : Laura Geller Wonder Wand

-Waterline: MAC eye kohl Smoulder


As you can see, the three pics all look fairly different. The reality is somewhere in the middle, but with more sparkle!
I love Sushi Flower and Cranberry together, I think they make such a pretty combination. Quite Summery, reminds of things to look forward too while it's freezing cold with gale force winds....
The Napoleon Perdis pigment is a pink/gold/very slightly green tinged shimmer powder that gives extra dimension and vibrancy to the look.
Beauty Marked is amazing for darkening red or purple shades because it takes on the colours rather than taking them over like a standard black. For example, over Cranberry, it turns into a dark purple.

Anyway, I hope you like it.
Thanks for reading.xx
