Easy-peasy Green!

This is my really simple, subtle and green look for the day! I used:

• Urban Decay primer potion
• NYX e/s in Lime Juice
• MAC e/s in Humid
• MAC pearl glide in Blackline
• Maybelline Great Lash mascara

It's totally wearable on a normal day, the colours are very soft and the application is simple. If you want to make this more dramatic, use with a black or green base. Hope you like!

Here are some pictures!

Can you see the beauty of the Blackline eyeliner??

Thanks! And do leave me your thoughts :D

MAC "Mating Call" - RSL

Hello!

So I recently got MAC's Mega Metal eyeshadow from the Peacocky collection in Mating Call and I was very happy with my new e/s as I don't have a colour like this in my collection.

• The colour is a pretty, shimmery pinky-mauve. I am not too good with decribing colours but it is kind of a dark lilac if you will.
• I wouldn't say that is a really unique colour - It's pretty but definitely been seen before.
• The eyeshadow comes in a bigger pan size than the norm. It has been said to be the size of MAC's cream colour bases and the e/s from Tartan Tale collection.
• Very soft in texture.
• It's easy to apply and blend.
• No fallout when I used it.
• It becomes a nice purply colour when used with a black base such NYX JEP in Black Bean.
• Price: This collection is not out in India yet so no idea.

This is all I have to say about the e/s for now. I have had a chance to use it just today and I created two looks. I must say that the looks don't do justice to the actual colour. The colour pictured in the e/s pan is actually what the real colour is like, and so is the swatch.

I am a little disappointed with the way the colour shows up in the pictures but that's because of my photography and lighting issues. But overall the looks turned out good so I am happy.

Products used:

1. Look 1:

• MACe/s in Mating Call
• NYX e/s in Space
• MAC e/s in Beauty Marked
• Loreal lineur intense eyeliner
• Inglot White e/s
• Covergirl Lashblast Mascara

   2. Look 2:

• MAC e/s in Mating Call
• MAC e/s in Beauty Marked
• MAC e/s in Romp
• Loreal lineur intense eyeliner
• Urban Decay 24/7 liner in Zero
• Covergirl Lashblast Mascara

So for the first look, I created a crease using NYX space. In the second one, I created the crease and blended it up with Romp and then added more definition to the crease with Beauty marked. I did one look on each eye and yes, I took my dogs for a walk wearing two different looks on my eyes! :D

Here are some pictures:

First new makeup of 2011!!

Hello!

This is the first of my new stuff for 2011! I got:

• Olay Complete all day SPF 15 moisturizer. This is my favorite moisturizer and works wonders for my skin. Lightweight enought to wear in the heat of Chennai and really loves my skin.
•  NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in "Pots & Pans" - a very pretty steely silver colour
• NYX e/s in "Lime Juice" - I was looking for a potent chartreuse colour and I thought this was it but this one swatched a bit lightly. It can be kind of compared to "Fresh Green Mix" mineralized e/s by MAC. - however it is more yellow and more matte.
• MAC Mega Metal e/s in "Mating Call" - is a shimmery pinky mauve colour. Will do a detailed RSL in another post.

Here are the pictures!

I will do a detailed review-swatch-look with MAC's mega metal e/s in Mating Call. That's why I included this teaser of a finger swatch. :D

Colour me bold!

This look had been on my mind for a while. I really wanted to try out the colour combination of black, purple and cranberry. But I just could not figure out what I wanted my inner eye corner colour to be. So I mulled over it for a few days and then decided to let inspiration strike me while I was actually doing the look!

So I used a black base and a black e/s in the outer corner. The middle portion was to be cranberry and I wanted to blend the crease out with a purple. While doing the look, I just decided to use Warming Trend by MAC and it worked out pretty well! So here is the look!

Products used:

• Benefit's Boing concealer
• NYX Jumbo eye pencil in Black Bean
• Black e/s from NYX Jazz Nights palette
• MAC Cranberry e/s
• MAC Warming Trend e/s
• Ben Nye pigment .in Amethyst
• Loreal lineur intense eyeliner
• Maybelline Great Lash mascara

Enjoy the pics!

Do let me know what you think!

Black & White Cut Crease.

Hello everyone!

I have been meaning to try out this black and white cut crease for the longest time and today I finally got down to doing it. I'm not sure how I feel about it - I certainly don't feel that it is brilliant. I guess I pictured it to be much more dramatic but it has turned out to be very simple - which is not so bad in itself. Also, the pictures could have come out better. Anyways, do let me know what you think about it, and also any feedback on how to make it more dramatic.

Products used:

• Benefit Boing Concealer
• NYX Jumbo eye pencil in Milk
• Black eye pencil
• Black eyeshadow from NYX Jazz Nights Palette
• Inglot white eyeshadow
• Loreal Lineur intense eyeliner
• Maybelline great lash mascara

Here are the pictures.

So do let me know what you think!!

Thanks
