MAC Cosmetics - Blue and Silver Tutorial - NFC Divisional Playoffs FOTD

January 13th, 2008

I did this look today for the Dallas / New York playoffs…(Go Cowboys!!!) and figured that while I was waiting for kick off, I would do a tutorial. ?

• Shimma Paint
• Bare Minerals foundation (my preference, of course you can wear what you like…)
• Platinum pigment
• Rebel Rock Blue pigment
• Nars Night Clubbing Shadow
• Cover Girl Lash Blast Mascara
• Nars Orgasm blush
• MAC Light Flush Mineralize Skinfinish
• Frost Pigment
• Blacktrack Fluidline
• Mattene lipstick in Classic Dame
• Damzel Lipglass

Do your face/foundation/eyebrows. Mine are in this unbelievably bad growing out phase due to years of over plucking…if you’re considering going to super thin eyebrows, let me tell you, it takes YEARS to recover from that.
Ok.

Shimma paint all over the lid and up a little over the crease. I almost never use this paint, since I don’t much like super shimmery looks on me. That said, it’s a good base for the look I was going for today.

Platinum pigment on the lid. I’m not sure about the eye safety of this particular pigment, so if in doubt, check and make your own decision.

Rebel Rock Blue pigment in and over your crease…bring it a little higher than your crease to give the look shape and definition.

Put a little wing over your outer corner, using Blacktrack and an angled liner brush.
You’re going to do the liner in steps, bringing it across the lid and down to the inner corner, matching it up as you go so you can stay as symmetrical as possible.

Take a small round brush and put Nars Night Clubbing Shadow in your crease and make small circles to blend it, to give some depth and three dimensional color to the look. At some point in time you’re also going to put your mascara on. I apparently didn’t get a picture of this, but mascara application is mascara application, unless you’re using a special brush (like the MAC 205).
