Mac Purple Look!!


So the other day I did a dramatic purple look but I have only just managed to post it!!
I hadn't used my pigments in a while so I decided to whip them out and use my favourite colour Mac Grape.

On the inner corner, as usual, I used Cystal Avalanche and then used Shale as a transition colour to go from the white to the deep purple that is
Grape.

After that I put a little of Electra in the certain of the lid and again blended it out.


Also a little Mac Wedge was used to transition from the purple to the brow bone as I find this warms up the skin around the eye area and helps with the blending!!!


Then I used Brule as a highlight as its matte so there is an even usuage between shimmer and matte colours.


Other make up used is Mac's blacktrack fluid line, L'Oreal Telescopic mascara and Dark edge eyeshadow on the brows.

Hope you all like!!!

Mod About You

So since my last nail post, I have painted them one of my favourite nail polishes.

Even though its winter and you are supposed to wear dark, dramatic shades, I prefer to mix it up!!! Whilst my clothes and hair are all dark, I love to have the contrast of a bright summery colour on my nails, it makes me smile!!!
The formula of this shade by OPI is really nice. Unstreaky, perfect medium between thick and thin and unlike many
people, I love the width of the
brush. Its so much quicker to do your nails with a thick brush than one where you have to keep going over and over to cover the nails.

So here is a quick picture!

Tell me what you think??? Do you like wearing brights in the winter??? (I think I like this colour so much because it makes my hands look tanned!!!)

Blog to you soon!!!

Saturday Eyes

Hi everyone

So today is Saturday which means the weekend (yey!) which in turn means more time to play around with make up in the morning!!!

So I have been really into greens lately with it being autumn but today I woke up to snow so I thought i would try something different.

I usually shy away from purples on my eyes in case in turns out to
look like a nasty bruise, but I thought what the heck, just do it!!

So I reached for my purple palette, which is tiny compared to my neutral one, and found the MAC shadowy lady quad sitting there all untouched.

[Again, I apologise for the shoddy cameraphone picture but I cannot find my camera anywhere ggrr!!]

I placed smudged violet all over the lid with my MAC 239 brush. To define the crease I used Sketch and then darkened up the outer V with shadowy lady. I placed a little of MAC's electra in the inner quarter just to brighten that area up a bit. Followed with my usual blacktrack fluid line, black kohl pencil and Loreals telescopic mascara.



I really like this look and I think it would be a good choice for a night out if you added a little Carbon to the mix and false eyelashes.

I went last minute Christmas shopping today and popped into the Perfume shop to grab a bottle of Miss Dior Cherie (is that how its spelt??) and the girl serving me gave me a compliment on this look, so thumbs up for purple/bruised eyes!!!

Does anyone else take more time on a weekend doing there makeup or is it just me??? Suppose its meant to be the relaxing days of the week but I have so many eyeshadows that I don't regularly use that I want to get my moneys worth!!!!

Hope you all have a fantastic weekend!!!

Bye!
