I couldn’t find the exact picture I saw in a magazine, but this one is pretty close. It seems that Megan Fox has appeared here and there lately. She’s been sporting this eye catching bronze glow and well defined eyes (golds, bronzes, touches of orange and warmth). I thought I’d do my own interpretation.
Here’s the breakdown…
EYES
MAC Paint Pot Painterly last to brow
MAC Paint Pot Rubenesque lower lid only
MAC e/s Vanilla under brow
MAC e/s Swiss Chocolate in crease
MAC e/s Woodwinked inner 2/3 lower lid
MAC e/s Soba outer 1/3 lower lid
MAC e/s Mystery deepen outer 1/3 of crease, outer corner, and lower lashline
Here’s an often requested video tutorial on how to apply false lashes. In this one, I’m using MAC #7 lashes. They are the strip kind. I’ll have to do individual lashes in another tutorial. Enjoy!
I posted a review of Trish’s #11 brush the other day. Then, I got to thinking about how much coaching it took to get my clients to use is properly. So, I decided to make a quick video tutorial on how to use this brush. Enjoy!
Today, I’m headed off to meet up with my brothers who live in South Louisiana. We will be celebrating Mardi Gras!! So here is a Fat Tuesday inspired look for you. These are the traditional colors of Mardi Gras – Gold (Power), Green (Faith), and Purple (Justice).
EYES
Urban Decay Primer Potion
MAC E/S Chrome inner 2/3 of lower lid
MAC E/S Electric Eel and Melody middle 1/3 of lower lid
MAC E/S Blu-Noir and Hepcat outer 1/3 of lower lid and smudged in lower lashline
MAC E/S Carbon in crease
MAC E/S Vanilla under brow
MAC E/S Goldmine on inner corner/tear duct
Laura Mercier Eye Liner Black Ebony
MAC #7 Lashes
CHEEKS
MAC Hello Kitty Limited Edition Beauty Blush Tippy
I had a few requests for an eyeshadow look that didn’t require a bunch of different products. Sometimes, you have to crawl before you can run! I know many of us makeup artists and product junkies will find this extremely basic, but it never hurts to review the fundamentals. So, here is a lesson with a very basic (and inexpensive) eye look.
A recap of the products used:
Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion
Maybelline 70 Time For Wine Expertwear Eye Shadow Quad
Wet ‘n’ Wild Kohl Eyeliner Pencil in Black
Trish McEvoy Brushes 23 and 9
Eyelash Curler and Mascara
Here are some still pictures of the look:
And as a price comparison – you could have a similar palette of Trish McEvoy Shadows for approximately $64 (refill shadow pans go for about $16 each) or the Maybelline palette for $4-6. (Of course, there is some variation in color and pigment concentration between the two brands.)
The 4 Trish McEvoy shades are on the left and the Maybelline palette is on the right:
