Black Smokey Eyes using MAC - Rebel Rocker Chic

Hello glam dolls!!

As promised, here's the Rocker Chic look I promised in my Nails post. The Nail Set I used was from Nails Inc and it is the Bling It On: Rebel set. The black nail polish gives a Leather Effect on the nails and it comes with studs, crystals and skulls so you can bedazzle your nails. Now that your nails are bedazzled and looking good, it's time to make your face look Rocker Chic too!!



I used mostly MAC products for this look. I've been in a MAC mood lately lol where I just keep doing MAC looks. For the eyes I used the Blackground Paint Pot as a base on the lid and I used Black Tied eyeshadow on top. I put Forgery in the crease and I used Electra eyeshadow to bring the two colors together so it doesn't look like stark line between the two. I used the Pearlglide Intense Eyeliner in Black Swan to line the upper and lower lashline and I used a Powerpoint Eye Pencil in Engraved to do the upper and lower waterlines. I used MAC Zoomlash in Zoomblack as the mascara. Now that the eyes are looking pretty badass, for the face I used Benefit High Beam to highlight as usual, MAC Cremeblend Blush in So Sweet So Easy and to contour I used Too Faced Pink Leopard. On the lips, I used a lipstick and lipgloss from the Archie's Girls collection. The lipstick is Girl Next Door and the lipglass is Stay Sweet. Since these are limited edition and not for sale anymore, you could also use MAC Lipstick and/or Lipglass in St-Germain, Too Faced La Creme Lipstick in Marshmallow Bunny, NARS Larger Than Life Lipgloss in International Velvet. These are just some ideas of lipsticks and lipglosses you can use to complement the eyes. I would stick with a light to medium pink color or a nude color. You want to make the dark eyes the focus of the look. If you're daring enough, you can go with a bright pink lipstick to make both the eyes and lips stand out, which is common in a Rocker Chic look.



I finally used the last bit of Too Faced Pink Leopard that I had and I'm so sad. The new, re-vamped Pink Leopard is different than the old one. Not only was it new packaging, the bronzer colors are way different and they swatch different. I bought the new one months ago but haven't used it yet because I love the old one so much and I didn't want to disappoint myself in case I didn't like it. But now I have no choice. I'll be testing out the new one and I'll do a review and comparison with the old one. My mom has the old bronzer so at least I can steal hers if I don't like the new one. So to be clear, I've been using the OLD Too Faced Pink Leopard bronzer up until today and including today. From now on, I'll be using the NEW Too Faced Pink Leopard bronzer.

Thanks for reading and if you haven't already, read the post on Rocker Chic Nails: Nails Inc Bling It On Rebel.



What did you think of the look? Do you think it is Rocker Chic enough for the nails? What do you think of the dark eyes? What do you think of the lips and what lipstick or lipgloss would you wear instead for this type of look? Have you used the new Too Faced Pink Leopard bronzer? If so, how does it compare to the old one?

Thank you for reading and take care n be safe,
