I know I promised yesterday that I would do that MAC Club eyeshadow look that I've been wanting to do for a long long time, but today's weather was sooo humid and sooo hot. I know it's Fashion Friday but the weather didn't like that idea. We had our first actual day of summer here where the temperature actually reached 30C. I wasn't in the mood to do a full face of makeup just to have it melt off within 5 minutes. I'll do it tomorrow instead, it's not supposed to be as hot. With that said, I decided to do a Hot Humid Summer Day Makeup look. It's the kind of look you would wear out and about or even to the beach if you wanted (just wear waterproof mascara in that case). You could even wear it to work, as it's very simple but still elegant. It's the kind of look where you don't have to worry or feel like all your makeup is slowly melting off you. The whole day later, and my makeup is still perfectly on! Today's look is a mix between MAC and Too Faced products.
I did what I call a day cat eye, where I lined the upper lash line in black and lined the lower lash line with a light pink to open up the eyes. I used MAC's So Sweet So Easy Cremeblend Blush and I was going to pair it with Too Faced's La Creme in Marshmallow Bunny but I figured you'd seen this lipstick a million times by now, so I went with NARS Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in Roman Holiday instead. I wore NARS Lipgloss in Turkish Delight over it to make it glossy. Too Faced Pink Leopard is my favorite bronzer and looks great all the time.
I know I'm not smiling in these photos. My friend just passed away yesterday and the reality of it is finally sinking in.
Hot Humid Summer Day Makeup
Eyes:
Too Faced Shadow Insurance
MAC Fluidline in Blitz n Glitz (line upper lashline in a cat eye fashion)
Too Faced Perfect Eyes in Perfect Black (line upper waterline)

If you don't like lining the eyes with Benefit Eye Bright or just want a more sexy cat eye, I would put Too Faced Perfect Eyes in Perfect Black in the waterline and MAC Pearl Eyeliner in Black Swan on the lower lashline to get that sultry cat eye look.

So this is my Hot Humid Summer Day Makeup look using MAC and Too Faced products (and a bit of Benefit and NARS as well!). I hope you enjoyed the look, sorry I posted it a little late but I've got a lot going on right now in my head. I think this look is excellent for a hot humid day where you just can't stop sweating and you're feeling like all your makeup is melting off. So instead of heavy, full makeup, opt for this light and fresh look!
Did you like the look? Do you love a classic cat eye? Do you like how Benefit Eye Bright brightens up your eyes and your look? Do you like MAC Blitz & Glitz or do you prefer MAC Blacktrack?

And did you like the NARS Lip Pencil and Lip Gloss together? Let me know what your favorite part about this look is.

Since you're asking, I love the sexy cat eye makeup. When the weather is humid, it's safe to go for a light makeup, but try to highlight at least one are on your face, like what you did with your eyes here. The lashline and a mascara is enough to do it. Great tutorial!

Hi thanks for the lovely comment. I did highlight, but it doesn't appear in the photos very well. I used Benefit's High Beam on my cheekbones and maybe in a couple other places, I don't remember anymore. I always go a little overboard so I tried to tone it down a little for this tutorial! I love highlighting and contouring. It feels like such a hassle to wear makeup on a really hot day, but it's not so bad when you use light products with a light hand. Especially when you're going to sweat most of it off anyway.
