Green Eye Look using MAC's Club and Steamy

Hey glam gals!!

So I'm doing another MAC look today, I went out tonight so I'll show you my outfit  and my eyes. I won't be wearing shoes because on my way home it was pouring rain and there was lightning and the whole deal, and my shoes got soaked. So no shoes. So to go with the green shirt, and yes I don't wear much else other than black, leopard and sometimes green; I'm doing green eyes. And I cannot tell you how much I love my MAC 217 brush. God that brush is great for anything. I wish I had more, I'd probably only use those.

So about the makeup, I was thinking to myself how MAC Steamy and MAC Club eyeshadows would look together. I stared at my palette trying to figure out what color would go with Club. A couple of days ago I was watching some random makeup videos on Youtube, not necessarily about a look using Club eyeshadow, just anything makeup related and I stumbled on a video by Pixiwoo using both Steamy and Club shadows, the exact two shadows I wanted to try out. They didn't use a base and it looked fantastic. For my look, however, I used a Paint Pot in Blackground (black) for this look. If you've used Club before, then you know how much a base color can make a difference. I'll post a picture below showing what it looks like with a base and without a base. My look turned out equally fabulous, but the Pixiwoo way is also on my to-do list. I used Phloof! to highlight the brow bone and to line the bottom lashes, I applied Paint Pot first and then Steamy and a bit of Club on the outer corner. I didn't use a liner because I felt that the eyes looked amazing like that. I only used MAC Powerpoint Eye Pencil in Engraved to line the waterlines. Add a bit of MAC Zoom Fast Black Lash Mascara and the eyes we're good to go.

For the face I used Benefit's High Beam to highlight, Too Faced's Pink Leopard to contour, and for a blush I used MAC's Cremeblend Blush in So Sweet, So Easy. I used the same foundation and concealers and primers that I normally use. On the lips, I am wearing a MAC Lipstick in Girl Next Door and a MAC Lipglass in Stay Sweet. They are both from the Archie's Girls Collection and aren't available anymore, but I'm sure it's possible to find a good dupe. I really liked how this shade went with the look. If you don't have that products, I'd recommend Too Faced La Creme in Marshmallow Bunny or even NARS Larger Than Life Lipgloss in International Velvet.

Outfit of the Day

So I don't usually do outfits of the day because I don't really wear anything special lol. But today I am so here's the outfit. Let me know what you think!

The shirt and skirt are from Dynamite. The earrings are Betsey Johnson. I got the cat necklace as a gift.

Here's a picture of my hair, I did a bun using the "donut" thing and a few bobby pins.

So thanks everyone for reading my post. Let me know what you thought of both the makeup look and the outfit. I thought the makeup look was great, Steamy and Club go so well together! Steamy is also my favorite MAC shade right now, I think that shade of green is just so so beautiful. Let me know what you think of these shades and the eye look. Also, did you like the blush and bronzer? I think the two go really well together and I'm really liking MAC Cremeblend Blush in So Sweet, So Easy. It's a new product for me and I'm starting to wear it more and more. The lipstick and lipgloss go perfect with the look, in my opinion anyway. It's a very nice light pink that doesn't compete with the boldness of the eyes. So this was my night out look, hope you enjoyed it!








I'm trying to catch up on all the stuff I said I would do, but forgive me if I don't post a lot this week, I'm getting my windows done starting tomorrow.

Here's a link to another look I did using Club eyeshadow, MAC Club Eyeshadow Look and How To Wear It

Green and Purple Eyes using MAC (Summer Look)

Hello lovelies!!

I really wanted to show you guys a look using Club eyeshadow but the more I thought about how I was going to do it, the more confused I got. I had no idea what I was going to do. I did some googling to get some inspiration, and I saw that you have to use a black base, such as a Paint Pot in Blackground, to get that green/blue duochrome out. Without it, you'll just get the red/brown, which isn't that nice. I tried it out with some Fluidline before I decided to commit to buying the Paint Pot. And oh my goodness did it look amazing. And I got the Paint Pot. So I'll be doing a look tomorrow using Club and I'll show you the difference between not using a base and using a black base.

But for today, I wanted to do a green and purple look, which ended up making me think that I look like a mermaid. I'm not kidding. I used Steamy and Parfait Amour and they really look great together. It's fun, but still wearable in the day (if you don't work in a conservative work environment) because the colors are light. Even the MAC ladies were impressed with my look. I used the MAC Zoomlash in Zoomblack mascara, which I haven't used in a while. I was feeling really MAC today. Let me know which mascara you prefer, MAC or Too Faced.

I knew I wanted blue toned pink lipstick so I used MAC Raspberry Swirl and I put MAC Mineralize Tinted Lip Balm in Cheery Cheery on top, both are from the Baking Beauties collection. I found a perfect dupe for MAC Raspberry Swirl, which is MAC St-Germain. They are identical. St-Germain is the slightest bit richer in color, while Raspberry Swirl is creamier (it is a Cremesheen). You will only notice this if you really look close, if you look at your hand (where I swatched) you will not notice a difference. I also encourage you to put the St-Germain Lipglass on top if you want it to be glossy.

For the cheeks, I used MAC Cremeblend Blush in So Sweet So Easy. I really really like this color and I find it can go with a lot of different pink shades, even though it's pink with yellow it still looks good with pink with blue. When you apply it, it isn't too much, so you don't have to worry about putting on a lot of color by accident. It's buildable, so you're able to keep applying until you get the amount and shade that you want. And of course I finished off this look with Too Faced Pink Leopard and Benefit High Beam.

Et voila! The finished look. I was really happy with how it turned out, I had never used these colors before. I really find it gives off a mermaid vibe, especially since my hair is still wavy from curling it a few days ago with my straightener. This look definitely made it onto the Tops list. I'm actually in love with how this turned out.

Again, I know that the MAC lipstick in Raspberry Swirl was limited edition and is no longer available but they have an exact dupe, the MAC lipstick in St-Germain. I found this out randomly when I went there today to get the paint pot and I always hear great things about St-Germain, so I wanted to check it out. I had some lipsticks in my purse and I compared them and swatched them. It was the exact same thing!! I know when I finish Raspberry Swirl, I'm buying St-Germain. Plus you can also buy it as a Lipglass.

So I hope you enjoyed the look! Please let me know what you think. Did you like the eyes and the choice of colors? Do I look like a mermaid (lol)? Do you like the lipsticks? Do you like the blush? What is your favorite MAC eyeshadow, blush and lipstick and why? Did you think the MAC mascara is better than the Too Faced mascara that I usually wear? Let me know what you think about today's MAC look.

Thanks for reading!!
