EOTD: Pinky Gold = MAC Melon piggy & Loreal Fiery

Gahh I hate my fat ugly nose but I took this pic w my bb so I dont have it right just yet..

Anyway my outfit was pink and yellow so I wanted to use my MAC Melon piggy. It goes sooo good with pink.

My routine is always the same. Once you get the technique right, its so much easier to experiment with all colors. We all start somewhere! *Usually with neutrals*

In order of application:

Base = MAC paint pot in bare study using a flat prescriptives brush, looks like a concealer brush, very flat n smooth, luvs it!

Middle of eye= Melon piggie packed on with MAC brush 242 along lower lashline. A little goes a long way, but I buy a lot of pigment samples first. I hate to commit to a full size unless I have a trial run first, and this one deserved full size status!

I bought 1/4 teaspoon piggie samples on www.thebodyneeds.com. Freakin awesome and only $1.79-$2.09 each in little jars. Most of the samples I bought I havent even used up yet, and they have lasted a year or more. Most of these colors you dont use daily anyway.

Outer third of eye = I absolutely love the new Loreal Hip Pigments. They're just as good as MAC in cuter, smaller containers and they are just as pigmented. I used the pink pigment called fiery, its the best pink pigment I've found, but I'm a serious pink girl. I packed it on with the MAC 239 shader brush and tried not to go up too far, but with big ol fluffy eyelids you have to go up far enough. Dont be afraid of that outer corner!


Outer corner = I use a combination of brushes. I like my MaryKay crease brush the best because it's the softest, and dipped into a mid deep purple MAC shadow Fig (newly added to my collection) and sweep up and out, staying in a line but not extending too far up. I used to sweep along my fake creaseline but I'll show you pics where I've done that and trust me, the results of NOT creating a fake crease are much better! Then I pick up one of my absolute fave brushes, my Sonia Kashuk (ala Target) squirrel brush, which is probably called a blending brush but it looks like a squirrel to me. I bought it in a full set around Christmas time for about $20, and I bought it again for my younger sis (actually accidentally bought it for her 2 yrs in a row for Christmas.. thats how great of a deal I think it is!)

Inner corner to middle of eye = I use a light color for the inner eye, depending on the color scheme of the look, this time I used MAC shroom, an off white cream with shimmer. I usually use a fluffy brush to swirl around from the inner corner to the fake crease I would have if I was a normal lidded girl, (dont wanna walk around with patchy spots cuz that aint the bizness) and tie up all the loose ends.

Brow highlight = upper crease area up to the browbone, used to use a lot of whites and shimmer but I'm starting to see how unnatural that looks so I've switched over to MAC vanilla, which is shimmerless and MAC dazzlelights which is like vanilla but it has a shimmer to it.


Finish up with another sweep of melon and pink to make sure you're not gonna fade, and you're good to go!
