[beauty_marked]

Ok so I am absolutely in love with this look. I am #75 in Make Up Forever (Sorry i dont know what that translates to in MAC, nc 50 maybe??) If anyone can give me reallly great recs for e/s, blush and lips to recreate this look, I will be oh so ever grateful.

Thanks soooo much in advance.

Wow...I REALLY like that look a lot too!!! Looks like the idea/color story from the N collection just with a little darker eye.

oh and NYX is a cosmetic brand, i guess you would call it a drugstore brand(??) that many find comparable to MAC

hmmm i'm no expert but maybe you could try electra e/s blended out into carbon e/s for the eyes. idk about the cheeks, maybe a peachy color? peaches blush maybe? and maybe myth l/s? hth

Eyes:
Mylar e/s (Highlight)
Print e/s (in crease and outer 'v' winged out in cateye)
Electra e/s (on lid, blended into Print)
Smolder eye pencil on lashline and waterline, smoked out on lashline
Plush Lash Mascara in Black
Falsies for more drama

Cheeks:
Peaches blush lightly dusted on cheeks

Lips:
Stripdown l/p
3N l/s (or Angel, or for more color, Twig Twig)
Underage l/g or 2N l/g

i think fairybell hit the nail on the head! im nw45- nc50 too.

i'd add undereye highlight in mac lighthearted mystery powder. blended from the outer bridge of the nose all the way to the hairline. after the undereye highlight then apply peaches blush.

can i really pull off peaches??

 

[lilMAClady]

Yes, and don't ever doubt it! It's one of the most universally flattering colors there are! (me=nc45 and I LOVE peach!!!)

 

[priss]

yes you can really pull off peaches. i live in texas so we stay darker than normal about 8 months of the year. and in the middle of august when i have to wear mac nw 50 or 55 i still wear peaches.

ambering rose is darker and has more shimmer- and more orange if you want something darker. mac razin is darker and matte. but i think peaches is actually the best recommendation.

also, mac coygirl blush is the pink version of peaches and is just as flattering

lilmaclady is right. peaches is universally flattering. ive been at counters and mac stores and seen peaches applied to every complexion known, and still it rocks!
