That sounds gorgeous! What movie did you see?

I spent the whole afternoon depotting a lot of Mac e/s. Now I've two new palettes! I like!

 

[Anneri]

Oh, here's a pic of that Catrice e/s. Isn't it gorgeous for a drugstore e/s?

 

[Medgal07]

Hi meka!

Too late Med, too late!

But here it is!
The reason for the whole look was an e/s I got recently that's quite complex. It has a plummy base with blue and pink glitter and I was dying to try it out in a look.
So I did my normal base -
Face: EL BB Cream with Mac Mineralize loose, concealer, At Dusk Blush and Lighscapade highlighter
Eye: Catrice Plum Plumes all over the lid (prepped with UDPP and TF Glitter Glue). Even though I used the Glitter Glue I had fallout over the face but I wasn't too phased about that - I did my face after I did the complete eye look and a lot of cleaning up! (

Take that glitter!!!) I used my old, old OLD beloved palette from Red She Said (Cool Eyes) and used a light lilac to smoke the plum out and a very dark indigo for the crease/outer v/ lower lash line. I lined my upper lashline with a dark blue liner and used lots of mascara (yes, @aradhana, it's the waterproof version and nothing smudges or flakes!).
Lipstick was Huggable Out for Passion. I LOVE that lippie! I hope MAC brings those Huggables back next year!


That sounds gorgeous! What movie did you see?

I spent the whole afternoon depotting a lot of Mac e/s. Now I've two new palettes! I like!

. Your look sounds really pretty!!!! You've inspired me to use some of my MAC glitters during the winter holidays.

We watched a crazy movie called 'We are the Millers.' We just wanted some laughs.

​ That was quite a depotting party! I always liked doing that because you get to control what's in the palette & where.
​ Which technique do you use to depot?

 

[Medgal07]

Very pretty Anneri!!!

this is beautiful!


I just saw a video of a girl doing a wing, and instead of having it go up like this " / " she did hers straight out... kinda like this ---- It looked good, but hard to explain. I'll find the video.

I don't hate my hooded eyes. But I don't like the tutorials out there b/c almost everyone is doing it on "regular eyes" and it is hard to "see" how it should translate on my eye....



As always, you all are rocking the looks.

Pretty. I know what you mean about the perpendicular wing or flick. I tried it but I'm afraid I'm just not good at it and gave up all together. I think I'll
watch some of the videos and try again.

I just watched it Pretty. I love her candor

She made it look super easy. I think I might be able to do that. I'm trying it this week. Have you tried it
yet? I'm going to watch the other videos that I found on wings & hoods too.

 

[Anneri]

Hey Pretty, thank you for that link! Will watch ASAP! Med, if you find any good tutorials, please share! And here's how I did my depotting:

With a frying pan!

With a frying pan!

I posted a few links specific to the hooded lid yesterday. Check them out. I watched the one from Pretty and it's super easy!!!

I don't think I've heard of the frying pan technique before. At first I thought you were showing food that you were cooking.

Where are you? Holy cow...I did it Pretty. I tried the wing from your video...It was easy and I didn't do too bad. I'm excited to do it again to perfect it. Woo hoooo

thanks for posting that video!

i also have hooded eyes - and this is generally the way i had been doing winged eyeliner since i was a wee gal...though i had no idea when i started that my eyes were 'hooded'. in the past few years i've tried doing the other method (upwards), but i usually have to draw crazy massive lines in order to get it to show up when the eyes are open! which can be a bit much sometimes and ends up looking more punky than pinup!

 

[aradhana]

so pretty!
you've made me realize this holiday i should use some of my glitters. especially the ones from last holiday collection, which have yet to see some usage!!!

 

[aradhana]

today i wore a simple smokey look:

- winged black eyeliner
- l'oreal infallible eyeshadow in hourglass beige, all over upper lid, almost up to brow
- showgirl (deep silvery blue) on upper lid
- legendary black to depend outer third
- raven kohl liner to lower lashline
- black mascara (l'oreal miss manga)
- pleasure model edb buffed into apples of cheeks
- magnetic appeal to lightly highlight orbitals
- chestnut lip pencil
- tribalist lipstick (from style warriors collection)

 

[awickedshape]

I'm not very good with eyeliner, specifically doing wings, but I really ought to practice more. And try different types. I had a fine-point marker-type one that was good but I think I gave it away to a friend. The best I did was with the black eyeshadow in the YSL Fétiche palette.

Good practice for smokey eye week Aradhana, and it sounds so awesome!!!!! What's your preference, liquids, gels or pencil liners?

 

[aradhana]

The best I did was with the black eyeshadow in the YSL Fétiche palette.

There was a period of 6-7 years when i was in college/university where i transitioned from daily pencil eyeliner to liquid eyeliner, at first one that was the wand type, then to a cake liner with separate brush where you add water to. The cake with separate brush gave good control (line thickness, opacity), but i think i got bored of liquid liner since I was wearing it every single day! So once i finished it, i just stopped altogether wearing eyeliner for several years.

Now that I'm well over my aversion I might buy one of the cake eyeliners again!
