Tricks of the Trade

[pumpkincat210]

I thought this would be a handy and useful thread about combinations of make-up that makes a good effect... Using any mac products

BTW: Can someone tell me the combination that resembles Parrot?

Mine are:

Smolder eye khol + Lucky Green e/s

Smolder eye khol + Black Tied e/s + Stars n Rockets e/s or Pink Pearl Pigment

Expensive Pink e/s + Swish e/s

bare venus l/s + pop mode l/g

So you get the idea? Please post your favorites!!

Not quite a combo, more of a good dupe:

Sweet Brule tasti + Rose pig't = Dainty Cake lip colour (nearly exact)

But proper combos...

Naturalism paint under Sumptuous Olive
Blitz & Glitz f/l as liner and 'smoky base' at lashline with Banshee e/s (bonus: Vellum on middle part of lid, dusted lightly)
Beautiful Iris e/s all over lid with Iris Eyes f/l (as a bonus: Shu ME green 555 on lashline)
Femme Noir e/s as liner, with Velvet Moss e/s

That's it, VV, I'm breaking out Sensualise!!! Was wondering what to wear today...

or Jewel Blue + Shimmermoss

 

[Glitziegal]

Currently loving

Freshwater + Sensualize

Parrot + Knight divine

Old Gold + Mulch

 

[xiahe]

beautiful iris (over entire lid) + satellite dreams over beautiful iris + nocturnelle (crease) = ♥

milani garden mist (or juxt...but i don't have juxt so i use garden mist...you could also use golden olive pigment) on lid and parrot to line the lower lash line. HAWT. ♥

 

[Sushi_Flower]

Mulch and Sumptious Olive are too bruised looking on me and accentuates the pigment on my lids and under eye circles - any recs of what i can pair with it/under it/over it to make it work for me?

 

[Noire]

My latest combination discovery is Whim over Royal Wink fluidline - love it.

I also love using Graphito paint under things you wouldn't expect... Tilt eyeshadow, for example!
