First Eye loook!

I really need to trim my eyebrows, hm. Maybe I'll do that tonight.

Anyway, I was (attempting) a Summer-y, watermelon inspired look, but it kind of went down a different path... and I don't know. Eh, it's okay.

I used the following (products):

>> M.A.C. Paint pot in Painterly
>> NYX Ultra Pearl Mania pigment in Lime (I think that's what it's called, I had to look it up because I tore off the product sticker)
>> M.A.C. Zoom Fast Black Lash
>> Sephora eye crayon in green (510)
>> Manly 120 eye pallet (for the pinks and golden)

Other face products used:
>> E.L.F. concealer
>> M.A.C. Studio Fix powder in NW20

That would be my bare eye without product on. The first thing to do is prime the eye. Apply MAC Painterly to the entire eye, making sure you have a even, fully-covered lid before you apply shadow. Using a fluffy brush (213), apply your NYX pigment to the corner and lower eye, covering about 2/3 of the eye. Extend the pigment a little further towards the outside corner of your eye, making a little dip in the middle. Using a flat brush (239) take a bright pink shade (try MAC Passionate), fill in the rest of the eyelid with your pink shade, up to right below the eyebrow. Don't worry if there is a harsh line, it will go away once we blend the yellow in. Using a shading brush (275), take a golden color (try MAC Gorgeous Gold) and blend right on top of the line between the pink and green. Spread the colors evenly to rid eye of harsh lines.

Using the green liner, Line the inside bottom of your lid, and add mascara. Final step (that I forgot to do) is shade out the pink with a highlight under your brow.

Man I really need to pluck my eyebrows!

Final Product:

Dollar Store Steals!

Soo.. I went to the dollar store the other day .. (I know what you're probably thinking, who the hell buys makeup at the dollar store) and I gotta say, it really surprised me.

I bought these NYC Loose Eye Powders, and dayummm, personally, they are way worth more than one dollar!

It comes in a box that has the eye shadow, a brush, and a eye sealer, but I threw away the brush in my extra brush holder thingy cause it's just one of those flat brushes that two year olds use in their makeup, and I tried the sealer (they work), but I don't really have the time to apply it.. but it works GREAT when you're trying to turn any eyeliner into a waterproof one. If you want me to show you how, just ask.

Anyway, these are what they look like:

(Black Onyx, Espresso, Cocoa Shimmer, Frosty Shimmer)

..and on my hand, they look like this:



The white you can't see easily on my skin (not sure if that's the product or just the lighting because I haven't used that one yet), but the rest are amazing (I have tried the rest) !

I use the Espresso on my outer lid and the Cocoa Shimmer on the inner lid just for a basic eye. Then I add a brown eyeliner and some mascara, and.. perfect neutral eye with just a bit of color!

If I have to recommend getting just one, it would be Espresso.. it works with pretty much anything!
