Fall Collection: MAC Me Over

These two MAC Me Over eyeshadow basically focus on gray and purple, and I feel they work well together (yes sadly I think it's better to own both palette since one is light one is dark). Before I purchased these two palettes I saw many bad reviews about it. But they swatch them with fingers or wrong brush. So I decided to go to MAC store and taste them out twice. The second time I tried it I asked for #242 brush to apply on my hand (because most of the colors are matt finish and 242 is recommend with matt colors ), and the colors didn't show as bad as the online reviews say. And I just love those grayish colors!

In order to make the colors look more vivid and blend better, I used MAC Paint Peintures #Sublime Nature as base because it's less dry as paint pot and has some brown base rather then just clear.

MAC Me Over Collection #Evil Eye
This quad doesn't have good reviews online, but like I said use #242 brush and pad on the colors should work. The blackish color #Moody is actually a nice dirty-smoky color but it doesn't blend well with certain ways. But I like how it actually doesn't give too much pigment so I can blend it with many other colors.

MAC Me Over Collection #Lady Gray

gray-tone based eyeshadow quad that works perfectly with another palette of this collection.
In order to use the matt colors well, use #242 brush and pad on the coors.

Entire eyelid: Tendersmoke ( from Lady Gray) (F)

Crease: Spellcaster (from Evil Eye) (S)

Soften crease: Palace Pedigreed (from Evil Eye) (M)

Darken the outer corner and lashline: Moody (from Evil Eye) (VXP)

Highlight: All Races (From Lady Gray) (M) repromoted color

The second look I did I chose grayish tones from the two palettes. I like #Hazy Day as my eyelid because it's a nice champagne color that isn't too light nor shinny so it blends well with my crease color, which is #Evil Eye, the matt dark gray color.

Mermaid by Kat Von D

This mermaid look is created by new limited Kat Von D eyeshadow palette called Angeles, the palette has two part: earthly colors and ocean colors. They can be used together or separated. The palette was original $34 at Sephora and now it's on sale for $24.I think 8 colors for $24 is a great deal. Over all I love the palette's pigments, it's very soft (especially #leather) and highly pigmented. The shadows stays on all day with eyeshadow primer, it won't crease at all. It's very easy to be blended. The only down side of this product is the mini brushes that come with it are pretty useless.

So I used all the colors from this palette and created a mermaid look. The skin part outline is by #Bukowski (The picture has the wrong spelling, sorry!), and the light shinny part is by #Morphine and darker part is by # Bellbottom

The Eyeshadow part, the front lid and highlight is by # Rehab, middle lid is by # Venus, the crease is by #leather. The lower liner is by # Specimen and #Peggy.

Eyeliner is by MAC cream liner

Blush: MAC #Marine Life (limited)

Lip gloss: MAC Dazzleglass # Perfectly Unordinary
