'Electric Chain Link' Look
It's about time I used some of the Rock & Republic eye colors I picked up right??!!! LOL. Yes I think so!
This look is a very simple smoky silver with a pop of blue which I am really loving. Oh...and I am having a (re)affair with MUFE HD Foundation. It really gives a flawless finish and looks great in pictures.
Eyes:
PRIME:
I started off with NARS Smudge Proof Eyeshadow Base all over my lid up to the brow bone. No additional base.
COLOR:
On the inner lid and tearduct area I applied Rock & Republic Chain Link Eye Color (shimmery light silver). MAC 239 Eye Shader Brush
Next on the middle of the I applied Rock & Republic Nailed Eye Color (shimmery silver). MAC 239 Eye Shader Brush
On the outer lid and crease I applied Rock & Republic Fatalistic Eye Color (matte black). Sonia Kashuk Large Crease Brush
On the browbone area and for blending I used Rock & Republic Spy Eye Color (shimmery nude). MAC Large 252 Shader Brush
For my lower lashline I used Rock & Republic Fatalistic Eye Color (matte black) - OUTER and Rock & Republic Fatalistic Eye Color (shimmery blue) - INNER. Sonia Kashuk Smudge Brush
BROWS:
My brows are filled in with MAC Eyebrow Pencil in Stud and NARS Coconut Grove Eyeshadow (matte blackened brown). Paula Dorf Eye Definer Flat Top Brush
DEFINE:
I lined my upper lashline with Stila Stay All Day Liquid Eyeliner.
I lined my lower waterline with L'Oreal HIP Cream Eyeliner in Black. Stila #28 Smudge Pot Brush
I used Too Faced Lash Injection Mascara for my lashes and added Beautee Senses Demi Pixie False Eyelashes for effect.
Lips:
For my lips I used MAC Vanity Fair Lipcolor (creamy pink).
FINISH:
I primed my skin with MAC Oil Control Lotion and Tarte Clean Slate Primer. I used MUFE HD Invisible Cover Foundation in #173 - Sigma Flat Top Synthetic Kabuki Brush - for my face and set my t-zone with MAC Blot Powder in Dark. I used MUFE #14 Full Cover Concealer - Fingers : ) under my eyes set with Benefit Powderflage - Beauty Blender Sponge.
I used MUFE #10 Sculpting Blush (matte pink) for my cheeks - MAC 129 Powder/Blush Brush and MUFE #2 Sculpting Kit for contour and highlight - MAC 168 Large Angled Contour Brush.
I love the gray shades with pink lips! And the touch of blue on the lower lashline is just perfect. Glad u're loving MUFE HD again. I have 6 fondation bottles in rotation and nothing photographs as well as HD for me

Hey Tina: I really enjoy your bright and creative looks. I kind of think neutrals are so easy to pull off. Regardless you look great in both but I do enjoy your bright & bold looks. BTW,you can repair your cracked shadow with rubbing alcohol. Go to you tube and search it. It will be back to new. I want to see more looks with Magnolia! Tootles gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteYou are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI love how the eyes and lips are bold but everything else is really light and fresh! Where'd you purchase the lipstick?
I just started a blog ---> http://angelodisogno.blogspot.com/ <---and was hoping you'd stop by, comment, follow or something :-D God Bless!
It's beautiful!!!!
ReplyDeletevery beautiful as always hun,Looooove it
ReplyDeleteThanks Saadeh. U r right! I like greys and silvers with pink...maybe a Valentine's Day look? Inspiration! I have 6 bottles too..LOL. MUFE HD photographs so well. Now that I lost my tiny tan it matches my skin very well too.
ReplyDeleteThanks Thess. I actually was surprised that the blue was so vibrant. It looked brighter in person. Loving it.
Thanks so much Tanisa!
Thanks Arezu. The blue looked really bright in person. :)
Thanks so much KayKay. I like that Vanity Fair is such a bright pink but subtle at the same time because of the finish. And it stayed on for a while too which was nice.
Thanks Shannon. No offense taken. Each person has their own preference and I know a lot of people prefer subtle looks. I like to have fun and wear bright colors but it's not for everyone. I do more bright looks esp. for the blog but when I have little time I go for simple looks. I like both subtle and bright looks...I just don't love neutrals. Heee heee!
ReplyDeleteThanx naatajla.
I can see u in this Olivia. Even the lips... :)
Thanks so much AngeloDiSogno. The lipcolor is from the recent MAC Peacocky Collection.
Thanks Jana honey.
Thanks so much Sher dollface!
Thanks so much Mercedes. I love bright looks and I like subtle looks. I don't do a lot of neutral looks but I agree that they are really easy to do and to pull off. Rather than do a neutral look I will just go out with a fresh face. I know it may sound weird to some people but instead of taking time to do a neutral look I will just go with a plain face (same result in my eyes).
ReplyDeleteI find that re-pressing a cracked eyeshadow with alcohol gives it a diff. texture in practice. I just leave it as is and work with it as a loose powder. LOL...maybe it's just me...and it's all in my head. But it's not too bad to use the R&R one as is...cracked and all. :) Thanks for looking out hon! U rock!
