'Tequila Sunset' Look

'Tequila Sunset' Look


I implore all of you, do NOT get NARS Daphne Eyeshadow! What a pain to work with! This is one of those eyeshadows that give mattes a bad name. The color payoff is just awful even with a base. It applies patchy and takes packing and building like no other. I was intrigued by the color and thought for sure that the dry swatch was just being unfair but...geez! I would substitute MUFE #92 or Sugarpill Poison Plum for this. Anywho...onto the look...

Eyes:

PRIME:
I started off with NARS Smudge Proof Eyeshadow Base all over my lid up to the brow bone. I also applied MAC Painterly Paintpot (matte pinky beige) all over my lid and up to my brow bone as my primary base.

COLOR:
On the first half of the lid and inner tear-duct area I applied MAC Blanc Type Eyeshadow (matte ivory).
For the outer half of the lid I applied NARS Daphne Eyeshadow (matte purple).
In the crease I applied Sugarpill Dollipop Eyeshadow (matte bright pink).
On the browbone I applied Sugarpill Buttercupcake Eyeshadow (matte yellow).
For highlight I used Bare Escentuals Clear Radiance All Over Face Color (shimmery light pink).

BROWS:
My brows are filled in with MAC Eyebrow Pencil in Spiked and MAC Showstopper Eyeshadow (matte blackened brown).

DEFINE:
I lined my upper lashline with Stila Stay All Day Eyeliner in Black.
I lined my lower waterline with L'Oreal HIP Cream Eyeliner in Black.
I used MAC Landscape Green Chromagraphic Eyeliner Pencil (matte grass green) on my lower lashline.
I used MAC Haute & Naughty Lash Mascara for my lashes with Beautee Senses Princess false eyelashes for effect.


Lips:

POLISH:
For my lips I used MAC English Accents Lipglass.


Face:

FINISH:
I prepped my skin with MAC Oil Control Lotion. I used I used Lancome Teint Idole Fresh Foundation in Suede 1N mixed with MAC Prep and Prime Skin. I used MUFE Full Cover Concealer in #12 under my eyes. I set with MAC Blot Powder in Dark. I used MAC Stark Naked Beauty Powder Blush (pink with gold pearl) for my cheeks.


Another GREAT day at work...
