'She Who Dares' Look

'She Who Dares' Look

This look was inspired by one of the new Mineralized Eyeshadows from the MAC Venomous Villains Collection - She Who Dares. I went to an unveiling event here in NY (specifically Queens) and picked up just a couple of unique items from the collection. The collection has alot of dupeable or repromoted products that didn't impress me too much. I will do swatches and quick reviews upcoming.

Thanks to my girl Amy for inviting me as her guest after I was shot down. And also 'hey girl' to a sweet reader that said hi to me at the event. She didn't tell me her name : ( and I was looking for her but she disappeared on me.

Eyes:

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

COLOR:
For the inner lid I applied Urban Decay S&M Eyeshadow (bright metallic silver shimmer).
On the middle of the lid I applied the green side of MAC She Who Dares Mineralized Eyeshadow (sparkly forest green).
For the outer lid and outer V I used MAC Carbon Eyeshadow (matte black).
On the crease and brow bone area I applied the Creamy Camel color from the Wet 'n' Wild Vanity Palette.
For my highlight I used MAC Blanc Type Eyeshadow (matte ivory).
For my lower lashline I used the blue side of MAC She Who Dares Mineralized Eyeshadow (sparkly deep blue) - outer and Urban Decay S&M Eyeshadow (bright metallic silver shimmer) - inner.

BROWS:
My brows are filled in with MAC Eyebrow Pencil in Stud and NARS Coconut Grove Eyeshadow (matte blackened brown).

DEFINE:
I lined my upper lashline with Wet 'n' Wild Gel Eyeliner in Black.
I lined my lower waterline with L'Oreal HIP Cream Eyeliner in Black.
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 MUFE #25 Rouge Artist Intense Lipstick (peachy nude) topped with MAC Young Thing Lipglass (shimmery light nude).


Face:

FINISH:
I prepped my skin with MAC Oil Control Lotion and Urban Decay De-slick In A Tube. I used NARS Sheer Glow Foundation in Tahoe for my face set with MAC Blot Powder in Dark topped with MAC Magically Cool Liquid Powder in Cajun. I used MUFE Full Cover Concealer in #12 under my eyes set with Benefit Powderflage.
I used MUFE PDA #8 HD Microfinish Blush (pinky nude) for my cheeks.

  5. This is a fantastic look. All the hype over VV and I am just over it already. I started out with a wish list of about $300 of stuff. I'm now down to Brash & Bold and the 2 mineral eyeshadows. You are right, there are some duplicable items for sure. I'd rather make my way to the Pro store and spend my $$$ on some goodies there.

  8. you are totally rocking the smokey eyes. I don't think I've seen smokey on you that often and you should def wear it more.

    Is that a denim top u're wearing? Looks very intriguing from what I can see :)

  11. Thx Live.Love.MakeUp. This would certainly be a good nite time look. The sparkles show up more in person too.

    Thanks Sharon hon.

    Thx lovelifelive4evr. They should have these events everywhere! LOL. I guess they MAC chooses different stores for these events. They usually only have two per year so...who knows. Definitely check the MES out. They r one of the unique things in this collection.

    Thanks BeautyGUMBO.

    Thanx Kalypso honey.

    Thx girl. I agree with u favorisntfair sweets. There r a bunch of dupes and just a couple things stand out. The MES r worth checking out and so are the cooling powders if u r into gimmicky things. :) And PRO is always a GOOD time!

    Thx icosmeticRN. I liked the premise of the collection but I guess they could have done better with the products. They r not bad by any means but they r not exciting. U know what I mean?

  12. Thx Tysh girl. The green looked even brighter and more sparkly in person. Make sure u check the MES out girl. U may like at least one.

    Thx Saadeh. I tend to stay away from smokey looks because I am afraid of looking like a panda. LOL. but they r not too bad I guess. The top is cotton actually...LOL! It's a deep forest green so it kinda looks like denim.

    Teqiyya girl u r crazy!! I was looking around for u but u were gone! I was like I didn't even get her name :( so I could shout her out. Nice to meet u too my dear. What else did u get? The collection didn't wow me but it was a fun night.

    Thx santanamaria. I love when my eye look almost black. it can scare ppl and I love that! LOL!

    Thanks so much Danielitsa hon.

  16. Thx Prettybiggirlj. I'll do my best :)

    Thanx CosmeticQT. You will enjoy these...especially if u like sparkly smokey eyes.

    Thanks so much GorgeousPuddin. I'm cool with crits cawz I know we all have different tastes and preferences. Plus how else would we improve if we didn't take the good with the bad? I could be walking around looking a mess because no one pointed it out. LOL. Not cute. Besides it easy to differentiate between constructive crits and those that r just being vindictive and mean. U know what I mean?
