MAC Coppering Makeup Look

Hey guys, today I want to show you all an easy look to do with MAC's Coppering. This is such a bright unique colour that it doesn't go with a lot looks. This is one of the ways I like to wear it.

Products used:

Face:  Bourjois Radiance Reveal Healthy Mix foundation

          Soap & Glory Glow All Out Luminizing Face Powder (on cheeks)

Eyes:  MAC's Charcoal Brown (to fill in eyebrows)

           MAC's Coppering (all over the lid)

           MAC's Carbon or any black eye shadow (in the crease, I smoked it out a lot with a fluffy brush but                                                                                 you can smoke it out a much or as little as you want to)

           MAC's Carbon (again, as liner, applied with a small angled liner brush)

           Benefit's Bad Gal Lash mascara

Lips: For this look, I tried so many lipsticks but all of them clashed somewhat. For this look I think a nude lip would work best because its hard to find a colour that would look okay with the orangey-red eye shadow. I didn't have any nude lipsticks so I just put some concealer on my lips so you could see what it would look like with nude lips. If you are looking for a nude lipstick, I know that No.7 do one.

I hope you liked this post :) If you did, give it a like on Bloglovin or a +1 on Google Plus. Do you have MAC's Coppering eye shadow? How do you like to wear it?

Friday Favourite #14 Urban Decay's Eyeshadow Primer Potion

Hey guys! This weeks Friday Favourite is Urban Decay's Eyeshadow Primer Potion. This is my favourite all time primer for eyes. I have it in the colour Original which is just a nude-ish colour but you can also get it in Eden, Greed and Sin which are different shades (some of which are shimmery) that can also be used as an eye shadow base.

The reason that I really love this primer is that it make your eye shadow last all day (and all night) and it also not only keeps your eye shadow from creasing but it makes it more vibrant. One way that I know this primer works is that if I forget to take of my makeup after a night out (c'mon we've all done it at some stage) the next morning it looks like I've just done my eye makeup, It is still absolutely perfect.

It is fairly expensive at €20 but I would really recommend it if you are going to an event that lasts all day and most of the night like a wedding. This primer potion will keep your eye shadow on and crease-free for the whole thing. If you are interested in getting this primer, you can get it here on Amazon or here on the Urban Decay website.

Hope you liked this post :) What's your favourite primer? Do you have this one? Leave a comment below.

                                                           

Friday Favourite #12 Mac's Naked Lunch Eye Shadow

Hey Guys! Today's post is of my favourite eye shadow right now, well basically for the last six months since I got it. Naked Lunch by Mac. I absolutely love this eye shadow along with many others women it seems as this is one of Mac bestsellers for eye shadows. I first heard of this eye shadow when Tanya Burr did a video of her favourite Mac eye shadows which you can watch here. I actually bought every single one of those eye shadows after I watched it to put in my Mac 15 palette. I just love the colour Naked Lunch and use it all the time across the lid and then put any colour I want in the crease because is such a nice shimmery nude colour that any colour will go with it. 

One of the things I love the most about all Mac eye shadows is that they are really high quality, the colour lasts for so long that my eye makeup looks the same when I'm taking it off as after I just put it on. I know there are always cheaper alternatives for Mac products that are as good quality, or near enough to it, as Mac, but I really think that their eye shadows are the best. I haven't found any eye shadows as good quality as them.. yet :P I have already used this eye shadow in a blog post I did quite a while ago of my everyday makeup tutorial, pairing it with Mulch, also by Mac, in the crease. To see that blog post click here. 

Naked lunch across the lid, with Mulch in the crease and Nylon in the inner corner.

If you are intersted in buying this eye shadow, you can buy it here on the Mac website or click here to get it in pan form to add it to your palette :)

Technique:

1. I filled in my eyebrows with Tease using my Real Techniques brow brush.

2. I started the eyes by rubbing Urban Decay’s Primer Potion all over the lid and up to the brow.

3. Then I applied Bordello all over the lid with the base shadow brush.

4. Next I used the deluxe crease brush to apply Last Call to the outer half of the eye and blend it up and through the crease.

5. Then I used the accent brush to add some Rockstar to the real outer corner of the eye, along the outer upper lash line and up through the crease in a V shape.

6. Next I took the base shadow brush and used it to blend the Rockstar in to the the rest of the eye shadow and to blend out the crease so there wasn't a harsh line.

7. For a highlight I applied Foxy just under the brow with the base shadow brush.

8. To brighten up the eye, I used the base shadow brush to apply the tiniest amount of Uzi to the inner corner. (otherwise there would be a lot of fallout)

9. I then lined both my waterline and my tightline with the 24/7 eye pencil in Zero.

10. I then used the pixel-point eyeliner brush to apply the Essence eyeliner to my upper lash    line, winging it out at the ends.

11. For the Final step, I curled my lashes and applied Thick & Fast to my lashes in a zigzag motion.

Hope you like the look!
