MAC angel flame quad look

Oh MAC angel flame quad, how I love ya!! This eye look is one of my favorites, and here are two different ways I've worn it. This eye shadow look is the same in each picture, I just used different makeup on the top picture compared to the bottom picture. The top photo is more on the natural side, while the bottom look I did a stronger blush and lip with the same eye.

I have used both bare study paint pot and my new let's skate paint pot for my base, both work very well, although let's skate(limited edition, but you can still get it right now at nordstrom.com I believe) makes the pink a bit brighter since it is pink-based.

The angel flame quad was from the fall colour collection, but I do believe you can still get it online at maccosmetics.com. I use the heather pink color all over my lid, followed by the angel flame color (the orange-ish color) through the crease. I then use the gravel (grey) to line my upper lash line, and highlight with the chamomile (pale yellow) color for the brow and inner corner.

It's such a feminine but different look with the pink and orange together, but it works really well for me!

For my softer look (top pic), I used my spaced out (limited edition) blush, and lollipop loving (limited edition again, sorry!) lipstick. Both are a light warm peach color, both have 'shift' to them, so they aren't true peach.

For my darker cheek look (bottom pic), I used equillibrium (bronze, and limited edition) to contour and blend up onto my cheeks, with stunner (light coral, and again, limited edition) on the apples of my cheeks. I also used a medium pink lip color, possibly snob, with a lipgloss on top.

And as usual, I used Lancome hypnose drama for the lashes.

A fun look to try out, and even if you don't have this quad, you could use a light pink for the lid, and a soft orange through the crease to get the same effect!! Love to wear it, have fun with it!

a purpley look ;-)

This is an eye look I did for work last week.... just a soft nice not-too-bright purple eye anyone could wear!

I used (all MAC unless otherwise stated) : painterly paint pot for a base, followed by creamy bisque (shroom can be used) for the inner corner of my eye and just below my brow. For the lid, I covered it with shale, then used smut to create the outer v. I used a clean brush to blend that outer v color up through my crease, and then went over the crease and outer v with some sketch.

I then used dark diversion paint pot for the top and lower lash lines, which is limited edition, but you can find any purple gel liner for this look as well.

I'm also wearing Lancome hypnose drama mascara.

It isn't too vibrant, it's more muted purple, which comes across as more of an everyday kind of look! I would probably pair this with a warmer cheek, maybe a peach or a bronze, as well as a more neutral toned lip, maybe even just some gloss. Enjoy! :-)
