Re-creating a MAC face chart: Aristo-Cat from Fabulous Felines

I really liked the face chart called Aristo-Cat from the new MAC Fabulous Felines collection. Since this collection is not yet released in Europe, I have re-created the look using colours that I already have in my collection. I tried to find colours that were comparable to the ones from the collection by the description of them...  

I have taken the pictures of the face chart from http://www.maccosmetics.com/

For the look I used:

Lightfall (s) from the In The Gallery quad as a dupe for Courtly

Illegal Cargo (f) LE as a dupe for Quite Spoiled

A mixture of Private Viewing (m) from the In The Gallery quad and Signed, Sealed (m) LE as a dupe for Palace Pedigeed.

On the cheeks I used Dainty Mineralized Blush as a dupe for Pet Me Mineralized Blush

On the lips I used NYX Fusion lipstick and African Queen lipgloss

And this is how the final look turned out:

I really hope you like it.

Take care

xoxo, Dominique

FOTD 19.08.2010: Simple Blue Eye Liner with Glowing Copper Cheeks

I have just made a tutorial for this look, video is in the end of this post :)

Products used:

NYX eyeshadow: Sahara (all over lid)

NYX eyeshadow: Morocco (underneath the eye and on waterline)

GOSH velvet eyeliner: Metallic Brass (upper lashline)

GOSH velvet eyeliner: Blue (lower lashline)

MAC creme colour base: Improper Copper (cheeks)

MAC Mineralized Skinfinish: So Ceylon (cheeks)

Coral and Turquoise Eye Makeup Tutorial

This look was kind of inspired by the beautiful weather that made me think of those kind of exotic birds with vibrant colours. And since I had recently recieved some new NYX eyeshadows and hadn't gotten around to playing with them, this was the perfect opportunity!!!

So I kind of created a smokey coral and purple lid with turquoise in the waterline. I think it really flattering and not too much! I didn't have a problem with wearing this look out, but if you want to tone it down a bit you could just omit the liner.






Products used:
MAC paintpot in Coral Crepe (on the lid)
MAC paintpot in Bare Study (brow highlight)
NYX eyeshadow in Tropical (all over lid)
NYX eyeshadow in Red Bean Pie (outer V, crease and under the eyes)
MAC eyeshadow in firecracker (outer corner)
GOSH eyeliner in Blue Moon (waterline)
Max Factor False Lash Effect Mascara

On the cheeks I have NYX blush in cinnamon.

Hope you guys are all well!

xoxo, Dominique

Brown Smokey Eye Makeup Using MAC Cosmetics

Today I did a video tutorial for the eye make up I've been wearing for the past week or so. I'ts a super easy and simple brown smokey eye! It takes my 5 minutes in the morning and it makes me feel glamorous, but not overly made up, if you know what I mean?! And the most glorious thing is that it doesn't have to be neat or anything - the smudge'ier and smoke'ier the better, ha ha :)

  

Products used for this eye look:
All over lid: MAC Era eyeshadow
Crease: MAC Mulch eyeshadow
Lashline: MAC Gazette Grey eyeshadow
Highlight: MAC Mylar eyeshadow
Liner: GOSH Metallic Brass
Mascara: Max Factor False Lash Effect in Black

On my face I have:
Highlight: MAC Pearl Cream Colour Base
Blush: MAC Posey Blushcreme
