EOTD: Soft Smokey Eyes... Double Winged Liners... Et Al

Till maybe yesterday 8:00 pm, I was on a winged liner roll.. I thought nothing could look cooler than the little flick that I did at the end of my liner... But God had some other plans for me ;) While doing an EOTD for the blog, I messed up my liner while winging it and voila I discovered that I had the ability to do a double winged and it looked good on me :D Yay! So ladies... Here goes...

Excuse The Oily Face :P

With Instagram Effects (I am so Addicted!)

 

MakeUp Breakup
1. MAC RicePaper - All over the lid, inner corners as well as a bit on the under eye area.
2. Inglot Matte 378 - Outer V and Crease
3. Maybelline Gel Liner - Lower Waterline
4. Colorbar Precision Waterproof Liquid Liner - Upper Lashline
5. MAC Zoom Black Lash Mascara

So how do you like the look? Do you like the double winged liner trend?

P.S. I am planning on selling a couple of my MAC stuff as some of the shades do not suit me :( Would you be interested in me keeping a sale?

LOTD: Summer Green Smokey Eyes

I love smokey eyes, of course it isn't really a surprise for you guys but you'll notice a pattern shifting in my smokey eye looks lately. You'll notice less heavy lids, less usage of darker shades and minimal use of even black eye shadow. Yes I am adapting my smokey eyes to the Summer season and making it more friendly for the "hot" season (yes pun intended)... I love Summers and nothing makes me feel cooler than certain shades of pink, green and blue :)

Today's smokey look is basically using a Green eye shadow (MAC Humid) over MAC Paint Pot in Genuine Treasure and a little hint of black in the outer V of my lids... Hope you guys like the look and yup a video tute is in the pipeline ;)

Products Used:
1. MAC Paint Pot in Genuine Treasure
2. MAC Humid Eye Shadow
3. Colorbar Black Tie Eye Shadow
4. MUFE Star Powder in Shade 940
5. Colorbar Stick Concealer
6. Maybelline Gel Liner
7. Maxfactor False Lash Effect Mascara

REVIEW & LOTD: MAC Club Eye Shadow

After a huge success of my youtube video tutorial (self proclaimed :P), I was itching to do another one (yes already) and so I took out my brand new MAC Club eye shadow and decided to do a soft smokey look with it and also do a video tute for you guys :) BUT... yes but Club turned out to be such an awesome eye shadow that the soft smokey eye turned out to be so simple that I had to drop the idea of a video tute! :P That's the magic of MAC Club.

MAC Club is a duochrome eye shadow of a dirty green and muddy brown. And the shadow on its own is a perfect gift for all smokey eye lovers! It is perfect for doing a soft smokey eye when you have only 4 minutes in hand and almost nil skills :P And so I love it!

Also Club has a tendency to behave differently over different bases. On MAC Painterly it looks more muddy, on MAC Indianwood it looks more "goldeny" green and on a black base the teal of the shadow gets highlighted beautifully. Its like MAGIC :)

I have already reviewed MAC shadows before so I wont go into details and I'll just leave you all with some swatch and LOTD images :)

Overall Rating

9/10

P.S. My definition of a MAC Must Have is something that is unique and you wouldn't mind paying so much for :)

Make-Up for Office: Soft Smokey Eyes

Just today while going through my post list on my blogger dashboard I realised that I was totally getting swamped doing product reviews! 90% of the posts that I have been doing since the last 6 months have been on product reviews and that could mean only two things. One that I have been shopping for make-up recklessly and second that my readers (yes you all) would soon be bored of my blog because of it;s monotony :( (Tell me that wont happen and you'll make my day! Yay! :P) So anyways, in order to inspire myself to do some things different, I came up with this new idea of doing a section called "Make-Up for office" where I'll be portraying what I generally do for make-up in office. Since these will be my real life office looks, so you can be assured that they'll be wearable and not dramatic :P So anyways, lets get started with the first of the series :)

I have joined a new company and here I have been going through an unending series of technical trainings and technology ramp-ups that have left me exhausted and drained out. The whole prospect of reaching office early in the morning and attending three hour long sessions of these trainings is enough to make me go back to sleep and take a leave maybe :P Today was one of those days and well I really needed to jump start my day in order to inspire me to go to office. So I decided to do a smokey eye to Office! Now before you all exclaim saying she did a smokey eye for office, let me tell you all it was very office appropriate and did not rob me off of my professionalism :)

So here's the soft smokey eye I did...
