Mac Wonder Woman Wearable Spitfire and Athena's Kiss Lips Makeup Tutorial!

So, you want to wear Mac's Spitfire but you don't know how to wear it and not look overdone? Well, the very virtue of Mac's Spitfire is that your lips will get noticed. However, this shouldn't deter anyone from wearing it. Why? Because it's an amazing color! I paired it here with a soft shimmery eye with heavy dark eyeliner. I purposely wanted my eyes to stand out, but I didn't want them to fight with my lips. Nobody wants a battle of color on their face! I decided to go with a neutral eye, dark defined eyes, and bright lips.

The most important part of this look that often gets overlooked when doing makeup is SKIN. Since my eye makeup was pretty minimal and my lips were so noticeable, I decided to really play up my skin by adding Mac's Strobe Cream to my foundation. What this does is add a nice sheen to your foundation - which gives the appearance of extremely healthy, glowing skin without over added sparkle of a highlight. Just like 1950's pin up girls sported matte, seemingly flawless skin, anyone who is going to strut a bold lip wants to make sure she plays up her glowing complexion to really sell the lips and eyes. I find this look very wearable. Not necessarily work appropriate, but I would sport it during the day. What are your thoughts?

Ok, so the packages I was suppose to get in on Thursday never came in so the product of the week for this week has been delayed thanks to Mother Nature and a Blizzard! Ahhhh!

Fun Gold and Purple Intense Eyes with Ruby Lips

This is an intense gold and purple eye look with a really nice ruby lip. I was really inspired by the cat eye look lately and I wanted to capitalize on that inspiration. I wanted this look to be really gold, but also include some intense deepness. I also wanted to compliment the bold eye with a more bold wearable lip. I decided on Laura Mercier's Ruby Glaze lip plumper. Since I didn't get a chance to use it with the Laura Mercier Silk Road Palette, I decided to use it in this tutorial. Enjoy!

Valentines Day with a Bold Kissable Pink Pout!

I am usually not a big fan of Valentines Day and it's not because of the traditional reasons. I am not a huge fan because I always over-indulge in Dove's chocolate shaped hearts and Conversation Hearts! They are just so yummy and really only available around this time of year! hahaha. On the plus side, for some Valentines Day is extremely romantic. Every Valentines Day I have ever had has never really lived up to the hype - so sorry, boyfriends, I have to admit...your attempt at romantic fell short when you didn't save me from a sinking ship like Leonard DiCaprio in Titanic. Gosh, movies ruin everything! hahaha.

Anyway, this look was inspired by Valentines Day and the Too Faced Romantic Eye Palette which is sold at Sephora and Ulta and retails for $35.00. I love this palette. It makes my heart swell and makes me wonder what romantic events are in store for me this Valentines Day...will I finally get saved from a sinking ship? I hope not. It's cold where I live and I can only imagine how frigid the water is. Unlike Kate Winslet, I can't promise I won't let go...I'm far from a member of the Polar Bear Club. :-/

Edgy Taupe with Peach Lips

I wanted to show another way to use the Laura Mercier Silk Road Palette. I decided to use the "Rare Taupe" color to create an edgy look with some nice peach lips. I really like the result.

Modern Day Pin Up Look #2

This is just another modern day pin up look. I was in the mood for a deep red lip. I wanted this look to have hints of the classic pin up look, such as the bold lip, neutral eye and flicked out eyeliner, but I wanted to modernize it with glowing skin, a shimmery eye and a deeper red lip. I hope you all enjoy!
