As requested by lovely reader Yumiko, I made a makeup look using the new products I got, which I reviewed in this post. I used the MAC Colour 4 eyeshadow quad, the Benefit Hoola bronzer, and the MAC Ladyblush blush on lips and cheeks. I hope you like this look!
EYES
MAC Soft Ochre paint pot (base)
MAC eyeshadows in Creole Beauty (golden bronze, crease), Flip (light yellow-gold, lid), Manila Paper (frosty white, browbone and lower lash line)
MAC Slick Black greasepaint stick (upper lash line)
MAC Lingering brow pencil
L'oreal Double Extension Mascara with Serum Inside (primer)
Maybelline Colossal Volume mascara
FACE
Bobbi Brown corrector in Light Peach (undereye circles & blemishes)
MAC Studio Fix Powder Plus in NC25
Benefit Hoola bronzer
MAC Ladyblush blush
MAC Pearl Cream colour base (highlight)
LIPS
MAC Subculture lip pencil (line)
MAC Ladyblush blush (fill)
I think this eyeshadow quad is pretty good. It is comprised of versatile neutrals with very good blendable (but all shimmery) finishes. However, for myself, its not really the best quad MAC has ever released. For you MAC fanatics out there, which is your favourite pre-made MAC eyeshadow quad? x
And... What do you think? Would you wear this look? ♥
I wore this look out to a dinner date with my bf. He really liked my makeup. He said that I 'look really sweet'. .. It must have been the MAC Ladyblush blush on my cheeks! Ha ha. I will definitely use that blush more ;)
And since we met up pretty early (around 530PM), we decided to go to Costa for some coffee and cupcakes. I let him do the ordering, and since it was pre-dinner, I just wanted to share food with him so I don't lose my appetite. To my surprise, he picked the coffee I have been meaning to try for a while - Hazelnut coffee. It was pretty good! But its not as good as the Creme Brulee latte that Costa used to serve in Christmastime though; I miss that so much.
The bf also ordered a Black Forest cupcake, which was so good yet sinfully rich! I love my sweet fatty foods though (haha, but I do feel a bit of guilt). I think I might order it again next time :)
Do you go to cafes much? What's your favourite Coffee type/cupcake combo? ♥
I would totally wear this look! I am a neutral hog, I think to the extreme that it's a bad thing because I never use my other eyeshadows!
ReplyDelete@Meibelle Me too! I realised that so I keep dissuading myself from buying coloured ones coz deep down I know I wouldn't really use them lol. Xx
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! I love neutrals. oh and the latte and cupcake look delish :p
ReplyDeleteThat's a very pretty look, but I have to admit I was distracted by the treats--I'm starving at the moment!!!

I would totally wear this look! I really like the blush on your lips, looks gorgeous! I don't have a favorite MAC quad, I prefer the palettes with 6 colors because they give you more options!
