LOOK: London Fashion Week & MAC Event ~! Meeting Terry Barber ♥

Hello everyone! I had a wonderful time from a MAC backstage preview of the London Fashion Week for A/W 2011 yesterday. I was able have a glimpse of future makeup trends, watch Terry Barber work his makeup magic, watch Betty Jackson's runway show, get a makeover, and meet a few beautiful bloggers! I really had a wonderful time. Keep reading for my story, my makeover, and some photos! ♥

Terry gave us a demonstration of doing smokey sultry sculpted makeup with coloured pigments (red and yellow)! At first I was skeptical, but by the end I was in awe at his work. He is amazing at what he does and he is so down to earth. ♥

MAC Makeup Terry used (in order)
1. Studio Sculpt Foundation
2. Red MAC Pigment (I'm blanking on the name!) - To sculpt lids and extend to temples
3. Pigment in Golden Lemon - on lid as highlight
4. Graphblack technokohl pencil - upper lash line
5. Penultimate liner - upper lash line
6. Mineralised Loose Powder
7. Same Red MAC Pigment - blush and contour
8. Cherry lip pencil - all over lip
9. Vino lip pencil - to outline lips
10. Runway Red lipstick - all over lips; to be released in the Fall!
11. Clear lip mix - gloss over lips

After watching the demonstration, we watched the quick Betty Jackson runway event. Her collection had recurring themes of Red, Beige/Camel, Black, Black with White Flowers, Fur and Lace. These are some of her items that I would wear! Some others looked a bit over-the-top for me.

I sat next to the beautiful Sammy~!

...and after that I was able to get a smokey eye makeover from one of the artists. This is what she did!

I already had: MAC Tweet Me on my lids and Texture on my crease, Vanilla on my brow bone, Slick Black greasepaint stick on my upper lash line, Lingering brow pencil and Mascara.

She added:
EYES:
Omega eyeshadow (to blend crease)
Embark eyeshadow (on outer creases to deepen eyes, and outer 1/3 of lower lash line)
Coffee eye pencil (upper lash line & smudged out)

FACE:
Peaches blush

LIPS:
Ample Pink plushglass (I love the coconutty smell of plushglasses ♥)

What do you think? ♥
And by the way, have you noticed my now-black hair? :) I dyed it back to dark brown on Friday night as my roots were showing!

After the makeover I had some bonding/randomness time with fellow beauty bloggers. They're a bunch of really nice, funny people, and generally a pleasure to be around. It was great to meet them all! You have to check out their blogs!! ♥
