Mac Satin Taupe and Quarry - the perfect match!

Hello Everyone, 

Buongiorno a tutti,

today is all about taupe and dusty purple and the main characters are satin taupe and quarry by Mac.

I hope you like the look!

I started by applying an eye primer and a generous layer of quarry, a gorgeous grayish/purple matte colour, all over the eyelid, bringing the colour just above the crease and along the lower lash line. I then added satin taupe, a grayish/ brown with a purple undertone and subtle shimmer, in the outer corner blending the colour in the crease to add depth and a hint of shimmer. Lastly I softened the edges with a subtle highlighter blending it toward the brow bone and inner corner. Plenty of mascara - my infallible Clinique High Impact Curling Mascara -  and a hint of Benefit Eyebright Pencil along the waterline and the look is completed!

hope you like it

I love this look because it's quite simple but the combination of colours and undertones make it appears even more elaborate. I love the warmth of quarry and the light shimmer of satin taupe and they make the perfect couple combined together!

oggi è giornata di tonalità autunnali, grigio e viola combinati insieme e i protagonisci del look non possono che essere 

satin taupe e quarry di Mac.. ed ecco il look:

Ho iniziato con l'applicare un primer e un generoso strato di quarry su tutta la palpebra, quest'ultimo è un ombretto matte grigio/viola, portando il colore oltre la piega dell'occhio e lungo la linea delle ciglia inferiori. Con satin taupe, un ombretto grigio/marrone con un leggero shimmer, ho intensificato l'angolo esterno dell'occhio e sfumato leggermente l'ombretto lungo la piega. Per ultimo ho utilizzato un illuminante nell'angolo interno e lungo l'arcata sopraccigliare per ammorbidire i bordi e rendere il tutto più sfumato e soft.

Tanto mascara - l'infallibile Clinique High Impact Curling Mascara naturalmente - e un velo leggero di matita rosa lungo la rima interna dell'occhio -  Benefit Eyebright.

Questo look mi piace molto perchè é semplice e allo stesso tempo completo. Adoro la combinazione dei toni caldi di quarry e il leggero shimmer di satin taupe, con la matita rosata nella rima interna per un look da giorno e con eyeliner nero e matita nella rima interna per un look da sera più intenso.

Perfetto per occhi verdi, azzurri e nocciola. 

spero vi piaccia

ciao!

soft pink & burgundy look - trucco rosa e bordeaux

Hello my Dears,

today is all about pink and burgundy for an easy yet eye-catching look that  works magic with green eyes but it is a great look for blue and brown eyes too.

I started by priming my eye lid with Urban Decay Primer Potion and dust a generous amount of Yogurt by Mac -a soft matte pink- all over the lid bringing it up to the brow bone. Then I contoured my eyes with Pupa pencil Multiplay no. 06 drawing a thick line along the upper lash line and a thinner line along the lower lash line. With a pencil brush I then smudge it adding some Sketch eye shadow to keep the pencil in place and add a darker hint to the pencil.. this is because I noticed that if I use only the pencil, its reddish undertone makes me look too tired and adding the eye shadow, which has a brownish undertone, gives a cooler and less "tiring" tone to the colour. To finish off I used pink Freeze as highlighter under the brow bone, a bit of bronzer and the beautiful Shy Girl lipstick by Mac on the lips.

  For this look I also used Mac eyelash primer which is a white mascara with fibers in it, to be used to coat the lashes before applying the mascara: in my opinion this product is worth the 10£ price tag and last a long time (I got mine for my wedding last year!), it is very easy to use, adding volume and curliness (is it a word!?!?!) to the lashes.

Perfect makeup look for work or a day of shopping, easy, intense but still subtle, all at the same time!

Yogurt, pink Freeze, Sketch all by Mac

I hope you like it
