Look: In the Gallery Quad
Posted by Heather | Filed under Bobbi Brown, Looks, MAC, Pink, Purple
I wasn’t sure about this quad when I first got it, but it created a really nice matte look. It’s soft and chic. The shadows looked pink and purple, but it comes out more brown on my lid. It’s so interesting to see how different colors turn out differently on various skin tones. I did a girl’s makeup when I was working at MAC - she was going to be in a beauty pageant - and I started using Satin Taupe. It looked totally purple-ish on her! It was such a cool color, so I had to warm it up with more yellow toned browns. Ok, I digress, but it was interesting!
For this look I used:
- Eyes: UDPP (primer), Painterly PP (base), In the Gallery Quad: Lightfall (inner lid), In the Gallery (middle & outer lid), Private Viewing (crease), Look at the Eyes (highlight), Bobbi Brown Violet Shimmer Ink (liner), Feline Kohl Power (waterline), Plushlash mascara
- Cheeks: The Perfect Cheek
- Lips: Hold the Pose l/s + Personal Taste l/g

Look: Smokey Electra
Posted by Heather | Filed under Black, Bobbi Brown, Gray, Looks, MAC, Silver, Smokey, Yaby, Yves Saint Laurent (YSL)
This is a take on the smokey gray eyes with a MLBB (my lips, but better) color. It’s simple white, gray, and black blended together to make it look smokey. It’s a great look for going out (even though I’m wearing this one to work…in a t-shirt ha!). But that’s just the way I am I guess. :-) Happy New Year to you and your families!
For this look I used:
- Eyes: UDPPS (primer), Yaby PP silver (base), Rondelle (inner lid), Electra (middle lid), Typographic (outer lid), Carbon (crease), Unbasic White (highlight), Bobbi Brown Black Ink (liner), Plushlash mascara
- Cheeks: NARS Super Orgasm + Shell Pearl
- Lips: YSL Rouge Volupte #3

Look: Showers of Purple
Posted by Heather | Filed under Bobbi Brown, Brands, Laura Geller, MAC, Stars Makeup Haven, Yaby
I did this look using shadows from the MAC collection that had Purple Shower in it. Also, I have to add that I love the SMH shadows (Stars Makeup Haven) that I first found on KarlaSugar’s blog. She and I actually did a swap - she gave me her left over shadows from swatching and I gave her a Dior Jazz palette :-) AWESOME trade for me! I put some green into this because I love the way green and purple look mixed together! Happy New Years Eve!
For this look I used:
- Eyes: UDPP (primer), Yaby PP in purples & green (base), Purple Shower (inner lid), Violet Trance (middle lid), Laura Geller Mint (outer lid & crease), SMH Guilty as Sin (highlight), Bobbi Brown Ivy Shimmer Ink, Plushlash mascara
- Cheeks: Gentle mineralized blush
- Lips: Front Lit l/s + On Display l/g

Posted by Heather | Filed under Bobbi Brown, Brown, Chanel, Looks, MAC, NARS, Yellow
This was a look I did using NARS Mekong and Galapogos…and it disturbs me that I cannot find my Mekong after the move :-( I’ll keep looking for it though. With all of the overcast spitting of rain we’ve been having, it’s nice to do a post that reminds me of the SoCal sunshine!

Blues may be the “forbidden fruit” of eyeshadow colors, but I love them none-the-less :-) Can’t help myself! When I walked into a classroom wearing this look, I could hear the girls in the class whispering to each other, “I love the way she paints her eyes…it’s so pretty…” Awwwww :-)

Look: Pink + Blue…looks Purple?
Posted by Heather | Filed under Blue, Bobbi Brown, Kat Von D, Looks, MAC, NARS, Pink, Purple, Yaby
