Look: Neutral-ish Grays
Posted by Heather | Filed under Black, Gray, Looks, MAC, Neutral, Smokey
The day I did this look I had to go to a Principal’s Conference at a hotel as an instructional support provider. It was interesting…just sitting in some meetings pretty much. I like being on that side of the educational world though. I wanted to use more matte colors and slightly neutral, but a little smokey and gray all at the same time. This is what I came up with!
For this look I used:
- Eyes: UDPP (primer), Painterly PP (base), Clue (inner lid) Innuendo (middle lid), Typographic (crease), Carbon (outer crease), Bisque (highlight), Black Russian Pearlglide (upper lashline), Chanel Graphite (lower lashline), Feline Kohl Power (waterline), Chanel Exceptionnel mascara
- Cheeks: Hot Planet Mineralized Blush Duo
- Lips: NARS Bahama Velvet Matte Lip Pencil + Chanel Aqualumier #66 lipgloss

Look: Silver Smokey with Some Color
Posted by Heather | Filed under Blue, Gray, Green, Looks, MAC, Silver, Smokey
This is the look I used for my first tutorial. What I discovered is that it’s difficult to do a tutorial without deciding exactly what colors I wanted to use and without having a close-up mirror. It ended up being 25 minutes! So needless to say, I will have to do some major editing and cutting down. I talk too much lol! Also, I’ve never used any video editing software before, so we’ll see…it might not be posted for a while, but at least I’m getting started on it and I’m learning!
For this look I used:
- Eyes: UDPPS (primer), Rondelle (inner lid), Silver Ring (middle lid), Typographic (outer lid & crease), Humid (upper crease), Deep Truth (crease), Vellum (highlight), UD 24/7 Dime (inner lashline), Feline Kohl Power (outer lashline & waterline), Chanel Exceptionnel mascara
- Cheeks: Bobbi Brown Coral Shimmer Blush
- Lips: Arbonne Echo

Look: Quick Browns with a Touch of Pink Using Pigments
Posted by Heather | Filed under Bronze, Brown, Looks, MAC, Pink, Smokey
With this look I successfully used only Pigments. I wanted something bronzy and brown with a little bit of pink, but something quick and easy because I had to be at work early. This is what I came up with!
For this look I used:
- Eyes: UDPPS (primer), Indian Wood PP (base), Revved Up Pigment (inner lid), Museum Bronze Pigment (middle & outer lid), Chocolate Brown Pigment (crease), Naked Pigment (highlight), Brownborder Technakohl liner, Chanel Exceptionnel mascara
- Cheeks: Earth to Earth Mineralized Blush Duo + Bobbi Brown Copper Diamond Shimmer Brick
- Lips: Chanel Aqualumier lipgloss in Pink Diamond #67

Look: Blue and White Smokey Eyes
Posted by Heather | Filed under Blue, MAC, Smokey, White
Tonight I’m off to a dinner party for my best friend who’s in town from New York for a little while. This is the look I’m wearing. It looks a little better in person than it comes out in the pictures - it’s got more dimension than it shows. I’ll admit it’s a little OTT, but that’s just me :-) Anyway, the lips were inspired by a recent post from Temptalia where she shows lots of lip pictures, and it reminded me how much I love this lipstick!
For this look I used:
- Eyes: UDPP as a primer and Delft Paint Pot as a base. Vellum on the inner lid, Crystal Avalanche on the middle center lid, Climate Blue on the upper part of the middle lid, Deep Truth in the outer crease, a touch of Freshwater in the crease, and Solar White to highlight the brow. For liner I used Penultimate liner on the upper lashline, UD 24/7 in Deviant on the lower lashline, and Mystery Kohl Power on my waterline. Finished the eye with Buxom Lash Mascara.
- Cheeks: Pleasantry Mineralize Blush and Laura Mercier Shimmer Bloc in Orchid Mosaic
- Lips: Sci-Fidelity lipstick topped with Soft & Slow lipglass
