Some of you may have seen my youtube vlog about...well...THIS blog. When I filmed it, I had been playing with some of my MAC pigments (I am constantly "phasing" between wearing MAC shadows and pigments). It had been a while, and I really liked the result. Painterly Paint Pot all over the lids, Tea Time in the crease and Vanilla as a highlight under the brow bone, and finished with some black liquid liner along the top lash line (plus a quick swipe of lipstick).
So I decided that that was going to be my next tutorial. I filmed it, edited it, and uploaded it. FAIL. Converted it to a different format, and uploaded it again. FAIL. Those of you who have been following me for a while will know that my relationship with technology is somewhat delicate. At the moment my computer and I are barely on speaking terms. I don't know whether to re-film it, re-edit it, and attempt to re-upload it (not doing anything differently, because I don't actually know what I did wrong..)
So I don't know what will happen. I am (deep breath) trying to upload it one last time (slowly exhale). I'm not actually expecting it to work..
..So here are a few photos showing you the colours I used in this tutorial (slightly different from what I was wearing in my vlog)
From top to bottom, the colours (all MAC pigments) are:
Tan
Tea Time
Silver Fog
Vanilla
I would never have thought of using Silver Fog with these other fairly neutral colours, but I loved the way it turned out - just a little extra dazzle/sparkle that I sometimes LOVE.
I have to say,
Vanilla is one of my favourite beauty products EVER, and I'm not alone in that opinion - it is one of my top-selling pigment samples. It is just so versatile! Add it over the lids once you've basically finished your eyes, and you get a sheer pearly effect, or (my fave) use it as a highlight just under your brows. I could go on but I won't bore you.
I won't bore you, EXCEPT to tell you again how much I love this lipstick, Snob. As you may know, I usually shy away from bright lips - no one wants to look trashy or like they are trying to hard, but this colour is just so PRETTY! and girly! It makes me feel like a grown-up, brunette version of Barbie (haha in a good way!)
I would DEFINITELY recommend trying it - it's a mid pink, that is...well you can see for yourself.
OK well the bad (but nevertheless predictable) news is that my upload FAILed. I'm not going to re-do it at the stage..so many other colours to play with! So I'll try another tutorial and cross my fingers and toes that it works. But for now, here is a picture of what you missed. I hate taking pictures of myself - don't wanna be THAT girl, but I have to show you what it looks like
somehow..
I'm off to try round two..wish me luck!!
XOXO
