Hot hot hot!

Im not referring to the weather, but yes it's definitely a hot hot hot day! 93 F! gahh! The air is so heavy, I feel like a pancake wrapped in butter with syrup! yuck! I just got out of the shower, and i want to shower again hahah. I probably will in a few.


But back to my entry, Hot hot hot is an eyeshadow from M.A.C.'s Spring Colour Forecast. Its a lovely shade but one of those will I ever get to use this kind of eye shadow. But im a fan of color, and I like combining unusual shades together. The moment I saw and swatched Hot hot hot I knew we were meant to be...hahah.


I actually like the shade on the lids alone, but I tried to use it with other colors the other day and i liked it! But forgot to take a picture so i'm redoing it now to share with everyone here hehe

M.AC. Charcoal Brown - applied on crease and blended
M.A.C Embark - applied on outer V blended towards mid of the crease

Finals/Portfolio: Semi Smoky

Hello, posting another one of the looks I did for my finals/portfolio. I love semi-smokey because this is what I do on myself often. hehe even my friend, Caby, commented that this looks exactly how I do my own makeup.


The challenge for this look during our finals was how we could make the golds or bronzes stand out more. I already knew what I was going to do, before finding out we needed to use gold/bronze. So I just adjusted it a bit and thank goodness I had planned on using gold and pink for the eyes haha.

My lovely model Jess! We've known each other since we were kids and went to the same college too =)

For the eyes, I used a quad from 4u2 that I fell in love with! I will post a review on it soon, I promise! But overall, I like their eye shadows, good color payoff and very minimal fallout. I used mostly just that quad except for MAC Charcoal brown for the hollows of the crease and Embark for the outer corner.

Hope everyone is having a great week! =)
