Small MAC haul : Painterly paint pot and Soft brown eyeshadow EOTD

Hi everyone!

I’d been wanting these two products since a long time and finally got these yesterday. Here is a simple eye makeup I did with it.

Simple everyday eye makeup with MAC Paint pot 'Painterly' and MAC eyeshadow 'Soft brown'

Products used:

1. MAC Paint pot ‘Painterly’

2. MAC Eyeshadow ‘Soft brown’

3. Colorbar I-glide pencil ‘Cocobar’

4. MAC Smolder

5. MAC select moisture cover concealer NC 45.5

6. Maybelline colossal volume mascara

Simple everyday eye makeup with MAC Paint pot 'Painterly' and MAC eyeshadow 'Soft brown'

Steps:

This is super simple everyday eye makeup.

1. Apply paint pot Painterly all over lid. Apply ‘soft brown’ eyeshadow all over it and blend in crease with compact.

2. Apply brown eye pencil on upper lash line, kohl on waterline.

3. Conceal under eye area, set with compact.

4. Finish off with mascara.

I applied paint pot with fingers first and it looked very patchy and frankly quite horrible. I wiped that off with cleanser and then tried with a random brush and it came out better without any patchiness but still not perfect. Guess I need more practice to get comfortable in its application.

Painterly is a soft beige color with a pink undertone and soft brown is a light brown with an orange undertone and together they give a neutral eye and also brighten up the eyes.

Aishwarya Rai Cannes 2011 inspired Blue and Bronze look

May 30

Posted by Ankita | Corallista

Hi everyone!

Today I’m doing a Blue and bronze look inspired by Aishwarya Rai’s Cannes 2011 makeup that she wore with the blue and white Armani Prive outfit.

Aishwarya Rai blue and gold makeup at Canned 2011

I loved the blue used by the L’oreal artists on her lids but did not like the pairing with gold on the lower lash line. In my version of this makeup, I skipped the gold for a subtler coppery/bronze shade on the lower lash line.

Warm colors when paired with blues and green bring out their color because of the contrast and this is what I’ve done here. The blue shade used is a iridescent midnight blue shade (Read review HERE) and it quite bright , so I’ve kept the lip and cheek makeup understated with a nude warm lippy and bronzed cheeks for a balanced look.

Earthy copper and coral look FOTD

May 19

Posted by Ankita | Corallista

Hi everyone!

Today I’m doing a earthy copper and coral look. Copper and corals go very well together giving a lovely warm toned look. I have used a medium-shimmer copper eye shadow, earthy warm blush and coral lipstick.

Earthy Copper and coral makeup

Summary of the look :

On a well moisturized face, apply foundation , conceal required areas and set with compact. For the cheeks, apply a warm earthy blush under the cheekbones and blend upwards and outwards (towards the temples). For the eyes, apply primer orshimmery base (like MAC CCB) and apply coppery eye shadow all over the lid and soften the edges. Apply brown liner,brown kohl on waterline and gold/copper eye pencil or eyeshadow on the lower lash line. Finish off eye makeup with volumizing mascara. Apply coral lipstick on the lips.
