MAC Groundwork + Honey Lust = ? this eye combo
In addition to a few of the requisite “adulting” things I have to do on Saturday mornings, like starting the laundry, watering the plants, getting breakfast started, administering lurvies to my feline overlord, etc., sometimes I really get to slip in some actual fun.

Like today, I played around a bit with a new eye makeup technique I’ve been loving lately.

And, yes, I recognize that I modification favorites sometimes multiples times each day (haha), however as of meow it’s my new preferred eye makeup technique in the whole wide world!

I was influenced by this Instagram video from Alev Karsli, a MAC artist from Istanbul (not Constantinople), Turkey. She does a subdued bronzed glam look on a design that I don’t look anything like at all, however I truly liked the method she used.

You take matte taupe MAC Groundwork paint Pot cream shadow, add a few drops of Mac necessary Oil, mix them together with a brush, as well as apply that directly to your lids.

What a excellent idea! I desire I’d believed of it.

And the fun doesn’t stop there. You can then layer something like sparkly golden champagne MAC Honey Lust shadow (permanent line) on top of Groundwork.

Also, if you want to smoke out your lower lash line, line it with great old bronzed MAC Teddy Eye Kohl. Smudge it out, then blend shimmery copper Amorous Alloy right on top.

Smokey! That’s MAC Teddy Eye Kohl with Amorous Alloy on my lower lash lines.

After I hop off the computer, I believe I’m gonna smoke this out a bit more, since you understand the old saying, “French toast tastes much better when you’re using a smokey eye.”

Vent, hvad? That’s not a saying…? Well, it should be, don’t you agree?
