A Look Using MAC N Shadows, She Space Pigments and Dreamworld Foundation

Here's a simple neutral look for work using my MAC N shadows and my new Dreamworld samples. I like the fact that for a Tuesday morning after a glorious 3-day weekend, the MAC N shadows are the perfect colors to put together for a no-fuss, no-brainer application. I would have liked to spend more time blending and what-not, but I was running late! I also think I might have found a good Dreamworld shade. I used a 50-50 mix of Theia and Minerva in the Luna (heavy coverage) formula, and I love that the yellow-ness this time is just perfect, not too much but not lacking either. I just love the creamy formula, the awesome finish and coverage, and amazing staying power of this foundation. Can you say HG status?

I also used my MAC lipstick in Retrofluid from the Originals collection for the first time, and oh wow, I absolutely LOVE it. I love the sheer plummy-ness; it just complements my skintone perfectly. I toned it down with 1N lipglass, and I really like the combination. Retrofluid's going to be a staple for those subdued, neutral looks.

Here is a look using two of my She Space pigments, Broken Rules (foiled on lid) and Chasing Mystery (foiled on outer V). I think I also used Lumiere's Peppermint Patty eyeshadow to deepen the crease color. I LOVE Peppermint Patty, it has iridescence that is just so pretty, it reflects black, green, grey, blue, and silver all at the same time. I want to get a full size of Broken Rules when my sample runs out; it is a pretty wash that can be used anytime of the day or night.

Mrsdiaz- thank you! N collection is a godsend for those of us who don't have time in the mornings to think of eye combos. =) Congrats on your haul and N1 is my favorite lipglass from the collection as well.
