Smokey Eye Tutorial Using MAC Leopard Luxe Shadow Quad and Urban Decay Naked Palette

Wild By Nature, Notoriety
Style Predator, Furiously Fabulous

I used my Leopard Luxe in a coral eye look, but I haven't tried it for a smokey eye. I honestly wasn't blown away by Furiously Fabulous - until I did this look. It is such a gorgeous, gorgeous color - sort of like a pewter-khaki color on my lids. It looks darker in the pan but it morphs into a very pretty color when applied.


To create depth, I used Creep from Urban Decay Naked palette on the crease and outer V. It is a black shadow with micro-glitter.


I used Pet Me mineralize blush from the MAC Fabulous Felines collection.


I used my MAC lustreglass in Star Nova (right-most).


I used one of my all-time favorite MAC lipsticks ever, the beautiful Rubia named after Paulina Rubio (my Orchidazzle lipstick was being sandwiched by my two Rubias in the pic). I love it so much that I have fully consumed one tube, so I am now using the first of my two backups.


Of course, you just gotta love Purely Cosmetics' Diamond Perfect Finish powder. It gives an airbrushed finish and blurs imperfections and fine lines.


I also used my Benefit Creaseless cream shadow in Skinny Jeans as base for my Furiously Fabulous shadow.

Here's a step-by-step. All eye products MAC unless otherwise specified.



Apply Urban Decay primer potion in Sin all over lid, browbone and lower lashline. Using a fluffy shader brush, apply Benefit Benefit Creaseless Cream Shadow in Skinny Jeans on lid.


Using a stiff shader brush like the 239, apply Furiously Fabulous on lid.



Using Sonia Kashuk blender brush, apply Urban Decay shadow in Creep on outer V.

Coral and Brown Eye Look and Tutorial Using MAC Leopard Luxe Eye Shadow Palette

Wild By Nature, Notoriety
Style Predator, Furiously Fabulous

Here is a look featuring several products from the MAC Fabulous Feline collection, including the Leopard Luxe palette. This is a pretty palette especially if you don't have colors similar to these. Furiously Fabulous is a beautiful frosted warm black that many are falling in love with because it applies like a dream and the color is really pretty. However, it looks more like a soft brown-black than a straight black to my eyes, hence the title of this entry. I also used Notoriety, a dirty brown with gold pearl in the Velvet formula, and Style Predator, a frosted midtone yellow-orange that worked as my main lid color for this look.


Marked For Glamour

I also used my favorite MAC Superslick liquid eye liner, Marked For Glamour, a metallic grey that is very appealing.


I used Utterly Game blush (right) as well.


For the lips, I used Wildly Refined (bottom-most) over NYX lipstick in Frappucino and MAC Jazzed lipstick.

Here are some pictures. All eye products MAC unless otherwise noted.


I don't know what happened to the first few eye pictures I took, but I lost them. Suffice it to say that I used Urban Decay primer potion in Sin as base, Coral Crepe paint pot on the lid, followed by Style Predator on the lid applied with the 239 brush. I also used Notoriety applied with the Sonia Kashuk eye crease brush on the outer V.

Here are some initial swatches of the MAC Fabulous Felines collection. I will be coming up with swatches of the rest of the products in the next few entries.

Obviously, this collection's theme is all about pedigreed cats. Three sub-"cat"-egories were made: Burmese Beauty which is about shades of sable, champagne and teak-olive, Palace Pedigreed which is about emerald eyes, silvers, russian blue, and Leopard Luxe which has golds, browns and bronzes from the collection.

For this entry, I will divide the reviews according to products instead of the sub cat-egories for easier navigation. Let's start!

HOW-TO TIPS BY KERI BLAIR

This mix of warm tones and velvety finishes captures the sensual side of feline characteristics. Sultry browns softly sculpt the eye, and by extending the shape, we create a feline-inspired look that’s both
powerful and playful. Finish with a sweetly dramatic lip.

Before you start with colour, prep skin with Fix + and Studio Moisture Fix, followed by a small amount of Prep + Prime Face Protect SPF 50 in the T-zone.

Smooth the lips with Lip Conditioner.

For colour, start with the eyes using Teddy Eye Kohl to line the upper and lower lash lines. Using the tip of the pencil, start at the end of the bottom lash line and wing the liner up to create the template for your
liner. Smudge the Teddy pencil slightly around the eye.

With the 239 Eye Shader Brush, apply Style Predator on the inner corner of the eyelid and blend towards the middle of the lid.

Flip over your brush and apply Old Gold Pigment to the center of the eyelid, layering it over the base colour of Style Predator.

Using the 217 Blending Brush, apply Wild by Nature into the crease of your eye. Start in the inner corner and work up into the eyebrow, then follow the natural shape of your crease and pull out the colour to your
eyebrow.

In the outer corner, use the 219 Pencil Brush and apply Notoriety to the outer corner of the eye in the same shape of a cat’s eye (blend this over the Wild by Nature).

Use Mineralize Skinfinish Natural in Light under your brow and pull down.
Using the 266 Small Angle Brush, apply Embark Eye Shadow as eye liner, keeping it tight to your lash line and winging out over the Teddy Eye Kohl.

Then, to intensify your liner, use On the Hunt Superslick Liquid Liner in the outer corner of your wing!

Lastly, apply two coats of Plush Black Mascara to the top and bottom lashes. Use the brush to extend your top lashes out and up!

Clean up any debris around your eyes with Fast Response Eye Cream and a sponge.

Using the 187 Duo Fibre Brush, apply Mineralize Satinfinish SPF 15 Foundation. Set with a light powder of Prep + Prime Transparent Finishing Powder.

Apply Utterly Game Mineralize Blush with a 116 Blush Brush. Start close to the ear, and then using circular motions, move the colour over the cheeks, towards the nose.

Blot off the Lip Conditioner and lightly outline, then fill, your lips with Creamola Cremestick Liner.  Finish off with an application of On The Prowl lipstick.
