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.  

Sunset Eye Look and Tutorial Using MAC Melon Pigment



Here is what I call "sunset eyes" with some brown to create depth. I love the peaches, corals and brown combination. It is neutral enough if you don't like garish colors, but it is a notch above boring, same-old-same-old neutral shades.  I used MAC Melon pigment which I have not worn in a long time.  I love how it complements my skintone and how great it looks with golds, bronzes, coppers and browns.  I also used the MAC Inter-View mineralize eyeshadow trio (I used the dark brown shade for the crease).  I didn't use the L'Oreal eyeshadow for this look, so please don't mind it. lol




I also used my beautiful MAC Coral Crepe paint pot.  This is one of my favorite paint pots ever.  I use this for a wide variety of looks, and it looks great with all of my neutral, gold, bronze and even summery eye looks.



I used the MAC Colour 4 Quad from early this year's Spring Colour Forecast (Beige/Amber cluster) collection.  The colors are perfect for a nice sunset look.



To give that reddish coral pop of color, I used MAC Hot, Hot, Hot and Perky, of course from the Spring Colour Forecast (Coral Cluster) collection. I love these colors because they give a different, saucy flavor to neutral looks.

Here's a step by step. All products MAC unless otherwise noted.


Apply Urban Decay primer potion on lid and lower lashline. Using a fluffy shader brush, apply Coral Crepe on lid.


Using a stiff shader brush like the 239, apply Melon pigment dry on lid in patting motions.


Using Sonia Kashuk shader brush (or the 217, but I prefer SK), apply Perky eye shadow on crease.

Coral Eye Look Using MAC Spring Colour Forecast Eye Shadows in Perky and Hot Hot Hot







Here's an eye look using some of the beautiful eyeshadows from the MAC Spring Colour Forecast collection. I don't have MAC shadows similar to these colors so I was really excited to get them. They look good worn together.


I used Nanogold from the same collection to highlight.



To deepen the crease, I used Tempting and Dark Edge shadows from the Tempting quad.



I also used the dark brown from the MAC Inter-view mineralize eyeshadow trio for this look.



I used MAC Spaced Out blush from the Neo Sci Fi collection, one of my favorite coral blushes ever.



I also used MAC lipstick in Warm Me Up from the Warm and Cozy collection, topped with Cha Cha lipglass (see photo above).

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


Apply Urban Decay primer potion all over lid and lower lashline. Using a fluffy shader brush, apply Perky paint pot on lid.


Using a stiff shader brush like the 239, apply Perky eyeshadow on the lid.


Using Sonia Kashuk blender brush, apply Hot Hot Hot on the crease.


Using the same brush, apply more Hot Hot Hot and blend using the 224.


Using the same brush, apply the dark brown side of Inter-View on the crease.


Add a little Tempting into the dark brown and blend using the 224.


Apply Dark Edge on the crease using the Sonia Kashuk blender brush.


Blend using the 224 brush.
