I'm featuring a step-by-step illustration of chocolate citrus eyes using my Bare Escentuals glimmer shadow in
Citrus Twist, and MAC shadows in
Sunplosion (too bad this is limited edition, but it is SO gorgeous) and mineralize shadow trio in
Inter-View. But before I do that, here's my beautiful MAC
227 brush that I just got in the mail, it is breathtakingly pretty:
The head is humongous compared to my other MAC shadow brushes, but it is excellent for highlighting the browbone or for doing a wash of color on the lids. The hairs are so soft and dense. I am so glad I got this brush.
Anyways, here is the step-by-step illustration. All products MAC unless otherwise noted.
Apply
Urban Decay primer potion all over lid and browbone. Smooth with finger. Using a fluffy shader brush, apply
Perky paint pot all over lid.
Using the
242 brush, pack
Bare Escentuals Citrus Twist glimmer shadow dry on the lid using quick patting motions.
Using the
224 brush, apply
Sunplosion shadow on the crease.
Using
Sonia Kashuk blending brush, apply the brown side of the
Inter-View mineralize eyeshadow trio on the crease and outer V, blending into
Sunplosion. Add more
Sunplosion to blend into
Inter-View, and add more
Citrus Twist if necessary.
Using the
227 brush, apply
NARS All About Eve eyeshadow duo (I used the satin/non-shimmer side) to highlight and on inner corners (I love this duo! Review coming up).
Line using
Blacktrack fluidline. Tightline and waterline using UD 24/7 liner in
Zero. Apply
Ardell 109 falsies, apply mascara.
I used
Make Up Forever HD foundation in
123. LOL, shocked? I still prefer mineral foundation, but I have a whole bottle of this and I don't want it to go to waste, so I used it. Finish and coverage are great but it's not something my mineral foundations couldn't replicate with a little help from a good hydrator spray, and mineral foundations are better on my skin and are all-natural. This foundation looks flawless, however, but I certainly don't like to use it everyday. I used
Aromaleigh Ultra Resolution finishing powder in Clear (cheaper clone of the MUFE HD loose finishing powder),
NARS Super Orgasm blush on cheeks. I used MAC
Lightly Ripe lipstick and MAC lipglasses in
Illicit and
Live and Dye.
