The MAC Stroke of Midnight and Nocturnal holiday collection products I’m wearing in this look
The MAC Stroke of Midnight and Nocturnal holiday collections are available now online and coming to MAC counters and stores November 7.
More than a fee-ling! (More than a fee-ling!)
Uh…did anyone else watch The Voice last night?
I have not been able to get this song out of my head all day long.
It’s more than a fee-ling!
I feel so butt-rocky right now…
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen
Hey Karen! That eye palette looks great! What did you think of the quality of the individual eye shadows? Is it worth buying?
Hi Ki,
Do you mean the individual shadows that are sold as singles in the permanent line? Or the individual eyeshadows in the palette? Lemme know!
The colours of that eye palette are stunning. I’m really loving Midnight Hour, I wish it was permanent!!
Hi Sylvia,
Me too. It’s a lovely shade to wear along the lash line or outer corner.
You are stunning! You also inspired me to get the Zella bag (way back in Dec 2012) – and it’s been my go-to gym bag since then!
Hi Ellen,
Thank you!
I’m so glad to hear you love the Zella bag. Aren’t those zippered pockets in the front the best?
Also, have you tried the Zella Live-In Capri Leggings?
The zippered pockets are the best – one for chapsticks, one for my water bottle, one for miscellaneous…
I haven’t tried the leggings, but I’m dying to! I was pregnant throughout last winter, so I didn’t want to get things that I’d just stretch out 🙂
What an absolutely gorgeous look. I love the eye and lip look, but also, it’s just not fair how lovely Orgasm blush looks on you!! On me it is pure orange-gold shimmer (Bleh!!) , but then I am a lot yellower than you I guess. Jealous!! I’m going to see if I can make it look like this by using it with Albatross and Laguna, but I’m not holding my breath LOL.
Hi Bella,
You can do it. 🙂 What brush are you using? You might want to try a different brush (fan or a skunk) to see how that changes the final look.
Also, try tapping your brush off first, and then really buffing a small amount of Orgasm onto the cheeks. I sometimes hang out there for about a minute. Buffing seems to mellow out the shimmer.
Or you might want to try mixing in a bit of your favorite matte peach or pink. Try a 50/50 mix with Orgasm and see where that takes you.
HTH! Let me know if you have any other questions.
Richly Revered is so pretty!
It is!
At first I was a bit skeptical to buy the eyeshadow palette in warm but after I’ve seen your looks, I just decided to have it as part of my birthday wish list. Thank u Karen!
You’re welcome, Charisma.
I have a couple of these shadows in individual pans (Mulch and Amber Lights) and reach for them all the time. This kit is very wearable!
I love the little brush kit and the palette but find the markup for CAD price quite surprising but still might have a closer look at the paint pot, not only this shade but the others too. 🙂
Hey Karen! What are your thoughts on these brushes? How do they compare quality-wise to the regular MAC brushes? Is it worth saving some money or is it better in the end to buy the regular brushes?
I have the Mineralize brush set and I’m really disappointed in it. These are my first MAC brushes too. The eyeshadow brush leaves my palettes a mess – there’s a lot more loose shadow in the pan than with my other brushes and I don’t feel like it deposits color as well either. The blending brush does its job, but feels scratchy against my eyelids, like something is poking me. The face brush is the worst. It’s scratchy and the black bristles are constantly shedding on my face! Some are bent at weird angles too. I feel like I am using the worst ELF brushes, not MAC brushes.
Boo…that’s too bad, but good to know. Thanks!
The eye palette looks rrrrreally good! And you look simply stunning, Karen.
Love that pic of you and Tabs! Your eye makeup looks gorgeous.
National Cat Day is pretty much every day around our house too. I celebrated by buying some catnip and lint brush refills. 🙂
This eye look is fierce! I like Tab’s work dress code. How are the textures of the shadows? Any fallout?
Super cute cat eye, Karen! Also, to Tabs: yes, every day is Cat Day. Now give me a snuggle.
Hi, Sorry I should have been more clear! I meant in the palette – are they of the same quality as regular MAC shadows?
I am drooooooooooling here!! Might be a good thing I can’t get MAC where I live or I’d be bankrupt…
Love this look!
Everyday is Cat-Day and Bun-Day here!
Love this look. It’s beautiful!
Hi Karen, do you think the paint pot in the nude eye kit is the same in color as the pro longwear in laying low.
Love warm toned palettes and you’ve created a beautiful look there!
You look amazing girl!
Stunning!!!!
Your eye looks pretty! Very nice colors indeed.
karen, you are my shadow hero! I am pretty late in the shadow obsession game but you are inspiring me to blend and gradient away daily! Now, about this fallout business…why does it happen and how do I prevent it? HELP!
Ok, I’m really going to need to get this eye palette. You look sooo pretty in it.
