MAC Love Lace Collection Look

This was my look today for this week’s Tranny Talk 101 episode. It was done using colors from the recent MAC Love Lace collection. This collection came out this past December, and has some lovely sophisticated cool toned shades. You all know me, and how I like warmer colors like pinks, reds, orange, and yellow, but I decided I needed to broaden my horizons if you will.

I did not film a tutorial for this look because I was in a hurry to get my face finished. Take a look below the picture to hear how this look was achieved.

First thing I did was base out my eyelids. I really have to tell you all that the last few times I have painted my face, I have not used my usual Milk Jumbo Pencil from NYX. I have been using the new white NYX Eye shadow Base. This product is really awesome! It’s a lot like the jumbo pencil, but its thicker, and it doesn't seem to crease nearly as easily as the pencil. I still love my pencil mind you. I got to have my Milk Pencil! :D

As to the eye shadow itself, I used Suave Intentions on my main eyelid, and faded the color Love Lace, from the same collection, on the outer third of the eyelid.

For my crease I didn't want a pure black crease . I wanted it to be a lighter color, with black just in the actual crease. So what I did was take MAC Print eye shadow and put that in the crease, and blended that up to the upper eyelid. Then I took MAC Carbon, and deepened the crease on the outer part of the crease.

For the top eyeliner, I used MAC Blacktrack Fluidline gel liner. I applied this in a winged fashion.

On the lower waterline, I used Jet Black, Rimmel Soft Kohl Kajal Eye Pencil, and set it with Carbon eye shadow. I also applied the Love Lace eye shadow to the lower eyelid, and smoked it out a bit, and applied a bit more carbon to the outer third of the lower lid.

For the lips I used L.A. Colors, Pinky Lip Liner to completely line my lips. After that I applied MAC Lipstick to the entire lip area. Then to add definition to the lips, I lined the outer corners with L.A. Colors, Cocoa Lip Liner , and blended that color into the lipstick.

Here are a couple more pictures of the look. I hope you all like it! Maybe I will work with more blues in the future.
