Greens and Olives Using MAC Love That Look Eyeshadow in Rated "R"

Here's my take on the Rated "R" eyeshadow from the MAC Love That Look collection. In my MAC Love That Look Initial Review and Swatches post, I'd mentioned that Rated "R" looks similar to Sharp from the Tempting Quad of the Cult of Cherry collection. When worn, however, it looks a lot like my limited edition eyeshadow in Lucky Green. It looks like this lime-moss green that is very pretty. The Starflash formula is, as always, amazing, and it was just a dream to apply.


I used Greensmoke and Humid to deepen the crease and outer V.


I also used the shadows from the Holiday Passions of Red Warm Eyes palette. I used Sweet Joy to highlight and my favorite dark green Grand Entrance on the crease.




I also used Improvise mineralize blush and Warm Blend MSF from the Colour Craft collection. Gah, I love these two! Improvise is a gorgeous color on the cheeks, and Warm Blend is amazing as a contour color/bronzer. These two products are definite keepers for me.

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


Apply Bare Canvas paint on lids and browbone and lower lashline. Smooth with finger. Using a fluffly shader brush, apply Greenstroke paint pot on lid.


Apply Rated "R" on the lid in quick patting motions using a stiff shader brush (Loew Cornell Maxine's Mop 3/8" or 239 brush).


Using a soft blender brush (I used a generic brand I found at Walgreens), apply Greensmoke on the crease going down to the outer V. Softly blend the colors using the 224 brush.





How it looks so far.


Using the Sonia Kashuk blender brush, apply Humid on the crease. Blend using the 224.


Using the Sonia Kashuk brush, apply Grand Entrance to contour the crease. Using Stila No. 5 brush, apply Sweet Joy to highlight. Softly blend the deeper colors using the 224.


Apply Blacktrack fluidline using Sonia Kashuk bent eyeliner brush. Using Coastal Scents' mini-detail brush, apply Rated "R" on inner lower lashline. Using the same brush, apply Grand Entrance on outer lower lashline. Apply Urban Decay 24/7 liner in Zero to tightline and on waterline. Apply Red Cherry falsies in 747S. Apply mascara.
