MAC Fafi Look

Well, sort of. I basically used five products from that collection: Girl Friendly paint pot, Fashion Frenzy blush, Belightful iridescent powder, Strawbaby lipstick and Sugar Trance lipglass. I really love all the products I incorporated in this look, starting with Girl Friendly. I made it my secondary eye base. I used my ever-trusty Beige-ing shadestick as base, then applied Girl Friendly on the lid over it. The pinks in my eyeshadows became vibrant and alive with this paint pot underneath. Staying powder was likewise excellent. I could have and should have used Nice Vice paint pot as my base on the outer lid to make my purples pop out, but I didn't have time. That would have really made the outer colors look alive, almost 3D-like (wrong word, that sounds scary!). I chose to underplay the colors to make it appear subtler for daytime wear.

Fashion Frenzy blush is so pretty especially in person, and Belightful over it just gave it the subtlest shimmer that is just gorgeous. The shimmer is neither garish nor undetectable; it strikes a pretty balance so the effect is subtle but definitely noticeable.

Strawbaby definitely surprised me. I've always thought that strawberry-colored lipsticks would look horrific on me, but it was actually pretty nice! I liked it all the more when I applied Sugar Trance lipglass over it. These two products definitely complement each other. I like the glossy, luscious effect of Sugar Trance, and I like how it lightens considerably darker lipsticks to create a soft-focus, shimmery effect.
