Valentine's Day Look: MAC Barbie Meets Hello Kitty

Happy Valentine's Day everyone! I made a Valentine's Day look using products from two of the most popular collections of MAC featuring cultural icons - Barbie and Hello Kitty. I know the Barbie collection is two years old, but it is still one of my most favorite MAC collections. For the eyes, I used the colors that were actually launched in this collection, but I don't have Beauty Burst (the rich reddish brown eyeshadow), so I substituted Bold and Brazen from the Starflash collection. The MAC Barbie promo pic has the model wearing lots of thick liner and lush falsies, but I opted to be different and made my liner a bit thinner and I picked not-so-thick falsies. The products used on rest of my face were mostly from the Hello Kitty collection. A step-by-step illustration follows. And of course, all products are MAC unless otherwise noted.


Apply Urban Decay primer potion all over lid, brows and lower lashline. Smooth with finger. Apply Stilife paint on lid. Using a fluffy shader brush, apply Bold and Brazen on crease to the area above the crease.


Using the 217 brush, apply Playful eyeshadow above Bold and Brazen, blending into the latter.


Using the 227, apply Whistle on browbone, blending into Playful.


Apply Vanilla pigment on browbone, blending into Whistle.


Apply Springtime Skipper shadow on lid using Loew Cornell Maxine's Mop 3/4" brush (or MAC 239 brush).


Line upper lashline using Penultimate liner in Rapidblack and Blacktrack fluidline. Apply Red Cherry falsies #503. Line waterline and tightline using Victoria's Secret kohl pencil in Black Velvet. Apply mascara. Line inner lower lashline with Springtime Skipper, and outer lower lashline with Romping, using Sonia Kashuk mini contour brush. Apply Springtime Skipper on inner corners.
