Simple Neutral Look Using MAC Goldenaire Pigment and Benefit Coralista Blush





I love my MAC pigments, but one of my all-time favorites is Goldenaire pigment. It looks amazing as a wash on the lid. It gives this peachy-pink goldish shimmer that is so pretty and makes the eyes look fresh and wide awake. I use this a lot for neutral looks. Here's a look featuring Goldenaire, and the neutrals I incorporated in this look from the 88 Warm Palette.


Please use photo above for reference when following the tutorial below (as to which particular shadows were used).




I also used my beautiful Benefit Coralista blush, which is fast becoming one of my most favorite blushes of all time. This is exactly what I'd wished NARS Orgasm would look like on my skin. It is a beautiful coral shimmer (no glitter) blush with such an amazingly fine, jet-milled texture. When applied, it gives a flawless, coral flush with beautiful subtle glow. I can't rave enough about this blush. This is my current go-to blush, and I've been using it everyday for the past week.


For the lips, I used my Josie Maran lip palette. I used the Devious shade which brightens up my complexion.

All MAC products unless otherwise noted.


Apply Butternutty shadestick all over lid, browbone and lower lashline. Using Loew Cornell Maxine's Mop 3/8" shader brush, foil Goldenaire pigment using Charged Water and apply on lid.


Using the same brush, apply Shadow A on outer V.


Using Sonia Kashuk blender brush, apply Shadow B on outer lid and crease.






Blend the darker colors with the 224 brush.


Using the Sonia Kashuk bent eyeliner brush, apply Graphic Brown fluidline on upper lashline. Using the Essence of Beauty large shader brush, apply Ricepaper to highlight.


Apply Revlon self-adhesive false lashes (review coming up!). Apply mascara.
