Pinks and Purples Using MAC Colour 3 Quad and Blooming Lovely Lipstick



Here is another pink and purple look from my favorite purple quad, MAC Colour 3 quad from the MAC Spring Colour Forecast. I used the darker hues as crease and outer V colors for this look.



For the main lid color, I used my favorite Aromaleigh eyeshadow (yes, I love this so much that I think out of the hundreds of Aromaleigh eyeshadows I own, this is the one I love the most). It's the now-discontinued eyeshadow from the Valentine 2009 collection called Soul Mate. How I love this shadow! I've used this in many of my EOTDs and it never fails to amaze me. It gives this soft but shimmery pink shade that is eye-catching and really opens up the peepers. I'm so sad this has been discontinued! But good thing I was able to score one from Aromaleigh's "garage-sale" of discontinued items.



I also used my beautiful mineralize blush duo in Two Virtues from Too Fabulous collection for this look. Lovely purple pink color!



I used my greyish pink lipstick with purple undertones, Blooming Lovely from the MAC Give Me Liberty of London collection. It's cool-toned, so I had to wear a warmer lipliner to balance the undertones. I love it though - very creamy and pigmented.



I used English Accents on top of Blooming Lovely. Here's how they look like together:



Here's a step-by-step. All eye products MAC unless otherwise stated.


Apply Urban Decay primer potion all over lid, browbone and lower lashline. Using a fluffy shader brush, apply Fresco Rose paint pot on lid.


Using a stiff shader brush like the 239, apply Aromaleigh Soul Mate on lid foiled on the lid using Charged Water (use a slightly damp brush).


Using Sonia Kashuk blender brush, apply Bruised Plum on crease.


Using the same brush, apply Black Tulip on outer V. Blend with the 224 brush.




Using the same brush, apply Jungle Moon on outer V. Blend with the 224 brush.


Using Stila No. 5 brush, apply Gateaux on browbone.


Line eyes using L'Oreal Lineur Intense liquid liner (felt tip).


Apply Red Cherry falsies #15.


Rim eyes (waterline and tightline) using Engraved power point pencil. Using 214 brush, apply Soul Mate damp on inner lower lashline and Jungle Moon on outer lower lashline.

Dr. Denese SPF30 Tinted Defense Day Cream
