Glossy eyes / Dark lips

This is the image I used as inspiration for my most recent tutorial. Although I kept the eyes softer with less mascara and used nothing at all on the cheeks.
The photographer was Emma Tempest and we shot this a few years ago on a cold day in a cold warehouse in Loughborough Junction.
Just as in my tutorial, I used Dusk and Pearl Creme Colour Base from MAC on the models eyes.
I love working with the CCB, I find them very versatile. They can be used as eyeshadows, shadow bases, highlighters, contours, cheek tints, foundation mixers, lip stains...the list is quite endless.

Packed to go

MAC travel retail have touched on something just a little bit genius with their 'Look in a box' sets available in 'Girl Next Door', 'A Very Stylish Girl' and 'Rocker Chick'.
As the name suggests 'Look In A Box' is exactly that. You choose the look and everything you need to create it can be found in the box. (minus foundation) These are the perfect airport purchase when you realise that you forgot to pack your make-up bag.
