Reflection Series: MAC Style Black Revisited (w/mini brow tutorial!)

Hey Babes!

The last time I did this look was back in October of 2009. That feels like an eternity ago!!

The Style Black Collection from MAC is probably one of my favorite collections to date that they've done. The whole thing just spoke to me! To see my original post and look, click HERE.


Why am I always singing in my videos?? Aaaaanyway... I stopped and did a quick little brow tutorial after I was done with the eye makeup so we have a two-fer in this tutorial! Let me know if you find it helpful!

THEN



NOW

 
 

Aside from the obvious lighting and camera issues the first time around, what I changed and did differently was:

I took Sketch out of the crease and put it on the lower lash line instead and took Young Punk all over the lid and up to the crease, I swapped out the highlight color and my blending is much better! That's a trend I'm noticing as well... blending has vastly improved! I changed all of the face products and the lashes and kept the same lip products but applied them a bit differently. 

Face:
  • MAC Matchmaster Foundation
  • Too Faced Primed and Poreless
  • MUFE Camouflage Cream (under eye)
  • MAC Studio Sculpt Concealer (blemishes)
  • Nars Laguna Bronzer
  • Milani Illuminating Face Powder in Amber Nectar (blush)
  • MAC Fix+ Spray (always! lol)
Eyes:
  • MAC GreasePaint Stick in Black
  • MAC Mineralize Eyeshadow in Young Punk 
  • MAC Sketch (lower lash line)
  • MAC Pin Curl (highlight under brow)
  • MAC Brun for brows
  • Red Cherry Lashes #138
  • Avon Super Shock Mascara
Lips:
  • MAC Plum Lipliner
  • MAC Velvetella Lipliner to contour
  • MAC Mattene Lipstick in Night Violet
  • MAC Glimmerglass in Blackfire

Every single day, you are better than you were the day before. Continue to keep doing what you love and being the best at what you do!

Have a beautiful day!
