The countdown is on here at makeupandbeautyblog.com, and I’ve got six days until I get to peep all the makeup magic MAC has cooking backstage at San Francisco Fashion Week.

The MAC Web site currently features some backstage looks, so here are a few that we might see next week from the Techno-Colour series:

My faves here are the bright bubble gum glossy lip in the top row and the purple eye in the middle. I really hate that yellow eyebrow, bluh!

While I’m usually color shy with makeup myself, I love seeing bright colors on others and on the runway! BEAUTIFUL! I hope the artists bust out a few looks inspired by this series.

OH! I just found out that I was kindly invited by MAC to attend a dinner next week hosted by the key makeup artists for San Francisco Fashion Week, Victor and Louise, to kick off Fashion Week. Um, hello, excited much?

This weekend I will be getting some much needed rest before all of the hub-bub next week. El Husband and I will be going to Lake Tahoe! We’re going to visit the lake (apparently it’s hella cold so swimming might not happen, boo hoo), do some gambling, and maybe I’ll hit the spa if there’s time. If you have any recommendations on what to do/where to go/what to eat (!) please let me know! We’re leaving at the crack o’ dawn tomorrow so today is my FRIDAY! WOO HOO!

I hope that your Thursday so far has been mellow and that your eye makeup looks RUNWAY HOT!

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen
