Every day this week I’ve been hitting the ground running (on a treadmill, that is). We’ll see how long it lasts, but I’ve been going for a run first thing in the mornings. Fittingly, the first song on my iPod’s workout playlist today was Motley Crue’s Home Sweet Home, and it FIRED ME UP! — so much so that I felt like rock n’ rolling into some pink and purple makeup for my face of the day.
I used a couple of items from MAC’s permanent line along with an Estee Lauder Michael Kors blush and two things from the new MAC Art Supplies collection (Pro Longwear Lipstain in Stylesetter, and Pearglide Liner in Designer Purple).
Drop me a line in the comments if you’d like to see a tutorial of this look.
Eyes: MAC Eyeshadow in Ricepaper (entire eye), MAC Pigment in Pink Pearl (lid), MAC Pearlglide liner in Designer Purple (lashlines), MAC Technakohl in Graphblack (waterlines), MAC Studio Fix lash (lashes); Cheeks: Estee Lauder Michael Kors Blush in Sunset Pink (apples), Benefit Hoola (contour beneath apples); Lips: MAC Pro Longwear Lipstain in Stylesetter, MAC Cremesheen Glass in Petite Indulgence
I think I might try another version later this week with a more dramatic wing using the sparkly liner… It feels like there’s still more room to rock. 🙂
What kind of look did you wear today?
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen
Ooh, I love the colours! I’d love to see the look with a more dramatic wing. I’m into neutrals these days… but once in a while I like to go all out with something crazy!
I like all out crazy too sometimes! 🙂
Karen, you HOT rocker chick!! Look’s great!! I am on the fence about Designer Purple…..how would you compare to Violet Underground??
Hi Donna,
Violet Underground doesn’t have this liner’s pink sparkles.
i loooooooooove the eyes. gorgeous.

Shivotra! Are you done with your tests yet?
Such a fun look., I love pink + purple… Now I want to do something similar!!! More looks from Art Supplies please =D.

Sure! Happy Thursday!
you make an awesome rocker chic!
btw, what foundation/concealer do you have on? your skin looks flawless
That’s Laura Mercier Oil-Free Foundation (SOOO good for pics) and Time Balm concealer. Without ’em I’d look scary, LOL!
I love the LM Oil-free on you! What color are you wearing? The MUAs at the counter matched me to Sunny Beige and I think it’s too light for myself (NC 30-35).
You definitely aren’t a groupie! You are THE rocker (chiq) <– silly pun intended.
Hee, hee! Thanks Ashley. 😀
This is SOO pretty! I really like the lip color on you!
Thanks, babe! How’s your day going so far?
Such a great purpley look! Would be great if you did a tutorial on this!
I’ll try to do either a photo tut or a video on… will see which one works out this weekend!
The love liner is super pretty!

No worries, girl! I get trigger happy with my typing too.
HOTT! Did you straighten your hair? Something about this look is ultra exotic and sexaaay! You go girl!
.-= Gemma’s last blog post… PHOTOS: Christmas ’09, Sugarland TX =-.
Yeah, I took a flat iron to it! 🙂
Don’t take this the wrong way, but the stripped shirt reminds me of an outfit worn recently by one of the contestants on RuPaul’s Drag Race 2 (on vh1). And she’s really pretty, so it’s a compliment.
Are you watching that, btw? Talk about makeup! It’s ProjRun-meets-ANTM.
That’s my favorite reality competion show right now. If only Rupaul could host ANTM then I would watch that.
I’ve actually never watched that show! I would probably love it though… <3 me some fierce drag queens (they wear the best shoes).
Hope I can find it online!
I just found out they have it on the logo website.

Totally taking that as a compliment!!
OMG that liner is HOT!!! I love it, and I really want it even though I have another purple liner already.
.-= Catherine’s last blog post… NOTD – Wasabi Green, Gold Bamboo + PANDA 😀 =-.
GUUURL you can never have enough purple liner. Seriously.
That looks great! Stylesetter is so pretty on your lips. Love that purple liner too!
.-= SoVeryFabulous’s last blog post… OPI Miami Beet =-.
Do you think you might pick ’em up?
Very pretty!
I need your makeup advice on my latest blog post. Please stop by!

What a fun look! Love the eyeliner!
.-= gio’s last blog post… Sunday beauty reads, 21/03/10 =-.
I know you love color! Hope you give this a try.
You look lovely in those pictures! I’m counting the days until I can order from this collection…
Hi Bisbee,
What do you think you’re going to pick up?
you look great!
.-= diane’s last blog post… Episode 2 of Mango goodies =-.
Thanks, Diane! Hope you’re having a nice day.
I love that! I am totally buying designer purple pearlglide, stylesetter lip stain, and the petite indulgence cremesheen glass.
i also always use benefit hoola to contour before putting blush on. lately i have been contouring with hoola and using sugarbomb as blush. i am fair skinned and if you blend it enough i think hoola works well as a contour.
Hoola is the bomb dot com! I can’t believe I waited so long to use it. 🙂
Ahh! I’m wearing purple eyeshadow today too! I used Urban Decay’s Flash and added a little UD Smog to contour. Makes brown eyes so pretty 🙂
How pretty! Love those colors.
Love the look on you …. and that lipstain is pretty pretty pretty PRETTY! 🙂
The lipstain is so fun! I’m really liking them.
How’s your day been?
you look awesome Karen, gorgeous liner work. I also love your shirt. Where did u get it? (please tell me it’s available in Canada too)
.-= Shadowy lady’s last blog post… Thursday Poll – Makeup Budgeting =-.
I got it for $12 at Marshall’s (a designer discount chain here in the US) in the junior’s section! I just checked the tag on the designer is “Mind Code.”
Gorgeous! Tutorial please?!
Okay, I’ll see if I can work out either a video or a photo tut soon. 😀
Love this look Karen! You look gorgeous, especially the last picture!! so pretty 🙂
Hi Suji,
How’s your day going? Hope you’re having a most excellent Thursday. 🙂
Ooh! You look awesome, Karen 🙂
.-= Rae’s last blog post… A bit ‘o bubble-gum pink to brighten your morning? =-.
Hi Rae!
Happy Thursday, hon!
My favorite song that surprises me as I’m running on the treadmill is Van Halen’s, “Hot for Teacher” or Motorhead’s “Ace of Spades” – yes girl, I need to rock out on my iPod to get my booty realy moving. If I’m trying to keep a long uphill (walking) pace I switch to either Jay-Z, Mariah or Lady Gaga. you can imagine how bummed I am to go to the gym and discover that I forgot to bring my iPod. Oh and bonus points if my Spin teacher pops in some 80’s music during class!
Okay enough of working out on to LOTD
eyes (MAC): groundwork p/p, All Races – lid, coquette – crease, Love Lace – outer V, Femme Fi – highlight, Sense of Style upper lash line, UD’s Underground bottom water line, lots of MAC Plush Lash
Cheek: MAC Prim and Proper
lips: MAC whirl pencil/Ample Pink plushglass.
I read that blue really makes your brown eyes pop so I’m trying to incorporate more blue into my spring eye looks – therefore, I NEED EL’s Aqua Flash!! hahhaha
OOooOOh I love me some Van Halen “Jump.” I could seriously listen to that on repeat. Have you ever had your iPod die on you in the middle of a workout at the gym? I have and it totes sucks!
Your look sounds really pretty! And yes, you’re right — blues do wonders for brown eyes (so do greens and purples, methinks).
You are a stunning rocker chick! 😀 I think I need that purple liner!
Yes you do! I can see you WORKING this color. 🙂
I loooove the cremesheen glasses. Just bought boy bait last week, feels like velvet!
Oh nice. Do you wear it on its own, or do you layer stuff beneath it?
I love your eyes! What a fun look
Hi Kat,
Thanks! Enjoy the rest of your Thursday!
I would love to see a tutorial! PS…You’re really convincing me to buy the Designer Purple liner. I can never resistant purple 😉
.-= Jackie’s last blog post… Product Love and Hate #2 =-.
Purple rules! 🙂 Hope you’re having a lovely Thursday.
I LOVE this look on you , I would love to see the tutorial as well……and today i did a pastel green blouse but i used a green eye liner and lined the top lid of my eye with it ……. i dont wear much makeup besides eyeliner , eyeshadow and mascara ….and OF COURSE LIPGLOSS!!!!!!! ……on my lips I’m wearing MAC lipglass in my favorite shade so far (I haven’t tried that many!) its called cultured . Karen have you ever tried this colour ????
I think I tried it a loooong time ago! Sometimes I lose track of the Lipglasses, LOL!
Have you tried Nymphette yet? That’s my fave. 🙂
Very pretty! You look so rockstarish! 😉
.-= Lindsay’s last blog post… FOTD: Not my dirty 30 =-.
No I havent tried nymphette yet…….i definitely will though and I have a really bad habit of losing track of lipgloss that I buy as well! 🙂
Karen,
That is such a hot look. And the colors ae so vibrant. I think that is one reason that I love MAC products. I so love the liner as well…. it is toootttaallly rock star fabulous.

Hey Karen! I’m late to the party, but wanted to say that I never rocked the pink and purple (actually, mine was pink and blue) like this back in the day! Great update – I’m looking forward to the winged version! 🙂
You Look great.
