Hot Pink Lips and a MAC Chenman Face of the Day

February 29th, 2012 by Karen 30 Comments

Okay…I went buck wild today with makeup.

So much MAC. So many swatches. I totally lost track of time while snapping pics and didn’t even think about my actual makeup look for today until I put down the camera for a few minutes this afternoon, and then I saw my raison d’être for hump day: a Force of Love.

Nothin’ like a hot pink lip to jolt you wide awake. 🙂

For this look, which I’m calling “getaway car driver with hot pink lips,” I mostly used products from the new MAC Chenman collection, which hits stores tomorrow (that’s just a few hours from now!).

EYES
  • MAC Chenman Mineralize Eye Shadow in Pink Union (crease and lids)
  • MAC Chenman Pigment in Naval Blue (outer third of lids)
  • MAC Chenman Mineralize Eye Shadow in Love Cycle (lower lash lines)
  • MAC Eye Shadow in Concrete (brows)
  • MAC Zoom Fast Black Lash (upper and lower lashes)

CHEEKS
  • MAC Chenman Beauty Powder in Play It Proper (apples)
LIPS
  • MAC Chenman Lipstick in Force of Love topped with Lipglass in Force of Love

How about you? I hope you had a good day today. What did you wear for your makeup? Did you play it cool and quiet or go buck wild with brights?

Well, I’m officially un-made up right now and getting ready for bed. After, of course, I watch the new episode of Justified.

Oh, heavens, Timothy Olyphant, am I under arrest? 🙂

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

    I keep reading Pink Union as Pink Unicorn.
    LOVE the lips. They’re riveting!

    Hi Karen,

    I always refer to your blog/posts on MAC products! too bad they release late in India. The pink union e/s reminds me of Stars n rockets! Love your look here.

    Force of Nature looks beautiful on you. I like how you blended different colours to get that eyeshadow look. I really like some of MAC’s Mineralize Eyeshadows so will definitely be checking out this collection.

    Have a good week, Karen!

      Hi Fieran,

      I like some of Mineralize Eye Shadows too. Do you ever apply them with a wet brush? It gives the shadows a shiny, foiled look.

      Happy Thursday!

      Hi Nina,

      You won’t be disappointed by Force of Love. It’s so cheerful and happy! (Psst, it also looks great layered beneath EvRev, too.)

      How’s your day going? It’s 7:40 in the morning right now… but I’ve got high hopes that it’s going to be a great day.

    Well, you know I was brown and boring again today. 🙂 I really like your buck wild look, though. It’s very springlike. That’s refreshing since it’s currently snowing here!

    I love the pink lipstick combo on you. 🙂

    Today I’m wearing NARS Strada mixed with the lavender from the Almay purple trio for brown eyes, with the deep purple shade in the outer v, and some black gel liner and lots of black kajal. I’ve been loving NYX Cafe blush lately, and I think I’ll use Revlon Spicy Cinnamon on my lips.

    ok, that does it!
    I’m off to MAC to get those darn eyeshadows. As if I needed any more makeup.
    MAC are the devil, I swear it. Thank god we don’t have Sephora over here, that’d be the death of me….

    Pink Union is gorgeous on you!

    Now for my embarrassing question. My two cosmetic loves are eye shadows and nail polishes. Is it at all possible for you to post a quick tutorial on how you did this eye? I am a southeast Asian gal like you, and haven’t had many good makeup blogs to look up to because of my skin tone and eyelid type. Many Asian bloggers are much lighter than I am, and have totally different lids. I do a decent job with my lids, but they never look as effortless and natural as yours do (especially when I try blues, greens, and yellows like you did in your MAC Eye Shadow X 4 quad in Colour Added review). I have similar lids, and am always so impressed with what you do!

Welcome to Makeup and Beauty Blog
Hi there! I’m Karen, your friendly neighborhood beauty addict, and I’m a Bay Area girl who hoards brown eyeshadow and covets coral lipstick. Every morning, I wake up and say, “I’m going to do something other than a smoky eye today.” Then…I end up doing a smoky eye anyway (most days). When I’m not putting on makeup, taking pictures of makeup or writing about makeup, which I’ve been doing daily since 2007 (!), you’ll find me hanging out with my hubby (“El Hub”), my four-year-old daughter (Connor Claire) and my torbie girl cat (Pretty Girl Rosie, a.k.a. PGR).
