MAC Unsung Heroes: Melon Pigment

September 26th, 2011 by Karen 71 Comments

mac melon pigment

Here in Marin County — how should I put this? — tie-die is the new black. 🙂 I joke, but this area is a mecca for different ways of thinking, and while my younger self probably would have giggled at some of the self-improvement techniques I’ve been trying lately, my older self has more of an open mind.

One of my new favorite things is to sit on my deck at sunset and mentally list all of the good things that happened that day. Some days the list is shorter than others, but I can usually come up with at least one or two things.

Plus, there’s a great side effect of catching a good sunset: makeup inspiration.

Yesterday, right as the sun dipped below the horizon, the sky turned a golden cantaloupe that looked just like today’s Unsung Hero, MAC Melon Pigment ($20 for a 0.15-oz. jar).

Sometimes the mess factor keeps me from playing with loose pigments. Maybe I’m just a klutz, but I always find a way to get loose shadow in the sink, on my clothes, on the cat and in my hair. Even so, I regularly make exceptions for Melon.

Like a slice of sweet, ripe cantaloupe sprinkled with golden glitter, it looks peachy gold from some angles and pure gold from others.

Delish!

It loves lids, too, making them look all shiny and perky, like one of those hella annoying people who gets eight hours of sleep every night (you know who you are!).

For a fast, fresh look, I like to wear it with Blacktrack and a couple coats of mascara. Then I’ll add a peachy golden blush like MAC Margin or Sunbasque and a layer of Nympehtte or Evolution Revolution Lipglass. 🙂

Improv pasta!

Until I make it to the grocery store this week, the pickin’s around here are pretty slim, but I did have enough pasta left in the cupboard to make this little dish with crimini mushrooms, spinach, garlic and parmesan cheese. It wasn’t bad, but I could have eased up on the EVOO.

What was on your plate this evening (both food and otherwise)?

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

    “on the cat” hahaha. Does Tabs get nosy like my Daphne does when you’re doing your makeup? Once she’s done her breakfast she’s up in my makeup mirror all “whatcha doooooin’ can I have more foooood?” teehee 🙂

    Melon is gorgeous! I’ve never got around to buying any MAC pigments just because I know I’ll never use a full jar. I think I’ll ask for a sample next time I hit my MAC counter.

    And your pasta looks fab. Makes me want to buy some spinach!

    I had a sample of Melon once upon an time, but never ended up with the fullsize. You’re seriously making me reconsider my decision, though; it really does perk up your lids!

    What a beautiful, glowy look that pigment gives you. I’ve learned my lesson one too many times about my ability to get the loose pigments from their container to the eyelid without “incident”, unfortunately.

    Your pasta looks yummy. Today I cooked up some tempeh with leeks, frozen mixed veggies (broccoli, carrots, and cauliflower), and various unappreciated spices from the spice rack.

      Ya know, I want to love tempeh and feel like I should, but I have yet to have any that really moves my soul. Is there a particular brand you like? And do you do any tricks to yours, like marinating it, etc.?

        Tempeh is so good for you and an easier to digest version of soy protein. It can be bitter and dry, though, so I get the Trader Joe’s brand, crumble it into a pan where I’ve sauteed some onions and garlic, then I add enough vegetable broth to cover and boil it for about 15 minutes. This softens the texture and takes out the bitterness. Then you’re left with something that resembles ground meat. I love to add some tomato are marinara sauce to it and then use this as a “meaty” pasta sauce.

          I’ve been looking for a meat sub for this Stuffed Shells recipe… Hopefully the tempeh will work!

      You could take a bit with your clean brush and press it into the lid of the jar. That’s what I do to compact it a bit and then I dust the brush first. Next, I press that brush onto my eyelid (I usually prime with UDPP and a creamy base like MAC Paint Pots). If you’re worried about fallout, you can dust your under eye area with transparent powder, then when you’re done with your eye look, run a fluffy brush on the transparent powder and it will pick up the fallout.

        Noted – heading to Space NK at the weekend to try it out! 😛 Especially since I’m having serious fallout with my NARS Calanque palette (that gorgeous first shade gets glitter all over my face) and I remember you saying the primer really helped.

        Haha the gratin was a Jamie Oliver recipe, and I’m planning on posting the dessert recipe on my food blog – will let you know when it’s online! 😉

          What brush are you using with Calanque? Have you tried using a flat eyeshadow brush? Those tend to press the product into the skin more and help w/fallout.

          Can’t wait to read about the desert. I love warm fruit tarts, especially with ice cream.

            Hmm I’ve got a fluffy eyeshadow brush (Sephora I believe) that I use for the first two colours, and a flat one to apply the darker colour. Sounds like I got the wrong way around, I’ll give the other option a try tomorrow!

            Oh dear, warm fruit tarts. And ice cream! I’ve decided to get a skillet just so I can bake a skillet-sized cookie and serve it straight from the pan with ice cream on it!

          • Karen says

            September 28th, 2011 at 10:46 am

            Or maybe even try using fingers to apply, and then blend out the edges with a fluffy brush. I do that trick all the time w/shadows that fall out.

            Cookies are my weakness, btw. I find that I can’t eat just one of them! Have you ever visited San Francisco? If/when you go you have to get a Specialty’s cookie. They are LIFE CHANGING.

        Yep, I’ve seen that before! My “garden” is basically plants put into the mulch bed around hour house – definitely nothing fancy. 🙂 I can kill any sort of plant, but tomatoes are quite forvgiving. As long as they get plenty of water and good soil they do great!

        They sell some types of plants that are small enough to put into a planter if you don’t have room to plant in the ground. And there’s this stuff called Sevin Dust that helps keep the bugs away.

          Ours isn’t anything fancy, either. It’s a lot of overgrown stuff in the front and the “Tabs'” garden on the deck (it’s a miracle my zinnias are still alive… It’s like kitty crack to him).

          I will have to check out Sevin Dust. When we had the tomatoes I tried using this organic spray made out of peppers, which ended up giving the tomatoes a very spicy flavor. El Hub looooved it but I didn’t (I don’t do spicy).

          Yay, gardening! It’s such a fun hobby.

    Your pasta looks super-yummy and I’m very impressed with your portion control (says the gal who had 2 heaping bowls of mac and cheese for dinner). The deli gave me a lb of pastrami by mistake so I’d been making lemonade – in this case a pastrami reubens, subbing coleslaw for the sauerkraut – for days. We finally moved on last night. 🙂

      I'm hungry right now (lunch is 2 hours away... wah!) and two bowls of mac and cheese sounds so good right now. Do you make yours from scratch, or do you have a pre-made version that you and the boys like?

        Oh, gosh – no. I wouldn’t trust myself with loose glitter. I think I’d end up looking like a bad macaroni self-portrait, done by a 1st grader! 🙂

        I love my homemade mac & chz but the boys prefer the pre-fab. One will only eat Kraft and the other likes Stouffers. I’m hoping they’ll change their minds as they get older. Until then, I’m usually ingesting the orange cheese. 🙂

        Btw, I read your comment earlier about the TJ’s tempeh tasting like feet and cardboard and I was totally laughing. Don’t you hate that? You try something new and healthy and after the first bite you’re thinking “oh, heavens, people do eat this; clearly I’ve done something wrong”. HAHA!

It doesn’t hurt that it’s in a pan either, making it more goof-proof on my vanity than Melon–but the sunset idea remains! Thanks, Karen, you always know how to brighten our days!

    AHHH! I love this series. Melon is one of my fave loose shadows. Thanks for the post, Karen!

    Sorry if this has already been asked, but can anyone tell me how this matches up with Nyx’s Oro? 🙂

      Hey Shannon,

      I don’t have Oro, but I’ve heard it’s a pretty good dupe.

    Melon looks great on you! …And unfortunately, *terrible* on me! I picked up a sample of it once and felt like I had to turn in my makeup-nerd membership card after. It was that bad! But hey, if it looks good on 99% of people, it’s got to look bad on 1%, lol.

    Love this color, but am more of a fan of Blonde’s Gold. It’s not quite as pink as Melon is and it is a bit more versatile.

    For dinner I went Pinoy and had some tilapia, morcon with longaniza & some salad. 🙂

    I actually just got Oro in the mail this morning! I’ve never tried Melon (mostly because I can never find it…), but I think Oro is a really nice golden-orange-bronze-y color. Now the only issue is not getting it all over myself and everything within a ten-foot radius!: 🙂

About Makeup and Beauty Blog

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).
