MAC Venomous Villains: A De Vil-ish Face of the Day

September 9th, 2010 by Karen 57 Comments

WOW! Where does the time go? Today it occurred to me that the MAC Venomous Villains collection’s just a hop, skip and a jump away (September 30).

Can I get a WOOT, WOOT! (and an evil cackle) from all the MAC-aholics in the hood? 😀

The collection, a collaboration between Disney and MAC, features four separate color stories, each one based on a different Disney villain — Cruella de Vil, of 101 Dalmatians fame; Maleficent, from Sleeping Beauty; the Evil Queen, scourge of Snow White; and Dr. Facilier, from The Princess and the Frog (find out more about the whole collection here).

Despite the subject matter and cartoon imagery, these Trix aren’t for kids. The colors are decidedly grown up, and the products MAC caliber through and through.

Today I took Cruella’s color story out for a spin with a softened version of a classic black cat eye and paired it with rosy cheeks and a glossy red lip.


MAC Venomous Villains Cruella de Vil makeup clockwise from lower left: Eyeshadow in Sweet Joy, Eyeshadow in De-Vil, Eyeshadow in Carbon, Powder Blush in Darkly My Dear, Lipstick in Heartless, Lipstick in Innocence, Beware!, Beauty Powder in Her Own Devices

Starting with my eyes, I swept the shimmery copper De-Vil eyeshadow into the crease. Because the shade’s so pigmented, I didn’t use much. Just a tad, applied with a light touch. Next, I patted shimmery beige Sweet Joy on my lid and along the brow bone. For my cat eyes, I used matte black Carbon eyeshadow as a liner, drawing it along the lash and water lines (both the uppers and lowers).

The cheeks, I kept subtle, using matte rosy brown Powder Blush in Darkly My Dear on the apples and peachy pink Beauty Powder in Her Own Devices on my upper cheek bones (for a quiet sheen).

Because the eyes and cheeks aren’t that loud, I added a POP of color to my lips, mixing creamy peachy pink Lipstick in Innocence, Beware! to creamy red Lipstick in Heartless, topping them off with shimmery red Lipglass in Wacked Ways. 🙂

If you ever have trouble drawing smooth lines with liquid liner, this approach gets around having to work with funky brushes and pen tip applicators. I think black powder eyeshadows applied with a brush (here I used the $6 Sonia Kashuk Bent Liner Brush) and used as liner are more forgiving than liquid liners. The lines have a faint blur to them, which can make mistakes a little tougher to spot. 🙂

There you have it — my Thursday makeup. Too bad I didn’t do anything devilish with it on, LOL!

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

    I can’t wait for VV!!! I use the same bent eyeliner brush by Sonia Kashuk, and I must say it is FAB and is easy to use. Definitely one of my HG brushes.

    omg! where did the time go?! I’m still trying to save up for this collection (though very very very hard when Ulta’s just a hop skip and a jump away from my house >>) Love the look and I can’t wait to get my hands on this collection! I just hope that it doesn’t sell out in seconds like the UD Naked Palette. . .

      Hey Heidi,

      This is a gorgeous copper! If you wear the shade well you could also pop it on the lid for a quick wash o’ color. 🙂

      Happy Friday!

      Hi Lena,

      Wow, you’ve got a good eye. I added something new into the mix yesterday — Trish McEvoy Line Refiner. It’s this moisturizer/line filler that I applied beneath my usual TimeBalm concealer. 🙂

      It’s a beautiful blush. Like the copper eyeshadow it’s very, VERY pigmented. For the look above I used a skunk brush and a light hand to apply.

    SO pretty :). I’m going to try it out with some dupes. Especially love your idea of making the cat eye look with eyeshadow+bent eyeliner brush instead… it looks prettier, I’m liking less harsh lines.

      Hi Astrid,

      It’s a softer take on the cat eye, for sure! Do you have the Sonia Brush? It’s the BEST!

        I can’t find Sonia Kashuk in Germany :(. But I do have a bent eyeliner brush from a local brand. Gotta try if it works out, although with my skill level it’ll take a million try before it looks like you anyways.

    Wow – I am totally amazed by your shadow-as-liner skills! This is probably the dumbest question of all time, but do you have to dampen the brush or do you just use it dry?

    Btw, I love the fur prop for the villainous look and had to laugh at the picture progression. From “come on… I’m a bit villainous” to “um, maybe not 100% evil” to “OK, what can I say? The nice girl shines through!”. 🙂

      Hi Kim,

      That’s not a dumb question at all. You can do both. 🙂 If you want a more intense line, wet the brush; if you want something softer, like in this look, leave it dry.

      Happy Friday, btw! What are your plans for the weekend?

        Thanks! I’ll do some experimenting! 🙂

        It’ll be a pretty busy weekend. I’m having dinner tonight with some out-of-town sales reps. The boys have a soccer game tomorrow morning (and I coach their team) and Sunday will be their first First Communion class, which means mass at 8 AM for us. Then I’m playing in a golf tournament to benefit our local High School Golf and Girls’ Basketball teams at noon.

        Is it obvious that I’m whining about not being able to sleep in at all? 🙂 The Husband is out of town until the end of the month, so I’ll be pretty busy between work and the boys!

        Are you doing anything fun? I’ll be envious if you say you’re having a relaxing couple of days! 🙂

      I like it, but I would probably do a nude liner and clear gloss with it. If you want to see a lip swatch of Innocence, Beware by itself scroll down to number 75-81. in this post (it also has swatches and pictures of the entire collection):

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).
