For today's MOTD I used MAC Dynamic Duo 1 Eye Shadow x2 (from the Reel Sexy Collection) for the crease and lid. Vapour Eye Shadow (highlight) and MAC Waveline Fluidline Eyeliner. The tape help create a nice clean edge for the outer corner of the eye.
The two eye shadows remind me of Expensive Pink and Vibrant Grape, if you have these two colors I would skip on the duo.
For today's MOTD I decided to change it up a little bit with a different layout. I thought it would be nice change to do more of a tutorial picture layout to show all my followers the steps to achieve this look. It has been a huge success and will be posting more MOTD'S like this from now on. If you don't know already I take all my makeup pictures with my Iphone 3GS and use FrameMagic (layout the pictures) and BeFunkyPro (edit pictures). Many people cannot believe that I do, but YES I do! These two programs have made my MOTD'S amazing! My lighting always helps and I will share that later. A post about the My MOTD Style process is long overdue.. I must share the background. SOON!
I have used the color yellow for a lot of my MOTD'S, before I hated wearing this color but now I can't get enough of it. Yellow is a color that you really need to pair with a darker shade to add a contrast and depth to your makeup. Pairing it with another brighter color would also look great! Some colors that would compliment the yellow would be bright blue, teals, grass greens, and oranges/pinks/corals (this combination makes a lovely sunset look). I haven't tried purple yet, but I am sure it would look great also.
MAC Shadows
Gesso (highlight)
Brown Down (upper crease) use with MAC #224 brush for more a diffused blending effect
Embark (crease) use with MAC #219 brush and then blend with either #224 or #217
Chrome Yellow (lid) wet your brush with MAC Fix+ and apply the yellow shadow to make it more intense
Freshwater (lower lash line) a q-tip helps create a soft blended look for a drop shadow.
The lashes are 2 pairs layered on top of each other. I will have a post about this later. No particular brand of lashes, just the ones that I get at the Japanese Dollar Store, Daiso. I love layering lashes because you can create your own style and look. Also the lashes are only $1.50!
I am so late to post this, a little bit less than a month. ACK! I totally forgot that I had this waiting for me to publish.
Since I was a kid I was always drawn to the color purple. I love wearing purple for eye shadow and eyeliner, and if the color is right on my lips as well. Purple is a wonderful complimentary color to green/hazel eyes.
Side note: When I was filming the video I used the light pink color. When I was taking the pictures I realized it was too light so I packed on the color next to it which is a mauve/purple/pink color. It is up to you which color you prefer.

I really love Pinterest, it's a great social website to share pictures with others of things that "interest" you from all over the web. You simply "pin" whatever you like on the web and categories your pins to boards. It's very much like your online scrapbook. Whoever thought of Pinterest is a genius! I have so many pictures saved on my computer and then when I want to go back and see where I got it from I can't remember. Once you pin the picture to your board you can go back and click it to be linked back to the original location. AMAZING! The more people you follow who have the same interest as yourself the more pictures will show up on your main page that you can pin. Follow me on
I recently found this picture, and I knew instantly that I had to recreate this look. The makeup was done by Foreverfashion78 it was done so beautiful! My look isn't 100% like hers but it's close and I love how it turned out.
MAC Cosmetics Eyeshadow
Mylar (highlight)
Chrome Yellow (above crease) Contrast (crease)
Electric Eel (lid)
I used colors that were similar to hers. The look was actually pretty easy to recreate. I found it was best that you start with your highlight, then crease with the yellow and blend upward toward the highlight. This will help prevent the blue taking over the yellow. Don't forget to use your eye primer to make the colors just pop!
I am going to start posting my MOTD's from Instagram on my blog to give you some detailed information on how to recreate some of the looks. More and more makeup candy pics for you!!
