Smokey Purple MAC Look

Recently I received an email asking if I could do a purple smokey look with MAC products.. Well since I don't normally do Today's Looks anymore or do many post with high end make up.. I thought I would! 

Here is the look.. The products I used are at the bottom.. 

I didn't smoke it out too much. Clearly you could add as much depth as you want but it was daytime when I was wearing this look so I thought this was plenty. 

As you can see its a mixture of purples.. from a light silvery purple for a highlight, a medium purple for my crease and a darker purple to smoke it out. 

 

This look is not complicated at all. Its all about layering and building to get the look you want. 

 

Here are the products I used. 

MAC Silverware and To The Ball ES from the 6 Beauties Play It Cool Palette

MAC Permaplum Powerpoint Pencil

MAC Revenge is Sweet Gloss

MAC Zoom Fast Lash Mascara

Estée Lauder Bronze Goddess Illuminating Bronzer

Foundation was Neutrogena Healthy Skin foundation which I love! 

When doing a smokey eye the key is to practice.. and its really important to blend.. Also even with MAC products I like to do my foundation first but not powder until I am done with the eyes. That way if you have any fall out you can easily clean it up with a little concealer or foundation. 

If you don't have the MAC shadows that I used, there are plenty of drugstore products like either the 

Maybelline New York in Amethyst Smokes or Maybelline New York Lavender Fields. 

Hope you like it!

Saturday Night Brush Cleaning + a Review..

Saturday night was pretty dull around here. Scott was wore out and went to bed early so I had plenty of time to get one job done..

Brush Cleaning..

I had a ton of dirty brushes that really needed to be cleaned..

I decided to use a new brush cleaner by ELF. It is anti-bacterial brush cleanser that disinfects brushes to provide a fresh and clean application every time.

I some in the palm of my hand.

Swirled a wet brush in my hand..

Rinsing often at a angle..

30 minutes later...

This is what I had..

I got a ton of my brushes cleaned..

All my Sigma and MAC Brushes..Eco tools brushes...ELF brushes..

I was done for the night after this..

But..

I still have more brushes that needed cleaning..

For another day!

Ok... for the ELF brush cleaner review..

First here is what elf says about this cleaner

....................................................................................

e.l.f. Studio Brush Shampoo

$3.00

for 4.1 fl oz.

Color Brush Shampoo # 85009

An anti-bacterial brush cleanser for thorough cleaning in-between makeup applications. Disinfects brushes to provide a fresh and clean application every time. Washes away traces of dirt, makeup, oil and debris from your brush while conditioning the hair to provide a clean and soft application for every use.

DIRECTIONS INGREDIENTS

Cleanse brush regularly by massaging a small amount of the shampoo with water and working it through the bristle from the base of the brush outward.

Rinse thoroughly and gently squeeze out excess water.

Reshape the bristles and lay flat on a clean cloth to fully dry before next use.

.................................................................................

My thoughts..

When I stumbled across this product at Target, I was very excited! I am always trying out new brush cleaners.  The liquid is more of a gel, and it does very well at clinging to the fibers instead of just falling off into the sink. After only a few seconds of massaging the brush, the water in the sink was filthy! It didn't take long to get all of the makeup out of my brush, and make it look new again! I am very pleased with this product, and will be buying more. I used the entire bottle to clean the brushes in the picture above. I know that sounds like a lot.. But I washed a lot of brushes and many of my foundation and concealer brushes were full of make up. Plus my eye shadow and powder brushes were really dirty too..

If there is anything critical to say about this product.. I would be that it was hard to get out of the bottle.. Especially when your hands are wet. It worked better when taking off the cap and just tapping or squeezing it out onto my hand. I love love to see this in a pump!!

Another elf product that I love.. I just love this brand.!!
