tempting

i discovered recently that i did infact own mac tempting eyeshadow. i love this colour, i love it when i see it on other people and also when at the mac counter i am always drawn to it, however i always seem to forget that i actually have it. i decided to make use of it for last night's make-up, and this is what i came up with.

i started by applying a base of urban decay primer potion. then i patted mac tempting all over my lid with a flat shader brush. i took mac vanilla, a matte highlight shade and took this under my eyebrows and in the inner corners of my eyes, around my tear ducts. i then selected urban decay darkhorse (naked palette) and applied this to the outer thirds of my lids. i then blended this into the tempting. i took mac typographic on a pencil brush and used this to deepen the outer v, to create dimension. i felt i hadn't brightened my tear duct enough, so i took urban decay virgin (naked palette) on the tear duct area, over vanilla. using a clean pencil brush, i took a mix of mac tempting and ud darkhorse along my lower lash line. to finish, i used a black gel liner on an angled brush and winged it out slightly at the ends. i also applied the liner to my waterline. i then put on some mascara, followed by false eyelashes. i chose eldora H125. 

for the rest of my face, i wanted to keep it quite plain. i used giorgio armani luminous silk in 6.5 all over, and concealed blemishes and my undereye circles with mac pro longwear concealer in nc30. to set this, i used chanel loose powder in 30 naturel. i added some warmth to my skin with nars laguna bronzer, which i applied to my temples and cheekbones. i added a tiny amount of the model co blusher in 03 to my cheeks which is a super natural flushed colour, then used an eyeshadow from MUA to highlight the tops of my cheeks. i put on a small amount of mac pro longwear lipglass in infinitetly likable to finish, a perfect baby pink.
