Mac Makeup

Today I took Brooke to the mall & all of a sudden it hit me that I remembered watching some smokey eye makeup videos on You Tube.  I don't normally go looking for makeup tutorials....but when someone subscribes to my channel I go to their channel and thank them for subbing.   And that's how I've happened upon Mac make up videos.

 Brooke wanted to go to the bookstore and since I have my books on my ipad......I had some time to kill.  I decided to venture past the Mac counter .....as usual I was too shy to ask them....but they stopped me.  They were nice but not pushy I felt welcome immediately.  We started with some foundation and moved onto my eyes.  That's something I've always struggled with because they are so big & blue :)
I was amazed at the difference...I should have taken a before and after but I didn't think it would be such a difference... before I show you the picture ....I had it done at 2pm today and the pictures were taken around 7:45pm....so my makeup is over five hours old.....and I bought groceries, unloaded them in the heat, cooked supper...you get the drill.  If I had done all that in my old makeup....it would be gone by now.

Warning......I look like I have bug eyes but I took this picture so Kim could really see the eye shadow :)


Here's one of my whole face :)  Darn, I wish I had put on some lip liner & lipstick!!

I know I need to pluck my eyebrows...I would have if I'd known I was going to the make up counter!!

Here's all the eye makeup I bought.


So, I'll let you know if I'm able to get the look by myself.  She drew me a diagram and made notes for me.


See ya!

p.s. hey Kim....your turn to provide pictures...facebook is okay...just let me see em!!

Hi, Angie, I buy his stuff called Matte Maker by Laura Geller from QVC. When my face gets shiny after a few hours into the day, I apply the matte maker ( with a brush) and it takes the shine away with out taking off the make up. It is the only one thing that I do auto delivery on. I used it at convention in 2008 and I looked fresh during the day. Try it, I'm sure you will love it! Rosa
