MAC Fibre Rich Lash Mascara: Are Sweet Dreams Made of This?


The great Annie Lennox once said, “Sweet dreams are made of this.”
Coincidentally, that’s also how I hoped I’d feel about Mac Lash mascara ( available in one shade called All Black).
The product promises extreme volume and density, effortless extension and a smudge-resistant, creamy formula.
Just thinking about all of those things together makes my tummy rumble (like it does for Nutella and Ryan Reynolds)…

MAC Fibre Rich lives on counters as part of the MAC permanent line. Its black tube looks sleek and minimalist, concealing a compact brush head with a combination of long and short bristles designed to magnify and separate lashes.
Well, it makes a wonderful first third impression…
The creamy formula feels lighter than air (no crispy, heavy lashes here), the black applies nice and dark, but here’s the thing — you know the saying, “Patience is a virtue”?
Fibre Lash takes it to heart.
Even though there’s no mistaking the length it lends to lashes, with a staggered, wispy look that reminds me of MAC’s falsies, it takes at least three

Luckily, it’s easily to build in layers because it doesn’t dry so fast that I feel like I have to hurry between coats. The smooth, non-clumping or bumpy formula leaves a lot of leeway to lay down several layers at leisure.
Toward the end of the day, it starts to smudge a tad, but that’s probably offset by the fact that it’s quite easy to remove. A cleanser and water — no separate eye makeup remover required — easily does the deed.

Lady Gaga's Second Mac Campaign

Lady Gaga will front the 2011 campaign for make-up brand MAC Viva Glam, the second time she has represented them.
 
Lady Gaga is to front her second campaign for MAC's Viva Glam.
The 24-year-old singer - who starred in her first set of adverts for the brand with Cyndi Lauper - is returning to the make-up company for 2011.
The campaign has already been shot by Nick Knight and styled by Thierry Mugler head and Gaga's personal friend Nicola Formichetti.
Proceeds from the campaign benefit the MAC AIDS fund, a cause which Gaga is personally involved with.
Speaking earlier this year, she said: "We want to make this trendy and fun. Sex education should be bright and vibrant and every woman should want to have this in her purse."
The eccentric star is a huge make-up fan, and recently revealed she "hyperventilated" when photographer Steven Klein asked her to go without it on the set of video 'Alejandro'.
She said: "We are both very strong-willed and we both have very specific visions. And I knew his specific vision and he knew mine so that it was like tugging at a rope together. And then we tied a beautiful knot! I wanted to bring him out of his comfort zone and he wanted to bring me out of mine.
"He was stripping me down, taking off all my make-up, no eyelashes, no liner, saying, 'I'm cutting all of your hair off' and not tanned ... For me, I was hyperventilating, but it did force me to be myself."

How to Apply False Eyelashes

1. The first step and maybe the most important one when applying false eyelashes is to start with clean eye lids. The adhesive (glue ) will not stick to oil so be sure to use an oil-free eye makeup remover. Be sure not to use any oil-based makeup near your  eyes.

2. The next step in applying false eyelashes is to choose a color and a length. For a natural look, stick with a color that matches your own shade of lashes. Blondes and light color haired gals can go with a light brown color, but all other gals should use dark brown or black. For a glamorous evening look everyone can go with black. Most false eyelashes will need to be trimmed, as the lashes are too long for most women. Be sure to trim just a little at a time. Then test run them by holding them on your eyelid and seeing how well they fit across your lid. You will probably have to trim the length as well. Be sure to curve them across your lid. Take off one or two lashes at a time to get just the right fit. Be sure they don’t extend past your eyelid as this will be very uncomfortable. Do all your trimming before applying the adhesive. Sharp scissors will do the trick. You can try Maybelline’s Expert Eyes lashes in Black Demi-Wisp (available at drugstores for $7.00).
3. Third step in applying false eyelashes is to add adhesive to the false eyelashes. Celebrity makeup artist Nicole Bryl recommends applying them with a dark lash glue. The dark glue helps define the lash line. Don’t use too much. Putting some on paper and using a toothpick can help. Let the adhesive become tacky, (this only takes about a minute), before applying the false eyelashes to your own eyelash line. Remember to never put the false eyelash adhesive directly on your own eyelid. The adhesive is meant only to be applied to the false eyelash itself. You certainly don’t want glue in your eye, and your certainly don’t want to glue your eye shut either!
4. While looking in the mirror, start applying your false eyelashes at the inside corner, press and hold the false eyelashes as close to your own lash line as possible If you feel your fingers are too big for this step you can use tweezers. Be very careful not to poke yourself in the eye.
5. If you’re using individual lashes or clumps, start at the outside and work toward the inner eye. You will only need a couple of individual lashes or clumps to achieve a natural look.
6. After apply the false eyelashes and letting them dry, take an eyelash curler and gently curl your new false eyelashes along with you own lashes
7. To unify the look of your new lashes apply liquid eyeliner over both. No mascara needed.
8. When you want to remove the false eyelashes, be gentle. Because your eye lids are so sensitive don’t pull your false eyelashes off without the use of eye makeup remover. Let the remover soak in for a couple of minutes. The oil will loosen the strip.
9. To use your false eyelashes again, clean them according to the manufacture’s directions. Be sure to pull off any remaining glue. Let them dry completely before putting them.
Wearing false eyelashes only on special occasions will keep your eyes from developing an infection or an irritation from the adhesive. Remember, practice makes perfect. Learning how to apply false eyelashes and correctly applying them can lift your spirits and make you feel like a celebrity!

Eyes: How to Choose Eyeshadow Color?

ColorOn... Professional Eyeshadow, The Raging Rouge Beauty Blog:  Product Reviews Written By A Makeup Addict
Eyes are considered to be jewels of our body. It feels really good to polish them with an eyeshadow but do you sometimes wonder why a certain eyeshadow is not looking good on you? Maybe because the color that you have chosen is just not right. People make this mistake often by using the same color eyeshadow as their clothes. You can choose a color to compliment that with the color of your clothes but never match it entirely. Remember that the colors which suit others might not necessarily suit you. Eyeshadow colors should be chosen on these 3 criteria:   
1. Eye Color
2. Skin Tone
3. Hair Color

Eye Color

Contrary to the belief, you should never match your eyeshadow with the color of your eyes. For example, blue eyeshadow on blue eyes will just make it look dull. This does not mean blue-eyed color people should not use blue eyeshadow. They can use it as long as they blend in other complimentary colors to make it more vibrant or neutral. Also make sure not to put the exact same eyeshadow shade as your eyes on the area of the lid right above your iris. Try to apply that color either on your crease or outer corner. The general rules for choosing eyeshadow for different eye colors are-
Brown & Hazel eyes- Brown eyed people are pretty lucky in this regard as they can experiment with the most number of colors. From amber, slate grey, charcoal, copper to lavender, violet all suit brown eyes. Even eyeshadow shades like khaki, olive, dark brown and yellow shades like gold work well with brown eyes.
Blue eyes– Pink, orange, peach, purple, coral, wine, gray, black undertones tend to emphasize blue eyes more. Also silver eyeshadow works really well with blue eyes unlike with brown eyes. Avoid any eyeshadow with blue-green undertones.
Green eyes- Eye shadow with red undertones like burgundy, maroon and colors like apricot, peach, plum, gray pops out and compliments the green of the eyes more than any other colors.
color wheel Eyes: How to Choose Eyeshadow Color
This wheel will give you a fair idea of what color you should opt for. Basically find out your eye color in this wheel and just see the color placed on the exact opposite of that color. For example right opposite green is placed different shades of plum and magenta which is what suits green eyes more as mentioned.

Skin Tone

Skin tones are usually categorized into warm skin tone & cool skin tone. Most Asians fall into the warmer skin tone category. Warmer skin tones have yellow or golden undertones whereas cool skin tones have blue or pink undertones.If you have warm skin, try colors like bronze, ivory, taupe, light brown, pink, soft green, and coral. If you have cool skin tones you should experiment more with silver, pale blue, lilac, teal, dark green, turquoise, and gray .

Hair Color

Black/Brown– Again brunettes have an advantage as most of the eyeshadow colors suit them. From dark colors like black, browns, purples to neutrals like gold, beige to lighter shades of green, yellow all work well with brunettes.
Blonde– Blondes usually have a fair skin tone so only few shades of pinks, grays, black, gold, blue, and greens suit them
Red – Few shades of pink, black, gold, green (especially olive) suit redheads better than others due to the intensity of their hair color.
Don’t limit your creativity to only the colors listed. These are no strict rules to follow but if you are an eye makeup beginner these guidelines will help you choose and decide which colors will suit you more than others.

Beauty Test Drive: Dior Holiday Collection Eyeshadow Quad

I’m not the type of woman who spends her money on one high-quality product — no, I’m a lots-of-little-cheaper-things, Forever 21-type of shopper. But when it comes to spending a little more money on much better quality makeup, Dior‘s Holiday Collection Makeup Palette For The Eyes will convert me. At $44, it’s a little pricey. But as a devoted smoky eye fan, it is hands-down the best smoky-eye color palette, as well as the highest quality eyeshadow, I’ve ever used.
The color palette is richly pigmented and gorgeous: a radiant midnight blue, gunmetal silver, a shimmery taupe, and white highlighter. (This color palette is exclusive to Sephora, who sent me the palette for review. But if these specific colors don’t suit you, the newly launched Dior.com sells another version of the eyeshadow quad with slightly different, pinkish colors.) I’ve used one side of an eyeshadow brush to sweep the taupe across my lids and the other side to sweep the white highlighter under my browbone. Then I take the pointier end of the Dior makeup brush included in the kit and draw little V-s around the inner rims of my eyes — this really makes them pop! I then take a smudge brush and pat the gunmetal silver into the folds of my eyelid, generally in a crescent shape. Lastly, I dip a flat eye liner brush into the radiant blue shadow and drag it along my upper lash line. (I’ll usually dust off the smudge brush and blend everything together, too, just in case it looks too stripey.)
The result? The loveliest, most eye-popping smoky eyes I’ve ever worn. Seriously, I get compliments on my eye makeup every time I use this palette. I think it’s not only the four-color medley — ahem, anyone remember trying to do your first smoky eyes in high school with just black eyeshadow and looking like a raccoon? — but the quality of the shadow. Most eyeshadows I wear, even in high-quality brands like NARS, are so powdery that the pigments end up all over my cheekbones by mid-afternoon. But these Dior shadows are downright silky, blend right into my eyes and stay there. I’ve slept in smoky eyes three or four times since getting this palette (sorry, I know that’s a skincare no-no) and the makeup stays pretty much intact.
For what it’s worth, the small blue case this quad comes in appears to be of sturdy quality as well. I’ve carried it around in my purse for a few weeks and it hasn’t crushed or bent.  I am the queen of breaking makeup compacts (especially the ones made by MAC, for some reason) so it’s definitely a plus for me that this goober is still in one piece!
Unfortunately, this palette is a limited edition from Dior just for the holidays — so act quickly, ladies. I guess I’ll just have to figure out what to do when the colors run out!
