As you all know from my Twitter, I’ve been looking forward to use my M.A.C Russian Red lipstick again. I know, I know, it seems like this week is a MAC week. Well, can’t be helped, I’m trying to fall in love with MAC again! Afterall, MAC was one of the reasons why I went into makeup in the first place.

So, talking about MAC Russian Red, this is the best true-red lipstick. If you want a cooler red, you can try MAC Ruby Woo instead. I also love how this lipstick has a matte finish to it. I’m not a big fan of shiny or glossy lips, so I love how even though this lipstick has a matte finish, it is not drying. It also helps if you prep your lips before application to ensure your lips aren’t chapped.

I purchased this Chanel quads in Intuition in February and didn’t have the chance to play with it, so I had to use it for this look. I love how soft and pretty the eyes look. If you are looking for a neutral, day makeup, do try the eye-look and you can skip the red lipstick.

I’ve done a similar look in Battle of the Classics.

How-to:

1. Using a flat eyeshadow brush, I applied the gold eyeshadow from the Chanel Intuition quad.

2. Using a fluffy blending brush, I applied the deep brown shade from the same quad on my outer V and on the crease. I used whatever was left on the brush and swept it along the lower lash line.

3. I blended out the crease using a clean fluffy brush.

4. Using an angled eyeliner brush, I created a winged liner along the upper lashline.

5. I applied MAC Chromagraphic liner in NC30 on my tightline.

6. Using a small flat shader brush, I applied the pink highlighter shade from Chanel Intuition quad on the inner corner of the lower lid and under the brow.

7. I curled my lashes and applied Maybelline Volume Express mascara on both upper and lower lashes.

8. I filled my brows in using MUFE Aqua Brow Gel.

9. For extra drama, I applied Quo false eyelashes.

10. For the face, I applied MUFE HD Foundation using a foundation brush.

11. Using whatever was left on the brush, I swept it across my lips.

12. I lined and filled my lips using MAC Redd lip pencil.

13. Using a lip brush, I applied MAC Russian Red on my lips.

14. I powdered my face using a loose translucent powder.

15. I contoured my face using MAC Shadowy and applied MAC Fleur Power on the cheeks as blush.

I wanted to do a pretty makeup, something that will be good for brides, or prom goers, or just for anyone who wants an extra something something..bahahahaha..anyways! I love how it ended up and I think this look is perfect for brides, if they don’t want anything too smoky.

Anyways, I love how I’ve been using UD Naked palette more lately. I think I might do more tutorials using the Naked and Naked 2 palettes. Also, how do you like my brows? I managed to fix it today. Lately, I’ve played around with the MUFE Aqua Brow gel and I have to say, I’m loving it! More on that later on during the week.

How-to:

1. I applied UD Sin eyeshadow all over the lid using a flat eyeshadow brush.

2. On the crease, I applied UD Buck eyeshadow using a small blending brush.

3. Using the same brush, I applied MAC Brun on the outer V.

4. I clean the edge of the crease using a clean blending brush.

5. Using a small shader brush, I applied Sin on the inner corner of the lower lid and MAC Brun on the outer corner.

6. I created a winged liner along the upper lashline using MUFE Aqua Black gel liner and an angled eyeliner brush.

7. I lined my waterline using L’oreal Voluminous Smoldering eyeliner.

8. For my lashes, I applied MUFE Smoky Lash mascara on both top and lower lashes.

9. I filled my brows in using MUFE Aqua Brow.

10. For the face, I applied UD Naked foundation using a foundation brush.

11. Under the eyes, I applied MAC Pro Conceal/Correct concealer in Medium.

12. I applied MAC Shadowy as a light contour and then MAC Cubic on my cheeks as blush.

13. For the lips, I filled it in using MAC Dervish lipliner.
