Makeover Magic : Feat. Jhanelle


I've mentioned this before but I love these kinds of posts. Taking the time to do someone's makeup is always fun, the conversations the two of you engage in as you work, the inspiration that comes with working on a new face, the laughs, the mistakes, I love it all! 

Before :)

The beautiful model is one of my best friends, Jhanelle. She is naturally stunning so it was all fun working with her. We opted for a classic grey/black smokey eye that was inspired by Jessica Alba.

What do you guys think? I would love to hear some feedback :)

My Top 10 MAC Eyeshadows

I told a bit of a fib in the title. 9 are MAC the other one is NARS but it can easily be duplicated with a MAC eyeshadow. I'm a neutral shadow lover, but will wear color every now and then to liven things up. Below are the chosen ones :)

Shadows are swatched in same order as list below.

Nars: FEZ (Similar to MAC Bronze)
>Fez, like most NARS shadows is beyond amazing for pigmentation, smooth, soft and blendable. This color is a brown-bronze that looks great as a lid color paired with carbon in the crease for a bronze smokey eye.

Saddle - Matte
 >Golden tan color, great for all over the lid in a neutral everyday look. But works best as a transition color (between the crease color and highlight color) for my skin tone .

Glamour Check! (LE) - Starflash (Similar to MAC Antiqued)
 > Reddish/Ash brown shadow with pearl. Works well with most neutral shadows.

Folie - Satin
> Reddish brown but much lighter than Embark and much more red. Great for adding warm tones to the crease for any eye look.

Smut - Velvet
>Black/Grey with red/purple undertones. Looks great all over the lid for instant smokey/sultry eyes. Or in the crease to darken up another shadow

Woodwinked - Veluxe Pearl
> Warm gold color, a go-to shadow for WOC. Looks great paired with Embark.

Club - Satin
>Possibly MAC's most unique shadow. It appears a reddish brown but gives of a green sheen. When placed on a black base gives of a green/brown pearl finish. A MUST-HAVE in my opinion.

Embark - Matte
> Reddish brown shadow, I use this to fill in my brows & contour. Its very versatile & great to darken up the crease for a daytime smokey eye.

Deep Truth - Frost
>Dark blue, that really works to it's full potential with a black or navy eyeshadow base.

Carbon - Matte
>Black shadow, perfect for smokey eyes, or as liner. I use this ALOT, as you can see from the picture.
