EOTD: MAC's Bows & Curtseys: green smokey eye

Hello!!

Today I did  a look using Bows & Curtseys eyeshadow from MAC which came out with the Fashion Flower collection not too long ago. It's a blackened green with shimmer, perfect for a smokey eye, so that's what I did! 

Here’s a list of all the products I used and how I used them:

- Urban Decay Primer Potion: all over the lid up to the brow, blended out with my finger.

- MAC Brun: to fill in my brows, with an angled brush (MAC 263).

- MAC Vanilla eyeshadow: as a browbone highlight, applied with a flat shader brush (MAC 239)

- MAC Ricepaper: inner corner highlight, applied with a pencil brush (MAC 219)

- MAC Wedge: applied with a blending brush (MAC 217) right above the crease, as a transition colour between the dark green and the brow highlight.

- MAC Fresh Approach (LE: Makeup Art Cosmetics collection: Photo Realism quad): on the lid and lower lashline, applied with a flat shader brush (MAC 239).

- MAC Bows & Curtseys (LE: Fashion Flower collection): applied in the crease and outer corner with a blending brush (MAC 217) and on the lower lashline with a short bristle shader brush (MAC 214).

- MAC Blacktrack fluidline: lined along the upper lashline, on the lower waterline and smudged between the lashes with a small liner brush (MAC 209).

- Max Factor False Lash Effect mascara: few coats on the top lashes, one coat on bottom lashes.

- False Eyelashes from H&M (no name or number) with Duo lash glue.




For a softer, less dramatic look, just skip the liner and lashes.

Hope you like it and thanks for stopping by!

Hiya!


On July 16th, the Fashion Flower collection was released in Belgium and the Netherlands.

After looking at severals hauls and reviews (which I always do before going into the store), I made a wish list:
- Alpha Girl and Light Sunshine beauty powders
- Budding Beauty lipgelee
- Groundcover and Bows & Curtseys eyeshadows


I really liked  Lucky Green eyeshadow as well, but that's a permanent colour, so I could pick that up at any time in a refill pan.
After checking out and swatching all products in store, I decided to get everything I had on my wishist.




Here are some pictures of my purchases (in daylight):

Groundcover eyeshadow

Light Sunshine beauty powder

Alpha Girl beauty powder

I like the flower pattern on the products, even tho it will eventually wear off. 
I love using Alpha Girl as a blush and Bows & Curtseys as a nice smokey eye colour. 
For better quality pictures and swatches of the entire collection, check out this video from Temptalia (if you haven't noticed already, I love this girl haha, she always makes such helpful reviews!)


Next MAC collection I'm looking forward to: MAC Me Over, launches internationally in the beginning of September.



Thanks for reading!
