EOTD (Eye Of The Day): MAC Rare Find

Here’s a look I did with MAC’s Rare Find mineralized eyeshadow from the Semi Precious collection. I’m actually really glad I picked this up cause it’s so pretty. It looks even better in real life than it does on the picture.





















These are 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 eyeshadow: 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) and  inner corner highlight with a pencil brush (MAC 219).

- MAC Rare Find mineralized eyeshadow: all over the lid, applied with a damp flat shader brush (MAC 239, I used Fix + to wet my brush, but you could also use water) and used dry to blend it out just above the crease with a fluffier brush ( MAC 217).
Also applied wet on the lower lashline with a short bristle shader brush (MAC 214)

- Urban Decay 24/7 eyeliner in Zero: on top and bottom waterline and smudged between the lashes.

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

- False Eyelashes from Claire’s (no name or number) with Duo lash glue.




I love the shimmer in this eyeshadow and I think it looks great on its own!
You could make this look a little darker and more smokey by adding some black on the outer corner.
Thanks for stopping by!

Haul: MAC Semi Precious

Hello folks!


Hello!

Last saturday the new MAC collection came out in Belgium: Semi Precious. After watching Temptalia's video review, I wanted to check out mainly the MSF's and the blushes. The eyeshadows did look really nice in the pans, but wasn't impressed by the swatches. 
At the store I swatched the MSF's and blushes and I decided to pick up Semi Precious Pearl MSF and Warmth Of Coral blush. I liked the other two blushes too, but have similar colours in my stash. Same for the other MSF. I chose the Pearl one cause I can use the outside as a highlight, and the inside as a blush.
From all the eyeshadows, Rare Find was my favorite after watching the review. I swatched it at the store and decide to pick it up anyway cause it was alot more pigmented than I expected it to be. I've done a look with it and I love it! (I'll do a post on it)
I also picked up the 234 brush cause I love the 217 and it looked really interesting. I've used it for concealer a couple of times and I like it. Not a must have brush though in my opinion. 

Here are some pictures:
