MAC Palette transformation





So I was looking at the Z-Palettes on their website and I really wanted to get one because I bought a MAC blush in pan form but i don't have a palette for it...And also just in case I get more things in pan form in the future. But I found out that shipping was $11 I was just like... it's not worth it to pay thirsty something bucks for an empty palette... So I was looking at Enkore's hand made palettes, they look so interesting and nice but too much work =_=" Well maybe if I know where to get all the supplies then I'd try to make one... :)
Anyway then I remmeber seeing people using their mac palettes without the pan holder, which only fits 15 shadows. So I tried taking out the pan holder but kinda failed =_= I broke the top two corners so it's pretty ugly now.. Don't know how it will look if I put it back but I don't wanna try, I probably won't anyway. haha.. So this is how it looks after I took it out. You just lift it up from the front part and use something to lift up the pan holder. It has 5/6 clips so just kind of wiggle it out. I guess I wasnt careful enough @_@ oh well whatever :)
I can fit one more blush in there I think. If you only put MAC shadows in there it can fit up to like 26 shadows.
That blush at the corner is "Pinch O' Peach" , I kinda regret buying it because the color pay off isn't that great compared to "Melba".. well I guess it's kind of like Well Dressed. Some mac blushes are good and some are just so-so .. o well. Of course NARS and Bobbi Brown are way better :)

How to make your gel liner smudge-proof! [Tight lining]


Tight lining , don't mind my veins haah, didn't wear foundation


MAC Fluidline "Blacktrack" & Urban Decay Primer Potion

Body Shop "Slanted" brush
AMAZING, its soo thin and the hairs don't flare out, excellent to apply thin eyeliner, easy application

Bottom: Quo "Angled eyeliner brush"
Amazing as well, hair stays together and allow precise application. It's bent so that even if you want to apply your eyeliner after mascara, it won't get in your way :) It's just easier in general.
  • My face gets extremely oily and I have to apply powder/use blotting paper every couple hours. Even my eyes lids get oily. If I apply eyeshadow without the UD primer potion, it'd crease within an hour, well maybe a little over an hour. haha.
  • So I was planning to get the make up forever cream liner because I heard it's more waterproof than the MAC fluidline and Bobbi Brown gel liner. The MAC fluidline doesnt smudge that much on me if I don't apply it on my waterline, but it's still not that waterproof, I guess I'm just too oily. Anyway, so this is what I tried today and it worked:
1) Use the QUO slanted brush to apply some UD primer protion along upper lash line
2) Pick up some MAC fluid line with the Body Shop brush, lift up your lid and press the product along upper lashes, as close as possible, this is what the brush is really good for
I know I'm not exactly putting it on the waterline but the reason why I do this is just to fill out the gaps in between my lashes, making them appear fuller. I like to do this when I'm only wearing mascara on the eyes. This works for me so hopefully this helps someone out there :)
