Yesterday I’ve been in my Mac Store because I had empties for Back 2 Mac and I needed something to use as contouring.

 

Lipsticks (God save B2M).

First I wanted a red. “The” red. I was unsure between Russian Red and Ruby Woo, classic story. I was worried about Ruby Woo because tester was soooo dry and hard. But my mua said that it was only the tester open to air: the product would be better. Obviously it is not smooth or soft: it has Retro Matte finish, so it’s extremely opaque ane dense, it is what I wanted. It requires precision and you have to work it. Colour is stunning: extremely cool bright red and it goes well with my fair neutral cool complexion. So much more than Russian Red: on me it seems too warm.

Then I was lucky enough to find Heroine, from Reel Sexy collection. It’s an unusual colour, indeed, but it’s not odd: it suits me very well, I’m so glad I could find it!

I really love Mac Mattes: next purchases will be Pink Plaid and Please me.

(The magic world of) Contouring.

I’m experimenting. I really like an only contoured look: it is so sophisticated and classy. I don’t want to look tan or bronzed, I want to look sculpted and defined. I was using Nars Douceur but I wanted something pro. I was wondering about Sculpt pro powder but mua said that for me it’d be too dark. She gave me blush Strada and it’s simply perfect: it’s identical to natural shadows on my face. With Strada my contouring is so easy, natural and perfect. I really look a lot better.

 

Eyebrows (take care of them).

I previously bought Strut eyebrows because I have brown-reddish hair but I find it a bit unnatural. Mua said that on extremely fair skin is a lot better a cool brown and she was right: I picked up Spiked and used with a light hand is a lot more natural.

 

Foundation (an old love).

It’s a lot years that use only mineral foundation and recently bb creams. But now I’m curious to try some new traditional foundation for next winter. I had samples of Studio Fix Fluid and Studio Scuplt, both in nc15 (nw15 is too orange and dark). Studio Fix is more yellow and dark than Sculpt.
