Exhausted from the day, I stopped by the shopping center last night before the job runway finale to pick up a few pieces of “comfort chocolate,” as well as I figured that because I was already there, I may also pay a quick go to to the MAC store.
I wasn’t there for long, however I spent every minute of the go to with the MAC holiday collection.

We’re — exactly how shall I put this? — still getting to understand each other. It’s that uncomfortable stage, ya know, where I’m drawn in to the packaging however haven’t rather figured out exactly how I feel about the products yet, in specific the frosty, awesome colors in the sub-collection called shine & Ice.
I told myself, “Don’t be scurrred,” however I couldn’t assist it. Frosty, cool-toned shades like the ones in shine & Ice don’t always play well with my warm undertones. frequently they’ll look ashy on my NC42 skin.
But today, not wanting to provide up without a fight, I chose to channel Tim Gunn as well as “make it work,” so I utilized one of my all-time preferred makeup techniques — pairing a cooler eyeshadow with a warm matte brown in the crease.

The brown’s warmer tones tend to balance out cool, frosty colors, as well as the technique has one much more extremely awesome side effect: whenever I blink or close my eyes, it exposes a quick flash of shimmer (fun!).
How do you understand if you have warm or awesome undertones?
If your skin has a great deal of yellow in it, you most likely have warm undertones (think Jennifer Anniston or Beyonce), however if it includes much more red than yellow, you may lean awesome (a la Courtney Cox or Oprah).
Here’s one more method to tell: take a look at the veins on your inner wrist. If they appear green, then you’re most likely warm toned; if they look blue, then you’re most likely cool. For a much more comprehensive explanation, inspect out this useful publish by my buddy Jen over at BSB.
For these pics, I started by patting shine & Ice’s shimmery champagne paint Pot in morning Frost onto my lids with a finger. Then, I swept MAC brown Script, a warm, matte chestnut brown from the long-term collection, into my crease with the MAC 217 Blending Brush. Next, I used MAC Mineralize Eye shadow in Fresh Ice, a frosty, silvery white, likewise from shine & Ice, onto my lids with the 286SE clean that includes the MAC Make It Perfect/Mineralize clean Kit.
I believe brown script truly mellows out cooler shades that I may otherwise not be able to wear, as well as for that I say, “Goooo brown!”
Additional makeup used in this look: MAC Technakohl liner in Smooth Manoeuvre on upper lash lines as well as Chanel Inimitable Mascara on upper as well as lower lashes; Chanel Tweed increased on cheeks as well as MAC; Chanel Les Tissages de Chanel in Tweed increased on cheeks; as well as the MAC Iced Delights Lip Bag/Sultry on lips
