Idol Eyes

Idol Eyes was the very first mac eye shadow I ever bought.  It is a silvery lilac with tons of glitter and shimmer- I love to pair it with purple.  This was a quickie look I put together the other morning when I slept in a bit later than I should have.  I think I would have preferred this with a smokey matte shadow as a liner in place of the usual black wing that I did. :)

I used:
Bare Necessity Indelible cream shadow as base
Aromaleigh Slate applied in crease as lid contour/blender color
MUFE #92 applied to lashlines with 219 and winged out (kinda like eye liner), then blended out
MAC Idol Eyes patted all over lid
NYX Barely There as highlight
Ben Nye Black cake liner
Cover Girl Lashblast mascara- Very Black

Lips are NYX black Label in India, with NYX gloss in beige

Cheeks are Benefit Coralista





These lips did not look streaky IRL, dunno why they do here ... I actually love this lip combo :)  NYX Beige gloss is not beige at all, but actually the perfect light pink.

Thanks for looking!

    Wow! Is Idol Eyes a duochrome color?

    Hi Dominique, idol eyes is a silvery lilac and layers really well with other colors because it is semi-sheer. I like it a lot :) :)

    Beige is so pretty! I love pink toned nudes, they work great on me and on many others! I love this look, the purple and hint of gold work amazingly well together! Something I definitely have to try as soon as I get my hands on a matte purple!

    Marce, thanks! There is no other matte purple as gorgeous as MUFE #92. Its amazing. I am also really impressed by the quality of the NYX gloss too.
