Winter Necessities

Hey Everyone!       I am in the Christmas spirit. Yes, I know, Thanksgiving just ended, but I am a total Christmas addict! I love seeing the first snowfall, decorating the tree, and editing my beauty routine. Instead of going toward the cooler color palette, I decided to incorporate some warmer tones. Keep reading to see my favorites! I love Rubenesque because it works for a base or by itself. This is also picture friendly; it makes your eyes stand out without it looking like there is a disco ball on your eyelids. The reason Paint Pots are so popular from MAC is mainly because they are technically a cream to powder product; they apply as a base for the shadows and then dry down to a powder to lock in the colors.

The Perfect Powder Brush?

Hey Everyone!      If you have seen any of my previous posts, you know I am a huge fan of MAC brushes. I use the numbers for references in posts, and they work out perfectly. The only brush that I have been trying to find is an all over powder brush. The natural materials MAC brushes are composed with pick up a lot of the product, but I was interested in a lighter dusting option. A fan brush was too light, but the 189 made the application too heavy. After cleaning out my closet, I discovered the long lost set of ELF brushes! Check out my reviews to see why these are my new go-to powder brushes. Okay, I admit, this is a blush brush. I always turn into an angry bird when my concealer creases, but I always end up layering too...

Fall Favorites

Hello Readers! I am so sorry I have been absent from Forever Fuchsia, but I promise that this week I will try and post every day! So, back to the subject, fall is finally here, and with it my list of fall favorites! So let’s get started! First off is Mac’s matte blush Melba.  This is my favorite blush for a dance or a night out, and it is versatile. If you apply it with a brush just one layer, it can be sheer and natural, but with many layers it can easily look more pigmented.  This is perfect for a school dance or a night out. Wear a thin layer to add a bit of color to your face. My favorite brush to use to apply this blush is Mac’s 129 brush because it is round, so it is easier to apply blush. I love Mac’s brushes because...

Rose Gold Eyes ft. Winged Liner

Hey Everyone!       I am finally back! I have been looking everywhere for my missing MAC pigment. I wanted to create a look with it, but it was gone! I ended up finding it in one of the drawers, so thankfully my collection is back to normal. Sigh. Anyways, I wanted to try an eye look that could go from day to night, and could be created in a couple minutes. Impossible, right? I think I have figured out something that can come together and can be as dramatic as needed. Keep reading to find out how! I first started off by priming and brightening my eye lids. Whenever I layer darker shadows, I light to start with a lighter canvas. If you are out of primer or you don’t use one, concealer can work too. Apply this...

Falling Leaves

Hey Everyone! I am so excited to finally get up a fall tutorial! I have been messing around with so many looks for Halloween, I still have not done a fall look. Hopefully this makes up for the absent tutorials, and let's get started!  I wanted to start by priming my eyes with Urban Decay's primer potion. This makes your shadows more opaque and also helps them last all day. I applied this with a MAC 242 brush, from my upper lash line to my brow bone. I wanted to start adding defining my eyes, so I applied MAC's Gold Carbon Metal X cream eyeshadow to my crease. This is a very sheer product, I wanted to add a natural layer of depth before I started layering on the shadows. I love the NARS Multiples. They are extremely pigmented,...

MAC Pro Products!

Hey Everyone!      I am so excited about MAC's latest release of the Pro collection. MAC is focused on their incredible color range; they vary from matte to shimmer finishes and come in every shade imaginable. MAC Pro is for the professional makeup artists. The line used to be available on the exclusive MAC Pro website; you had to have a card to purchase the products. Now, they have finally released it to the public. See my Pro must haves in the following list.  Sour Lemon is the prime example of why MAC was hesitant to release their pro line. You might not wear a bright lime green every day, but if you love color, this is the perfect one. This would be stunning with Vibrant Grape in the crease, it really makes a...
