Friday face of the Day With Warm, Orangey Bronze Eyes and the MAC Caitlyn Jenner Collection

MAC understanding Lipstick, MAC Caitlyn Jenner collection
So, I’m writing some lists this week, and one of my lists is titled, “Colors for eye looks” and with the #MBBInstaChallenge, which you guys are kicking so much @ss on, this month is all about busting out of my comfort zone!

Right at the top of my list of eye colors that, for various reasons, I don’t reach for that often are orange and warm red, which were huge eyeshadow trends last fall.

With that in mind, I decided to do an orange/warm reddish bronze eye look today with Malibu Bronze Eye shadow from the new MAC Caitlyn Jenner collection, because I think it goes SO well with one of my favorite eyeliners of all time, the otherworldly MAC Teddy, a bewilderingly beautiful shimmery brownish bronze, and if you don’t have Teddy in your life, YOU need TO get IT ASAP.

Today I’m all about Teddy and Malibu Bronze. I used Malibu Bronze on my lids right up to the crease (it’s very pigmented, and it buffs out easily). Then, to transition the color, I actually used a face powder from the collection called Buddy. It’s a warm brown with lots of intense golden pearl (it reminds me a lot of NARS Laguna, but it’s waaaay warmer). I stuck that in my crease to blend out the edges, and I’m also wearing it on my cheeks and across my nose as a bronzer to tie my cheeks in with my eyes.

I experimented with a few different lip looks for this…first with a warm deep red lipstick called Authentic Red, and then added a little golden gloss on top (Kindness Cremesheen).

I thought that was OK…but it seemed like a little too much for what I’ve got going on today (which is nada). better for date night.

Next I tried a nude lip using Whirl Lip Pencil, Rockit Lipstick and Beautifully Bare Cremesheen (which looks like MAC Deelight Cremesheen’s twin sis), but I feel like it looked a little unbalanced…

That’s Whirl Lip Pencil, Rockit Lipstick and Beautifully Bare Cremesheen
Finally, I tried warm, creamy red MAC understanding Lipstick (it’s an online exclusive), and voila! איזון. That’s what I finally went with.

What a sweet movie! I saw someone do a post about it on Facebook, and I’m so happy I clicked “Play.” It was nominated for a golden Globe, I think in the best musical category. I thought it was fantastic!

It’s a cute ’80s coming-of-age story about a teenage boy in Ireland who starts a band with some of his eccentric classmates. very sweet and quaint. If you grew up listening to ’80s music, I bet you’ll like it as much as I did.
