I bought the MAC
Paint Pot in Rubenesque at a CCO (does that stand
for cosmetic company outlet?) in Las Vegas and flashbacks of watching Miss
Glamorazzi beauty video’s back in the day resurfaced and made me drop
it into my cart. It’s a warm peachy shade with lots of fine golden shimmer that
doesn’t apply as smooth as my Painterly Paint Pot, but it’s of a
smoother quality than the other shimmery Paint Pots I own so I will give it a
star for that. It can turn a bit of an unpleasant orange on me if I layer it up
too much thanks to my pale skin, so for this look I’ve left it light and then
went back in with my MAC powder shadow in Retrospeck.

I acquired Retrospeck in the Royal Assets : Warm Eyes palette from a blog sale and
it’s something that I have loved from day one. It’s a bit too ‘blonde’ and golden for me at times but I still wear it
often (that’s love, right?) and when it hits Rubenesque magic happens
and it creates a gorgeous eye look that I can’t get enough of.
What is your
favourite eye combination? What MAC Paint Pot do you swear by?

Amen to the old MissGlamorazzi videos! I wanted that Summer Haze eyeshadow she loved so bad...
ReplyDeleteI love the L'Oreal Infallible eyeshadow in Tender Caramel for a bit of purplish taupe sparkle, and eye crayons like Rimmel's Bad Girl Bronze and MaxFactor's Caramel Rage Wild Shadow Pencil on the lower lashline for subtle definition! I play it super safe with eye makeup though- on my eyes it's only ever liner on and mascara on the top lashline and something pretty and sparkly on the bottom.
Her videos inspire many a craving for beauty products, don't they?! Do you still watch her stuff?
DeleteI have Tender Caramel floating around somewhere, will have to pull it out for a whip around again.
MAC Rubenesque is gorgeous! And I've never paid attention to it before! ��

It's so pretty! I love most of the Paint Pots, I find the formula differs between shades but they have such great options :)
DeleteOh how pretty! I've heard of this paint pot before and I would LOVE to own Rubenesque! A great pretty natural pairing! I love pairing maybelline's bad to the bronze with most shimmery browns! I don't have any particular shades I love more!
ReplyDeleteIt would look amazing on you, because I'm so pale I can get away with it quite light but find it harder to work with once it's built up. I've gotten back into wearing Bad to the Bronze and adore the heck outta it!
DeleteSuch a pretty combo! Very day-time appropriate, Rubenesque would look amazing paired with an amber!

I'm finding it so easy to wear :) I should definitely try it with an amber shade next, great idea!
DeleteLove the peachy paint pot - would probably look lovely as a highlighter on warmer, deeper skin tones :)

I think you're right, it would be a great highlight shade!
DeleteRetrospeck is SO AMAZING!! Need to get that one for sure next time Im in Helsinki :)
ReplyDeleteI have yet to try a paint pot from MAC, debating which one I should get :)

it really is just so beautiful :) Painterly is a great first paint pot if you're wanting to use it as an eyeshadow base and primer?
DeleteI'm currently really loving MAC Tan Pigment just swept all over the lid. I only have a sample but I can see it lasting me for ages!

The pigments last so long don't they, even a sample is heaps! You've reminded me that I have Melon pigment that I should be using
