Katrina's Day Look


Cory Walia gives Katrina a perfect pout
Blend a suitable shade of M.A.C Select Moistureblend over your skin in upward strokes on the face and neck. Conceal any dark circles or blemishes under the eyes with M.A.C Select Moisturecover to create beautiful flawless skin. For definition, apply blush (M.A.C Powder Blush in Fleurry) on the cheeks. If you want a very soft look, use a pink (M.A.C Powder Blush in Coygirl) or peach blush (M.A.C Powder Blush in Pinch O' Peach). If you have a slightly darker complexion, go for a soft brown blush (M.A.C Powder Blush in Strada). M.A.C Studio Fix is also very handy in humid weather.

Outline the lower eyelid with soft pink (M.A.C Eye Shadow in Swish) or soft brown eye shadow (M.A.C Eye Shadow in Era). On the top lid, apply a light pink mineralize eye shadow (M.A.C Mineralize Eye Shadow Duo in Engaging) for a subtle sparkle. You can then highlight your browbone with the gold side of the same eye shadow duo.
Try a generous coat of pink (M.A.C Tinted Lipglass in Lust) or light brown lip gloss (M.A.C Tinted Lipglass in Revealing) for a glossy pout.


Indrani's Evening Look

Blend a pearlescent liquid foundation (M.A.C Hyper Real) over your skin in upward strokes on the face and neck. You can then conceal any dark circles under the eyes with a concealer (M.A.C Studio Lights in Smoothspice). Highlight the cheekbones with a plum shaded blush (M.A.C Powder Blush in Breezy).
For the eyes, evenly apply M.A.C Mineralize Eye Shadow Duo in Earthly Riches (plum side) on the upper eyelid. For a more defined look, smudge the corners with the gray side, and finish by drawing a thin line with M.A.C Kohl Power Eye Pencil in Black Karat. Sweep a coat of thick lash mascara (M.A.C Plush Lash Mascara) for a more dramatic look. For the lips, apply M.A.C Prep + Prime Lip, then accentuate with M.A.C Lustreglass in Decorative.
