Colour Blocking with MAC and Illamasqua

As you know colour blocking is big this year, and that includes for makeup. Yesterday I tried my hand at colour blocking my makeup.

KEY PRODUCTS USED


EYES
With colour blocking, the trick is to use only one colour. This isn't the look where you define the crease with a darker shade. It's all about block colours. Here's what I used.
  • MAC Double Feature 3 (teal shade only) - entire lid up past the crease and lower lashline
  • MAC Phloof (off white) - inner corner
  • Jordana Black Eyeliner
  • BYS White Eyeliner - inner rims of eyes
  • Cover Girl Lashblast Mascara in Black

LIPS
MAC Lipstick in Pink Nouveau


CHEEKS
Illamasqua Blush in Lover - I was tempted to use a pink blush but I thought the overall look might be too cool toned, so I warmed up my cheeks a little with this apricot blush.

And here's the final look. You'll have to excuse the undone hair, I was trying to give it a break from daily styling! Plus it was a windy day, and excuses excuses excuses, ignore the hair, look at the makeup.

FACE
Illamasqua Skin Base foundation #8
Illamasqua Powder in PF150
Benefit Hoola to contour


Have you colour blocked your makeup?

  20. This is a cute look. I use to always wear color on the eyes, but never felt comfortable wearing color on both eyes/lips. You look great, though and pull it off well!

  23. Thanks you so much for your comments ladies, colour blocking makeup is not as scary as you'd think, although I was a bit hesitant leaving the house like that initially thinking everyone would think I had clown makeup on. LOL

    Saumya - noted, I'll make sure to show that necklace in a full pic one day :-)
