Phloof & Satin Taupe

next
Birthday burgers and a fun collaboration

Every once in awhile I like to switch things up with my eye makeup. My sister wears lighter eye makeup than me, and I wanted to try her technique on my eyes. 
*for my daily makeup routine, click here (although a few products have changed)

Since I already had the same products, all I had to do was change where I put them!

Normally I wear Satin Taupe across my lids, Brun in the outer corners, and a little bit of Phloof in the inner corners.

For this look, I wore Phloof all the way across my lids, and higher above my crease, and Satin Taupe in the outer corners. It’s incredible what a difference I think it makes when I don’t wear the darker Brun color.
(all of the eyeshadows I am taking about are Mac)





Pardon the awkward photos. Its hard to show eye makeup without looking asleep. 

It’s good to have a variety of shadows that all work together, so you can make quick changes that feel like a different look without buying new colors.

Satin Taupe is one of my top favorite MAC colors. It is also really pretty paired with Copperplate on the outer corners and Vex on the lid 🙂

Nice !
I’m a huge fan of Bobbi Brown & Laura Mercier eyeshadows – but I foresee a visit to a Mac Counter to check some of these shadows out : )

Bare Essentials has an eyeshadow called Queen Tiffany that would look fabulous on you Kate. We have the same coloring & I find I get many compliments when I wear it. It is not a neutral shade as the look you have going here,but more of an outer corner of the eye accent shade. It would be a nice addition to the look that you typically wear. 😉

Your make up looks pretty! I tend to gravitate towards those colors as well. Since I am blonde and blue eyed, I have to add a little something extra on the outer part of my lids. It definitely helps to open the eye up!

Great tutorial.

I love this look on you! It really does look great. I’m all about lighter colors as well. I don’t want to bring my eyes down too much since they’re really bright blue (most of the time)!

Besides loving your makeup look, I LOVED your nail polish color! What is it Kate?

I LOVE MAC products! I would also love to know what lipstick you are wearing! But I wanted to see if you could do a hairstyle tutorial somehow of how to style your hair like Kaley Cuoco in The Big Bang Theory’s “The Werewolf Transformation” Episode. So pretty! I love your blog!

Satin taupe is probably my favorite MAC eyeshadow. It’s like a magic color or something.

So pretty! I’m also curious of your lip color! Such a pretty pink 😉

Rachel says · 06.29.12

Love this look! I usually stick to Clinique eyeshadows (Copper Penny is my go to color…and the Beach Plum duo when I want to dress it up a bit!) but I’m definitely going to have to head toward the MAC counter next time. A friend of mine recommended MAC’s Naked Lunch and Tempting which I will have to get eventually, but I think I’m going to go with your colors first!

Can’t wait to hear what you have on your lips too. So pretty!

Hi Kate,
Love your blog and the makeup. 🙂 a little off topic: I sent an email about being a sponsor but am afraid that it might get lost in the mix with the vol. you receive. eek! 🙂 am thinking that you might see a msg here sooner. Can you mail me at [email protected]. Thanks! Amina

I found your blog and love it. You are a beautiful woman, it shows through in your smile and eyes (beautiful hair and makeup totally aside). Thank you for sharing your tips. I have a nearly 12 year old daughter with long hair who really wants me to teach her how to style her hair, but is still very awkward using tools. Do you have any tutorials or advice for teaching a tween how to first learn how to style their hair without damaging it too much? 🙂 Thanks again for everything you have done.
