I had several people ask to see what MAC “My Paradise” Cheek Powder looks like on my actual cheeks against my complexion, so rather than just swatch it for a post, I decided to wear it today along with my new MAC Bloggers’ Obsession goodies. This was just a look for going out during the day on a Saturday to lunch with my husband, and then shopping. I adore the way peach cheeks and lips look with green eyeshadow so I decided to pair Jealousy Wakes with Evolution Revolution lipglass from the Bloggers’ Obsession Collection and My Paradise cheek powder from Surf, Baby!
On my eyes I patted down “Jealousy Wakes” across my entire eyelid, and popped “All That Glitters” MAC eyeshadow into the inner corners. I deepened the crease and outer corner up a bit with a matte black for some extra definition. And yes, I have mascara smeared underneath my eye a bit…it has been so hot here that I have had trouble keeping makeup on my face and eyes, even with the best primer’s!
I also swept the matte black I used lightly under my lower lash line, and then lined my lower waterline with my favorite flesh colored pencil, Stila’s Kajal Eyeliner in “Topaz.”
I really love “Jealousy Wakes,” for being such a true emerald green. I also love it because a lot of times when I wear green eyeshadow, it ends up making my blue-green eyes look very red and bloodshot after a few hours of wear. With this shade, my eyes didn’t look at all red, even after wearing it all day long.
On my cheeks, I am wearing MAC’s “My Paradise” cheek powder from Surf, Baby! It gives a light peachy gold sheen to the apples of my cheeks. On my lips, I used “Evolution Revolution” from the new Bloggers’ Obsession Collection. Since the eyes are a bit heavy in color, I left the cheeks and lips peachy and somewhat nude.
And…since everyone enjoys a little self-deprecation, I figured I had to post this one. I was trying to take a photograph of the blush color, and the flash popped off insanely bright. What you see below is the result…
And that is my “Face of the Day” for today!

When did you get your Jealousy Wakes? I went to buy it on the day and it was already sold out! I did manage to get a Evolution Revolution lip glass though!

I purchased it when it was “accidentally” released via the drop down boxes in each category, and was then taken down.
