RIRI ♥ M∙A∙C Fall Inspired Tutorial ♡

Hello everyone! For today's tutorial I wanted to do a Fall makeup look and what perfect way to introduce Fall than with Rihanna's limited edition makeup collection launching today(Sept 26th) in MAC stores! She's coming out with lipsticks, eyeshadows, blushes, the whole shebang, with colors that are great for transitioning to Fall. I used products that are similar to the colors coming out to create this look that's inspired by one of the display makeup looks. I think it came out great and I'd love to see you recreate it! :)

Hope you enjoy!

An easy way to use Pressed Pigments! ♡

Hello again! For this look I wanted to incorporate my current obsession, MAC's Pressed Pigments, 'Black Grape' in particular. I love this glittery, deep purple eyeshadow and it looks amazing on every skin tone! I shared with you my technique to apply this eyeshadow in this tutorial since a lot of girls are confused on how it works. If you aren't familiar with Pressed Pigments, they're basically an intensely highlighted eyeshadow that provides a lot of glitter that creates a wet effect. They're such an easy way to take a look from casual to glamorous. Check them out and try them for yourself, but be careful, you might become obsessed with them as much as I am! ;)

Hope you enjoy!
