NEW MOON & YOUNG PUNK

New Moon is a duochrome color by CALYPSO MINERALS and Young Punk is from the latest Style Black Collection by MAC. I got so many compliments on this look the day I wore it that ladies were asking me to write down the list of products I used to create it. I was overwhelmed so I knew I had to do a tutorial for you guys.


LIST OF PRODUCTS USED FOR THIS LOOK:
Benefit FYI Lid Primer
MAC Grease Paint Pencil (from the Style Black Collection)
Calypso Minerals, New Moon Mineral Shadow
MAC - Young Punk
Lancome - Oscillating Base
Lancome - Hypnose Mascara
MAC - Sculpt & Shape Powder
MAC Blush - Dolly Mix
MAC - Lip Erase
MAC - Satin Lipstick in "Our Pick"
Lady Primrose - Lip Plumping Gloss - "Clear"

CALYPSO MINERALS DUOCHROME STACKER
COLORS LISTED FROM LEFT TO RIGHT:
New Moon, Eclipse, Breaking Dawn, Eye Scream, Whatsit Toya, Isparkle, Kryptoni, Peeka Boo, Sequin

Duochromes are color shifting powders. They appear as white powders in the containers but they go on as different colors. They are really pretty and will take on different colors depending on what you use as a base. I have used the NYX Jumbo Pencil in Black Bean in the pic above. I have used them with a neutral base as well and they come out really opaque bright colors. I will do some looks using them this way as well.

Word of warning though. It took about 2 months, and I'm not exaggerating, to get my products. I have heard other guru's on YouTube talk about how long it took to get their products, so if you do order, be patient and just keep communicating with Jen, she is the owner and get a tracking number. The products are worth the wait.

Please let me know what you think!!! and let me know if you have any requests using these products!!

Thanks everyone and don't forget to hit the "FOLLOW" button :)

MAC - STYLE BLACK TUTORIAL / GILT BY ASSOCIATION & YOUNG PUNK

I am having so much fun with this collection. I love these dark dramatic colors. The whole Glam Rock 80-'s thing is right up my alley. If you need to know anything about 80's anything, I'm your girl. Remember I am class of 86, lol.

I had someone make a comment on one of my videos about how, someone had told her that if you are over the age of 30...(WHAT THE WHAT?) that you shouldn't wear looks like this one below. Like I said, WHAT THE WHAT? oh, hell no. Now I've never been one to color inside the lines even as a kid and I certainly am not going to start now. I feel more free and empowered, at this age, to do whatever I want, than I ever have. Hopefully you will too. Start now, life's too short yall!

WHAT RULES? F THE RULES!!!!
