Look Book! This is the first in a new series of makeup look posts I'll be doing that volition exist kind of similar faces of the day, which are similar, "Hither, look at my makeup," except not. They'll exist open spaces to try dissimilar makeup looks, because I've been in a rut for the past two years, and I desire to get out of it. Sometimes I'll get into technique. Sometimes in that location will be quick commentary on the products. Fun things like that.

I totally went into this expect thinking I'd practise something exterior my comfort zone, and I even gave myself i of those pre-game pep talks, like "Karen, you're going to push yourself! You're going to do something cray!" — just I all the same ended up totally staying in my lane with these smoky taupe lids and glossy nude lips.

LE. SIGH. I don't even know why I fight it… I terminate up doing these subtle smoky looks like 99% of the fourth dimension, all the fourth dimension now. It's my wheelhouse, man!

Some quick notes…

This yr'due south MAC holiday LE brushes are pretty darned good

I did this entire wait from first to terminate using only the LE vacation brushes from Snow Ball, and what a nice surprise! I haven't e'er had the best luck with MAC's holiday brushes. Like, "Proceed with caution!" because although they seem like a good deal, they've oftentimes been hella scratchy (and don't last long), but the eye and face brushes in this year's kits are pretty soft and style meliorate than years past.

Most of the brush heads are on the larger side, which I guess helps you apply lots of color rapidly, but as I utilise them, I find myself wishing that the heads were smaller and more precise because of my semi-hooded middle situation (I similar smaller middle brushes). These vacation brushes like to scoot color further out than I usually want information technology to get.

(There'southward a work around for that, though. I pinch the bristles to brand the brush head smaller.)

Overall, these brushes ain't bad. In fact, I think they're pretty good.

The products in the MAC Smoky Gold Heart Purse kit can totally hang with Satin Taupe

I was really excited well-nigh the two eyeshadows in the Smoky Gold Eye Pocketbook — peachy nude Simply Gleaming and silverish warm taupe Snowdusk — and most freaked when I realized that they wait like MAC Satin Taupe, an old classic from the permanent line, when they're mixed together. If you're a fan of Satin Taupe, don't miss this Heart Bag. Also, eagle-eyed MAC mavens may take noticed that the Technakohl Liner in this kit has the old-school packaging with the black pencil body.

We've got a soft brow gel state of affairs in the MAC Snow Brawl Mascara Kit

Just something to note in example you like soft clear brow gels. There's 1 in the mascara kit. No crunch!
