Scenes from a Palette

I am sure all of us have these looks ... we just put them on and immediately we feel pretty ... like the makeup is a confidence injection. I don't know why ... but this is one of them for me. I have always loved the combination of pink and black on the eyes, and these two are really pretty. I am totally loving all my new MAC goodies, though it is taking some time to get used to using pressed shadows since I have used loose shadows for so long now. Still love all my BE of course, but I can definitely get some good use out of the MAC stuff.

And using the MAC brushes is a nice change too! The 219 is such a great brush!

Enjoy!
