Whenever I see a look I like, I save it in the “Makeup” folder on my computer for future reference. Back then, I wasn’t doing FOTDs for the blog, but now I feel more confident in my makeup application skills that you all get to see what sort of looks I dig!
This FOTD is inspired by the Hello Kitty Wild: Stylin’ face chart that was released by MAC in the Hello Kitty Collection last Spring. I never do my eyes this way so it was fun to try something new. I thought the result wasn’t too shabby, no?

Get the Look
The key to this look is a good pointed crease blending brush; my favourite to use is MAC #226 (LE). You don’t have to use this brush, but it will be easier to do the look with a pointed crease brush similar to this.

For the eyes: taking a bright violet (Auraline bright violet), use the tip of the crease brush to trace out a wing shape on the outer corner, and a rounded shape on the inner corner. Fill in the shape you drew out, and blend out slightly. Don’t over blend! Next, take a golden shimmery pink (MAC Expensive Pink) to fill in the rest of the lid space. Using a clean flat eyeshadow brush, drag and blend the violet into the pink. To make the eyes pop even more, draw a shimmery white gold (LIFT Cosmetics Moon Dust) line down the middle of the lid. Blend it in to the pink. Line the lower lash line with a violet eyeliner (GOSH Funky Violet). Smudge bright violet on top for more colour intensity and smokiness. Wing out the top lash line with black eyeliner, then line the waterlines as well. Blend a warm brown (MAC Soft Brown) above the lid colours to warm up the brow bone. Add mascara and lashes!
For the cheeks: apply a low shimmer peach (MAC Peaches + MAC Arena) on the apples. Use bronzer (Lise Watier Havana) to contour the cheekbones.
For the lips: dab a peach or orange lipstick (Marcelle Flame) lightly all over the lips. Top with a sheer shimmery gloss (Smashbox Luster).
Things I would Change in the FOTD
I liked this FOTD, but because I was going by memory only (I didn’t have the face chart in front of me), there are a couple things I’d change:
- Connect the purple all the way across using a faint line in the middle.
- Apply some black eye shadow to deepen the corners.
- A brow highlight? I never got into the habit of putting down a highlight colour, only because I think my brow bone looks just fine without it. Thoughts?

Face Charts: Yes or No?
Do you use face charts for inspiration too? How about celebrity makeup? Some face charts are just waaay over the top for me but something like this is definitely right up my alley.










Amazing!!! I love this look.
.-= Michelle (LipstickRules)´s last blog ..Week in Review: Mai Beauty, MAC Superglass and YSL FOTDs =-.
Thanks! LOL so fierce right?
I love it. It’s very pretty ans sultry as the same time.
.-= Naomi´s last blog ..Caudalie Cleansing Water =-.
I loved it too! Unfortunately I had to take my makeup off early because of uncontrollable allergies! Grr.
very pretty! Gives me an idea about FOTD’s for next week
.-= Shadowy Lady´s last blog ..Shimmery Smokey Purple Eyes =-.
Oh yes that’s one of the reasons I like looking at other people’s FOTDs! I hate getting stuck in a rut with my makeup.
i think this is gorgeous! i can see what you mean about connecting the purple in the close up pics, but with the full face picture it looks just fine. since people aren’t really going to be looking at your face up close normally, i think its good the way it is
.-= blue´s last blog ..Tarte giveaway winner! =-.
Thanks for the feedback
I think it looks fine too, but the close up pics leave me wanting more, y’know? It just doesn’t look quite finished closer up. Next time!
Okay, I’m officially adding MAC Expensive Pink too my (extremely long) wish list. It’s gorgeous!
I seriously love this whole FOTD though – so pretty! I’ve never used a face chart before, though this is making me think I need start paying more attention to them
.-= Rebecca´s last blog ..Rimmel Lasting Finish Blush: near perfection, in the wrong shade =-.
Oh I know. Expensive Pink doesn’t get much love in my stash, but it pairs well with browns too!
Oooweee
You look gorgeous! That eye makeup makes your eyes pop.
I can honestly tell you that face charts scare the hell out of me. Haha. Imagine if everyone’s faces are structured like that!
LOL you make me blush!
I would imagine some models do have such strong bone structure (and are that skinny). I like to think that my normally structured / plumper face is more attractive than that. Hah!
I’ve always wanted to recreate a face chart, but have never really bothered to.
This look is adorable, I love the centre lid colour
.-= SilhouetteScreams´s last blog ..Party Pinup =-.
Pretty right?
I was surprised myself. It’s really fresh looking!
Very cute! I totally have to pull out my Lucky Tom palette again.
.-= Catherine´s last blog ..Fake Mascara from eBay =/ =-.
Great palette and cute packaging too! I wish they would permanently make the quads in the long format. You should try out this look, it’ll look great on ya!
Very nice! I like it a lot. Thimk I’ll try this look with my palette.
.-= Donna´s last blog ..Benefit Stay Don’t Stray Review =-.
Do you have the Hello Kitty Palette? I wish I had money back then, when I was a poor starving student. lol
Love this look! That pink is such a pretty color
hope you’re having a good week
