wearing the new MAC Alluring Aquatic collection on my eyes, lips and cheeks
Whenever I have mermaid dreams (yes, it’s a thing), they a lot more or less go down something like this…

They’re normally in slow motion, lots of bubbles, tons of makeup…

Shoot, I can’t even fathom (Haha! Fathom…? get it?) being a mermaid without makeup. C’est absurde.

The video is from MAC, timed for the release of their Alluring Aquatic collection, which launched online today (it’ll be in stores on may 22).

Not that I needed a reason to channel my inner mermaid (because every day is a good day to channel your inner mermaid), but I used it (the new collection) as such for my makeup today.

There are lots of things I like about this look. It’s slightly smokey, has warm browns in the crease, some color along the lash lines and leagues o’ lashes (thank goodness for falsies). Oh, and just the lightest dusting of glitter.

Toutes les bonnes choses.

I’m pretty comfortable with looks like this. I feel like this one’s a little flashy but stops short of full-on cray.

I might tone it down a tad if I were hanging out with the family or spending time with friends or going out to dinner with El Hub, and then just add the falsies for big events or fancy parties.

Today, though, I made a decision to put them on because, heck, it’s Thursday, and that seemed like a good enough reason for me, LOL!

Most of the products I’m wearing here are from MAC. On my eyes that’s…

MAC Legendary Lure extra dimension Eye Shadow: lids and lower lash lines

MAC Black Line Pearlglide intense Eye Liner: as an eyeshadow base on my lids (it coaxes the green tones in Legendary Lure, and buffing it out brings out the small bits of golden glitter from the liner…super cool!)

MAC Delphic extra dimension Bronzer: crease and lower lash line

MAC texture Eye Shadow: outer part of crease, to darken and add a minor lift to the eyes

MAC Black Swan Pearlglide intense Eye Liner: upper and lower lash lines

Urban Decay Perversion 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil: water lines

MAC Mylar Eye shadow layered on top of MAC Light improve Prep + Prime Highlighter: on my brow bones

MAC Lorelei extra dimension Eye Shadow: inner corners

Ardell Demi 120 Lashes: upper lashes

Guerlain Cils D’Enfer Mascara: lower lashes

MAC Deep Dark Brunette Fluidline Gelcreme: brows

Cheeks and lips are all Alluring Aquatic.

To sculpt my cheeks and give them some color, I’m wearing Delphic extra dimension Bronzer and Sea Me hear Me extra dimension Blush. To highlight my cheeks, nose and cupid’s bow, I grabbed MAC Lorelei extra dimension Eye Shadow. On my lips I’m wearing What Comes naturally Lip Pencil, Enchanted One Lipstick and clear Water Lipglass.

Because mermaids are instinctively curious creatures, I’m wondering if any individual else wore smokey greens today. Inquiring mythical minds want to know.
