L.F DOES S/S - CHEN MAN FOR MAC INSPIRED

Promo image for the MAC and Chen Man collaboration. Her work is stunning!
Behind the scenes - the final image is a bit different to the photos here.... or maybe he wasn't quite finished with the look!
Very loosely inspired, I took things and changed some things up but the colour scheme and placement  is what inspired me the most. The cheeks had a more 'pinched' look too, which was done just by loads of layering and buffing :)
KEY PRODUCTS:
MAC EYE SHADOW - PASSIONATE AND CLIMATE BLUE
URBAN DECAY EYE SHADOW - NARCOTIC
ELF EYE TRANSFORMER - BLUE SHADE (LAYERED ON TOP OF THE TURQUOISE LID TO REPLICATE A 'GLOSS' LOOK TO THE EYE)
MAKE UP FOREVER FLASH COLOUR - FUCHSIA AND TURQUOISE
NYX LIP PENCIL - PINKY 
LA FEMME BLUSH- CORAL (NOT SURE WHY BUT THIS KEPT FADING ON ME)
CONCEALER TO 'LIGHTEN' THE BROWS

Hey guys, this look will be the start of doing my spring/summer make-up series again for 2012. Certainly doesn't feel like it outside.
Don't need to point this out but this isn't the most flattering make-up on me ever! I think it's the brows, my face needs structure.
Anyway things that I picked up whilst doing this make-up was using creams on top of powders was quite interesting to work with - I did this with the eyes and it created a more matte finish than a glossy sheen.... something you guys might want to try out. Also if you happen to have any concealers that are too light - they work as wonderful natural looking highlighters to the face. I used this on the centre of my lower lid.
Lastly it is worth mentioning to replicate the official look authentically you can purchase the actual products they used online and in store right now (limited edition though - you know MAC).
