MAC Cranberry and life update

 Sometimes it's not possible to be a good blogger. I think of blogging all the time but I just can't seem to sit down and write a bit. I've been working for three weeks non stop, kind of sure I didn't have a single day off but I can't complain cause things are going very well.

I recently started to work in a theatre on the weekends as part of the make up artists staff for a new play (and the premiere is tonight!). Everything is so new and fresh, we are not sure how it's gonna turn out but I really like it, the people is so nice that I don't even mind waking up at 8 am on Sundays and not getting paid for it. 

I've also just got a new job that starts on October and I'm quite excited about it, sadly it's not beauty related but I get to speak English all day and the pay is good. It's just for a few months but suits me perfect as I will soon move to Sweden and need to save lots of money.

And besides all that, I've been working on my own doing peoples make up a lot lately, usually after my main job... meaning I get home after 21hs. 

I'm very very tired but I feel that my life is starting to make sense... I know that can sound a bit dramatic but this year wasn't my year and things are getting better now. Maybe nobody cares of what I'm writing now and I should go straight to the review but well, I wanted to explain a bit why I haven't been blogging often :)

Working in the theathre is awesome and we get to play with a lot of colors and textures. I pretty much wear neutral eyeshadows all the time so I felt like doing something different now that I'm inspired.

I took my mom's MAC Cranberry eyeshadow the other day 'cause I thought I could needed it for a work.

MAC Cranberry is a dark berry red with a frost finish, very pigmented and absolutely perfect for fall/winter time. There are so many ways to use it but I opted to do a smokey eye with some black eyeshadow. I usually blend everything when I get close to the brow bone but this time I didn't, I wanted a very dramatic finish and so I also added some dark plum lipstick.

Also wearing:

Laura Mercier Silk Creme Foundation in Bamboo Beige / Inglot Cream Concealer in Peach / Mac Studio Finish Concealer in NW 20 / Laura Mercier Secret Camouflage in SC-3 / The Balm Mary Lou-Manizer Highlighter / MUA Mosaic Brozer #1 Natural Glow / Inglot Brow Powder in #560 / Urban Decay Naked Basics Palette in Crave, Venus and WOS / Jordana Best Lash Extreme Mascara in Black / Mac Rebel Lipstick

I hope you guys like this look, let me know if you would like to see more reviews/posts like this and sorry for so much rambling!

A veces se complica ser una buena blogger. Pienso bastante en ellos pero simplemente no puedo sentarme a escribir, vengo trabajando tres semanas seguidas sin día de descanso pero no me quejo porque las cosas andan bien.
Recientemente empecé a trabajar en el teatro El Colonial en una obra que empieza bien desde abajo y está hecha con mucho amor y dedicación: La Venganza del Conde de Montecristo (estrena hoy a la noche!!). Soy parte del staff de maquilladoras y me estoy diviertiendo demasiado, la paso tan bien que no me importa mucho levantarme a las 8 am los domingos y que no me paguen.
También conseguí un nuevo trabajo fulltime en una empresa que aunque no tenga nada que ver con el rubro belleza, me da la posibilidad de hablar inglés todo el día y poder ahorrar para el viaje. Últimamente venía trabajando en mi laburo actual que no me gusta mucho y quería cambiar pero ser maquilladora freelance no es lo más estable del mundo. Por suerte éste nuevo trabajo es sólo por un par de meses y me viene bien para tener algo fijo antes de irme a Suecia.

Y bueno, esto de estar tanto en contacto con el makeup y trabajar en el teatro te abren la cabeza un poquito, jugamos mucho con los colores y texturas y vengo bastante inspirada. 
Generalmente soy de usar colores neutros en los ojos y si bien quiero probar colores nuevos no me voy a ir directamente al amarillo... probamos con MAC Cranberry?
MAC Cranberry es una sombra roja oscura/bordó con un acabado satinado, la pigmentación es increíble y es un color hermoso para invierno (que lamentablemente ya está terminando). Hay muchas maneras de usarla pero opté por hacer un smokey eye con negro sin difuminar tanto los bordes, dando un efecto bastante dramático al combinarlo con labios oscuros.

También usé:

Laura Mercier Silk Creme Foundation in Bamboo Beige / Inglot Cream Concealer in Peach / Mac Studio Finish Concealer in NW 20 / Laura Mercier Secret Camouflage in SC-3 / The Balm Mary Lou-Manizer Highlighter / MUA Mosaic Brozer #1 Natural Glow / Inglot Brow Powder in #560 / Urban Decay Naked Basics Palette in Crave, Venus and WOS / Jordana Best Lash Extreme Mascara in Black / Mac Rebel Lipstick

Que les parece? Es algo fuerte pero está bueno probar cosas distintas, espero que le guste y perdón por irme por las ramas!
Besotes, Flo x
