mac – Hoots of a Night Al

Happy February, friends! With Valentine’s Day quickly approaching, I thought it would be fun to share a few different Valentine’s makeup looks. First up is a look I’m calling, Burgundy & Bronze. With blue eyes, I always love using red-toned eyeshadow, because it makes my eyes pop more. However, I think reddish shadows can look amazing on anyone!

I opted for a red-burgundy crease color, bronze lid, and soft burgundy lip. As you can see below, I always use shadow to line under my eye as well. I love how it allows your eyeshadow look to have more impact. To compliment my shadow, I used a shimmery, peach blush and (a heaping load) of highlighter. Overall, I feel like this is a bold, but not over-the-top makeup look anyone could rock for an amazing Valentine’s Day date, party, or Galentine’s celebration!

If you’re a fan of this look, check out my full list of products after the pictures! Thanks for reading, and I’ll be back soon with more Valentine’s looks!

As someone who mostly wears drugstore makeup, MAC is considered a splurge for me. When I really want to have a “treat yo’ self” moment, I know I can’t go wrong with their products…and I recently discovered, their MAC Prolongwear Lipcreme is absolutely amazing.

This color is Perpetual Flame, and it’s a gorgeous red with just a hint of berry to it. The color payoff is amazing, and it applies smoothly and easily.

I used to not care much about lipstick, but in the last few years, it has become one of my favorite beauty products, and this one is near the top of the list.

The picture below is from FOUR HOURS after I applied my lipstick AND after I ate Pappasito’s. Anyone that knows Texans knows we don’t mess around when eating Tex Mex. I didn’t hold back, and this lipstick stayed in place perfectly. (Also, I’m not sure what I mean by “I didn’t hold back”…I don’t eat Tex Mex like a ravenous dog…most of the time…)

Here I am reapplying my MAC Pro Longwear Lipcreme. JUST KIDDING. IT NEVER WEARS OFF. Seriously, I’ve worn it for at least 8 hours before, and it didn’t budge. It’s also great because even though it’s long-wearing, my lips never feel dry or uncomfortable when I’m wearing this lipstick.

As you can see, I’m a BIG fan of this lip product, and I think you’ll love it, too! It’s worth the tiny splurge if you’re looking for an amazing, long-wearing lipstick.

What are your favorite shades of lipstick from MAC? Let me know!
