Yesterday I moaned about MAC Blackground paint pot looking rubbish on me, so I decided to have a look for some inspiration. With help from Bickyyy and Nikki, I managed to make Blackground work for me today.
Ta Daaaaaaaaaaaaah
After applying Blackground with my finger, I blended it out using a really stiff crease/pencil brush (mine was from Charles Fox) and then layered MAC All that Glitters, Woodwinked and Amber Lights over Blackground which just made it more dramatic. I also used Sleek blush in Flamingo and MAC Peaches blush to give me really dramatic, 80’s cheeks.
Here’s a close of the eye (sorry it’s poor, my camera battery ran out)
It was much more like the full face photo in real life.
I also did a massive quiff today and pinned the rest back into a mohican. It’s my fav hairstyle.
It’s not very backcombed as I’m just going to bed but you get the general idea.
So now- Blackground I’m loving you.
XOXO
YAY! Looks wicked. I love me some Blackground. It was, along with a Powerpoint liner and a Fluidline the first thing I got from MAC and I never though about layering it when I first got it but now I use it all the time. Glad you got it to work! :D Loving that wicked hair too.
ReplyDeleteLOVIIING this layering business. And your 80s cheeks! :D

This all looks wicked! X
ReplyDeleteLooks great! :) You know I rarely use my blackground as well. I would still prefer MAC's sharkskin and we all know it's hard to find them these days. But thanks for the inspiration, I should do a look using blackground one of these days. :)
