M.A.C Technique Seminar + WIN One Of Two MAC Makeup Lessons Valued At $150 Each…

To wrap up New Zealand Fashion Week we headed along to the MAC Technique Seminar on the weekend.  A fabulous event where we were shown how to create two different looks by M.A.C Makeup Artists – Olivia and Kiki.

Olivia created a beautiful dramatic eye and nude lip on Ella Corbin, whilst Kiki focussed on a dark lip and flawless fresh face on model Aislinn Faulkner. As Olivia and Kiki showed us how to create these two very different looks, they also shared with us their favourite MAC Cosmetics items that they wouldn’t be without, as well as sharing a couple of insider tips.

In making over N Model Management’s Ella and Aislinn, both makeup artists used their ultimate MAC beauty items – Prep + Prime, Fast Response Eye Creme, Lip Conditioner, MAC Concealer Palette; and of course the infamous MAC 239 & 217 Makeup Brushes.

A great tip that the girls shared with us was how to create a flawless liner along your lash-line/eyelid.  Many of us are guilty of, when trying to create a beautiful cat-eye-line, looking straight at the mirror or tilting the head down slightly and applying the liner. Or worse still. pulling the eyelid taut to try to achieve a smooth application.  What Olivia and Kiki told us was that if you do either of these things the lashes actually contract, which in turn creates an imperfect and wavy line.  To avoid this, and instead create the perfect lashliner look, tilt your chin up and then apply the fluid liner – viola! A totally different perspective, of which creates the perfect line.

But hey, why talk you through all the fabulous MAC products and further tips & tricks when you could find out first hand for yourself…
