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…

I love MAC lipstick!! I was a volunteer at Fashion weekend, and I visited the pop up store like 3 times a day to have a different colour applied 🙂 Cyber, Candy Yum Yum and Morange were my top faves!!
I think I may have visited the MAC Pop-up store that often too 😉
Best of luck for the competition

So hard to choose one, probably their face primer, it makes my makeup last and last and my face look dewy and glowey!
I love the MAC lipsticks….I dont think I could pick a favourite shade though! xx
MAC’s Studio Fix Fluid is amazing! I’m shade NW20 and I absolutely love the full coverage it gives me 🙂
Love studio fix foundation! And lots of others! X Jamie from http://www.jamiekay.co.nz
Mac cyber lipstick and trace gold blush are my absolute top makeup products 🙂
i love my creamsheen lipgloss from MAC!
I would have to agree in saying that MAC’s lipstick are always amazing. At the moment I’m loving ‘cyber’ for those vampy nights out but I’ve got my eye on ‘fixed on drama’ and ‘show orchid’ too….
I would have to say that the MAC studio fix fluid has been my go to for a few years now. I got a shade that I can use in the summer as a foundation, but as a bronzer the rest of the year, and I have to say that it is better than most of the bronzers I’ve used!
I’ve been loving the MAC Prolongwear foundation! It’s one of the closest matches to my skin that I’ve found 🙂
My fav MAC product is definitely their Lipsticks, I have SO many different colours, they’re always consistently amazing!
My favourite MAC product (and it’s hard to choose!) would have to be their lipstick. It stays on so well. The Ruby Woo shade is the best red I have ever found!
I love love love my candy yum yum lipstick!
It’s so bright and pink and yum and I just love it soooo much! totally reminds me of barbie and my childhood hahaha 😉
Difficult to choose just one but my fav is the MAC Studio Fix Fluid, it lasts such a long time without touch ups it’s amazing!
I simply ADORE my Saint Germain lippy. I love a pretty pink lip, and love that MAC has such a great range of shades to choose from.
My go to red lipstick is MAC Lady Danger Matte… Gorgeous! all the time,
love it never fails to impress x
🙂 MAC lipsticks & their BB Cream x
I love the incredible range of eye shadows, having fair skin and blue eyes, I love ‘satin taupe’ as a light-brown day look and then increasing the depth with the MAC gel liner and the darker brown shade ‘mystery’. I find the colours wear really well, without the need for a lot of primer and they don’t crease!
Would love to learn how to apply that smoky glitter look in the photos above!!
Thanks Ange, keep up the great articles!
Love love love the Pro Longwear Foundation xo
