Pardon the craziness guys! I'm slowly trying to redesign my blog. And by slowly I mean it's taking me several hours a night to try and figure out the correct coding (HTML) for one thing....and then it doesn't work! Argh! SO FRUSTRATING! Things will *hopefully* be up and running in the next couple weeks! Thanks for understanding!!

Neutral Series: MAC Fall Bronze Tutorial

So it's been a while since my last blog entry. But if you've been keeping up with my recent videos, you know why.

This tutorial is one of the easiest looks to pull together. It's a great mixture of warm-toned browns and bronze. I wear this look to work (minus the black shadow) and when I'm going out for a night with the girls. And it's not too dark to be a daytime look. It's perfect. And since I haven't done a tutorial using MAC products, I figured why not do a look using some of my favorite MAC shadows?

MAC cosmetics has a ton of really great products. My all-time favorite lipsticks are by MAC, and the majority of my personal makeup and the makeup I use in my freelance kit is MAC. Though I don't strictly stick to MAC. I use a LOT of great makeup products - both high end and drugstore brands (personally and in my kit). Though all of this is beside the point. Keep on reading if you would like to know what was used in this tutorial. If you're interested in seeing how I put this look together, check out the video at the end of this post.
