MARK's Keep It Going Cream Liner is a YAY!!!

Frequently asked questions from friends is how to make the eye liner stay longer on the eyes. My advice is to opt for a cream/gel liner instead of a eyeliner pencil. It won't budge, smudge and the staying power is amazing. MARK carries a great line of cream liner called Keep It Going long wear eye liner and shadow duo. Its one of their new items and I hope they make it a permanent one.

Product Test

Before
I applied it  11:00am when I was getting ready for work. I applied the black cream liner a bit thicker than how I would normally wear it to see if it will fade on me.

After

I took a photo when I got home around  7:00pm. That's 8 hours.

It's still on!!!

 PROS:
-It really does what it says. It is long wearing and suitable for everyday use.
-The product glides on easily.
-You get 2 shades in one.
-Can be used as a liner and eyeshadow.
-Additional cover inside to keep the product from drying.
-Great price. Only $10.00

CONS:
-If you're a beginner in makeup, it takes a bit of getting used to this type of product
-Like any other cream liner, you have to work quickly with it because it dries fast.
-Only available through a Mark Representative or Mark website.

FINAL THOUGHT: This product is a YAY!!! It works really well. I have oily lids and it stays put for a long time on my upper lash line and water line. Also, I like how I get 2 shades in one. I get more for my money.

My Customized Earth Tone pallete by MARK and Eyeshadow Swatches

Hey readers! I created my own customized eye shadow palette using my I-Mark single eye shadows and Snap It Custom Color palette by Mark cosmetics.  They are one of my  favorite products from MARK. I love the quality of the eye shadows and, I love how I can mix and match them in my Snap It Custom Color palette. For example,  here is an Earth Tone palette I created.

I used eye shadows, Nomadic, Espresso, Vintage Khaki and Java. I snapped them into the palette.Voila! Its an instant palette! Now I can store it in my makeup kit for an easy reach or take it anywhere I go.

The Snap It Custom Color Palette is strong, sturdy and magnetic. Also, I love how its clear so I can see the colors.

Pretty Swatches

Simple Eye Makeup Tutorial

-I used a concealer as my base all over the lids

-Nomadic e/s was applied on the brow bone as a highlight.

-Espresso e/s was brushed over the crease using a blending brush. This will be the transition color from crease to brow bone.

-Vintage Khaki e/s was applied all over the lids and lower lash line

- Java e/s was applied on the outer V and halfway up the crease. This will add definition to the look.

-Eye Marker in Jet (black eyeliner) was applied on the upper lash line and water line.

-Curl lashes and use mascara.

If you are interested on where to purchase these, you can go to my E-Boutique.

 I-Mark single eye shadows are $5.00 each

Mark Snap It Mezzo Custom Color Palette is $6.00

Everyday Pin Up. Look #2 using Super Flip by Mark.

I was able to create another look using Super Flip by Mark. I really love the versatility of this palette. I created a wearable pin up look. Its wearable because I didn't do the dramatic cat eye liner and bright red lips. Anyone can surely pull this off. Check out my review on the Super Flip http://iambeautiful20.blogspot.com/2009/10/product-rave-super-flip-by-mark.html

look #2 Everyday Pin Up
a toned down version of the classic pin up look

products used:


-Mark's Powder Buff in Golden
 -Avon'a Magix face perfector
-Almay's line smoothing concealer in light/med
-Mark's Good Riddance hook up concealer in medium
-NYC sun to sun bronzing powder
-Maybelline's Define-a-lash mascara
-Mark's Cleo hook up liqiud liner
Mark's Super Flip color kit

Eyes:



This was very easy to achieve. I used Giola and Rockin' (bronzey red)on the crease blending it upward above the crease. I used a blending brush and dipped it in both colors.

Lava (charcoal) was used to deepen the crease with a small crease brush. I literally drew on the crease and stopped halfway in. Nudie (pale nude)was applied wet on the lids and brown bone and lastly a liquid liner was applied very thinly on the upper lashline to frame the eyes.

cheeks:



I used NYC sun to sun bronzing powder. I used the bronze side on my cheeks.

lips:



Lip balm and nude lip liner was applied on the lips. Then Racy (soft red)was applied as the lip color and topped it off with Spiced (shimmery red gloss).

for the lips, after I applied a lip balm, I used Pixie (nude lip color) and topped it off Poutin' (shimmery pink gloss)

DIY: MARK CD eyeshadow palette ^_^

When boredom hits, anything is possible ^_^ I made an eyeshadow palette out of a CD case. I had a bunch of I-Mark eye shadows that needed a home and at the same time, my mom had so many empty CD cases laying around the house. A light bulb went on my head!!

What I used:
-an empty CD case
-a cut-out of a photo from an old Mark catalog.
-scissors
-soft cardboard or poster board (optional)
-magnet sheets (I used those thin magnets on our refrigirator)

-I used my mom's empty Alabama #1 Hits cd ..YEAHH!!

-I removed the front and back cover and the middle part

-It  looked something like this ^_^

-I looked for cool photo that I will use for the front and back cover. Since I'm going to put my I-Mark eyeshadows, I went ahead and chose a photo of Mark eyeshadows from an old Mark catalog.

-I placed the empty CD on top of the photo and, I trace around it and cut it. 

-the cut-out photo will be bigger than the CD case so I had to cut it once again to fit the CD.

-I pasted the photo underneath a poster board so the photo will be firm enough to be used as a cover.

-I did the same thing for the back cover.

-I got some magnet sheets. I guess that's what you call these. But i got these on our fridge lol They're very thin magnets with ads in the front. The car shaped is from a carpet cleaning company. It's funny right?

- I taped the magnets inside. The I-Mark eyeshadows are magnetized so this will work.

- I placed my I-Mark eyeshadows in their new home ^_^

- 12 eye shadows fit inside. I left spaces in between so I can easily remove them.

-I turned it over and whew...im sure glad the eyeshadows didn't fall lol

-next to my medium size Mark palette. I could have gotten a bigger palette but eh?

-See, I can remove it easily.

Its so pretty and I love it.

I hope this gives you an idea on how to make your own eye shadow palette using what you already have at home. Ofcourse you can do whatever you want. You can place other brand of eyeshadows and use a photo you like. You dont have to necessarily do it the way I did it. Let your creative juices flow!!

Have a great one readers!
