MAC Viva Glam - Nicki Minaj and Ricky Martin



If you don't know yet MAC's line Viva Glam is a charity that supports AIDS/HIV programs.  For every Viva Glam item purchased, MAC donates a percentage (it's been said that MAC donates 100%) and has raised more than $235 million dollars since it launched in 1994.

Ricky Martin & Nicki Minaj are the NEW faces of Viva Glam and have collaborated to bring awareness to Latin America.  

This is Ricky's 1st time campaigning with MAC and brings us the 'Lip Conditioner.'  As for Nicki this is her 2nd time and she introduces her NEW lipstick 'Nicki.'

Nicki's 1st lipstick 'Pink Friday' was a pink color more described as the pepto-bismol bottle.  However, 'Nicki' is a beautiful coral/neon pink with a yellow undertone.  I L O V E I T! ! ! !


Nicki's look on the poster is cool, fun and simple.  This is my inspirational look -

I completed one eye only.

Starting with my Too Face Insurance Eye Primer Potion then I applied:



as a based on my lid.  You can also use your fingers.  When using O.C.C Lip Tar make sure to use on your hand/palette before applying to avoid heavy access.  Also, if using a brush make sure to use a clean brush or if reusing a brush make sure you wipe it clean very well before dabbing on an eyeshadow.  
Next, using MAC e/s 'Bitter' on lid (applied several times)
On my crease using my duo brush I bought at Walmart for $1.99 - pencil point use MAC e/s 'Saffron'
turning the brush to the other side and blend harsh lines
I then applied MAC e/s 'Mylar' above my crease to under my brow bone.
For lower lashline - I used Urban Decay's 24/7 pencil 'Electric'
followed over the liner MAC e/s 'Electric El'

Last, I used Tarte 'Black' clay eyeliner, Urban Decay's 24/7 eye pencil 'Zero' in my water line, Mascara and Miss Adoro eyelashes #1 & 307.
