    Hi Marlena,

    I have a few MAC eye shadows and I wonder if they would work for this look? In particular, Sushi Flower or Free to Be. Would they be similar to the hot pink you used?

    Also if I didn’t want so much pink, what would you suggest for cheeks and lips instead?
    Thanks

      Those MAC eyeshadows aren’t quite bright enough, but they’ll work for blending. Use them for a softer look :) A close dupe would be MAC’s Passionate

      For cheeks, wear just bronzer. For lips, you could probably do a peach color and be ok…

        Thanks Heaps Marlena. I gave it a try with Sushi Flower and you’re right, definitely a softer look which worked well for work. I’m going to grab Passionate to brighten it up a bit for weekends :)

    Could you do a gray smokey eye for brain cancer? This is beautiful, but it breaks my heart when I know people who have cancers that are more difficult to treat with a higher mortality rate that don’t receive *nearly* the same funding or awareness.

    That’s so gorgeous, I’m going to give it a go this weekend. I’ve done something similar in the past with a metallic silver on the lid and a shocking pink cut crease which was cool. I used a lip liner to draw the cut crease but as you said it can be a bit sticky and I’ll try again with just shadow and a precise brush.

    Hi Marlena,

    This is really beautiful. It’s great that you support such a worthy cause. My favourite part was the “I don’t want to look like a pink freak!” part. Ha ha. Laughter is the best medicine after all.
