MAC "Blue Brown" Pigment is a duochrome color, which means it shifts between two different colors depending on the way light hits it.

It's like getting two colors for the price of one -- just like when you apply pigments wet or dry! Read more...
Light Pink Look

I added a touch of green on my lower waterline for a tad more color, but you can leave this out if you want it to look more natural. This is a great look for daytime wear or for all day for those of you who are just getting into makeup or who prefer to wear subtle makeup. Read more...
