A MAC Tropical Taboo Face of the Day and a Katy Cat Moment - Makeup and Beauty Blog

My makeup today features pieces from MAC Tropical Taboo (with a smattering of products from MAC's permanent collection)

I know I'm a few years late on this train, but I am super obsessed with Katy Perry at the moment.

I hateful, I've always liked her music, and she seems pretty cool (daughter loves cats!). I tin't fifty-fifty begin to guess how many miles I've logged listening to Teenage Dream on the treadmill, and how can y'all not like someone with blueish pilus who rocks out on stage next to a giant, person-sized cat??

But last weekend I Netflixed a documentary well-nigh her called Katy Perry: Office of Me that follows her 2011 Teenage Dream bout (and her breakdown with Russell Brand), and that sort of tipped the scales for me from casual fan to full-diddled obsession.

First of all, she's a crazy cat lady, and you know I'one thousand feelin' that. 🙂 Throughout the movie, I kept thinking, "Awww, I bet she misses her kitties!"

Then there's her music. Before the movie, I'd only heard her hits on the radio, simply she performs a agglomeration of her other songs in the documentary (and her hits), and I liked them all. I think it's cool that she writes her ain music! How many pop stars actually do that these days? I concluded up buying the rest of the Teenage Dream album after the movie.

Some of her songs are sugary cotton processed, like Peacock, which I was listening to when I got the idea to do this iridescent gold/brown/purple eye with the new MAC Tropical Taboo collection…

I wanna encounter yo' Peacock!

Mineralize Eye Shadows in Bossa Blue (lower lash line), Cha-Cha-Cha (lid) and Dare to Blank (inner corner and forehead bone); MAC Center Shadows in Texture (crease) and Dear Lust (crease)

MAC Kohl Power Center Pencils in Feline (h2o line) and Orpheus (upper lash line and outer corner); MAC Extended Play Gigablack Mascara (lashes); MAC Veluxe Forehead Liner in Deep Night Brunette (brows)

Mineralize Chroma in Simmer (cheeks), Mineralize Skinfinish in Soft and Gentle (upper cheekbones); Lip Pencil in Have to Take It (lips), Mineralize Rich Lipstick in Glamour Era (lips), MAC Plushglass in Big Baby (lips)

But some of them are really meaningful and pack an emotional wallop if you listen closely to the lyrics.

The kicker was seeing this operation of Firework by a group of uncomplicated kids from PS22. Seriously, I was in tears! Watching these kids sing nearly hanging on and assertive in yourself when you lot've been knocked down — it was just too much for my PMS-addled center!

And Katy simply seems actually cool. Just…normal. Not like a diva who takes herself too seriously. Not that there's anything wrong with divas, but ya know. Like, she has such expert manners, every bit strange as that sounds, and appears to actually bask making other people happy, fifty-fifty when she was heartbroken and exhausted on tour during the breakup with her married man.

At that place's this moment in the pic only before a show in front of thousands of screaming fans in Brazil where she'due south on the verge of a complete breakdown, and the people in her crew don't know how to react. They care about her. Some of them are family members. She'southward crying backstage, and someone on the crew whispers, "She never cries," but then right before she takes the stage, she pulls her shoulders back, puts a smiling on her face, regains her composure, and the show begins.

Something about that actually got to me. Yous know, there are times in our lives when we're going through tough stuff. We hit our breaking betoken, just we pull it together and go on.

Baby, you lot're a firework

One concluding Katy-cat fan girl moment! She's currently on the comprehend of Vogue! — and I think she looks astonishing.
