Glossy Lid Gang: Pat McGrath Dark Star 006 Limited Edition 🖤🖤🖤

PAT MCGRATH DARK STAR 002

Hi guys, first let me just say thank you for the last two weeks. I've been so grateful for the support. Thanks for the feedback and positivity! For the last couple of months, I've been brainstorming this look for you. It's the glossy lid trend that we all love! I first tried it last year and then put it on my snapchat and some of my friends really liked it. Pat mcgrath is a genius! I think this look is perfect for the summer. To achieve a similar, inspired vibe, check out the products I used.

PAT MCGRATH CAN PACKAGE

When you first open the packaging, it's like being a kid in a candy store lol! There's a bunch of blue sequins everywhere! But I really think it's so that you can feel that "Tech-noir smokey...Intergalactic glamour". And yes, I did feel that way for the most part. It's a fun experience! The kit comes with 3 shades: dark matter, mercury, and astral white. It also comes with an eyegloss, smudgeliner, and a blender brush. 

What I love about this kit is just how versatile it is. For just about any makeup look when I go out, I can use the mercury pigment for an extra pop. It really makes your eyes stand out when you put some of it in the corners as a highlighter! The gloss has reflective shimmer with a bluish white tint so it really accentuates the glossy lid. 

The dark matter shadow is perfect for smudging when you want a more intense look. You don't have to use much because it transfers easily. If I were going on a trip, I'd at least bring a couple shadows from this kit as a universal go-to to enhance the shadows that I'm already using.

PAT MCGRATH

I love pat mcgrath as a makeup artist, she has so many tips and tricks that really create that high fashion, bright, bold look. Other times, it's a very natural, subtle, chic vibe with just a hint of color. I really love her products and seeing the looks she creates for runway shows. Pat is also restocking her newest product, lust: mattetrance™ lipstick tomorrow on sephora!

RECREATING THE LOOK

I did the look a second time on a different day to see how it would turn out. I'm a sucker for those indigo lids. It's perfect for the summer and honestly, I'd wear the holographic cyber clear gloss during the day.
