Good Girl Vibes - Ariana Grande x Mac Viva Glam Inspired Look 2

I posted my Bad Girl Vibes post inspired by the other half of this Ariana Grande x Mac Viva Glam collection yesterday. I really love that look and I want to rock it again soon!

Today, I decided to let my good girl out and do a Good Girl Vibes inspired look using the Lipglass from the collection. It's a gorgeous pinky/clear lipgloss with glitter through it. It photographs well and leaves me lips looking plump and so luscious, which is a great change in this colder weather!

To inspire this look I looked at Ariana's usual every day make up and it consists mostly of flawless skin, a nude coloured lid, a great cat eye, big lashes and a beautiful lip! So I used my usual base with a subtle metallic pink eye, a cat eye and the lipgloss!



To recreate this look if you are interested just follow these steps:

Step 1: Moisturise and prime your face. For a flawless finish and longevity this step is so important!

Step 2: For my base I applied a generous amount of Kryolan TV Paint stick and blended this in using a damp beauty blender (I have real techniques version). I then contoured my face using my Anastasia Beverly Hills Cream Contour Kit. Using the two lightest contour shades mixed under my cheekbones, around my forehead, under my chin and at the end of the bridge of my nose. I blended this using my Real Techniques Face Expert brush.
I then added concealer under my eyes and where I want to highlight. (forehead, cheekbones, bridge of my nose, cupids bow and just a small amount on my chin.)

Step 3: To set this I used loose powder under my eye and left it on to 'bake'. (Check youtube tutorials if unsure) I then powered my face where I get oily during the day and used Mac Blush in Harmony to contour.

Step 4: For my eyes I applied a transition colour in my crease. I used Stark from the Gwen Stefani x Urban Decay Eyeshadow Palette. On my lid and slightly above I used Maybelline Colour Tattoo 24hr Eyeshadow in Pink Gold and set it with Harajuku from the Gwen x UD Palette. I then went over the lid with Pop from the same palette to add a slight bit of glitter.

Step 5: I used a fluffy brush to wipe away the excess powder and fallout under my eye. 

Step 6: I went in with Anaheim from the Gwen x UD Palette at my waterline and Blonde from that Palette on the inside of my eye with a small amount of Pop on top.

Step 4: I added a large winged liner (Wet n' Wild Liquid Liner) like Ariana usually has and a coat of mascara (Maybelline Lash Sensational) and false lashes. I used Primark lashes in Sultry.

Step 5: I added to my cheek contour with Lo-Fi From the Gwen Stefani x Urban Decay Blush palette that I bought today (Post on that coming soon!), added a pop of colour to my cheeks by using the easy shade for blush and angel for highlight where I had placed my concealer! This palette has everything you could need - so gorgeous!

Step 6: To finish the look I applied a small amount of Mac Soar Lip Pencil to my lips and coated them with the Ariana Grande x Mac Viva Glam Lipglass!

This look is super easy to wear and the eyes could be toned down to a nice cool brown tone to wear something similar to what Ariana probably would!

Ariana Grande x Mac Viva Glam Collection

I assume anyone who's read any of my previous posts knows I LOVE Ariana. So, naturally, whenever I heard about her collab with Mac Viva Glam I was super excited, two of my favourites! I even mentioned it in my wish list for 2016 which you can find HERE. I also seen online it was due to launch January 13th so I patiently waited and it only became available on the North American website - Boo. Being me I obviously tweeted Mac in a frenzy and they replied to say it would be available in the UK on the 21st January (yay!) so I bought it as soon as I could that day! I believe it won't be in stores until this weekend (approx.) so hopefully this gives you some insight into the product first!

Ariana's style is one of my favourites ever and I couldn't wait to see what she would come up with. She brought out a Matte Lipstick and a Lipglass. The theme she went for is kind of a bad girl/good girl vibe as most people have a bit of both!





The packing is Mac's standard packaging with a metallic red on the lipstick and Ariana's signature in red on both products!


The lipstick is a dark vampy red with purple tones through it. Such a gorgeous colour which can be worn lightly as a dark red or as shown in the swatches. It's an amazing Mac quality matte lipstick which doesn't look to be too drying and has amazing staying power. Perfect for a dark shade!



The lipglass is a pale pinky/nude with glitter throughout. It's an amazing gloss and I'm so excited to try it out as it's so far from what I'd usually wear. When swatched on my had the gloss looked pretty sheer so I'm also sure it would be great on top of so many shades and not just the lipstick in this collection!


I swatched both the colours side by side here:
These two are under a white light.



The following two are taken with a flash.



I'm totally and utterly obsessed with both of these and thinking of doing 2 make up looks inspired by these - a bad girl and good girl look! Let me know if that interests you!
