My NARS makeover

Remember my "they put BROWN eyeshadow all the way up to my Mcdonalds eyebrows!" makeover disaster from MAC earlier this year? I swore off getting makeovers after that. So I have absolutely no idea how I got roped into getting a makeover from NARS - (in actuality, I was busy enabling a friend of mine to buy NARS blushes, the MUA kindly told us about the makeover event that was going to take place on 24+25 July. Since my friend has never had a makeover before, I grudgingly put our names down).
So it was with much trepidation that I arrived at my appointment...
I was completely blown away with the results.
My MUA was Ty, and I would recommend her in a heartbeat! She is extremely knowledgeable, she is experienced with working on Asian faces, and she constantly asks for your opinion of her work - she makes you feel so at ease and she truly wants you to be happy with the results.
She managed to balance my one brow that constantly looks surprised, and NO MCDONALDS EYESBROWS OR BROWN EYESHADOW!
She's also hilariously funny, her and Jay from MUFE had me constantly in giggles the entire time I was there. Oh and in case you're wondering, it's Jay of this gorgeous piece of work I photographed at the IMATS.
Ze results:


What's on my face:
Foundation: NARS Sheer Glow Foundation in Punjab mixed with Orgasm Illuminator and a bit of their Hydrating Moisture Cream.
Cheeks: Gina blush, Albatross highlight, Laguna bronzer.
Eyes: Strada, Night Fairy, Goldfinger, and Alhambra eyeshadow, Mekong as upper lash liner, China blue as lower lash liner.
Lips: Sexual Healing lipstick with Orgasm lipgloss.

Needless to say, I pretty much bought everything she used on me xD I particularly loved their foundation, I will definitely get a bottle once I'm done with my current one.
Thank you very much Ty! I had an absolute blast with you!
If any of you are interested in booking an appointment with Ty for a makeover, head down to the the NARS counter at The Bay downtown, or call 604-681-6211. Tell her Macnunu.com sent you xD

  5. Holy crap do you know how long I've been in love with 'Strada?'

    At one point I was so obsessed I couldn't pass by a Nars counter without swatching it! But then I read some reviews that said it looked grey on the eyes and my obsession stopped...

    But damn it, now looking at your pictures makes me want it again!!!!!

    You totally rock the look babe!

    PS. I totally saw the Nars girls trying to sell the gift set, Larry and I were sitting at Blenz while I checked one of the Nars girls out, she was wearing a super cute skirt!

    LOL dunno why I just told you that :D
