The future is meow!
Hmm… What does one do, and where does one go, while wearing shimmery royal blue cat eyes, teal brows and aqua blue lips?
Perhaps waaaaaaay far into the future behind the wheel of a time-traveling DeLorean? To a time in a fantastical future when bad-@ss babes run the show wearing makeup by MAC and clothing by Chromat?

Gigawatts of girl power course through the MAC Chromat collection, which electrifies domestic MAC counters and the MAC web site starting June 29th (and internationally this July), and it got me fired up to turn this look into a tutorial.
The eight-piece MAC Chromat collection clockwise from the upper left: MAC Eye shadow X 6 /#Chromatbabe incredibly pack ($32), Matte Lipstick in Augmented reality ($17), Amplified Lipstick in #Shockvalue ($17), 263 small Angle brush ($20), Technakohl liner in Bionic Bae ($17), glitter in reflects Turquatic ($22), pro Longwear Fluidline in Aeros Blue ($17) and Zoom Lash in Metropolis Blue ($18)
The MAC Chromat collection: Overview
Blue and gray supercharge the eight-piece limited edition release, while pops of orange and red crackle, and the collection comes complete with bionic-seeming blue LE packaging that looks like something straight out of Tron!
I’m feelin’ the eyeshadow palette, the lipsticks and the tiny angled brush, which is a re-promote from the MAC permanent line. the blue mascara, blue gel liner and blue pencil liner, however, aren’t quite as electrifying IMO. I don’t dislike them… I think they’re fine. The only thing is, they require lots of layering to get them to really show up on me. major patience.

Designer Becca McCharen of Chromat
The collection is a collab with designer Becca McCharen of Chromat and partners the line with MAC and the CFDA/Vogue fashion Fund — the Council of fashion designers of America, which is a non-profit that hosts a yearly contest for new and up-and-coming designers that awards funding and supplies opportunities for service mentoring. Becca was one of 2015’s CFDA finalists.
Feminine power and athleticism characterize Chromat’s clothing to me, and the clean lines in their swimwear and lingerie inspired me today, so that’s what I went for in this look. I did shimmery royal blue cat eye, which I then accented with orange and teal lids and a bold, bright aqua blue pout.
Oh, and teal glitter brows! Because, as you know, in the future, everyone wears glittery brows… OBVS.
A makeup tutorial with royal blue cat eyeliner, deep orange lids and bright aqua lips
First, ‘ze eyes!
I like to do the eyes first, because with glitter and blue eyeshadow, chances are you’ll end up with fallout on your face, so I suggest doing your eyes first, then cleaning up any stray flecks with a makeup wipe before following up with your face makeup.
1. Pop a pair of false lashes on your peepers
Start by applying a pair of false lashes.
Now, I know that lots of YouTube makeup tutorials save this step for last, but I like to do it first, because the lashes help me figure out how high up I can take my crease color, and how far out I can take my cat eye flick.

2. build your blue cat eyes
Begin building your cat eyes by mapping out the shape with a blue gel eyeliner, and don’t worry for a second if it doesn’t look purr-fect! — because you’re going to layer shimmery blue eyeshadow on it anyway.
I took my line from the inner corner all the way out to the outer corner on my upper lash line, and then just from the mid-point out to the outer corner on my lower lash line.
Bright metallic blue MAC Chromat pro Longwear Fluidline in Aeros Blue ($17) topped with the Veluxe Pearl Eye shadow in Blue Black from the Eye shadow X 6/#Chromatbabe incredibly pack palette ($32). I used the 263 small Angle brush ($20) to apply both.
After you’ve built out the general shape, intensify the blue by loading an angled brush with a shimmery blue shadow, spraying it with makeup setting spray, and layering the wet shadow directly on top of the blue gel liner.
I like to do the liner before the eyeshadow because, again, it lets me tell how far into the inner corner, and how far out to the outer corner, to take my crease and lid colors.
3. Carve out the crease with orange eyeshadow
Next, carve out your crease with a satiny orange eyeshadow, and then blend out the edges.

4. Lay down a few layers of teal-blue duochrome shadow on your lid
Complete the eyeshadow by dipping a flat brush into a bluish green duochrome and applying a couple layers on your lids. Next, blend out the edges. Then, wet that same flat brush with a makeup setting spray, load it with a lotMer Bluish Green Shadow, og pakk den våte skyggen på den nedre delen av lokkene dine for å skape en subtil gradient.

5. Tettlinjen din øvre og nedre vannlinjer med en dyp marinefôr
Jeg er ganske sikker på at du allerede vet hvordan du gjør dette, men her er noe som gjør det mye lettere for meg: Kjør poenget med blyanten din over baksiden av hånden din et par ganger først for å myke og varme det før du sender deg vannlinjer.

6. Fyll inn dine penner med Teal Glitter
Pensle en glitterlim i brynene dine, og pakk så mye (eller så lite) teal glitter på dine bryn som du vil.

7. Fullfør øynene dine ved å belegge nedre visker med blå mascara
Og virkelig stå opp i de røttene!

8. Etter å ha fullført resten av utseendet
Ryd opp noen svake flekker som endte opp på kinnene dine eller andre steder med en sminke, tørk deretter ditt fundament, conceander og pulver. Etter det vil du ønske å gjøre leppestiftet før bronzeret ditt – igjen for å bedre måle hvor mye farge å sette på kinnene dine – så bruk din blå leppestift, så feie bronseren på kinnene dine (jeg hopper over rødme denne gangen Fordi jeg tror det er en liten Ott kombinert med øynene og leppene).
Det endelige utseendet
Det endelige utseendet er litt der ute og gal, jeg vet, men det kan ikke være der ute for deg hvis dette er noe du vanligvis vil ha på en tirsdag, lol! Hvis det er litt for mye for deg, skjønt, bare endre det. Du kan hoppe over glitterbrynene, for eksempel, og bytte den blå leppen for rødt for å skape noe fet, men fortsatt helt bærbart.
