Pat McGrath Labs Mothership III Subversive challenge

Last week’s challenge was to use the Pat McGrath Labs Mothership III Subversive Palette and it was so much fun! I managed to do 5 different looks and there’s so many more I could try.  This was the third week of the challenge so make sure to check out my posts for Mothership I and Mothership II.

Look 1

Using my finger I swept Gigbyte across the outer two thirds of my lids then swept VR Pink on the outer third. Using my finger I popped Astral Ghost Orchid on the centre of my lid and in the inner corner. I used a brush to blend Deep Shade into the crease and used Skinshow Fever as a brow highlight

On my cheeks I used the Golden Highlighter Stick and Fenty Beauty bronzer in Coco Naughty.

Look 2

Using a damp brush I patted Black Metal all over my lid. When that was dry, using a wet brush I popped Blitz Amethyst into the inner corners and inner third of my lid. When that dried, I used my finger to smudge in some Blitz Amethyst dry to blend out the line between the two shades. I used Deep Shade in the crease and Skinshow Fever as my brow and cheek highlight. I decided I needed to go full smokey so I deepened the outer corner crease colour with Xtreme Black.   I used Xtreme Black PermaGel Ultra Glide Eye Pencil on the lower waterline and on the lower lashline.

For my brows I used my Bobbi Brown eye pencil in Mahogany and Shavata Brow Tamer Gel and finished my eyes with Lancome Hypnôse Mascara.

I added cheek contour using Fenty Beauty Coco Naughty and I used Pat McGrath Labs Bronze Pigment as blush, applied with my hands!

On my lips I decided to go for 1980 PermaGel ultra lip pencil and Lip Fetish Lip Balm in VR Astral.

Look 3

I love this palette so much! This time I applied Night Creature wet all over the lid and popped Astral Ghost Orchid wet, then dry into the inner corner. For the crease I blended in Lazarus and used Skinshow Fever as my brow and cheek highlight. I placed a tiny bit of Xtreme Black across the upper lashline to hide my mascara mess! I lined my lower lashline and waterline with Shade.

On my cheeks I also used Sublime Finishing Powder in Medium Deep to contour and I patted a tiny bit of BlitzTrance Lipstick in Blood Rush onto the apples of my cheeks for a flush of colour.

Look 4

I decided to keep it simple for this look. I used my finger to swipe Gigabyte all over my eyelids then lined the lower waterline and lashline with BlitzBlue PermaGel Ultra Glide Eye Pencil. On the upper lashline I used Perma Precision Liquid Liner and added mascara.

Look 5

Gigabyte is a spectacular gold but on this day I decided to try it against the original Pat McGrath Labs gold – Gold 001. I swept Gold 001 onto my eyelids then I used Gigabyte wet on the lower lashline so I could compare them. Gold 001 is very yellow and Gigabyte is a blackened yellow. To tie in with that I lined my lower waterline with Xtreme Black PermaGel Ultra Glide Eye Pencil and upper lashline with Perma Precision Liquid Liner and mascara.

For my cheeks I decided to use my MTHRSHP Subversive La Vie en Rose: Rose Risque on the apples of my cheeks, Pale Fire Nectar as my highlighter and I touch of Paranormal to take the pink down a notch!

On my lips I used PermaGel ultra lip pencil in Supernatural all over and slicked Lust: Gloss in Dare to Bare over the top. I’ve decided that’s a winning combination that will get repeated! 

I’m so excited for the next challenge – It’s the Pat McGrath Labs Mothership IV Decadence Palette!
