GN Loves...Debra Macki Cosmetics


Debra Macki Cosmetics is the official makeup line of Miss Massachusettes USA, Miss Massachusettes Teen USA, Miss Vermont USA, and Miss Vermont Teen USA. (to the left is a picture of Miss Massachusettes Teen USA 1999, wearing Debra Macki cosmetics). The cosmetics are designed by Boston based makeup artist Debra Macki. This month, I am reviewing two of her products: eye shadow and cyberdust.

Debra Macki Eye Shadow: The two colors I reviewed are "Totally Naked" (a subtle banana-peach color) and "Tinsle Town" (a rich, smoky grey). Tinsle Town has very tiny particles of glitter, which only show up when the light hits your eyelid just right. Perfect for the girl who wants to try glittery eye colors without looking too made up. I did notice that when I applied it with my brush, a few flakes of color ended up under my eyes - so make sure to put a tissue on your cheek while you are applying the shadow (I only had this problem with Tinsle Town, not Totally Naked). The color stayed on my lids all day, even though I splashed my face with water at one point. When it was the end of the day, it wasn't stubborn and came right off with my cleanser. Totally Naked is very subtle and brightens up your eyes a bit when you you smudge some all around your eye.

Debra Macki Cyberdust: The cyberdust are shown in 3 colors in this picture (the three colors I reviewed): "Champagne Bubbles," "Tiara," and "Ice Princess."  Champagne Bubbles (upper left of picture) has a slight golden color. Tiara (middle of second row of picture) has a slight pink color. Ice Princess (upper right of picture) is pure white. All of these have a major shimmer factor! The pots are only about  1.5" (about 3.5cm) but a little dab will go very far - trust us! Be careful when opening up the pot, if there is some dust in on the sides of the lid it can get on your hands.  This dust can also be used to add some shimmer to your shoulders. This stuff stays on ALL DAY!
