See Fall's Biggest Makeup Trends with MAC Makeup Artist Victor Cembellin

September 12, 2007

I recently had the luck to meet MAC makeup artist Victor Cembellin. I say "luck" because he's a real sweetheart who clearly loves his work. I asked him to share his thoughts on fall's biggest trends, and he dished on the new looks. If you've ever wanted to know how to apply a good cat-eye with eyeliner, watch this video. Victor was so convincing that I went out and bought the 266 brush he recommended the next day. He's so right—now I am applying my Fluidline like a pro!

Like this? Don't miss this video with Louise Zizzo, another MAC artist!

I've been fooling around with a really dramatic cat eye look the past few weeks and I can never get the "wings" out evenly. I'm going to try his technique. By the way, the MAC fluid line and the 266 brush are awesome! I've been using them for the past 2 years and haven't found anything I like better.

Fluidline is such a great product, I have it in so many colors! I'll even use it as a quick eyeshadow and smudge it all over the lid! MAC has the absolute best hues :)

OK, everyone — you should be able to see the video now! Let me know if it doesn't show up for you. :) And yes, Pepper, Victor is great. He's really talented and so sweet. I remember reading about how Kevyn Aucoin had the ability to make you feel like you were the most beautiful person in the world. Victor's got it, too.

Agreed...the 266 is worth it in the long haul.

The 266 is a good investment, very easy to use.

I bought a cheap version of that brush at Target and it works very well with the Fluidline. I'd really like to try the MAC brush and see how much better it is. :makeup:
