Dear Apple tech support,

You’re doing everything wrong. I only have 90 days of phone support on an item I bought from you? Wow. I would set this Airport Express on fire and mail it back to you but NO ONE makes anything similar to it, so there’s no competition for you in that area.

Every tech support experience I’ve had with my MacBook and iPod has been fantastic, because you know users can always switch to another company. 

That’s not the case with the Airport Express, so your tech support blows for it AND it only works about half the time. A product doesn’t have to be good if it’s the first and only one on the market, because people still WANT it, and they hope one day you’ll make it better. Unfortunately that won’t happen until there’s competition. Someone please make a competitor to the Airport Express. So that I can turn my wired speakers and printer into a functioning wireless network without having to buy entirely new stuff. That would be awesome. I just want to play music from across the room and occasionally print some forms, but that’s not working right now.

Fuck you, Apple Airport Express. 

Get your act together.

Smoky Blue-and-Pink Wing: MAC Fuchsia and Frozen White pigments

—-

This is a look that should be multi-faceted and contoured. If you have mono-lids, just draw in the crease along your socket line, above the lid crease. This takes a bit of practice to get even but it looks great!

—-

Step 1: Use a flat brush to pack a black base like MAC Paint Pot in Blackground or elf Duo Cream Shadow in Licorice over the entire lid. At the outer corner, draw in a wing following the angle of the lower lash line. For the Dummies’ Guide version to winged liner, click here.

—-

Step 2: Pack a metallic fuchsia pink to the outer halves of the black base. You can use MAC Fuchsia pigment  or  MAC Swish shadow.

—-

Step 3: The next step requires a specific type of shadow; translucent white with a blue duochrome sheen. MAC Frozen White pigment and I Nuovi Star shadow are both very similar, but the I Nuovi is softer and less sparkly as it’s a pressed shadow.

—-

Step 4: Use a charcoal grey like Urban Decay Gunmetal to run along the top of the wing, along your socket line,  using a pencil brush. Then  smoke out just slightly to prevent unevenness. 

—-

Step 5: Apply black liquid liner along the tide line (inner rim of your upper lash line) and also wing out at the outer corner, following the angle of the eyeshadow. The liner runs along half the lash line only, not all the way to the inner corners.

—-

Step 6:  Finish with black mascara, and beige liner along the waterline (I used NARS Rue Bonaparte but Essence has  an affordable beige kajal pencil,  19 All I Want.)
