Cancer Awareness Through the Beauty of Color

[CartoonChic]

Medgal, I also would love to see pics of your looks, they all sound sooooo beautiful and I love your creativity but I'm also camera shy

so I understand

But I love reading your makeup looks, maybe after October we should start another thread and continue posting our looks whenever possible because posting everyday can get a bit much

I'm the exact same way! It took a lot of courage for me to use my picture as my avatar. There are many here who post their pictures so easily and I admire that they can do that. I've come close to posting a makeup look a couple of times, but then shy myself out of it. I've always felt that I don't photograph well and I have way too many pictures that prove that point. I'm just not comfortable in front of a camera and it shows.

I haven't been wearing makeup at all for the past week or so, but I started again yesterday.

You have no reason to be shy, you are beautiful

Oh wow, thanks so much for that. You just made my day!

Medgal,

Do you like Brown Down e/s?

I'm not that tickled with it.

I like it with other shadows. For me, it's a suitable layering shade.

Thanks glammy girl. Posting everyday takes effort...could you imagine the challenge of adding a photo to it? To post the details of my PLOTD is easy. I just copy and paste the day before, and then add what I wore for the current day. I leave my products out until I've posted here because I often create the look on the fly and forget what I used.
I love trying different looks and would love to try some that others here would care/dare to share.

Ditto! Also CartoonChic, I'm not a pro at applying makeup. I do okay for myself but I also worry that someone will think I've done a lousy job. I'm working at it, it's fun but I'm hardly ready for the 'Big Leagues.' I just don't have the guts!

Hi there CartoonChic! I hope you're feeling better!!! How are you liking Outrageously Fun? That's on my pre-order list. Do you give it the thumbs up??

 

[Medgal07]

You are quite welcome! My sister is also wearing pink too so that helps.

INDEED!!!!!

 

[Medgal07]

You have no reason to be shy, you are beautiful

wholeheartedly CartoonChic but I understand and share your sentiments. We see ourselves differently than others tend to.

I give Outrageously Fun two thumbs up!

I keep describing it as a pink Up The Amp. I also tried Flight of Fancy lipglass over it and it's really pretty. I think it's worth getting.

 

[Medgal07]

Um, you use more than two eye products, you use pigments, you highlight and sculpt your face, and you change your nail polish everyday. That's the Big Leagues in my book.

LMAaaaaaaaaOOOO. No no no no no....you have heard the expression 'fake it til you make it'? I enjoy experimenting and I have learned a lot. I owe it all to YouTube!!!!

I will definitely keep Outrageously Fun on my list! Thanks for the recommendation.

YUP! I agree! I think I look funny in pictures so I don't like to post or pose for them either.

I am truly the epitome of shy - I'm very introverted.

I guess that's why I like forums so much - the anonymity of it all!

but I so love the chatting. Not only do I have a stash of makeup, but I have this terrific stash of friends who share my obsession. It doesn't get any better than that!
