Theme Makeup with a Purpose
This thread was born of the Cancer Awareness through the Beauty of Color exercise. At the end of the challenge the participants, having had so much fun sharing makeup looks using pink eye shadow, lipstick, blush and nail polish for October, wanted to continue their exchanges.
The concept of this exercise is first & foremost to have fun. Creating makeup looks while using our stash products will allow us to make room for amazing new items, or if so desired, renew makeup that we just love and are compelled to repurchase.
A ‘theme’ would encourage us to target particular colors to use from our stash. In so doing, we would use product faster. So, for the remainder of November the theme would be 'FALL'. Fall encompasses many colors and you get to use the fall colors of choice from your stash. The parameters of this exercise are loose & flexible because this should be enjoyable and minimally restrictive. Also, you would decide the adjunctive products, like paint pots, fluidlines, foundation, etc., to use for a month that you need or want to deplete.
A theme will last for a month and the next theme will be announced at the end of the current month. On a weekly basis we can post the look that we liked the best, during the previous seven days. Therefore, Monday would be our ‘favorite look day’. Those who wish to post photos can do so, but simply listing the products used in your favorite look is fine. Please also share your progress, the products you have used up and what you purchase if you 'back-2-MAC'. I hope you’ll join in this exercise.... a bit of focus on colors that will help us to move product, make room for new product, share ideas for makeup looks, and have fun in the process!

But I won't be using "fall" colors because it's summer in South Africa so I'll just be using colors appropriately depending on weather, outfit etc etc...
