Beautiful on you

 

[Medgal07]

You ladies are really rocking Daddy's Little Girl---- SO PRETTY---Michelle79 & Fatifleur.

Argh I can't choose between Cream Soda and Flatter Me.

I'm starting to think that maybe I should skip both.

When in doubt, always get both!!!

:agree:   hopefully you'll have your new one soon...but in the meantime - you could try repressing the bits of your first one (even though it wont be quite the same), or perhaps pulverized powder could go in a sifter? it's great that they're sending you a new one!

I'll try repressing. I'm still sad tho. Poor hearts that I can't even tell existed. I hope it works. There's powder everywhere in the compact. It even got into its box. I saw that and was shit its busted. Sure enough. I hope there no problem w the second one. I got enough going on already. Thank u for the advice.

Sorry for the silly question. But I just pirchased FM and I'm wondering how WOC (nc45ish) are wearing it. As highlight? All over glow? Thanks in advance

 

[2browneyes]

I skipped both Black Poodle and Magic Spells pigments because I have Later p/g, Young Punk MES and Moonlight Night p/g.

I have Later and Moonlight Night as well. Thanks!

Messy hair and in PJs. I always get my face ready first! Here's what DLG looks like on me. Btw.. This is my first ever post with my pic. Not much of a picture taker

Girl, those jammies are cute & DLG is pretty! It does look a lot like Seductive Intent! Looking at this pic makes me want a backup! *drools* Haha, thanks for feeding our MU Addictions! lol

 

[Miss Dynamite]

I said I was done, but I want the pink Betty pigment...

Get it, it's gorgeous! I've been looking for a pink like this for a long time.

 

[martiangurll]

What are you ladies pairing DLG with to bring out the purpley goodness? I have Vino and guess I contemplate getting Nightmoth but is there an NYX dupe of Nightmoth? This thread is really making me develop a lemming for the CMD pigment and FSG gloss as well, eek!

I'm NC50/MM 7.5 and I used it as a highlight/all over cheek. Haven't tried it as a all over glow yet. HTH =]

Noooo I want to get less. :haha: I'm doing a good job actually, buying less and getting rid of a lot things. And thanks everyone who responded! Flatter Me it is. :flower:

 

[kimibos]

i wore prom princess, DLG and lucky in love pigment with mixing medium eyeliner!

i love everything! the betty pigments are just gorgeous! they are my first pigments and just love them!

 

[kaira]

You look very pretty!! I think DLG looks very nice on you

[kaira]

Thank you for posting these swatches!

From left to right:

Ronnie Red, Absolute Power, and Love Goddess

(I tried taking the pictures in diff. lighting, I apologize for the quality of my photo's)

Based on my hand swatches, I think they're all different enough to own them all. I'm not sure if their difference comes across the photo's but in person, I can see the difference.

Ronnie Red and Absolute Power could probably be in the same color family, but they're not the same shade.

I actually haven't worn Ronnie Red so I'm not sure how it looks once applied to my lips, but I do know that Absolute Power pulls more pink on me.

Oops, post below somehow got in here twice

OK, i'm a day late. But here it is, as promised, Veronica's Feelin' So Good Lipglass and Venomous Villains Wrong Spell. Also starring Styledriven Dark as Night Pro Longwear Lipglass. Wrong Spell is a browner plum, Dark as Night is a deeper bluer plum, and Feelin' So Good is a bit pinker with a bit less glitter than the other two.

Left: Wrong Spell; Center: Dark as Night; Right: Feelin' So Good

well if you can't repress it, i would pop a powder out from another compact and just use the archie casing. as long as it's a MAC powder it will fit. (except MSF, unless they are low enough). there are videos on youtube how to do it

Well, if her parents are not Anglo, it's possible that there's a non-British cultural reason.

For example, turquoise (gem) jewelry is considered apotropaic (protective, warding off evil) in many cultures on several continents. If the parents can't afford jewelry, perhaps that's why the turquoise eye shadow.

And if she was sick - either she was or a relative, being in a hospital - it's possible the other makeup was to make her look very healthy to fool off what was making her (or her relative) ill.

There are a lot of cultures in the Middle East and South Asia in which people put eyeliner (originally kohl or antimony) on small children (female and male) because it is believed to keep away eye disease.

None of this makes putting makeup on a 6 month old a safe or healthy thing to do. I do not approve of it, but it makes it more understandable.
