Theme Makeup with a Purpose

[MissTT]

I'm hoping to have my best look of the week to post tomorrow because I have a hot date. I may even post a pic if I can get my liner to wing right. Anyway, I'm wanting to try and use Feminine Edge fluidline as an eyeshadow. The color is very similar to the dress I will be wearing pictured below. Anyway, I know the model is wearing red lipstick, but I'm not sure if that looks great. What color of lipstick would y'all recommend to match this dress/eye shadow? I'm kind of planning to do a cut crease with FE on the lid and something black/dark above it.



ETA: Haha just realized I'm wearing my hair like hers today.

Hope you have the best time on your date The dress is stunning, you gonna look so pretty.... I like the red lips though, since it is Feb But even a nice nude lip would suit the dress well, maybe Mac Blankety or Cherish... HTH Enjoy...

I love the red lip with that dress too!

 

[MissTT]

Well my HG red is Deeply Adored. Could I wear that with Feminine Edge f/l as my shadow or would that be too much going on?

 

[Medgal07]

Deeply Adored is my perfect red and I love it so much. The only reason I don't wear it more often is because I feel it would be unfair to all of the other lippies I invited into my home. During Marilyn I only backed up Love Goddess b/c folks were saying that was going to be the hit and sadly it kind of bores me. However, last week a very sweet and benevolent Specktrette (who is VERY active in this thread) slipped a Deeply Adored in a package she was sending to me. It was so gracious and thoughtful that I immediately said awwww out loud. This is my favorite part about being part of an online community. Random acts of kindness. Thanks to this generous person I will wear DA more often to honor her.

I haven't stuck to this month's theme because I haven't been feeling pinks, but I did wear Scarlet Ibis today for my red. It looks horrible. Anyway, this month I want learn how to properly do my brows. Or maybe that could be next months theme/goal. I got the DDB gelcreme and 208 brush and have no idea what I'm doing.

That was an awesome RAOK! I uttered an awwww aloud because you'll be wearing "DA more often to honor her." That really so sweet!

Wearing red is totally on track with this month's theme. Actually whatever color evokes feelings of love for you is just fine!
I'm just experimenting with the DDB gel creme too. I used the DDB pencil first and topped that w/the gel creme and I love it!!! There are loads of online tutorials that you might find helpful. I think there might even be a few on the MAC web site. Google and see what comes up. People love sharing what they know.

 

[Medgal07]

I ended up going to my appointment and ended up getting DLG, MM, RR, and I got the designer purple liner but I got it from the perm line saved a buck or two still not sure how I feel about the lippies tho

Oh I hope you like them!

 

[Medgal07]

Well my HG red is Deeply Adored. Could I wear that with Feminine Edge f/l as my shadow or would that be too much going on?

Yes, red & pink do go together. In fact I'm going to try a look like that soon. It's out of my comfort zone but I'm doing it. I think this s a tad after the fact but I hope your date was AMAZING!!!

 

[MissTT]

Nope my date is tonight. Thanks, Medgal. I just realized I'm sitting at home and forgot to pick up some black gel liner when I was out today. It's cold outside and I don't want to run back out just to pick that up. I hope I can get a pencil to work.

What are the chances my BF will pick some up for me. LOL. I actually may ask him since he's out and planning to hit up a store. Better get on my drugstore brands...

 

[aradhana]

have a great time on your date MissTT!!
black pencil should be fine - just set it with black powder shadow if you have it. i think FE will look so pretty with the dress...esp with DA if you decide to go with it...though i think a mauvey tone would work well too...

The pencil liner should be fine, set with black powder eye shadow. I even set my Blacktrack fluid line w/Carbon---that's routine for me. Have a blast on your date MissTT!!

So in honor of pink for February here's my favorite for the week:

Eyes:
Young Venus - all over lid
Albatross - brow highlight
Perversion - eyeliner
Mascara

Cheeks:
Earthshine

Lips:
Mall Madness with plum lip liner.

I loved the way it turned out. The light pink with the super black liner kind of channeled Chanel. Lol.

Forgot to post the look I did on Friday!

Still sticking with the February theme:

Eyes:
Mac Uninterrupted prolongwear eyeshadow on lid (LOVE) NEW

Bewitched from Theodora palette in crease NEW
Carbon to darken up crease
Sephora Prism eyeshadow in Moonbeam as inner eye and brow highlight

MUFE aqua eyes gel liner in black to line top lid
I mixed Dark Diversion fluidline with Bewitched for undereye shadow
Lined bottom lid with Milani Liquid Eye pencil in black
Set with carbon

*my eyeliner was winged to form a cat eye

Brows:
Mac fluidline DDB

Face:
MUFE HD

Lips:

Mac Ruby Woo

Nails:
Sally Hansen (can't remember but it's a soft, pinkish white nude)

It was also my first time wearing falsies. I like them, but I feel I get better volume with my regular lashes, so I'll stick to that.

 

[aradhana]

honybr and vampy both of your looks sound so pretty!

i enjoyed the look i did today -

'i've got a crush on you' crushed pigment over rosemary and thyme kohl pencil all over lid
surf usa along lower lash line and outer corner
plumage to darken crease
vex in inner corner

orange side of dual ended colour corrector here and there
prep + prime recharge here and there
flatter me pearlmatte all over
prom princess on apples

night blooming mattene

it looked something like that face chart we saw in the glamour daze thread...

 

[Medgal07]

That's awesome! And funny at the same time cuz this afternoon I was looking at a picture I took over the summer with earthshine on and don't think it looks that great on my have to dig it out and try it again. So how do u feel about ur Archie's stuff? I'm still very conflicted about getting anything at all feels like there's nothing that really wows me.

Earthshine can be a little tricky. I have to be careful to apply it lightly, even for contouring or it look s too dark, but I LOVE it and use it most often to contour.

 

[Medgal07]

The look sounds really very nice honybr.

I love light/pale pinks with black liner...totally Chanel...just throw on a strand of pearls and bang!!

Absolute awsomeness! You're using your new stuff left & right...way to go. I really enjoy the PLW eyeshadows but I don't get the sense that they got much love. I'll have to try this look with Uninterrupted on the lids. I see you've tried the NLRP! Can you stand it?...it's AMAZING. I'm alternating between that and MAC's Sheer Mystery powder, which I also love. Of all of my MSFs, I find myself reaching for Estee Lauder's Modern Mercury illuminator. I've hit pan on it and I'm kicking myself for not backing it up. It is THE BEST of all of my illuminators, including Chanel.
BTW, I love what you did with your eyeliner too!!!

Today I wore Ronnie Red with MAC's Redd lip liner and liked it much better than when I wore it with Beet.

Thanks Aradhana! I like the look you posted as well! It sounds perfect for the February theme!

Today I wore Ronnie Red with MAC's Redd lip liner and liked it much better than when I wore it with Beet.

Thanks Medgal! I was interested in Uninterrupted when you posted that video, but didn't think it would look good on me. Then I saw Pixiwoo use it in the sepia-toned eyes video and fell in love with it! It is such a gorgeous eyeshadow and really long-lasting like they claim. I pack it on with a 242 and it stays put all day!

I love the NLRP! There's nothing like it!. I've always wanted to try Modern Mercury, but it was all sold out before I could! Do you watch Crystalis007 on YT? She found one at a CCO recently! You should try there!

Your lip combo with Ronnie Red sounds gorgeous! I've had Beet for almost a year and have only worn it once. This thread is inspiring me to pull it out and use it more often. I think I'll try it with Ruby Woo and Love Goddess!

So enjoy coming here and seeing your looks! So since I am a women's health nurse of course I am doing red this week to promote heart health. I wore Fire sing today and got reminded how much I love it, I did a simple every day eye with Brown script, Soft brown, handwritten, and carbon on the outer V. I lined my eyes with balcktrack with a tiny wing used WoG and hidden treasure very lightly on my cheeks. Love the look my husband gave me a "you look so pretty with your red" compliment today with some flowers and a nice lunch.

When I wore Beet with RR it pulled pink, but when I wore MAC's Redd liner it was the most perfect red lipstick ever!
I have watched Crystalis007's YTVs and checked out the most recent one since you mentioned it. I was drooling over that Estee Lauder Modern Mercury Illuminator that she found at the CCO. I would give anything to find another one...well almost...wouldn't pay some crazy price for it on EvilBay. I so wish they would bring it back--best formula EVER!

NICE combination of browns that sounds so perfect with a red lip!!! The look from your husband alone makes it so worth it doesn't it? The flowers and nice lunch isn't too shabby either!!! What a guy!!

I wore AGs Ronnie Red w/MAC's Redd lipliner---sheer love. On my eyes I wore my favorite pigment, Aurora, applied w/ a moistened brush, which makes it look as smooth as silk on your lids. I used Twinks above the crease, Havana in the crease and a dab of Carbon in the outer vee for depth. Loved the eye look but was most impressed w/my Studio Sculpt foundation topped w/NARS Light Reflecting loose powder. My makeup stayed put and looked unbelievable for > 12 hours.

I might try the brown eyes with red lip combo tomorrow. I'm up to wearing makeup ~once a week now. LOL But just splurged in Sephora. (was feeling, fat, and sloppy what better cure).
