Smoky eye/Nude Lip Look

SKIN
Oil Control Lotion and Prep + Prime Natural Radiance
FACE
Matchmaster 7 foundation
MSFN Dark (too deep for my skin, no?)
Mineralize Concealer NC45
CHEEKS
Style blush (coral-peach w/ gold) *would have never picked up a frost blush, but wow!
EYES
Groundwork Paintpot (taupe) - full eye
Blackground Paintpot (grey black) - lid
Smut e/s (black w/ red shimmer) - smoked on the lid
Texture e/s (peachy brown) - above crease
Arena e/s (gold-peach w/ pearl) - browbone/highlight
Spiked brow pencil (dark brown)
LIPS
Pure Zen l/s (warm nude)
Mad Cap l/g (beige w/ pearl)
Hodgepodge l/l (light-med brown)

I was very pleased with this look. My eyes and cheeks looked SO pretty. I was a little unsure about the lips as I've never really done a nude lip, but my man thought I looked amazing so that's all that really matters. This will be one of the rare pics I post publicly lol. It's the end of the night and we're in a hotel room so weird yellow lighting, lipstick eaten off, and more shine than I'm comfortable with. Also, undereye was not lightened, not sure what's up with the photo.



Ugh, wish you guys could see the eye work and cheeks up close. It was beautiful. I was running really late so didn't get a pic fresh-faced with detail. Next time...

wow! really beautiful! i love the cheeks! and the eyes!
i've swatched style a few times on my hand but this is nudging me towards giving it a closer look!

 

[MissTT]

aradhana - Style had enough shimmer that we didn't even have to apply the highlight we pulled. It was a beautiful gold shimmer. It worked well since my skin was matte. (Well, before the shine/radiance broke through.) Btw, I don't know if my skin is glowy b/c of my tendency to be oily or b/c of the P+P Natural Radiance.

Hey guys! I know I've been MIA for a while, been going through some medical issues. I know we all initially started out in the Breast Cancer thread so I thought I would share this with you guys. I just found out yesterday that I have to have a lumpectomy. My lumps are not cancerous though but have to be removed because of their size. Going back to hospital tomorrow to finalize dates of my surgery. I'm really scared, not sure what to expect. If anyone knows anything about a lumpectomy or had a family member go through it, any advice will be appreciated... Thanks guys

 

[MissTT]

Wow, glammy, I hope everything goes as well as possible for you. Definitely thinking about you.

My Thoughts and Prayers are with you glammy! Make sure you update us on how you're feeling in the weeks to come.

Glammy Girl, I certainly understand your fear--particularly of the unknown. I had a bilateral mastectomy, but never a lumpectomy. Being in the medical field I could tell you what it entails but you must ask your providers to tell you exactly what to expect because practices differ regionally, and you don't want to be misinformed. Echoing those who have already responded, our thoughts and prayers are with you.

 

[Medgal07]

Miss TT you are absolutely stunning.

The look is pretty and very natural. I'm so glad you shared. A smokey eye and nude lip is my 'default' look. When in doubt that's what I do. I hope you were able to get the Hodgepodge lip liner. Does this mean you'll be venturing into nude lipsticks? If so here are a few of my fav MAC nudes that I think would work with your coloring; Siss, Peachstock, Viva Glam Gaga II, Velvet Teddy, just to name a few. BTW, did you purchase some of the products that were used?

D-I-V-A! Look at you working it. I love that you posted a pic. You look fabulous. Love the look.

I haven't been wearing any makeup for quite a while. A mix of laziness and being too busy. I think the last time I did my makeup was to match my Lillibet's Jubilee mani. I don't think I came back to post the look, and now I don't remember it. You and MissTT are encouraging me to pull myself together and to do a look... and to post a pic. I didn't buy all this makeup for nothing!

Hi Glammy,
As a healthcare provider I have to encourage you to be strong and make anyone and everyone explain to you what will be done to your body. It is your right! If they can't/won't, go somewhere they do. I will be praying for you and look forward to you posting again.
