Since we only have a month left of summer why don't we free-form with brights??? Whatever suits your mood/fancy---bright eyes-soft lip; soft/neutral eyes-bright lip; bright eyes-bright lip. I don't mean to be Debbie Downer but before we know it we'll be back into our dark vampy colors. What do you all think???

I am totally down with this - anything left untried from Fashion Sets and Tropical Taboo can be put into rotation this month (that was for my own edification lol). So, does RiRi Woo on the lips count? I am wearing a neutral eye and RiRi Woo....it matches my bright red nails, contrasts against a graphic black-and-white outfit, IJS...

I want to try Guerlains bronzers, but haven't been able to get over the owners comments. I know he had to pay a fine, but still can't do it.
Have you all tried MUFE bronzers? I have one that cracked, just after buying it, so I put it in a sifter jar. I used it once, liked it, but stopped b/c I wasn't sure I was wearing it right.
I keep hearing about this MetalRock.... what in the world did it do?
I'm thinking about taking a break on buying makeup to work on my application. Sometime my concealer and eyeshadow just looks off. The eyeshadow looks muddy, I don't put on enough, and just doesn't work. LOL The concealer.... I'm starting to look like an owl b/c it's too light or I'm not blending properly. LOL
Medgal, I quoted you, but lost it... What concealer do you use? I'm currently using MAC Studio Sculpt concealer.
I missed this, what is our color then?
Oh Pretty, I missed your follow-up question---sorry! I use NC 42----helps to cover my awful dark under-eye circles

TOTALLY! Red always counts Sage! That's so funny! That was my makeup and outfit yesterday--I love red with black & white!!! I'm wanting to wear yellow with black & white so I might do a nude lip & neutral or yel-gold smokey eye, Chanel Mimosa on the nails and a yellow scarf to contrast w/a black & white outfit.
That sounds so perfectly summer.

Smashbox primer
RCMA Foundation in Shinto VI
It Cosmetics ByeBye Undereye Concealer in Deep
Ben Nye Mojave Luxury Powder - Topaz
BN Powder Rouge in Contour No. 3 under cheekbones
BN Powder Rouge in Purple Haze
Eyes (this was actually inspired by Copperhead's avatar pic):
MAC Embark to fill in brows
Sephora Eye Primer
CG Color Tattoo in Electric Blue
BN Pressed e/s in Celestial Bleu on lids (it's cobalt blue - I hear it's supposed to be THE fall color - is this bright enough?)

eta: I don't know why I tried to use the Sephora eye primer again. Now I know why it was on clearance. Four hours in, crease city. I know it's the primer because Color Tattoos do not crease on me used on their own.

hey there ladies hope you've been keeping well!
been a little out of the makeup game of late...
i did end up getting a blush and an eyeshadow from Tropical Taboo that i wore for a few days, but mostly i've been getting up too late/ being too lazy to do much to my face.
anyway it was exotic ember and bossa blue that i got...bossa blue definitely makes me look summer smokey...lol...almost punched in the eye chic...
anyway, so freestyle brights for august? sounds fun!
i'd like to see if i can wear cyy or occ nylon this month....
oh does any of you have a cosmetics fridge, and if so can you give me any recommendations? till now i had mine in a bar fridge, which is at least 3 times too big, but i'm giving the fridge to some friends who just bought a new house, and figured i'd try and find something a little more discreet for my collection. any tips would be welcome!

Great question. I am on the lookout for one as well. I am preparing to move and I need one as well. My plan was to pick up one during the back to school sales. I would love to get a recommendation for a good brand/size.

Love this look! So pretty!
I love blue on the eyes! I also jus recently got some Rimmel Apocalips, they are amazing! I don't have Light Year though.

Check out Stila Stay All Day Liquid Lipsticks, love the formulation of them and they're so opaque! Their shade selection is also good, I'm sure you'll find a MLBB shade. I've got Fiore, a bright almost candy yum yum shade. Soooo pretty :eyelove:

I like the Stila Liquid Lipsticks too (BESO is my FAVE) I. I especially love the matte finish. I just could not find a "nude" for me. I tried patina, muse, and one other one, but I had to work with them to correct them. I still use them, but the rimmel was the first shade I can put on my lips and they are instantly even and pretty - no liner or fussing needed. Now, if the Rimmel liquid l/s had Stila's staying power...it would be LOVE.

That blush combo sounds really pretty.
I don't like UD PP, I liked the one from Nars, recently I've been using the fergie primer. Not as good as the one from Nars. I'll be going back soon.

I'm gonna wear CYY with you.
I got back into wear makeup again b/c of Love and Hip Hop Atlanta. Their makeup artist come up with the best combos. Now the show on the other hand, I can't stand it. But it's been fun playing around again. I've been wearing bold eyes/dark lips, and light summery colors. I have the type of job where I don't think it matters (or I no longer care), so I'm just trying to wear some of the things I have.

Speaking of LHHATL, I was very disappointed in the makeup on the reunion show last night.

silica powder is what MUFE HD powder is. I love it for oil control and keeping the makeup in place in the summer heat. Sorry for the multple posts; my computer at work will not let me multi-quote.
