Amen to that sisters! Makeup is about what YOU think looks good on you and what you're comfortable wearing! Everyone has different tastes and therefore so many opinions. Everyone is beautiful and has a right to do what makes them feel most beautiful! And if that means dunking yourself in a barrel of glitter then so be itSage, bring on the shimmer shimmer lol
Wow---really pretty colors!!!
Awesome Glammy! I see you went with Samoa Silk. Did you like the outcome? I sounds really beautiful!
Okay Pretty.
Thanks Medgal!
I love Samoa Silk, such a pretty color and it blended really nicely, only thing I would change is use another color paintpot under it, because Groundwork was a bit too dark so it didn't show up as much as I wanted it to, so next time I'll probably go with something like Soft Ochre.
Glad work is going well MissTT. I agree---the neutral eye is so easy and doesn't require much thought or work! Ablaze holds up pretty well forI've been wearing neutral eyes as well simply for the ease of things. I'm always running late.I did try a neutral cut crease last Sunday and it was okay. I didn't end up getting it fully finished; thought I'd have time to do it at work, but I barely had time to get my lipstick on. I'm going to bring out Ablaze as I've neglected it for a few weeks. Thanks for the reminder. Based on the eyes you paired with the lips I may do something similar w/ my Rimal Dahabia quad (which i am wearing today.) It's actually tough to do my makeup for Sephora. The eyes are where I should be doing it up, but I honestly just don't have the time. It's easier to do a bold lip. The lips, however, seem to wear out quickly b/c we are talking all day long. No one wants to see crackled lips and white ickies from the gloss.Well since you put it that way!!!! I'm certain Ablaze won't hold up for 5 hours. I'm really not in the habit of checking my face either. I feel like the makeup bar is now set a little higher, but I don't have time to achieve the looks I want.
I need to pull out my purple shades too, they haven't been getting any love for a while now. Thinking of doing a really smokey brown eye wit a dark purple lower lashline. Will try and do it this weekend and post it. Miss TT, I think Saddle and Swiss Chocolate make perfect transition colors. Also for an inexpensive alternative, the Sleek Storm palette has the prettiest colors overall but the brown matte shades make really good transition colors. I've had my palette for a while now and I reach for it ALL the time!SADDLE - that's the other color I was trying to remember! Thanks Glammy Girl!Lovely look Sage!
This look sounds pretty. I would wear a pretty sheer, innocent pink lip with that.Well ain't that the way it goes? As I was walking to my office this morning a jogger told me he liked me dress.This dress was literally trash. I had thrown it on the floor of my closet to be thrown away b/c it was faded and pilled. Too fuzzy to even donate. It was on the floor for months and I decided to wear it today b/c I wouldn't see anyone. Go figure. Now yesterday my dress was cuuuuuuutttttte! And guess what I got? Crickets... Oh well, made me smile this morning and feel good.

Any shade recommendations you think would go with this purple-eyed look? Sephora-sold recommendations would be great b/c I can just apply when I get there.
And your eye look sounds so pretty. I've been meaning to do something different with my makeup lately but have just been wearing neutrals so nothing to post about. Love the purples you used though
BronzyI've been slapping on Eclair p/p most of this week. And holy cow that YSL lippie is hot. It reminds me of Scarlet Ibis, though, which I am too chicken to wear. However, since I will be wearing almost all black at Sephora it will be much easier for me to work. That's it; it's decided! I'm just going to go through my lip drawer and force myself to wear a new lippie each time I go to work. So far I've done it easily, but I'm going to consciously do it so I can wear everything in public. Some lippies have never seen the light of day.
Today I just repeated the same Rimal Dahabia eyes I did yesterday: Shroom - inner 2/3 lid, Beautyburst outer 1/3 lid, Najm el Lail crease, Soft Brown - transition. Groundwork p/p as the base. I used Buxom Hold the Line waterproof eyeliner and I have to say so far it's better than Urban Decay liners. I've been finding the UD liners to bleed throughout the day. I couldn't use mascara b/c get this: I accidentally overcurled one eye and the lashes folded over onto themselves.I've never had that happen. I was testing a new curling technique and I guess it works. On my cheeks I'm wearing Ripe for Love. As a base I'm using Hourglass products Veil Mineral Primer (ashy so beware) and Immaculate Liquid Powder Foundation in Sable. I spritzed w/ UD All Nighter spray applied the cheek and eyes and then spritzed with All Nighter again. After spritzing I realized I'd forgotten to powder. I used Ben Nye Topaz because the foundation is a bit too beige on me. On my lips I'm wearing... nothing; just nipple balm. I have to work tonight so I'm trying to make my makeup last for 14 hours. I'll apply Ablaze when I leave the office. Trying to keep my lips perfectly moisturized and smooth in the meantime.
