which ben nye neutrals did you recommend?
I know I've been MIA but when I did wear makeup last Month I did punk cotoure (sp), Feed the Senses, a purple gloss from PC and the PC palette, and a purple from the Kat Von D holiday palette. Great details huh? LOL
I also meant to quote you Sage when you said you wear biscuit under your MJ powder. WHat do you mean? WHere do you put it?

I bought KVD lipstick in A-Go-Go. I have a thing for bright orange lipstick and will have to restrain myself from wearing it to work. Lol. Surprisingly I held off on buying the blush. I'm going to try to wait until the VIB sale coming up.
Hey Prettypackages, Glad to see you back! I love the Korres primer. It works with all of my foundations (oil/water/silicone based). For me. It works better than Nars oil free primer and MUFE #4 primer, which I also have. I highly recommend it. Maybe you could pick up a sample before th next sephora sale?

I looked it up...wow that's gorgeous! Love me some orange makeup!!! Awesome color for you!!!
Refresh my memory - biscuit what? I'm sorry - I can't find the post. I last wore the MJ powder with the Genius Gel foundation and MAC NW 45 concealer. Was this prior?

OK.... I FINALLY got around to rockin this March Theme today! Please excuse some of the fading in the pics (and my crazy brow!)... I had this on for most of the days before getting around to snapping some pics for you ladies. I am excited to be on my low-buy because (along w this thread) it's really helping me shop my own stash more! I used products today that I haven't touched in FOREVER! YAY! It's helped that I have all my makeup organized now too... so I can easily SEE and access evereything I have... instead of digging around and not really knowing what I had.
Here it goes... I did the neutral eye with the pop of green on the lower lashline I had suggested earlier. I think it's referred to as a reverse smokey eye. Makes wearing green very wearable for everyday. And I love how the different greens made my brown eyes pop!
FACE:
Smashbox CC Cream
MAC PLW Concealer (NW20) under my eyes
MAC Forever Marilyn Beauty Powder to set under eye concealer (LOVE this product for that!!)
MAC How Beautiful Beauty Powder as a glowy, subtle bronzer
MAC Melba blush
EYES:
Loreal Infallible Amber Rush all over lid & blended lightly up into crease
MAC Soft Brown to blend out crease
MAC Brun to darken outer v
MAC Shroom for brow highlight & inner tear duct highlight
MAC Mystery eyeliner smudged on lower lashline and on bottom waterline
MAC Sharp (bright green from MAC's Tempting Quad) to smudge out Mystery and below Mystery on the bottom lashline
MakeUp ForEver Smoky Extravagant Mascara
LIPS:
MAC Dervish lip liner
MAC Miss Ross lipstick (HELLO! Forgot I even had this!)
Smashbox lipgloss in Pop over lipstick

You are gorgeous! I cannot take my eyes off your eyes. You are right about how the reverse smokey eye with the green liner brings out your eyes. I might try this tomorrow night.

Awwww thanks sweetie! Definitely give it a try! I liked how the 2 different greens ended up looking against each other too. The liner was a jewel-toned green and the eyeshadow I used to smudge it out was a bright yellow-lime green... Had no idea how it was going to end up!! So, don't be afraid to try some kooky combos on that bottom lashline! Please share your version!!

So, so stunning Pixie!!! I absolutely love this reverse smokey eye. As you noted, the theme approach does encourage use of products that we forgetOK....

to reach for. I'm eager to try this, probably tomorrow, but I think I'll use my Naked Dark & Deep Dark cause they can use some love for a change. So glad you
included the pics! JUST BEAUTIFUL!!!
