Theme Makeup with a Purpose

[Calla88]

Naomi, here's a pic from the car , sorry I was having a tough time capturing my makeup with the exception of my lipstick! Which is flamingo
and now a swatch because I'm not sure you can see the bronzer in this picture
This bronzer is a bit darker in person the flash is kinda washing it out and without the flash it's a bit too dark! I hope this helps.

Damn woman... we need to stop sharing this brain! I wore an EC shadow toady too! I wore Pure Flash. I heard they are coming back possibly... I'd love to grab a couple more!
Flamingo!!! First time around I let mine go, didn't think I'd like it. Second time around, I gave it another shot and now I love it. Thank goodness it's perm... it's a great staple Spring shade!
Your look is gorgeous!

Really!? I don't know if I like it or not... since I skipped it. I could send you an empty for your B2M bag if you send me NS... that way you aren't out a B2M... OR I would be happy to purchase it from you. Either way, I'd love to try it! Thanks!

And OMG... I got that a LONG time ago and it was sooooo awful! Got it from a co-worker. I had a very serious case of it too. I had a tongue ring at the time and had to remove it cause my tongue swelled up so bad that it was riping thru my tongue! Your poor baby! Even a mild case of that has to be hell for that sweet little thing! I hope she feels better really soon. I remember that damn thing hanging around forever! It felt like needles in my mouth!


Every time I think I see a favorite look of yours... you post a new one! So I'm just gonna say I love them all!
Party Parrot is one of my all time favorite bright lippies... Think I'll wear it this week too! YAY!

Thanks Pixie! I bet this looks gorgeous on you! Yay for more Electric Cool shadows, you know I will be grabbing a bunch right along with you. Pure Flash is a pretty color ! As for the brain sharing lets see what tomorrow brings lol even though I'm tempted to use Pure Flash since it's back on my radar again and you can't go wrong with it!

 

[Starlight77]

thank you so much! She's doing much better. that is way too organized for me LOL I am better off not knowing for sure   yes pink lipstick is my weakness. oh and blushes too. i'm a blush hoarding addict for sure :haha:

I am glad to hear that your little baby is doing better A blush hoarder too lol I see ))) Makeup of the day :

RN summer 2014 es palette Chanel Inimitable ( mint, summer 2013 ) Nars Niagara ( no blush today )

Yes a big time blush hoarder lol. Sadly I can never use them all up but there are none I'd part with lol And thank you! She is still sick but back to her old self.

 

[Starlight77]

honestly i don't like NS. too neon for me. yours if you want it just pm me! was gonna back 2 mac it. thank you. she's doing better. she caught hand mouth foot disease from my son's school poor thing. luckily it's not that bad. she has a very mild case (it's a rash) just very contagious.

Really!? I don't know if I like it or not... since I skipped it. I could send you an empty for your B2M bag if you send me NS... that way you aren't out a B2M...

[/quote] Yes it's not fun but I caught it in time so it didn't spread. It's only on her hands which I have in baby mittens. She has one on her forehead. None in mouth or feet THANK GOD! they said if I can keep the mittens on her she won't break out anymore. It's been 5 days and most are gone so I think we were crazy lucky. REMOVING THE PICTURE. TOO MANY PM'S LOL. My B2M pile. Sad but true. Most aren't worn only swatched. Sad sad waste of money. I could try to sell them but for like $5-7 but it's just not worth the boxing, shipping, driving to Post office effort. You should see my pile of special packaging ones untouched

Thank you! I also have a little bin with everything tossed in! I love that $1 section at Target, they always have so many adorable/useful things. If I hadn't set everything apart though, I'm sure I wouldn't be keeping up with the challenge. Half the fun was planning for me, and if I end up doing little/no makeup, I at least throw on a lipstick!

I'm the basket lady

I use baskets for everything. I'm like you---I have to plan or I miss out on goods that I have that could use a little love.

 

[MandyVanHook]

Also Pretty, if you have the MAC split fiber cheek brush you can apply a small amount w/one side and then buff & blend w/the other

I really like the MAC 184 for my super pigmented blushes! I use it whenever I wear Nars Exhibit A or Taj Mahal.

You look smokin :hot:

 

[Medgal07]

thanks pretty packages!

re Ablaze...get it!

for concealers - what are you using to set them? i find my best results are with nars translucent powder or anything superfine, like a beauty powder works too. i use a fluffy brush to do this...like the 286 or the 224. i also find that it helps to apply the actual concealer with a flat brush like the 195, then pat with fingertip to work the product into the skin.

i also saw in one of the mac videos, vimi josh used two different concealers to achieve a longer lasting finish, especially in warm weather/climate. dunno whether that works....


yes you do!!! it's beeeeyooootiful!

LOL! i have loads of reds and pink/fuschia shades. barely any corals or oranges. do we put purples in the berry category? or do they get their own?

i hope your daughter feels better soon!

i'm the same with photos of myself. whether i'm the photographer or someone else is. i usually get people telling me to smile and stuff, but yeah, i find i look pretty goofy when i smile!

i was inspired by your ablaze look the other day, so i wore that lipstick today. i was just going to do the lip/cheek thing, but then after i was finished my makeup i remembered the eyeshadow, so i put a little bit above the crease. then warming trend was in the same palette, so i dusted a little over the lid. i smudged powersurge on the lower lash line and teddy on the outer corner of the lower lash line.

it looked pretty good, but i think ablaze is borderline falling into the green-skin-maker category. i think the ablaze as blush helped me.

I dislike taking pictures. I only smiled in my Avi because I have a few fruity alcohol based beverages in front of me that were responsible for the smile & the glow.

Cheers to wearing Ablaze. That was a cool idea to wear it as blush, as well. I wore MAC Lady At Play today & MAC Meteoric l/g, w/a simple eye look of
Naked Dark Pigment & just a little color peeking out around the transition area (Tom Burnished Amber Quad) & cream shade from that same quad to highlight my
brows; Diorskin Nude Tan, Golden from the Transat collection to my facial high points & Dior My Lady Blush 003 (medium coral).

That's the duo fiber fan brush right Mandy? I like that for highlighting too, because of its shape----fits right atop my cheekbone.
