Theme Makeup with a Purpose

[Dominique33]

My look today was easy with a twist. Eyes - Bad to the Bronze my staple color tattoo with MAC's Prussian eye shadow as my liner, after watching Lisa Eldridge talk using your shadows as colorful eyeliners because it softens the ine I've been hooked. Just Benefit's Rockateur as my blush .

My lips MAC's Hey Sailor lip gloss in Cut Loose ( which is a white shimmery color and I lined my lips with NYX Electric Blue liner for a soft light blue glossy lip!

See Naomi we can be creative when we have too LOL

It sounds very pretty Calla ! ( Why I had to skip Hey Sailor, really ! )

Hey Pretty girl, Gingerly looks great on you , I knew it would it is one of my favorites and I love RIO too don't use it enough! I wish RRW looked like that on me!

Thank you!

I don't use Rio enough either and I don't know why. It's VGRIRI, not RRW! Both of which I'm sure would be beautiful on you.

 

[NaomiH]

Beautiful Halle, that lippie was made for you ( like many bright ones as I said ), MSF in Rio is very pretty on you too.

Thank you Dominique!

I don't own Brash but it is a stunning shade. I used to never wear orange lipstick, blush, or eyeshadow. Now I crave it.

Who knew right?​

I found more orange shadows in another one of my custom palettes--Chessa , Star Myth,
Red Brick ( which actually looks bright orange), Farasha & Coppering. I have a Chanel JC blush that's a golden
orange---Chessa looks like it and I think it may actually compliment it. I'm now so excited about some new
possibilities! Add a little black & brown & I'll have a leopard look for our jungle theme.

I love it. I wear blue liner and red lipstick together frequently. I always feel like I'm breaking some makeup rule by doing it, but I like the way it looks on me, so who cares? LOL.

Awesome Mandy!!! Lets break some rules!

I tried it today Mandy----mostly because I don't have go
beyond the front or back patios

 

[Medgal07]

Hmm I've been needing to purchase some earthy tones so this is the perfect excuse!

LOL!

Okay---as long as we're not making you breach any LowBuy aspirations or commitments!

Here's a patriotic look that I hadn't thought of:

Oh that's a pretty look!

 

[Medgal07]

Thanks Meddy and Naomi!

Meddy that Hey Sailor looks sounds fabulous! I have some Hey sailor stuff in my stash I will have to dig it out! I love orange shadows it can really warm up the face! Yes Naomi use you orange shadows since we both have to be creative this month on our July no buy!

I have that white sparkly lip gloss , from Hey Sailor and one from Marilyn which can work with my patriotic looks this week !

Aradhana , that look you posted from Youtube is simple gorgeous now I have someone new to watch! Thanks. I need to label my stuff , because it sucks to wear something and not know what it is, lol I was on the internet over the weekend trying to find the name for a few lippies I had and two eye shadows where the name had rubbed off, because of this I started keeping some of my stash in their boxes but that takes up lots of space.

Mandy my look yesterday was blue liner on a neutral lid with red lips! I like that look too. ETA I checked out the video and that was pretty much my exact look!

Yes Calla, Hey Sailor was a pretty good collex! You have a good plan there!!! I have a red sparkly dazzleglass called Totally Fab. Was that w/Hey Sailor?
It's not B & W stripped though. I'm laughing about all the discoveries we're making & little gems we're finding!

 

[Medgal07]

Oh that sounds really pretty!

You'll have to try it Naomi!

Go Calla

What an awesome look you created there!!! I alway forget about using my e/s to line my lids. I usually just use it to set my lid/gel liner & make it vibrant too. I'm going to start doing that! I'm thinking of all the possibilities now!!! Thanks for sharing that!!!!

 

[Medgal07]

Today's look was quite simple. I used VGRiRi, Gingerly blush and Rio MSF.

Absolutely GORGEOUS Naomi. LOVE IT!!!!!

Absolutely GORGEOUS Naomi. LOVE IT!!!!!

Thank you kindly, Meddy!

HEY! No knocking the no-buy!

 

[Beautybuyer]

HEY! No knocking the no-buy! :haha:

Lol I'm not! I'm just on a don't buy anything stupid. I buy crap because 865557783 people say it's awesome. Or because it's sparkly. I've decided I will by strictly things I'll use, more than once :lol:

 

[NaomiH]

I've decided I will by strictly things I'll use, more than once

Good plan!

 

[Medgal07]

Oh that's a pretty look!

Isn't it? That young lady & video are in a thread that I happened by, right here on Specktra. I have to go over & give her appropriate props because I tried it today:
My eyes were basically the same---Chanel's IDO cream e/s in Mirage on my lids, MAC's Tempting Crease to just below my brow, MAC's Era to my brow bone.
Thanks to ChristinaRosario's tutorial, the difference from yesterday came when I added MAC's Midnight Blues fluid line, winged and topped with MAC's Deep Truth
eyeshadow. I used just a touch of MAC's Bad Girl Gone Good blush and Becca's Opal pressed shimmering skin perfector---basically a highlighter. I'm not good at wings!
Between the lack of skills & my hooded eyelids it turned out ok for a first try. My lipstick is MAC's Prepare for Pleasure which I've never worn before. I like PFP.

If it's sparkly then you can't be blamed for your impulses!
