Theme Makeup with a Purpose

[Medgal07]

Very pretty.
Love Her Cocoa Quad. I might have to try this as well.... and come to bed red? really? Nice! LOL

I love the sound of your burgundy look!

I might fall back on the pigments. Or get my butt up early to do my makeup instead of doing it in the car....;-) Hey at least I'm starting to plan out my looks .

It really is a good quad. You don't remember Come to Bed Red from the NP thread? I think we all purchased it. It's a really good red.

Don't get anxious about pigment week---we all know pigments are messy and not something you want to do unless time permits.

okay i might go have a look sometime in the near future. i also just saw the review on temptalia of the dark burgundy/charcoal black duo which looks very pretty too, so i might have a gander at the two things at the same time if i can!

I would love it if Guerlain had made a quad out of those duos!!

 

[Medgal07]

sounds purdy!
must have brown cream shadow from spring '13 forecast palette on upper lid
swell baby on upper lid
mauveless as transition shade upper and lower
prim & proper on outer corner and to line lower lash line
girlie on browbone
feline to line lower water line
marc jacobs blacquer mascara
bobbi brown colour corrector in dark peach (under eye)

golden elixir strobe liquid (everywhere)
sweet sentiment blush
msfn medium dark

acid washed lipstick (i added a bit of nacho cheese explosion later to combat the grittiness of AW. pretty colour, but high maintenance. i think it needs to be wiped off completely and reapplied every few hours!)

today:
top soil (from spring '13 forecast palette) on upper lid and just above crease
runway rose (from spring '13 forecast palette) above crease
modern majesty pressed pigment on upper lid and to line lower lashline
cashmere (soft reddish brown) from bare minerals as transition shade and along lower lash line
vanilla bean (pale peachy pink) from bare minerals on brow bone and inner corner
boot black liquid liner to thickly line top lash line with baby cat eye swoop
marc jacobs blacquer mascara

msfn medium dark
sweet sentiment blush to apples
rio mineralize skinfinish to high points


giorgio armani lipwax in mystery shade...(the number wore off the label but it's a tawny rose) <--- perfect mlbb

Love both looks Aradhana!!

 

[aradhana]

so today's look featured some oldies but goodies:

eyes:
metal x cream shadow in ardent (deep aubergine) - upper lid
faux gold mineralize eye shadow - above crease/transition
play on plums mineralize eye shadow - darker side to deepen out corner, lighter half to highlight
fig.1 to deepen outer corner and line lower lashline
marc jacobs blacquer mascara

msfn in medium dark
coffee walnut to contour cheekbones
stratus blush to apples - i used a fan brush and like the effect very much. sometimes this blush is a bit intense using a regular blush brush

i ended up skipping lips today!

Just popping in to post another smokey video. Even though the week is almost over, and she is not as hooded as us (no fold) her video made sense to me.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3iwPjG7yaCQ&index=4&list=PLqsERQSy-x0e7OQ7-EqrQFUmNTnG3Xrw9


Tuesday I wore:

I loved this look, i tend to stay away from purple/pink, but these colors looked nice. These are the purples I should stick with

Triple impact on the lid
Bobbi Brown Taupe Transition. I really love this shade. It reminds me of a chanel notorious in an eye shdaow.
Brow: Shroom, very lightly
crease and lower lash line: Vile Violet


Blush: Desert Rose

Lips: Feed the senses (LOVE THIS COLOR) l/s. liner: Mauve by Sephora. Nice shade match, it's a little darker but it works. Gloss: Chanel 191




Wednesday I did a nude smokey eye? LOL I was too tired to figure anything else out

EYES:
lid Sable
Crease: Rose Cloud
all from Pedro Nude Quad. Love this quad too
Liner: Mufe aqua cream in black
Mascara: L'oreal butterfly. I really like it, almost up there with my Chanel and they're real.

Lips: Frank n Furter. Really nice red. I forgot my liner and this was nice without it.

Blush: corol

Yay Pretty ----2 really great looks!!! Thanks for sharing the video. Looking forward to watching it!!!

I didn't wear makeup today.

I spent the better part of the day fixing my wi-fi connection so that I could backup my devices and activate my cell phone.
Mission accomplished, but what a pain in the butt.

Looking forward to putting my face on tomorrow.

What was wrong with your wifi connection? I only ask because lately mine has been acting up.

Thursday I did a burgundy look. after I had it all on, I wish I had some black to throw in but didn't have it with me.


Eyes:
lid: Crimson Tryst (first time wearing this... it is gorgeous)
crease: Folie (don't really wear this either, but I loved it)
transistion: Haux (don't really wear this either, loved it too)
I wish I had black in the outer corner.
Brow: sweet joy (don't really wear this one either. )
----I might do it tonite.

Lips:
I brought a bunch with me to try, but Hot Chocolate was the best.

Cheeks: maybe seduced at sea. LOL It's what is in my bag, but I don't remember using it. LOL THe other option I brought was Make you Mine, which seemed to dark, so I had to have used SAS.

Face: I'm looking for a new foundation I used a sample of YSL Fusion Ink in b65
Bobbi Brown Deep Peach corrector
Concealer: Maquicomplet Caramel (this might be the winner, I've been having a concealer battle. Nothing works anymore. LOL)
Concealer: to cover the shadow from the bag I have on my right eye. I think this is from lack of sleep and sinuses. Laura Mercier High Coverage Concealer #5.
I normally use the one in the pot in color 5 in the Winter. Right now, they are both too light.
Powder: Nars Light reflecting, which I put on first. Got the tip from Wayne Goss, it really works. LOL Then I dusted a lil in the tzone.

 

[Prettypackages]

This is my issue...I do my mu in car all too often. I will practice getting up earlier. We shall see how this works. I do need to break open some pigments. It has been awhile.

I have a bunch just taking up space in my drawer. I need to do something with them. LOL

You know I honestly think it was weather related but I just couldn't get it to reset. It got very dark, very windy, it rained then it snowed. I just kept at it-----it was very,
very frustrating. All I wanted to do was back up some data and overtime it started backing up the connection was lost. Technology---ugh!

That Crimson Tryst is GORGEOUS!!! Sounds like a very nice look Pretty. So are you saying you put the NARS powder on before your foundation?

yes ma'am. Love the finish and it makes it last. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EyQsVyGadbY


Love your look. I still want that Tom Ford Black Orchid, how does Bruised Plum compare?


I'm am still high from the Stevie Concert last night. I purposely didn't go crazy with the latest collex to buy the best tix, and not the cheap seats, and it was sooo worth it. I almost fell out I was so excited.

I wore the same burgundy look as before and put black in the outer corner, and Bad Girl Gone Good blush. LOVED IT!!! I tried to take a good pic, but I couldn't capture it on my phone. But my girl said my makekup was flawless. Like that's a first for me.

I'm trying. So glad I got video. I tend to hold all feelings inside, I'm glad I let myself "loose". LOL

I recently saw Ed Motta, a Brazilian jazz artist and he was PHENOMENAL. I still think about that concert and wished I had video of it.

I've figured out what I want to be when I grow up. A traveller and concert goer. ;-)


Thanks Aradhana! Let me know when you try that tip.

That's great that you got the concert video---and you're a jazz lover too. I can't even remember the last concert I went to---how pathetic.
