Theme Makeup with a Purpose

[Medgal07]

Medgal, did I tell you that I bought Rouge Parade lipstick? I just picked it up today. I tried it but it didn't look right because I still had the F-Bomb on. I'll try it tomorrow while I lay in the bed and recuperate from my doctor appointment/clean the house.

AWESOME!!!! ​Oh I hope you love it Meka...and I hope you feel better too!!!

I was getting caught up and was quoting almost everyone, so I scrapped that idea.

Anneri, I'm so glad you're feeling better.
Rouge Parade is on my list too... I'm glad I have some Nordies Notes saved up.

Sage, thanks for giving us a review on the EL DW powder. You gave it the perfect description. One of the reasons why I was hesitant about the new Nars Pressed powder is b/c of how powdery it is in the pan. Great finish though.
How do you like the BB cool palette (*clears throat* been waiting on your palette reviews)

Katred, I was fascinated by all of your looks. That Guerlain palette looks gorgeous. How is the Dior Star concealer. I couldn't find a shade match in that line at all. Oh and that Givenchy color your posted looks different in every pic I saw it in, it's pretty, but I can see how you can't quite put your finger on why it doesn't always work.

Happy Belated Vineetha!

Meddy, you and Katred are killing me with the guerlain lips... killing me! LOL



My eye looks were horrible this week, nothing worth mentioning. I also didn't do full on foundation. I probably looked a mess. LOL But I did enjoy my reds this week.
I forgot which one I wore yesterday, it's still in my bag, I'll pull it out later.
I hope tomorrow is Sunny, I want to do AWS style lip pics.

Meka, I hope you feel better!

Still need to catch up on the thread but I wanted to post my red lip of the day, UD Revolution lipstick in F-Bomb. I've been wanting to try it and got a mini tube with one of my sephora orders. I really liked it. I was bared faced today for an early doctor appointment. Red lipstick made me look halfway decent. Bon weekend!

Ooh, F-Bomb is nice! Hope everything was ok at the appt. [@]Medgal07[/@], I thought it was just a bit redder http://www.coralswithblues.com/nyx-soft-matte-lip-creams-reviews/ (Skin tone close to mine, yay lol)

Hi Everyone, I hope all is well. The toddlers have me running so I am not able to post or read as much. Hopefully it will be different in the next few months. I've missed this thread. Everyone is so nice here!! I will try and post my red lip that I will be sporting for my BDAY tonight. Talk to you all soon

​Truer words were ever spoken!!!! It's only recently that I've purchased anything from Becca------ 4 Becca Highlighters & I really love all but one them. I'm afraid to get
attached to yet another brand. Good luck resisting more Beach Tints---but then why should you?

Hi There Meka. I hope all is well with you. I wasn't familiar with your lippie of the day-----I looked it up and WOW. What a gorgeous red!!!

UD Revolution lipstick in F-Bomb

The Beach Tints are especially tempting because Sephora often has them in mini sets. I have so many cheek products that I can get a lot of use out of even a small tube. At least that makes them a little more affordable!

Today's look, prepared in anticipation of going out a little later:

Face:
UD Naked Skin 1.0
Dior Star concealer (I like it very much and it has good coverage, but Nars is still my favourite)
Mac Prep & Prime finishing powder
Hourglass Mood Exposure blush
Guerlain Cruel Gardenia highlighter (along cheekbones and in the inner corners of my eyes)

Eyes:
Mac Shop & Drop quad (without intending to, I've used two of the three quads from this collection this week)
- Sugar Snack (light cotton candy pink) all over lid
- Power Boost (Reddish purple) outer part of lid and crease)
- Hypnotizing (grey lilac) inner crease and along lower lash line
- Shop & Drop (deep indigo blue) outer corner
Highlight shade from Guerlain Les Bois de Roses (shimmery white pink)
YSL Sea Black gel liner (dark navy blue)
Hourglass Film Noir mascara

Lips:
Guerlain Rouge Automatique "liu" (bright cool cherry red)

This is definitely one of the bluest reds I own, without crossing over into pink territory. Incredible gel-like colour. I'm loving this excuse to wear all my reds. (HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! "All my reds"! As if. I could do the entire month of December in reds and not even dip into the deeper burgundies and vamp shades.)

*SMH* and walking away from the Guerlain reds... that one is beautiful Katred!

 

[Anneri]

Chanel used to have the best reds, but I think that Guerlain has overtaken them in the last couple of years. Wearing another today!



That really is such a lovely red colour. I might wear it tomorrow to round out "red week".

Totally love your look - I'll have to dig out my Shop/Cook palettes again! The Shop & Drop was the only one I didn't get.

This is what I did today:

FACE: Mac CC cream in Adjust, Mineralize Loose Foundation in Light, Artdeco Mineral Concealer & Maybelline Fit Me Concealer (very good dupe for the Nars one), Lightscapade, Bareness MB

EYES: Stolen Moment EDES all over the lid and lower lashline, Kid (transition colour), Espresso (outer crease), Orb (inner corner and under browbone), Black Swan pgl, Kiko mascara

LIPS: Cyndi (VG)

It was also St. Nicholas Day over here, where kids get normally little presents, and Essence had some girls in the city who handed out little gifts - or bigger ones. I got a whole big bag of Essence goodies! I don't normally use drugstore MU, only nailpolish and mascara from time to time, but it all looks very nice and maybe there'll be some surprises in there qualitywise.

 

[awickedshape]

I was packing up makeup to throw out so all I had today was Revlon Colourburst Coral... reddish orange? Lol Tomorrow I'll try do a proper red

 

[Medgal07]

*SMH* and walking away from the Guerlain reds... that one is beautiful Katred!

Oh come back pretty---there's a Rouge G somewhere out there with your name on it!!!!

 

[Medgal07]

I changed it later in the day for Gesina which was really pretty and more theme appropriate. Antigone is a very muted pink on my quite pigmented lips.


Huh, the rest of your quote totally disappeared. But: I'll have to try the Guerlain liquid lipsticks apparently. YES For sure, a must!!!!
And

at your comment about falling off the wagon!

I actually fell today - yeah, I know.

I stumbled over the tram tracks and distroyed my fave pair of trousers... No comment. Hubby despairs over me. OMG Anneri. I'm going to tell you what my husband tells me when I do things like that......"Honey you need adult supervision." I hope you didn't hurt yourself!!!


Thank you PB!

The look sounds great. This was a walk down memory lane---lot's of oldies but goodies that I happen to love!!

It was also St. Nicholas Day over here, where kids get normally little presents, and Essence had some girls in the city who handed out little gifts - or bigger ones. I got a whole big bag of Essence goodies!

I hope you're pleasantly surprised!!!

It's pretty AWS!!! All reds count----totally theme appropriate!!!

Yay :-D

 

[Medgal07]

Today I wore a minimalist look compared to my usual makeup routine, but I stayed on theme with YSL Baby Doll Kiss Blush, Rouge Libertine, which is a warm red.
I don't often use this product for it's dual intended purpose.....somehow I just forget but today I also applied it to my cheeks, and I enjoyed the outcome.


​I forgot to mention that I put Chanel Pirate NP on Thursday and it's already chipping like crazy. Prior to that I had on NARS Jungle RED NP
which gave me about 4 non-chipped days.

 

[sagehen]

Ooh Medgal you reminded me about nails! I forgot to mention that on Tuesday I applied Sinful Colors No Text Red on. Today I am wearing a basic eye from some Two Faced palette and Stila Fiery liquid lipstick but today I applied Maybelline lip gloss in Gleaming Grenadine over it, just because. It was an instant mood lifter!

 

[Prettypackages]

I couldn't open the link but I think I know what you mean, AWS.

So good to see you PrettyGirlDoc. I hope your birthday is spectacular !!!

Sounds AMAZING Katred!!!

Oh come back pretty---there's a Rouge G somewhere out there with your name on it!!!!

yeah, all of them...

 

[Medgal07]

yeah, all of them...

 

[Prettypackages]

Katred, I liked that you used those shop/cook quads (one of mmy fave collex), with red lips. I tend to do very neutral eyes with my reds, so it was good to see something different.

 

[awickedshape]

NARS Rita in direct sunlight (it's darker than the pic) One swipe blended with a finger. These Audacious lipsticks are in a class by themselves.

 

[Medgal07]

Very pretty AWS. I feel about Charlotte, the way you've embraced Rita. There's a place in my heart for Rita...I just need space in my stash at this point

Lol I get that! I wish it was a more true to colour pic. It's the red I was looking for
