Theme Makeup with a Purpose

[Shars]

Really glad you're joining us Shars!!!!!

Me too!

I've been trying to find a way to keep my stuff in rotation so this is a good way to do so.

Me too!

I've been trying to find a way to keep my stuff in rotation so this is a good way to do so.

It's so much fun!!! You can also do a personal challenge in addition to our group effort. For example, the last time that we did the lipstick/challenge
I challenged myself to use a different eyeshadow palette for a month. This time I'm wearing the same highlighter for a week.

You also gain exposure to other products from other participants, and you're reminded of old loves---oldies but goodies that you've long forgotten and
are reminded to reach for them again.

I'll do at least two or three more days of red lipstick before I come over to the coral side - I love corals, I've a boatload of them, and I wear them all the time - so I'll give some of my neglected reds a chance.

I especially wanted to try something the new Pantone color of the year, so that's today's face:

FACE: Mac CC cream in Adjust, Mineralize Loose Foundation in Light, Artdeco Mineral Concealer & Maybelline Fit Me Concealer, Chanel Accent
EYES: Maybelline Browdrama (darkest colour), L'Oreal Infallible in Gilded Envy (cool olive with silver shimmer), Orb to highlight, Kiko double glam liner 110 (cool dark taupe)
LIPS: Mac Huggable in Rusty

Quick, easy, nice.

I even managed a selfie because we have sun for the first time in two weeks. Maybe I'll pick off enough courage to post it later!


Oh, and Med: I totally expect hubby to say something about 'adult supervision' soon! Whenever something like that happens to me he just looks at me with that slightly suffering 'oh honey' look in his eyes - you know what I mean?

And at least my toes are coral - painted them with Essie bump up the pumps.

Started to organize makeup to throw out again so here is Revlon's Tutti Frutti lip butter, a sheer orange

That's a nice colour on you! Did it survive the weeding out of the stash? There were such a hype for the lipbutters a few years ago, and I got some, and while they're quite nice, I think I've a lot of products that do the same thing basically and are nicer. And here's the pic of today's mu:

Very nice! Although I like the colour and the sheerness I don't like how Tutti Frutti wears over time so in the bin it went, along with some very old L'Oreal lipsticks

Wow, that is so beautiful on your lips- so fresh and juicy looking. It's also an example of the sort of coral that hates me.

I figured I start off the week with a coral that I often struggle with, Mac Vegas Volt. It was the first orange toned lipstick I ever bought and it's hard for me to wear, even though I adore the colour on my hand and on others. I was kind of pleasantly surprised to find that this worked, especially since I'm wearing a sweater than often seems to bring out a lot of grey in my skin.

Here's the look:

Face
UD Naked Skin 1.0
Nuxe BB cream Light/ Medium (too warm and dark for my skin, but works ok as an under-layer- warms the overall colour just a bit)
Lush Colour Supplement "Jackie Oates" (they're palest colour- I use it to brighten the high points of my face over the BB cream, under the foundation)
Mac Prep & Prime finishing powder (I'm finding the smell of this stuff borderline unbearable)
Hourglass Ambient Blush "Incandescent Electra" (bright light peach- a blush and highlighter in one)

Eyes
Mac paint pot "Painterly"
Mac Fluidline Brow "Deep Dark Brunette"
YSL e/s palette "Saharienne"
- Light peach all over
- Soft grey on outer half of lid
- Taupe shade in crease (with the soft grey used to diffuse the edges)
- White gold just under brow bone and along lower lash line
UD e/l "Demolition" (dark cool brown) along upper lash lines
Guerlain Cils d'Enfer mascara

Lips
Mac "Vegas Volt"




I feel like this works much better than other looks I've done with VV. I'll just have to remember: soft neutrals and peach blush.

FYI, if anyone is interested, I did a blog post about my week of reds (link is in my signature). I'm planning on doing one for each week of the challenge.

 

[Anneri]

That looks really lovely on you Katred! I can't really imagine you struggling with corals - it looks great on you! Will pop over to the blog and read your post!

It looks great on you! I had to do a lot of work with Vegas Volt, too. I haven't worn it in quite some time.

 

[sagehen]

@karted: Vegas Volt looks great on you.

Red week seemingly flew by and I never even got to my Dior or MAC reds.

I'm stoked for the new color of the year, Marsala. That should be fun. Next year we'll have to have a MARSALA WEEK, and incorporate any makeup ---face, lips,
eyes/mouth that the participant wants to include.

I totally know what you mean about 'the look' from hubs.

Shout out to your coral toes!!!!

That's very pretty AWS. It even looks a tad coral.
