Theme Makeup with a Purpose

[Shars]

Here's my orange day:

EYES:
TooFaced Shadow Insurance to prime
A forest green-coloured shadow from a LORAC mini Hautelook exclusive palette for the lids
A deep warm brown shadow from the same palette for the crease
A warm peachy gold from the same palette as the brow highlight
Sephora Cafe Brown liquid liner
A mix of the two left-most concealers from the MUFE 5 Camouflage Cream Palette for my undereyes
Set under eye concealer with Ben Nye Topaz
No mascara today

FACE:
No foundation today just a translucent mattifying setting powder from Sephora
Sleek blush in Pomegranate for cheeks
Sleek blush in rose gold for highlight
Sleek face countour kit in Dark - used dark colour for contour

LIPS:
Sleek True Colour Lipstick in Tangerine Scream
Nyx Deep Purple Lip Liner

I did not realise how many Sleek products I used today until typing this up lol. I love the colour of the Tangerine Scream lipstick but it is such a neon orange and because it is sooo pigmented, I was stuck trying to tone it down for work. I like how the purple liner played with it though.

Day 1 - Finis

This sounds gorgeous. Makes me annoyed that I didn't buy that quad, although I'm sure it was because I had similar shades. I'm tempted to copy this look myself, since Gipsy will definitely be playing a role in my week...

You should! I promise that if I can make it work, you can too!

 

[awickedshape]

[@]katred[/@] It takes some work for me, some blending with my finger especially with the pigmentation on my lips. I sometimes used it with a liner and/or MAC Richer, Lusher (as in the second pic) or sticky old Lychee Luxe. It's not a low maintenance lipstick for me lol

 

[Medgal07]

That looks lovely. Gorgeous sheen on that colour and it makes your lips look very full (although that might be because they are already...)


Thanks to you and to everyone else for your kind comments!

I would love to do a Marsala week, however I'm not sure how many products I have that would fit the bill. I think I'd have to go shopping...

It's a great excuse for a spree......you can get started now!!!

Awesome Katred! The look turned out really well. I think I'll go with the MAC Rainy Season quad from The All About Orange collection tomorrow.

 

[Medgal07]

The first looks coral and the second looks pink, both of which look great on you. I understand what you mean by LL not being low maintenance.
I use concealer to get even color coverage on my lips prior to putting on lipstick....I've done that for years because my lips are also very pigmented.

 

[Prettypackages]

I'll get caught up later... but I second a marsala week. I think I have to go shopping though.. You'll have to tell me some colors that will work.

that color is gorgeous... but I really want to see it with that liner. Did you do an Ombre?

Who do you think we are....Pantone? Sephora had a sampling of Marsala appropriate products:

[Shars]

Yes I did a kind of ombré. I didn't remember to take a pic and it's too dark now but I'll still try.

 

[Medgal07]

It is. It is an orange lover's dream!

Squeals....that would be me!!!

Because it's dark the camera wasn't catching the colours in the last pic as great as I would have liked. The purple is more purple and the orange is less red than it appears in the last picture.

Hey ladies! I hope you're well. I went through my stash and actually have enough orange/coral lippies to make it through the week. Today, I wore Loreal Orange Tempo color riche lippie, which is similar to YSL rouge volupté. This is the rest of this werk's makeup: Primer: Korres anti-aging primer Foundation: LM smooth finish fluide foundation in pecan )sample) Concealer: Nars creamy concealer in amandé (undereye) and café (blemishes) Setting powder: Surratt diaphane loose powder in éclantant Contour: Black Radiance blackberry blush Highlight: Mac magnetic appeal EDSF Blush: Mac Seduced at Sea/See Me Hear Me (can't remember) Eye Liner: Loreal black gel liner Mascara: none as usual (I had grand plans to apply some when I got to my office)

Amazing orange!!! I would never have thought to do that on my own to tone down a lippie---but now that I really think about it we do it all the time w/brown lip pencils.

Hi Meka! I love YSL Rouge Volupté. I like your product selections. I think I must have worn orange lipstick for half of my adult life & Loreal &
Maybelline had the best oranges ever!

I wore Dior's Fluid Lipstick in Mirage(peachy/orange) yesterday! I love orange lipsticks, but they are just so difficult to find and a lot of them tend to lean very coral/pinkish in my experience.

OMG...you just totally reminded me about the Dior Fluid sticks that I have...one orange, Artifice and one bright coral, Pandore. I never liked wearing them
on their own. I think they perform better for me over lipstick. Thanks for the reminder!!!!

I have quite a few orange lipsticks but I haven't found one in recent years that makes me swoon.

Eek! So many great options here! I decided to go for a softer look today, just because it seemed in keeping with the gloomy skies and because I wanted to try something different from my usual, brighter shades. So this was sort of a daytime smoky eye with muted lip. I like it, although it doesn't quite feel like me. I'm enjoying the texture of the Mac Kissable liquid lipstick, which is so soft, but still lasts pretty well.

Face:
Nuxe BB light
Lush Colour Supplement "jackie oates"
UD Naked Skin 1.0
Dior Star concealer 010
Mac Pewp & Prime finishing powder
Hourglass Ambient blush Luminous Flush [champagne rose]
Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder Luminous Light [candlelit glow]- applied on the outer part of my cheekbones, above my brows, in the inner corners of my eyes, under apex of brow and lightly around the cupid's bow and centre of the bottom lip

Eyes:
RBR Chronos palette:
- Rosy taupe (shade #2) all over lid and into crease, all the way up to the underside of the brow bone
- Light champagne-taupe (shade #1) inner part of lid and patted on the centre of lids, over shade #2 and along lower lash line
- Dark olive bronze (shade #3) in the outer V and outer crease for depth)
Inglot 351 (ivory highlight) under brows
UD e/l Rockstar (dark, shimmery eggplant) upper lash lines
Guerlain Cils d'Enfer

Lips:
Mac Kissable Lip Colour "So Vain" [dirty coral peach]

Mac really needs to bring those back with some new shades. They're a great product!

Tomorrow I think I'll go back to brights.

 

[awickedshape]

Today is one of my favourites, Chanel Excentrique RA

I love this with YSL Bleus Lumière

Again a very pretty look and great inspiration! Today was a no-makeup look for me because I was staying at my desk the whole day, but I was already wondering how to incorporate a coral lipstick into a season appropriate look. No reason not to wear something season unappropriate, of course, but I tend to wear my corals with only a colourful liner during the summer, and a nudish neutral eye in spring, and haven't a clue how to do it during winter. I thought about khakis and taupes and purples yesterday, but didn't come to a conclusion, so it was really good to see your look as an inspiration for a softer coral look. Maybe tomorrow!

 

[Medgal07]

Thank you AWS!




Thank you Med! A friend of mine convinced me to get it at the beginning of the year because she claimed that was 'my' red. And I absolutely believed her. There're a lot of nice reds I like wearing, but this one always looks great on me. (And feels great on the lips too!) I so hope that Mac'll bring the formula back!


Thank you V!


Thanks Katred! You know, for the longest time I wouldn't wear any red lipsticks or glosses because I was afraid that they'd make my lips more prominent. And then I encountered a very nice MAC MUA who gave me Mac Red and Lil' Hot Pepper l/g and I didn't look back!




I think I've to go shopping too, Pretty and Med! I looked through the Sephora offerings and wasn't that convinced at some of their choices. When I first looked at this little colour chart they did for Marsala, I was convinced it was a colour like Offshoot by Mac, something like a rosy brown? And then I read the colour description of brown red and was like 'hmmmmmm' - what it's gonna be?!

I agree with your friend Anneri----that's a really good red for you!

As far as the Pantone Color of the year 'Marsala' goes, I had a red-brown in my head---probably more red than brown. I think Sephora threw a bunch of
products against the old advertisement -lets-make-some-money now wall, just to see what might stick. I purchased a few things that I think might make the
cut in my small makeup world, and I have a few things in my stash that might also be 'Marsala' appropriate. I'm excited to see what comes out.
