Don't be! Runway Hit was drying to a level of discomfort. I love the matte look, but I couldn't endure it and I had to top it w/a moisturizing tint. I think I'mI'm jealous seeing all the shades from All About Orange used. I so wanted to get a couple of them, but I've tried every single one and none of them look even mildly acceptable on me. Flamingo was the closest, but it still looked icky.
I did indeed go bright today and am wearing Toxic Tale. For some reason, I remembered it being drying, but today it feels fine. I think I might be confusing it with Neon Orange, which I do find quite drying.
I wanted to keep things simple, so I used the shades from Guerlain's Les Sables palette on my eyes, which is my perfect nude eye palette. I did dress it up a little with Stila sparkling liquid liner in Electric- bright Emerald green. It smudged a little because my lid got a little damp. Normally, I'd say "that's life", but the formula is specifically marketed as waterproof and this has happened pretty much every time that I've worn the liner. Growl.
On the cheeks, I went with a couple of Mac shades I hadn't tried in a while- Dollymix and the MB in Rhapsody in Two. The latter is a mix of golden peach and soft strawberry pink which is more like a highlighter. I seem to have been the only one who liked it (was part of a limited summer collection with a lot of Mineralize products in 2011), but I find it livens up my skin.
Thus far, I still like the first look of the week the best, but I'm faring better with corals (no oranges yet, but they're coming) than I thought I would. I knew there had to be a reason I kept buying them...
getting spoiled by my high-end lipstick formulas, but I love my MAC lippes. I refuse to give up on them!!!
Your nude eye look sounds pretty. Toxic Tale is gorgeous. I don't have it so I looked it up and there you were Katred---stunning pic!!!
