If y'all assure me that I will not; in fact, have ashy eyelids, then I will certainly do taupe. Now that I think about it, I may have a maybelline color tattoo in tough as taupe somewhere. I think I'd prefer a warm taupe though. I'm going to the mall tomorrow and will look for one.
   [COLOR=800000]Maybe we should broaden the category!  We are not trying to make anyone leave the house w/ashy looking lids[/COLOR]:lol: [COLOR=800000]   What if we say neutral eyes for a week or month or however long [/COLOR][COLOR=800000]we agree to---or brights or smokey, etc.  In that way, participants [/COLOR] [COLOR=800000]   select the shades within that category that are flattering to them and that they're comfortable wearing.[/COLOR] [COLOR=800000]  Thoughts, suggestions & questions???????????????[/COLOR]

Yep that's exactly what I'm talking about!

Would taupe look good on me Sage? I think my eyelids would look ashy. And I've never seen ashy eyelids and don't want to see it on me. Lol.
I don't think you'll look ashy at all. I wear taupe eyeshadow and it's fine. I actually quite like it. It's a nice way to rock a subtle smoky eye.

(This bad boy lasts for a lonnnng time. The most I had to do was lightly touch up the very centre of my lips

Thoroughly looking forward for tomorrow. I might be wearing Revlon's Super Lustrous lipstick in Black Cherry!

Will we include pigments in this challenge. I love the MAC taupe-like pigments. That's such a versatile look...I love it!!!

I totally think you will slay taupe eyes. It is all a matter of getting the right one. Taupe can be warm, taupe can lean purple, and I think if you go deep you will be fine. You telling me you can't pull of MAC Satin Taupe? Patina?

So, first things first - how did you like the movie, Sagehen????

Second, for next month's theme - I don't know if a given colour for eyes AND lips wouldn't be a bit too much for me. Not so much guidance as a fence if you know what I mean?

Third, my face of today:

FACE: Mac CC cream in Adjust, Mineralize Loose Foundation in Light, Artdeco Mineral Concealer & Maybelline Fit Me Concealer, Perfect Topping to highlight (yay, STILL branching out!), Strada to contour, Clinique Black Honey blush

EYES: UDPP, Maybelline Browdrama (darkest colour), Chanel Illusoire (second little hockey puck...
001_unsure.gif
). EL liquid liner in Modern Mercury which is a nice black with silvery sparkles with a wing (!) and Mac Catch my Eye on the lower lashline. Orb to highlight and Clinique lash doubling mascara

LIPS: Mac Private Party (which could maybe work as a Marsala colour too!)

I also painted my nails with the Marsala colours (from the pic I posted recently) yesterday and the darkest one is still on my nails, qualifying for purpleberryvamp! (I'll post a pic of them later in the nails thread).

I was thinking about the fencing too, which is why I suggested a category instead of a single shade. The good news is that one can jump the fence at
anytime the colors in the challenge aren't working for you...and that can be for any number of reasons, but it happens...and that's okay. One other thing is
that I noticed we seem to select similar eye looks with the lips of the week/day. Whatever we decide it should be fun!

Oh noooooo to the hockey puck. I have several IDOs and none have hardened on me...knock wood of course. Your wing sounds awesome. Private party, described
as Dirty Plum Mauve, totally fits my non-pro idea of Marsala. We should have a Marsala week in the New Year!!! I'll come over to see your nails!!!

I. LOVED. It. It tied up most ends nicely and it was just shot so beautifully. And, Lee Pace... I will be re-watching the marathon as soon as I get it on dvd. They really were cognizant of the fans through this last film. The new song at the end? Wow. I need to pull out Private Party...
