Theme Makeup with a Purpose

[meka72]

[@]aradhana[/@], I'm glad to hear that your interview went well and am sending good vibes your way! Bauhau5 is on my "to wear" list either this week or pink week. I might try to work in this week but have Violetta, Heroine and Gunner on deck. Tomorrow, I plan to wear magenta lip pencil and Loreal Berry persistent, which is similar to YSL rouge volupte. But I have idea how the morning will evolve so who knows what I'll actually wear. Oh yeah, I forgot that in wearing purple nail polish, Nars Tokado, and some Maybelline glittery color on a junk nail.

Oh look at Aveda's marsala products...

After seeing the many pics of satin taupe, I'm going to pick that up. I'll probably try it in store first though.

i actually only have one of the ones she listed....good ole' satin taupe!

Same here...Satin Taupe. I went through my MU Inventory document and I found three MAC pigments, Aurora (Pinked Taupe), Museum Bronze (Rich Taupe
w/Gold Pearl) andJust Before Dawn (Warm Taupe Frost). Several of my e/s palettes have one or more taupe shades...well that's a bit embarrassing.
I never even noticed that until going through the description/list of each palette. You'd think I would have noticed!!!

Bauhau5 is gorgeous!

Those lip products plump your lips---I had an immediate response---a visual from the movie 'First Wives Club'---when Goldie Hawn's character had her lips done.
They looked like to big red sirloin steaks!! I avoid the lipsticks & see what else is available.

If buying new E/S is inconvenient you can substitute. We don't want to break anyone's bank.

It sure is!!!

WOW!! I looked it up--link below:

That's a great idea too...mix it up! You're only limited by your own imagination, etc.

Ohhhh Pretty ...you have me laughing out loud!!!

there you go laughing at me again.;-). I was really interested in their shadow called allspice. I didn't notice the lispticks were the plumping kind. I wish there was a lipstick that made you slimmer.

I know right! Forget the big lips and give me small hips!

Will reply to everybody else later, it just struck me as funny right now that you're posting you're Tuesday look (which is lovely) when I come back from my Wednesday morning workout! See you all later!

You need Satin Taupe. I will have other suggestions later. I compiled a list yesterday. I want to look it over again. Today's face: FACE: Stila Natural Finish Oil Free, Shade H NYX wand concealer, Shade 08 under eyes, some L'Oreal pencil on a few dark spots EL Double Matte Powder EYES: WnW Fergie primer Lorac Skinny Palette, Plums Rimmel London Brow pencil, Shade 04 Dark Brown Rimmel Eye Kohl, Sparkle Black upper lashline, Sparkle Blue lower lashline Maybelline One by One mascara, blackest black (I wish y'all knew what fantastic lashes this gives me) LIPS: MAC Smoked Purple with Gareth Pugh Outrage l/g on top

ROFL!

 

[Prettypackages]

hmmm ok, so taupe is a lot broader than I thought, and I have more than I thought.
This is going to be fun...


I'm ok with doing a color a week if folks want.

Anneri... I'm coming! ;-)

 

[meka72]

I've got a headache and haven't had a chance to read most of today's posts. Thanks everyone for helping me with project no ashy lids. Lol. I don't have that tough as taupe color tattoo, as I thought, but may have a taupe in the coastal scents revealed palette.

 

[Medgal07]

See you all later!

I did it very late---it was actually Wednesday morning in the wee hours when I remembered to do it.

 

[Medgal07]

Yes. I've even included some taupe MAC pigments!!!

I hope you feel better Meka!!!!

Welcome Med! Let us know how it went!


Fingers crossed, Aradhana!


Huh, name your taupes. Prepare yourself:

Mac Aurora
Mac Mauvement
Mac Stolen Moment
Mac Mothbrown
Mac Superwatt
Mac Cloudy Afternoon MES
Mac Twilight Falls MES
Mac Winterized MES
Mac Bossa Blue MES
Mac Temp Rising Quad
Burberry Rosewood
Nars Lhasa
Benefit Skinny Jeans
L'Oreal Bronze Taupe
Barry M Dazzledust in Mushroom
Catrice Shade of Grey
Chanel Harmonie Du Soir Quad
Chanel Moon River
Chanel Lilium
Dior Bonne Etoile
Wet n Wild Silent Moment (trio)


I'm sure I forgot some... and I was to lazy to name the individual shadows in the palettes.


Like that idea! And please, no more than one week per topic. I'm totally with Med on that. I've too much makeup to wear only a fraction of it for weeks.

You can come over to play if you want to!

I never got what people meant when they're saying that you can't wear shimmer over 40 over something. I never look that aged as when I wear an all matte eyelook. I think shimmers work best because shimmers tend to make a visual veil over all those fine lines...


ROFL!

thanks for the good wishes anneri, and thanks for the list!

you reminded me of a few shades that i do have - super watt, moth brown, stolen moment, twilight falls, cloudy afternoon, bossa blue! i didn't realize cloudy afternoon fits in the taupe category, so now i am going to take a very close look at my stash when i get home. i know i have three taupey shades in my the balm nude 'tude palette as well...

OMG, I loved your WHOLE POST. LOL I was intently reading your Sephora story, and found myself laughing at myself at the end b/c I wanted to know 1. what you swatched 2. and what you chose. BUt yeah, she totally missed the point.
What you said about boyfriend stealer is spot on!! The gloss really helps that lippie. I wore Dominate today,and it is just not the lippie for me, for exactly the reasons you posted. I'm going to do a comparison. I also see I need to go through my purple vampy lipsticks. Cool toned vampy blackened purples are not for me. Looking at gunner nervously...

Yes Anneri, I meant to ask what a junk nail was.

Sage I loved your lip combo too. I had to bypass that whole gareth pugh collex.

 

[Prettypackages]

great to see you too PrettyP!
you know i like your idea about having two options for one week. and i appreciated the full explanation. my brain needs that overemphasization! also it made me think of all the pretty looks possible with taupe eyes and pink lips. orrr....pink eyes with taupe lips!

as for the brown with gold, it might depend on the gold. because like if it was a warm gold i'd go with warm browns like saddle...and if it was one of those light, or greeny golds, then maybe something like mystery would be good?


so purdy! i got so caught up in the berry eye candy that i scrolled all the way down and it reminded me how random google search results can turn out to be:

what on earth does that mean?
love the berry eyes!!!

Um... I don't know... but like you, Iove the randomness of google. Maybe it means the.... IDK... I really can't think of anything at the moment.

Oh thanks for the brown and gold tips... didn't even think of the greeny golds... That's a perfect explanation.

You know, you can totally do pink eyes and taupe lips... for taupe lips you can use Styled in Sepia, Riri Nude, Stone liner

Glad to hear about the interview, let us know how it goes...
