Theme Makeup with a Purpose

[Medgal07]

Yes! I have been reborn!

I went through my stash and wanted to list my taupe eyeshadows. It may give the extensive lists here a run for the money: 1. Superwatt 2. Matte taupe in coastal scents revealed palette 3. Shimmer taupe in coastal scents revealed palette I know that was a lot to read. Lol. I'm going to pick up Satin Taupe and Nars Lhasa or Ashes to Ashes in the coming days. I realized that I've been looking at those Nars shadows for awhile but never pulled the trigger. I hope everyone is enjoying the weekend!

All three are must-haves IMO. They're complex enough the you can wear them on their own, or you can combine them with almost anything, because of their various undertones. Today's look: Eyes: Dior Cuir Cannage (played with different placement, although I still used all five shades) UD e/l Rockstar (dark shimmery purple) Hourglass Film Noir mascara Cheeks: Hourglass Mood Exposure (warm plum- this blush is my new love. I can't get over how much I like it one my skin.) Hourglass Diffused Light (white with a touch of yellow) Lips Rouge d'Armani Sheer 602 Black Lacquer (sheer grape) I had intended to go the whole week without repeating a brand, but this is the second day in a row I wore Armani. Oops. I'm now realizing I have only one day left and about fifty shades I want to include. I have brunch with my inlaws tomorrow, so I can't go as crazy as I otherwise might. Probably no vamps.

Yes, drunk off mimosas. That's my drink of choice if I don't want to drink anything too strong but feel "nice." Otherwise, it is vodka and raspberry lemonade at home or jack Daniels and sprite when I'm out. ETA: I wore revlon shameless lip stick yesterday instead of gunner or heroine. What's next week color?

I love that CC palette!! I've heard all good things about HME.
This color week zipped right by. I could go an entire month w/ease in terms of my stash---I think I'd start longing for other colors 1/2 way through.
You mean to tell me you wouldn't wear Hautecore to you ILs.

Nor would I!!!

Now, I like the other two drinks you mentioned...Oh before I forget the last row of the MAC Cool Neutrals x15 palette is a taupe wonderland. IJS. You know they have lowered the price too... next week is pinks, no?

love this!
have they? Nice!

What are your options??

 

[meka72]

Thanks Katred! Now that I feel more comfortable with applying and wearing eyeshadow, I think I could pull off the right shade of taupe. I'll test the Nars shadows to ensure they don't look alike on my kids but otherwise, I'll probably pick them up before January 1. I love Cuir Cannage! I might pull it out next week. Love your entire look!

I have to see if I have that one!!!

Yay...I do. I think you just picked my color for tomorrow! Thanks Sage!!! How pathetic that I didn't know if I had it!!!

 

[meka72]

Sage, I love how varied your makeup stash is. I have a Wnw palette that I've never used. Maybe I'll pull that out tomorrow and experiment. I need to research the cool-neutral palette that you mentioned. I said that I could buy anymore eyeshadow palettes in 2014. Yeah...I'm buying the UD smoked palette because it is $20 on UD's website. How can I NOT buy that?

A nice taupe in the Silent Treatment trio. That is all. I bought the UD palette as well. For that reason, I had 2 of the shades, but $20? I mean, what could I do?

 

[meka72]

Medgal, thanks for reminding me next week's theme! Like you, I will wear red on Christmas day, probably Guerlain Rouge Parade or Mac RiRi Woo. But then KVD Underage Red is another fave.

 

[Medgal07]

Meka, I was thinking the same thing. Sage has products I've never heard of, and a very diverse stash too!! Then again, I find that about you too Meka!!!

YES. You're correct!!

I'm going to check out cvs and Walgreens for this, tomorrow or Monday.

I'm wearing a winter white outfit Christmas Day and I think Rouge Parade definitely fits the bill for setting it off nicely. You could wear one Christmas Eve & the other Christmas day.
