Tom Ford Beauty Discussion

I do not know why I insist on always using my fingers. I'll sometimes do it for powder shadows as well. I seem to get the most color by applying with my fingers and then blending with a brush, but then I never remember which are my clean fingers so I'll start touching my face and get dirty finger prints all over myself. Another reason to apply foundation last!

And I am 100% behind you on your strategy of maintaining a steady stream of deliveries. A package a day keeps the withdrawal symptoms at bay!

I always use my finger for eye shadows too

Inspired by @elegant-one who wears her heels out in the yard pulling weeds, I decided to do a smoky eye whilst sitting at home in my sweatpants!

I just played around with the "Spring 2015" cream eyeshadow. On me it's decidedly pewter/grey but in certain light it takes on a cool khaki cast. I love it! It looks so much cooler on me than it does on Sara http://www.colormeloud.com/2015/02/tom-ford-cream-color-for-eyes-spring.html or bubby michelle on instagram: https://instagram.com/p/zbogAupeCf/?modal=true (did she just tap a little onto her eyelid for sparkle or is that it covering the whole lid?)

I keep finding eyeshadows are pulling super cool on me for some reason. The Armani Eye Tints do that on me as well!

I LOVE this on you! Very beautiful! It makes your blue eyes really pop.

I used Raw Jade today. I liked the look. The SA told me to layer the lighter color over the darker and I did. I think I will play around with it more. I just put it on that way with a midbrown in the crease to transition. I can't remember if I ever got around to putting a highlight shade on. I didn't put on a green liner because I have so many of them and couldn't make up my mind in the rush to get to work. I also didn't try the green mascara. I just wasn't sure if it would be too much. I wore the TF black pen liner though. Went with Mac Bad Girl Gone Good which is basically a neutral blush on me and my new LM lipstick in Crushed Pecan. I probably should have gone with TF as I have so many I have purchased recently. Probably should have worn Savage blush or one of the duos and a TF lipstick. I really want to play around with this duo as I skipped the makeover but unfortunately I have too many new products to try. I bought the other 2 duos so I may just wear one of them tomorrow.

Please post if you have a green liner you like with Raw Jade. Off the top of my head, I have Mac Rosemary and Thyme, Mystery, Bankroll, Emerald Sea, Tarnish, Forever Green and probably a few others. Oh I just took a quick look through my stash and have Mac Treat Me Nice and Desires and Devices liquid liners. I never did get around to getting all the superslick liners like I meant to do. Also found 2 green pencils with Smashbox 3D liners, 3D Sparks and 3D Billionaire.

Savage blush is a great idea. I don't think I have any green liners! I usually use brown liners to offset shadow. I love my Marc Jacobs gel liners. I use Brownout and Sunset a lot. Although with the iridescent shade in the jade duo, that changes things up so not sure about brown with it. I won't get my duo until Weds or Thurs so I'm not sure what will go. Nars Rue de Rivoli or Urban Decay 24/7 in Stash, Loaded or Invasion? Or maybe the Marc gel liner in Overt (forest green)? Hard to say without seeing it - once I play with it maybe I can think of some other options. ;-)

ICL it sounds like you just might find a gem amongst all of the liners that you have that will work w/Raw Jade. I'm eager to hear which duo you like best, once you've had
a chance to wear them all.

It was always free shipping Meddy!! In one of the threads we had a discussion yest on them changing the free return policy to include only nm card holders. But today I was on the website and it said free shipping & returns like it was before!! I thought it was on this thread so posted it here!

Oh I see.

It was more about the returns---I think I saw that.

I have found using purple liner with green shadow is pretty cool. Or a gray eyeliner too. Green is a tough color to match up. There are so many hues and values in the various colors of the liners. Do you have the TF green liner? The mascara is not really teal. It is more green. Chanel had a eyeliner I think it was called Ebene or something like that. It is the old formula, so I had to warm it up with my hair dryer for a few seconds or the drag on the eye lid was awful. Plum eyeliner would work well too.

I spoke to big guns at Neiman's today about the shipping back charge. They told me it was and still is free ship back, provided it is return within 15 days of delivery. After 15 days, you may still return it for a full refund to an actual store. Also, if you go past the 15 days and don't live near a Neiman's if you go to the USPS and use the "if it fits it ships" box, the smallest box I think is 4.95, with tracking and insurance and usually gets back to Neiman's within 3 days or so. When you use the "smart label" regardless of the store, Nordie's, Neiman's whatever, it takes 7-10 days to get back to where it came from. So, if you miss the 15 day deadline, it is actually cheaper to use the if it fits it ships box then pay 7.50. Usually makeup will fit in this size box.
