random question...


Ok, I need your opinion ladies.. I'm thinking of taking my Mom to Nordies for their spring trend show in March. I had a guy from Laura Mercier do my makeup one random evening and fell in love with the neutral but pretty look he gave me. So I thought I'd have her makeup done by him. Then I thought about Bobbi Brown or even Nars. I'm keeping her away from MAC for now, unless my fave Male makeup artist is there. But who would you pick to do your 50 something, with great skin, Mother's makeup. She says she wants to start wearing it, so I thought this would be a good start. Oh and if you have a different fave brand, let me know.

Maybe I'll show her their website and let her decide?

I would go with the known entity-----You seemed to like the way that he Laura Mercier MUA did your makeup in a neutral look. That might be a better start than a more
flamboyant look that might scare her away form makeup. Ease her into it and then see what she likes and gravitates to. This sounds like fun Pretty!!!

Well, I usually don't do this because it's hard to maneuver along the lower lash line and I'm awful at lining but I tried to line my lower lash line on Friday. Used two liners, a Ruby Kisses for the lid and line and an Avon, which smudged, for the wing and inner corner of my eyes.

I'd like to find a liner that won't smudge as much. Maybe a MAC pearlglide. The Gucci is pricey... Maybe I'll try just the Ruby Kisses next time.

I think I'll join in on this month's challenge

I'm not sure if I have quite enough palettes, but with duos, I should make it. I didn't go out today, but I'll start off tomorrow with Kat Von D's Spellbinding palette

and WELCOME Knope----so glad you've decided to join in the fun!!!!!

That's a really nice palette and it's huge----24 shadows. Is that correct?
If so, you should be able to use it four times (4 shadows for a quad) or eight times (2 shadows for a duo) to be fair. I don't think we even considered palettes with more
than five eyeshadows because I don't think it came up. The decision is your's but by all mean feel free to do that.

YAY SAGE!!!!!

I love the colors in that palette. You can use that again if you want to Sage because it has eight shadows right?

  [COLOR=0000FF] YAY SAGE!!!!![/COLOR]:happydance: [COLOR=0000FF]I love the colors in that palette.  You can use that again if you want to Sage because it has eight shadows right?[/COLOR]

It does have 8 shadows. I was thinking about using the greens ones in it at some point, but I want to put a few other palettes to use first, specifically my urban Decay palettes. It has been awhile since I have used anything other than the Naked ones.

Well just know that it's an option to count as more than one palette, something that we hadn't discussed before. I'm liking this challenge already!!!!

I think Laura Mercier is a really good bet.

I had my makeup done at LM when I was preparing for my wedding. The look they did was very natural and glowy looking. Although I did not end up using that particular look for my wedding because my face needed something more intense to go with my dress, I picked up some very useful tips for every day use. And I did end up purchasing and using their oil-free tinted moisturizer (almond was a really good match at the time, though now it would be a hair light), and secret camouflage concealer.

Bobbi Brown is also a good choice. I feel like the bobbi brown look has a bit more of a 'made-up' look, even though it's still 'natural'. know what i mean?

Nars is good if she is more adventurous or edgy...Although I have to say my experiences having makeup done at NARS have been very hit and miss, even though I love their products. It totally depends who the artist is!

Showing her the websites is a good idea...It totally depends what kind of colours she's into!

It sounds really fun! Let us know what you decide...and how your mom likes it!

Looks like you did a great job! I struggle to find something that doesn't smudge as well. I've had some luck with the Stila Stay All Day formula. Welcome aboard! I would just do it for as long as you can. Once you're done you could either move on or try different looks with the palettes you already used.

I hadn't thought about it until I looked at my Naked palettes and realised that there was a gap between those and the Nars duos...

i think jeanius was the first release of pink cult...and repromote was with reel sexy... it would be great if they brought back RR!  i'm the same regarding the -10C limit, except that if it's too slushy and grey. or too windy. that's the absolute worst actually.

Hm... Around freezing, wet and windy... You mean like March weather? I think you're right about Jeanius being the first appearance of Pink Cult. I couldn't remember if it was there or in the Mickey Contractor collection. They should really just make it permanent already. I started off the month of palettes with an old favourite: Burmese Beauty from the Mac Fabulous Felines collection. As a bonafide crazy cat lady, I'll always have a soft spot for that one.
