Theme Makeup with a Purpose

[sagehen]

I would love a blush challenge. I have been neglecting it lately.

 

[Shars]

I've been on theme but not posting daily. I like being committed to a different palette everyday. Maybe we should try a different blush everyday for the month of April

Any one up for that???
Thursday I wore my YSL Bleus Lumière Eye Shadow Collector Palette and used all 5 shades. It was a bit of a challenge but I did it and it didn't look outrageous.
Marine Blue Turquoise
Bright Peach Pale Peach Shimmer
Navy Center

Pretty.

I'm up for using a different blush every day for April.

@aradhana, would love to see that eye tint tutorial! @med, would love a blush challenge! Just thought the other day that I own a gazillion but use three. @shars, do try the tints! I really like them! Here's a blurry pic of the look I did with Minuit today - Minuit on the lid, a grey ED shadow in the crease and Kid to blend the edges. Liner, mascara and done!

I'm definitely picking up in the next GA or Sephora sale. We're eyeshadow twins today. I'm also wearing a blue smokey eye

I repeated a palette today. Doh!

You will love the GA eye tints. YSL just came out w/some but I'd rather buy more GA ETs. I have six--I think eight might be a better number.

So today I wanted to jump into spring with some bright colors only I settled for my Dior palette, BAR---grey, black white & pink. It's the first day of spring and I had to shovel snow! I 'm wearing Burberry's Lip Mist in Oxblood. I love the formula!!!!

i hope somebody tries it...it looks beautiful!

i'm also looking forward to the blush challenge....lately i've been using just a handful of the many that could do with some use!
anneri - love the blue/grey smokey eye! very nicely executed. i was looking at a UD pencil of a similar blue shade this afternoon (LSD?), but decided to save it for my next sephora visit.

Oooooh, now I wish I'd gotten Senso instead of Minuit last week! It looks great on her! I reviewed my shades on the blog last week with my partner in crime and both our minds were absolutely boggled what a chameleon Senso is. On me it was a chocolate brown while on her it was nearly taupe! Also love what she says about her hubby in the tutorial 'it's a smokey eye!' Lol! And thank you everybody who complimented me on the eye look! Meddy, what looks do you do with Minuit? I need some inspiration!

I'm going to Nordies today, and I'll swatch them all for you Shars. At least I'll try, it will be crowded b/c it is their trend show. I'm just going to do makeovers with my Mom and GF. I think I'm going to buy her an eye tint and an Audacious lippie. I might, might even buy her something from Chanel, like a blush. The rest she's buying on her own. LOL

I need help with pairing the right blush for my looks. I never know if I should keep monochromatic, or do something totally different. LIke if you have on grey smokey eyes and say... IDK a red lipstick. What color blush? I think I'm making it too hard.

Anneri, when we did our bright lip challenge you had a great blush tip. Do you remember it? Oh and I didn't realize your blog was live now. YAY!

I didn't wear a stitch of makeup this week. I was too exhausted.

 

[awickedshape]

I have a lot to learn about makeup. I have been reading through this thread http://www.specktra.net/t/75349/biggest-makeup-crimes-committed-by-women-of-color/0_50 and I do coordinate my makeup with my outfit lol Oh, well! :wink:

 

[Prettypackages]

LOL, that's the one thing I don't do. Last year or so, Sage told us some great way to pair the opposite colors with our outfits. Do you remember Sage? I think the jist was using the opposite color on the color wheel.

It's just my personal Preference not a rule Per say! But I like to match my lip color/ undertone with the blush shade!! Pinky lips with pinky blushes, red/oranges with a peachy one, corals with corals ! I don't mean the same shade but from the same color family!! ...Well most of the time atleast :haha:!

I, personally, wouldn't wear blush in this case, maybe a bit of bronzer. But I rarely wear real reds, I prefer burgundies and I wear a burgundy blush with them but I keep the eyes very simple - a wash of silver es and eyeliner.

That's what they say is most complementary. It's what I tend to do as well.

Yay!! That's the easiest way for me to pick a blush too go with the look!! I love that it brings together the whole look without much effort when using complementary colors!!

It may be too late for me lol Seriously, though I never even thought to look that up (coordinating makeup around outfits). So much to learn

You're such a naughty girl lol! :haha:  Don't worry, I'm no better. I'm getting 3-4 CT palettes for my "birthday" lol. Thanks in advance if you get to swatch 'em!! And hope you, your mom and GF enjoy your pamper day! Lol @ you saying your mom has to buy the rest on her own haha!! Crimes..shimes ooh: Match away girl! LOL! 

Lol! I can't help mehself

 

[Shars]

Lol! I can't help mehself

LOL! Some of those crimes are on point though... Black lip liner and just gloss! We need to stop the madness lol. I'm almost ashamed to say that I have done that and the silver line on the upper lash line but I didn't know any better then. Jesus took the wheel! lol
