Theme Makeup with a Purpose

[Medgal07]

The swatches were no trouble at all. I can't wait to hear what you think of the CT palettes.

From the eye tints I ended up with 1 Obsidian, 5 Onyx, 6 Green Tint, and 11 rose ashes.


AWS, I love that combo. I'm going to do something similar tomorrow.

Aradhana, it was very cool to learn something new. I kinda want to do another one. LOL

Awesome Pretty! How do you like Rose Ashes? I'm contemplating it.

i use it on the high points of my cheeks, and also on the perimeters. i am going to look for the video...not sure i'm wearing it properly anyway! your day sounds like it went extremely well! it's great that you guys were introduced to new products/techniques that you like...i love when that happens at makeovers. @awickedshape   i tried to quote your post but it's gone...pretty look - i like how cross wires looks on you. out of curiosity, did you use a lipliner or other product with it? i'm trying to figure out how it might read on me....

Hi, [@]aradhana[/@], thanks! No, I didn't use anything else with it! My lips are pigmented so I think it may be brighter on you? Not sure. But it's my second favourite MAC lipstick

[COLOR=0000FF]   Love both AWS----VERY NICE!!!!!!  I hope your day got better and you got rid of the headache too!![/COLOR]

Thanks [@]Medgal07[/@]! It did ease :frenz:

Today I used Chanel Tisse Mademoiselle and L'Oreal Aishwarya's Beige lipstick. So-so look with my black and tan dress.

Happy Tuesday! Wearing: FACE: CG Queen 3-in-1 foundation, Golden Almond / Warm Caramel CG Queen Lasting Matte Pressed, Golden Medium City Colors Contour Palette, contour only coral-y blush from Too Faced Hard Candy palette EYES: Too Faced Hardy Candy palette, bronze shade on lids, matte medium brown in crease, matte dark brown, blackened red combined in outer crease and blended well PIXI e/l, Black Cocoa CG Lash Blast Fusion mascara, Black Black (?) Sephora brown pencil, Midnight Brown LIPS: NYX Chocolate lip pencil ABH liquid lipstick, Electric Coral (it IS electric...I can't even imagine what Neon Coral must look like. That must JUMP off the face)

Heh. That last bit made me snicker on that gloomy day! Much appreciated! (I'm feeling a bit sad because of the plane crash of the German plane in France. Nobody I knew on that plane, but sad nevertheless.)

And don't you know it, I wore different palettes with different lipsticks yesterday and today AND finished a bottle of foundation! Go me!

Yesterday's look incorporated my oldest MAC palette: Lucky Tom from Hello Kitty

Face: Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum Foundation, Bourjois Concealer, Nars Illuminating Powder, Guerlain Meteorites, Alpha Girl Beauty Powder and Shell Pearl Beauty Powder mixed

Eyes: I used Paradisco all over the lid and used Centre Stage from my Mega Metals palette (full of depotted Mega Metals) in the crease. I used Stylin' from the HK palette on the lower lashline as a liner (huh, that one is not a good Satin! Ugh!) and Kid to blend everything together. Orb as a highlight as always. Lined the upper lashline with an old brown EL liner and used a Clinique mascara - I really have to sort through my mascara stash and throw away what is not working on me!

Lips: A chubby stick dupe from the German brand Astor - it's matte and a very bright coral.


Today's look featured the EL palette in Bronze Sands from a summer collection long ago. It's full of their gelee e/s.

Face: same as yesterday, but I used Lured to Love MB as my blush.

Eyes: I used the sandy coloured e/s from the palette over the whole lid and smoked that out with the dark brown from the same palette. Used Espresso e/s in the outer v and Kid again as a transition shade. Orb as highlight. Then I used the bright teal as a liner on the lower lashline and the same brown liner on the upper lashline as yesterday. Same mascara (hope that one is finished soon!)

Lips: Ok, that took some effort. I had the crazy idea to wear VG Nikki 1, but that's not a good shade for me most of the time. So I lined and filled my lips with Boldly Bare liner, applied Nikki over it with a brush and used than Flurry of Fun l/g (orange with blue glitter) over it. And it looked actually really pretty and toned down.

Lol [@]Anneri[/@] I'm having a holy sheep! moment myself lol Look at that! This shade was my only nude. I had loved this signature line lol

I must tell the truth, I love tasty-sounding names. That is how I ended up with the Too Faced chocolate palettes...shopping in Sephora while hungry ( I took is as a sign that I was supposed to buy them because they were also in stock at the same time)

 

[Medgal07]

LOVE the dress! Funny that you mention the L'Oreal lipstick, years ago when I still was a student (10 years ago?!

) L'Oreal had another lippie they had devolloped with Aishwarya, and it was my HG lippie that I bought again and again and again. It was the only thing I wore. Funny how that changed...

Anneri the plane crash was such a tragedy and is terribly saddening!!

Go you is right on finishing a bottle of foundation. I finished a Chanel Perfection Lumière this weekend and I don't think I'll replace it because I prefer Perfection
Lumière Velvet. I love your face products. One of the best things about sharing our looks is the reminders that we get of great products that we haven't used in a while.

Thanks very much [@]Medgal07[/@] :frenz: I always overdo it in the crease and V when I use those little drugstore applicators lol What did you use today [@]Medgal07[/@]? I think this is my last palette for the challenge Edit: I need to do an inventory list Medgal! lol I forgot I have two more, an Avon quad

and a Sacha trio that I usually use only two shades from to go with my Sari

Hey everyone! I'm just getting back from vacation and I failed at this task miserably! If I wore eye shadow, it was one of two combinations. Time to get back on track. I failed today too; I wore Burberry Gold again. (I just like it that much) Tomorrow is a new day!

 

[Prettypackages]

Awesome Pretty! How do you like Rose Ashes? I'm contemplating it.
I wore it today for you. It's not what I thought it was. It turns into a pretty rose copper color. You'd love it. On me it doesn't really do anythng for me.

ABH liquid lipstick, Electric Coral (it IS electric...I can't even imagine what Neon Coral must look like. That must JUMP off the face)

HOw do you like the ABH Liquid Lipstick. Electric Coral is on my list but the reviews have been bad recently.

@ the bolded: I have nothing but good things to say about the ABH lipsticks. I have worn three so far, not as drying as Stila's (in fact comfortable to wear), wear in excess of 8 hours even with a bit of gloss on top, no discernible scent, great color selection. example: yesterday I applied around 9 am. I ate oatmeal after that, a veggie bowl and yogurt for lunch, drank tons of tea and water and had a Chipotle burrito for dinner. I put on lip balm afterward because of the hot salsa wearing me out. Brushed my teeth before bed and still had a very visible stain this morning. That was Electric Coral, which I bought on a whim. I have worn Potion eyelove and Vintage and they have worn nearly as well (had pizza for dinner when I wore Potion - all that grease only made it transfer but still I had a stain). I can't say I love them because I am a lipstick whore but I have nothing but good things to say at this moment. I only feel a bit apprehensive about Sad Girl, which I have yet to try. It has shimmer in it so I will see about that. I usually don't buy liquid mattes with shimmer (I tried one from Sephora and it was a disaster), because the formula is always a bit different but if it is like the others, I will be satisfied.

Thank you, [@]Prettypackages[/@]! Did you take a pic with Rose Ashes on?
