Theme Makeup with a Purpose

[sagehen]

[COLOR=0000FF]  No worries Pretty.  I've had a couple of No Makeup Days----just life.   [/COLOR]:sigh:

Same here. I am sitting at home on a workday, barefaced, as I type. I wanted to experiment with a new foundation today (testing my summer combo since it will be warm).

After spending a week abroad, I'm happy to have all my makeup again. Even though I tend to wear the same look all the time, I felt genuinely upset because I had only a very limited amount of products with me

I like to know, that I can wear something, if I suddenly get the urge to do that. With this being said, today I wore products I rarely reach for:

Face:
D&G Perfect luminous liquid foundation 78
NARS creamy concealer Chantilly
MAC Light boost
Chanel Poudre universelle libre 20
D&G Tan
Guerlain Sheer bronzing powder 04 Sun blondes
Guerlain Sun Celebration - the orange+bronzer parts as a blush
Benefit Sun beam

Eyes:
UDPP
Zoeva rose golden palette - Luster and Harmony in the crease; Copper is King on the lower lash line
Guerlain Ecrin 4 Couleurs 13 Capri - coral on the lid; shimmery white in the inner corner
MAC Vanilla pigment in the inner corner
D&G Desert - warm brown to define the crease
Kiko long lasting stick eyeshadow 45(nude) on the waterline
Chanel Le volume

Lips:
MAC Prep+prime
Givenchy 202 Rose dressing - applied very very lightly

Sounds like a gorgeous spring look! How are you liking the rose golden palette? I've only been moderately interested in Zoeva's shadows. I like the look of the eye pencils more.

Thank you! I really like the palette! The metallic shades are very very pigmented and buttery, they are easy to apply and blend. The matte shades are also amazing, which surprised me because usually matte eyeshadows at this price don't perform well. I use the matte taupe shade (Harmony) in my crease very often and it doesn't crease or disappear.
I've been meaning to try the Karma pencil for a while but I rarely reach for eye liners, so I probably don't need it.

Today I am wearing some pinkish-peach TooFaced blush that came in a palette and WnW Fergie Fucshianista. CHALLENGE lol! I plan to wear blue tomorrow so I am feeling like I will wear some obnoxiously bright red lip (maybe Sephora Cream Lip Stain in Strawberry Kisses) and La Femme Red powder blush. We shall see how that pans out.

Love your soft makeup looks. I was unfamiliar with the Zoeva palette, so I looked it up---lovely!!!!!

At least you have a plan Sage! I've been winging it or letting my nail polish that I tend to change at bedtime be the impetus o my makeup looks.

I blame the weather! I need it to be constantly warm---not one day coat free and the next requiring winter coats & boots!

Your look sounds very pretty! I've been really into lilac lately - I can't wait to get Wow factor from MAC is Beauty! And I'm also wearing a lilac NP - Barry M Prickly pear.

Thank you!

Thanks Maggie---I'm preparing myself for the Chanel items that I ordered in Purple---trying to ease myself into the color which I'm not convinced looks at all good on me,
by wearing lilac. I looked up your NP---that's a very pretty lilac!!!

Continuing on! April 9th-16th: Lipstick: MAC Victoriana Tom Ford Pussycat Tom Ford Julian Bite Damask Givenchy Carmin Escarpin MAC Girl About Town NARS Dominique Givenchy Corail Decolette Blush: MAC Coygirl Tarte Flush Becca Papaya Tarte Natural Beauty NARS Mata Hari theBalm Lace Tarte Tipsy MAC Victoriana is kind of a cheat, I didn't wear any makeup that day (which is why I'm short a blush) but when I got my package in the mail I threw the lipstick on and loved it! I'm excited to get through the challenge so I can start re-wearing some of these bad boys. I'm also not sure how I feel about Givenchy Corail Decolette, which I wore today. I forgot how neon it was and I know it's a great summer shade but I wasn't feeling it. I had to blot to dull it down before I felt comfortable. I may CB it, making my grand total 2 so far -- well, 3. I decided not to keep YSL Fuchsia in Rage (19) but I've never worn it and don't intend to.

That was not "a cheat," Jay. You did that for research right? That shouldn't count!!!

I'm sure it looks great on you! I'm trying to ease myself into wearing any colour - I only wear nudes/browns/golds during the day and I feel like everyone is staring at me, when I'm wearing purple or green

I've started with soft pink and I liked it, the coral from the Guerlain Emilio Pucci palette was a bit too much for me though.

I do too, but I've learned if I don't, move on. LOL I'll never let another job effect me like this one did.

​I can imagine your struggle going from nudes to colors, and then trying to break the mold in your environment at the same time. I love nudes and their quiet clean
sophistication but sometimes a girl just needs some color!!!
