Theme Makeup with a Purpose

[Medgal07]

I can definitely do a nude or a pink week (I can do a year

), I'd have trouble with red and orange is impossible

When we run into issues like color incompatibility, selecting an alternative is at the participants discretion.
We don't want this to be a punishment by making you wear a color that doesn't work for you.

I'm on board if we do colour weeks again - but I'd prefer it if it's not restricted to lip products only!

In other news I finished the highlighter challenge today! Woot! My last combo was Guerlain Madame Rougit with Bourjois Poudre de Riz de Java as a highlighter.

Okay---someone select a color that we'll wear the first week in June. I'm a bit distracted at the moment---leaving
town tomorrow for a Friday night wedding, so i'm planning and packing, etc. I think it would be fun to incorporate
the 'challenge color' in any way that the participant chooses---eyeliner/ eyeshadow/ lipstick/ blush, etc

​ Congrats on completing the highlighter challenge

How about we start of with a peach/coral and bronze week? I'm biased b/c I love peach. That way we can have a mix of products in the color family.
I participated in about 4 days of this challenge. If I remember them, I'll come back and post. I have no idea where these Months keep going.

MKop, that look is gorgeous!

Thank you!
I'm up for a bronze week! Coral/peach is a shade that looks horrible on my lips but I like it for blush and maybe even eyeshadows.

Today's highlighter was Nectar, I really liked it! I studied a lot last night and didn't sleep much - today I used Nectar as a blush, then the lightest shade as a highlighter - it really gave me life!
The lipstick was MAC Velvet teddy.

How about this: we do the whole bronze goddess thing (browns, coppers and bronze) for the first week, and peach/coral the second? Everybody could choose how to wear the colours - on lips, eyes, cheeks, nails, wherever. Coral eyes sound very intriguing to me right now!

This sounds good, and would allow us to use more products.

I personally would like to see if there were looks that you talented ladies saw in magazines or on celebrities etc that you liked and copied but I'm not sure if that could cover a month

That's cool. That's what I meant, any color can be worn anywhere... Did you have Coral Crepe paint pot by MAC? I did, it was disastrous on me. Now that it is pulling from the edges, I refuse to get rid of it.


A Wicked Shape, we can incorporate that with our color...
SO in addition to a color a week, once a week pick a look you like from a magazine.. Are we still doing a different lippie a day? We could still incorporate a different lippie, blush, shadow, highlight a day within our specific color range, if you have enough to do it.

I seem to do well with challenges that tell me what I have to wear.

I had it and sold it two years ago. I honestly didn't know what to do with it and it always looked slightly weird in each attempt. Now I think that I just didn't know how to wear it!

I love the idea with a special look from a magazine or something! I did a different eyeshadow placement this week for the first time and it was such a fun look! Here's the tutorial for it (it's in German, but the pics speak for themselves I guess): http://www.chocolate-bit.ch/2011/11/swooshtorial.html

We're still doing the lipstick challenge and I still fail spectacularly in it.

I need to pull out my Evil Eye quad. I can only hope I get that level of pigment out of it. I want to try that look though.

Hey ladies! I'm liking the sound of peach/coral and bronze week. And we can use any products (lip, eye, cheek etc.) but incorporate those colours for that week.

And y'all July ladies, wait your turn! It's us June ladies' time to shine

Guys! Guyyyyys! I GOT THE JOB! Ahhh! I left my last job in anticipation of getting it and during my mini vacation I started slipping. I haven't worn makeup most days, and the days I have, I haven't tracked what was on my face. That's ok though, I was almost done with highlighters, done with blush, and started to cycle back through my lipsticks. Also decided to not use my Soft and Gentle and I'm still unsure of the Candlelight Duo from Too Faced. It's seems like it may be too icy on my skin tone. My last two are Camelia de Plumes and the highlight from Pink Glow. I'm still trying to decide if I should do a blog post on the eye and cheek palette so it's sitting on my vanity unused in case of photos lol. The new summer challenge ideas all sound great, too! I'm excited to jump back in!

I hope your first day went well..

I'm in here trying to figure out what I'm wearing to work tomorrow...

Did Meddy come back to sign off on what our color is this week?

The lipstick was MAC Velvet teddy.

I love this combo. Again a nod to yet another one of your recommendations----I love Nectar and took it with me on our trip! Velvet Teddy is one of my favorite MAC
nude lippies!!!
