Theme Makeup with a Purpose

[Shars]

I didn't wear makeup today since I had a doctor's appointment for an allergy test but I bought some purple eyeshadows! That totally counts, right?!

Totally counts!

I do a lot of corals and nudes- but I've found berry lipsticks work well, too!

really? I'm going to try that when we redo our green week.

I'll come back in later to get caught up... I just needed to know our color for the week.

Do we know what we are doing after red?

 

[Medgal07]

I had a few more greens that I had forgotten about... *geesh*

I did, I hd sooo much fun with green week. I'll post my looks later.

geez... too many colors. LOL

really? I'm going to try that when we redo our green week.

The week after RED is up for grabs. We have good suggestions. We haven't yet done BLUE either.

Does anyone feel like we should do 2 weeks at a time of a color or do you prefer one week and then starting over after we exhaust all of our color options????

I vote for 1 week, keeps it fresh and on our toes and we'll just start over.

I love the one week idea- lots of change is the best.

Doing a quick drive-by on Purple Week posts so I don't get too far behind. For someone who loves the shade, I feel like I'm not all-in. However, that's my insane schedule this week talking.

Purple Week Day One (Monday):
Primers: Guerlain Meteorites (face), NARS (eyes)
Foundation: Tom Ford Traceless Perfecting
Powder: Chanel Les Beiges #10
Concealers: NARS & NARS Creamy (eyes)
Blush: Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush- Diffused Heat
Bronzer: Guerlain Terracotta 4 Seasons 00 Nude
Highlighter: ColourPop Hippo
Brows: Tom Ford Brow Perfecter
Eyeshadow: Burberry Sheer #02 Trench, Tom Ford Lavender Lust Quad (Upper R, Lower L)
Eyeliner: NARS 413BLKR
Mascara: Chanel Le Volume
Lipliner: ColourPop Julep
Lipstick: Dior Addict Extreme Diablotine
Lipgloss: Dior Diablotine
Mani: Chanel Sweet Lilac
Pedi: Christian Louboutin Lovi

A word on this look and my outfit. The main colors I had were poppy red accents and light teal eyelet skirt. The only purple on my clothing was a bit of pinky purple part of a floral cardigan. This was my attempt to ease into the idea of purple of red going together. After I saw a blog post a couple of months ago, I was totally inspired to try my own version: http://www.makeupandbeautyblog.com/mac-makeup/look-vivacious-violet-eyes-righteous-red-glossy-lips-using-new-mac-toledo-collection/



Purple Week Day Two (Tuesday):
Primers: Guerlain Meteorites (face), NARS (eyes)
Foundation: Tom Ford Traceless Perfecting
Powder: Chanel Les Beiges #10
Concealers: NARS & NARS Creamy (eyes)
Blush: Giorgio Armani Sheer Blush #10
Bronzer: Guerlain Terracotta 4 Seasons 00 Nude
Brows: Tom Ford Brow Perfecter
Eyeshadow: Burberry Sheer #02 Trench, Urban Decay Toasted (Crease), Urban Decay ACDC (lid)
Eyeliner: NARS 413BLKR (upper), Marc Jacobs Highliner (Luna)tic
Mascara: Chanel Le Volume
Lipliner: Sephora Collection Universal Lipliner
Lipstick: Tom Ford Flamingo
Finishing Powder: Laura Mercier Translucent Setting Powder
Setting: Guerlain Crazy Meteorites
Mani: Tom Ford Dominatrix
Pedi: Christian Louboutin Lovi

To be honest, today wasn't all about purple. I had purple lids, nails, and pedi, but this was all about edgy black and pink today. I threw in my original TF polish love for the shade and name.

Tomorrow I have the most important presentation of my career to upper management and I need to look incredibly conservative. I predict only pedi, possibly mani to be on-theme.

Nice!!! I love purple and red together!!! Both looks sound really nice.

I'm with the others- a week at a time keeps me on my toes.

Today I'm wearing dark purple and plum and so I used TF Pink Glow with Gucci Ultra Violet as my purple eyeshadow and Chanel Antoinette Rouge Coco. End of day pic:

Sigh. So lovely. Today was about plummy shades for me. Face: Nars luminous weightless foundation "mont blanc" Nars radiant creamy concealer "vanilla" Mac Golden Lariat MSF (warm bronzer, soft burnt red blush, gold highlight) Hourglass Ambient Lighting palette (dim light, incandescent light, radiant light- yup, used all three) Eyes Hourglass modernist eye shadow palette "exposure" (I used the first, third and fifth shades layered, which worked very well) Also used Incandescent Light as a highlight along the brow and in the inner corners UD liner "demolition" Dior New Look mascara Lips: Mac l/l Magenta Hourglass l/g Siren Siren is such an incredible shade, like molten lava. Since I'm cooler toned, I like the cool, bright shade underneath the hot colour of the gloss. The look was mostly about playing around with contouring and highlighting. I ended up with a warm summer look that worked surprisingly well.

 

[sagehen]

I wore the same face products as yesterday, except for LaFemme Grape blush, no e/s, lots of mascara and OCC Lip Tar in Belladonna.

I think I'll be seriously slacking during purple week - it's gotten incredibly hot over here (it'll be over 104 over the weekend), we have no AC and an appartment right under the roof that gets really hot. I'm wearing nearly nothing on my face right now and guess I won't do anything apart from powder, mascara and a bit of gloss. I want it to be cooler right now!!! *stamps foot*

 

[Prettypackages]

^^^^Please send us some of that heat. It is only going to get up to 70 today?

 

[awickedshape]

Pretty AWS---love the color combo!!!

Okay

YESSSS!!!

Agreed

It's UNANIMOUS.

We all like the weekly color themes!!!!!


Thank you @Medgal07!!!

Those shades are lovely together. I always slack on combining shades from different palettes. Today was pretty basic- Strange, Nooner and Darkside from the Naked 3 palette as shadows and UD Smoke eye liner, with Dior Cheek and Lip on the cheeks only and Armani Sheer 600, a soft, cool-leaning plum on the lips. Very hectic day today, since I'd agreed to help friends move. Why did I do that? WHY did I do that? I love these people, but when I showed up, a lot of stuff wasn't even packed. I spent about four and a half hours stuffing things in boxes and finally had to come home to rest a little. I might have to go back and help get stuff into the new place later, although I'm inordinately sore. Not sure how great a friend I feel like being at the moment.
