Theme Makeup with a Purpose

[Medgal07]

I'll pop in with a run down of my Friday look in a bit, but I was just curious what people were thinking for next week? I'm also very impressed with my consistency this week; I haven't missed a single day!

for your consistency Twinkle_Twinkle.

Hopefully folks will start to weigh in about what they's like to do for next week.

Starletta, I hope you're feeling better. The TF Ice Queen was a good choice for the theme. I'd forgotten all about it DT Product Overload!

How do you like Erable?

I understand your love for Telesto----it's gorgeous

for your consistency Twinkle_Twinkle.

Hopefully folks will start to weigh in about what they's like to do for next week.

We could do Starletta's Country Meadow theme since we haven't done yellows or browns yet.

I agree ladies! When you propose a theme, please also provide the colors included in your vision.

 

[Shars]

Sounds good to me but I think a country meadow would also have varying shades of green and other colors too.

I would think there would be a contingent of
colorful wild flowers.

Yes, Meddy. That's what I thought of when Starletta said Country Meadow. The greens, yellows and browns from the grass and other foliage with the bright colours for flowers thrown in where desired.

Hm... How about some meadow inspiration? Think we can do this?

This is EXACTLY what I thought of!! These pics make me feel so relaxed as well! Thanks for posting these

Chicago too! LOL

Ugh. You have my sympathies. It rained briefly here today, although it was 34C (mid-nineties) most of the time. Still seems pretty steamy outside.

As I mentioned, I did a silver look yesterday with Melt My Heart from the Reelers and Rockers palette (thanks to the member who brought that one up!), along with White Rabbit (from the same) and Carbon- basically just used to deepen the silver colour at the outer angles. I had a combination of Nars Day Dream and Guerlain Cruel Gardenia on the cheeks and Mac Sonoran Rain (from the Bloggers collection) on the lips. That is such a beautiful gloss. Shame they didn't make those items permanent.

Today, I went with Nars Kauai, because I love me a purple and gold look! I added a little of the icy purple shade from Nars Tropical Princess as well- in the inner corners and to soften the edges of the dark purple from Kauai. I have Clinique Pansy Pop on the Cheeks and Bite Butter Cream lipstick in Moka on my lips. Moka was a present from a friend and it isn't the type of shade I'd ever pick out for myself because it's so brown. I'm still not entirely sure about it, but The Great Enabler loves it, so it's staying in rotation.

So other than the one day I didn't wear makeup, I stuck with the theme all week! YAY! I love how our challenges are inspiring me to pull out things I rarely use and to try looks that are outside my comfort zone.

I'm interested in the Hot Tropics theme mentioned earlier. When will the voting start? New to this. Thanks.

I meant to put Chanel Ardent on the lower lash line but somehow forgot. When I stopped at Tom Ford today the MA asked if I was wearing Golden Sunset on my eyes. I thought it was interesting because when I put the glittery shade on with a brush I kept thinking I should have pat it on with a finger like I do the Tom Ford glitters.

Thanks, Meddy. I have chronic and debilitating migraines. This was the worst one I've ever dealt with. Luckily I'm bouncing back now.

To be honest, that was my first time pulling out Ice Queen after nabbing it at the local CCO a couple of months ago. I should be ashamed, I have another untried TF quad.

Erable is AMAZING. You need it. It's gorgeous on the lower lash line, the upper lash line... anywhere.

There could also be sheep in the meadow

That's the beauty of country meadows- they have a little bit of all colors, but are generally vibrant and healthy!

YES! This is what I was thinking!
