Theme Makeup with a Purpose

[Medgal07]

I've been wanting to use my old Chanel stylos for a while now. Mixing the colors and everything. I couldn't remember the combination I used to do but I found and old card for a look from Collection L'ete Papillon de Chanel. The card calls it Electric Eyes. It kind of looks like the picture but the model is clearly wearing a turquoise liner on the top lash line but this look had no mention of it. I was kind of in a rush today so I didn't do the blue liner or colored mascara or nail polish with it (Azure) was recommended.

Because of you and katred's look above I pulled out Jade Shore too!

And I love Calacas, but I sadly don't own any of the newer Lush perfumes - but I still have Olive branch that I adore.

Love that!


I did the first proper tropical look today. My week was completely insane and we reached the 100s (F) again today, so yeah, wasn't really in the mood for more than the most basic of looks.
Plus I had a bad reaction to a Shiseido sunscreen I used over the weekend - the worst breakout in years. I looked awful.

So, I did something blue today - it became a rather moody blue, but I like it.

Face:
Skinceuticals Mineral SPF50
MAC Mineralize Loose
BareMinerals Concealer (for breakouts)
Bourjois Concealer (undereyes)
MAC Ring of Saturn MB

Eyes:
Chanel Jade Shore (lid)
Mac Suave Intentions (outer corner into crease)
Vex (inner corner)
L'Oreal Infallible in Sultry Smoke (transition shade)
Blanc Type (under browbone)
Typographic (outer v)

Essence brow gel
L'Oreal Miss Manga mascara

Lips: right now only Flurry of Fun l/g which compliments the blue on the eyes, but I'll go out later and want to layer it over a coral or something like that. Haven't decided yet!

 

[Anneri]

Sooooo, I was rooting through my e/s drawer this morning and saw Nars Kauai there. I immediately chose it for today's tropical look - not because of the colour scheme but because of the name.

FACE: Skinceuticals Mineral SPF50
MAC Mineralize Loose
BareMinerals Concealer (for breakouts)
Bourjois Concealer (undereyes)
MAC Modest MB

EYES:
UDPP
Nars Kauai silvery gold all over lid
Nars Kauai purple into crease and blended upwards
MAC Typographic (outer v)
MAC Blanc Type (inner corners and under browbone)
MAC Quarry (transition)
Essence brow gel
Catrice mascara

Lips:
Burberry Coral Glow lipgloss

Good idea. I was short on time the other day and didn't have time for a well thought out tropical look. I did wear Colourpop Summer Lovin eyeshadow which makes me think of the beach for some reason so I was stretching it.

 

[Shars]

I had such a fail week with this theme and I was so excited about it. I've been really busy and short on sleep so haven't had enough time in the mornings to do my makeup. Only thing tropical I got to do was my nails and my makeup on Wednesday was tropical-ish lol. Hopefully I can still do something fun this weekend.

 

[Icecaramellatte]

I stuck with the green idea today. Think Greenery of the Rainforest or something. Actually I think the eyeshadow I wore might have worked for next week's theme.

LOVE the eye look and how you paired peach cheeks w/it. I love that color combo!!! Years ago I wore olive
green E/S w/peach/orange lipstick for the longest time. It was like my uniform

Really pretty. You nailed the theme!!!

Thank you so much!!

 

[starletta8]

I'll be interested to see what people do for pastels week, but I'm likely out due to the weather. I can't fathom pastels with heat indices well over 100 and humid.

.........but your hands and feet can.

Paint your nails in pastel colors and you'll be on-theme. I love wearing light/soft colored clothing in the heat too, because where I
am clothing is not optional---it's required.


Pastels Week Monday August 17 --- Sunday August 23

 

[Medgal07]

Thank you so much!!

I was primarily on theme w/everything except my eye looks. It just worked out that way somehow. I wore blue eye shadow looks for three days and then neutrals on the
eyes with bright lips, nails and cheeks.

Maybe Tuesday... Monday's all about red hot and attitude for some reason.
