Theme Makeup with a Purpose

Medgal07 · Sep 14, 2015

Very quiet here in these parts (channeling my inner cow girl) for sure. I was away since Friday-----another wedding. I need to get caught up so we can roll into fall with some
looks based on fall scenes that inspire us???? Perhaps?????

Medgal07 · Sep 22, 2015

We've had a nice little break! Is anyone ready for fall???? Ready or not---for some of us it starts tomorrow at 4:21 AM. I was thinking we could approach a fall theme the way we did the city skylines....let the scenery/fall foliage around us to be our inspiration for our makeup looks. Things by me are slow because of unseasonably warm weather, so there's still a lot of green. Today is the first day that our temperature is commensurate for the season, but it's supposed to be 80 degrees for our first full day of fall. I'll willing to jump right in and start using fall colors in anticipation of what's to come!!!

Please join me!!!!!

BTW: No makeup for me today-----I have a late afternoon dental appointment

Hi Med!!!

I thought we'd lost you to the TF/Chanel/Loub threads!

It's fall here all right - we had some nice sunny, clear but cool days (my fave!!!), but today it's grey and raining. I've been slacking a bit because I had products to test for the blog and things to do before we're going away on vacation to Italy in a few days.That will prolong my summer makeup for a bit!

Oh, and hope the appointment will be ok. The dentist is my nemesis. I'm always so afraid and will start to cry in the end.

I'm tired of sweating, man!!! The a/c in my car is broken too, so it's not blowing cool air

At least I know my foundation and primer works 'cause they haven't melted off my face on my way to work lol.

Me!! How did you like it today? Today I used Becca's Champagne Pop with the blush from the MAC x Sharon Osbourne collection and it was very pretty. I really think that Champagne Pop was worth the hype.

Nice! I did a look kinda like this today. But more of the in the water reflection of the sky line! I need to go to selfie classes. I always try to take a selfie to share my eyelooks with y'all but they never translate like how the IG girls' own translate haha.

OMG same here! I don't know how they do it. If I find any tips I'll post them.

Ok, I'm sneaking back in getting caught up and seeing where we are. I pretty much wore the same looks while out of town but did the PRETTIEST green eye look with Armani's eye tint. I'll be doing that one again soon.

I use whatever mattifying primer I like, then over the primer, I use Sephora's smoothing translucent setting powder and then my foundation on top. I prefer the powder under because I feel I have less of a cast. I then set my foundation with whatever finishing powder I choose. Mostly I use one of the MAC MSFs. Then I may or may not set with a spray (UD or Ben Nye). I think the key to this whole thing is the Sephora powder and my actual foundation - Estee Lauder Double Matte.

Double Matte?!? There's a shade for us in that?

I prefer warm weather but I like my heat in moderation. We've been having some rain but all that does it make things really humid until it falls.

Yes ma'am. For us and the darker berries lol. The one I have I picked up at a CCO and the shade has been discontinued so I'm not sure what my equivalent in the current line would be. The shade I have is called Warm Chestnut. That foundation lasts alllll day on me with hardly any touchups - even in this beast of a summer - and it looks natural. Even when the oil breaks through, it looks natural.
