    Debra Lippman Nail Polish

    Anyone have any thoughts on these products? I picked up a couple the other day (Bad Romance and Wicked Game) and I'm wearing it for the first time. The colour is lovely and quite original, but I have to say that I'm unsure that there's anything that justifies the price- roughly double that of...

    fluidline vs. chromaline

    Subject kind of says it all. Does anyone have any thoughts on how these compare, or how different they are from one another? Have a preference for one or the other?

    Purple lipsticks/ lip colour question

    I'm wearing Lavender Whip today and I noticed something that I can't quite account for. My lips are fairly pigmented, especially for a pale girl, although they're not what you'd call dark. Nonetheless, they seem to really affect the tone of the lipstick I'm wearing, unless the formula is very...

    Shadowy Spring Forecast Villain

    This is a look I came up with for a friend's birthday dinner. It's not too dramatic to be an everyday look, though. I totally love the purples and there are a lot of them in here... Products used Eyes Lightfall- as highlight and over the centre of the lid Smudged Violet- inner corner and...

    Mixed Nuts- A thread for the mentally interesting

    I've read a number of people commenting on the fact that they have struggled with depression, anxiety and other mental disorders and illnesses and that they have gone through therapy, tried different medications, etc. So I thought it might be an idea to start a thread on the subject, a forum...

    look from a film

    I figured I'd post these, although they're not the clearest pictures of the make-up job from a film I worked on. One of the fun parts of being in a very indie picture is that you get to be your own make-up artist. The film hasn't been released yet, but is called Conversion. And yes, that really...

    Going Tribalist...

    smoky bubblegum

    FOTD for a scorching summer night

    I was trying to pick a palette that went with sweltering heat (it's been nearly 40C/ 100F even at night here) for a DJ gig I had. This is what I came up with. Incredibly, my face didn't melt...

    party look

    A friend of mine had a party with a "WTF" dress code. I wore a Darkthrone t-shirt, a skirt silk-screened with flyer from old punk shows and a gigantic crinoline. This is the make-up I selected to go with it. I love parties where I can just feel like myself... Products Used (All MAC unless...

    Can't wait for Cruella...

    I was looking at some of the early VV swatches and I decided that I could do a "pre-release" variation of the Cruella eye colours (but not the rest of the face) from my existing stash. (Note from my conscience- In theory, this means that I shouldn't need to think about buying any products that...

    First attempt at a FOTD!

    OK, I'm hoping this works all right. Sorry some of the images are a bit fuzzy- I'm gtting the hang of positioning the camera properly. Anyway, this was a look I did for a night out. I normally go for cooler colours, but this seemed like a good "hot summer night" kind of experiment. I realise the...
