I know it's boring, it's only two colours (not counting browbone), but I was in a hurry. My eyes seemed more Asian today than usual. I'm half Asian and there are days when I look more like my Euro side, and days where I look more like my Asian side. Today was Asian day, as my eyelids seemed to...

This is the basic Ben Nye Lumiere palette that comes in the cool metal case, retail is $60ish. Room Lighting vs. Flash of palette: Swatches on my driver's arm (which is pretty tan, probably NC20), over UDPP. Ben Nye products listed with BN, MAC has no prefix. I only swatched MAC colors...

Hello, Denizens of Spektra, remember me? Happy Valentine's Day! I've been sick the last three days with the flu So I've been feeling really down and out on all sorts of levels, but the Mr. took me out anyway, even though we didn't stay out long, because he wanted to make me smile We only...

I know there are often questions about the difference between the eyeshadow vs. the pigment, so I swatched them on my forearm, which is probably an NC15 (my face is NC20 in the winter). Vanilla eyeshadow is what I use as my daily browbone highlight. It's not as frosty as Vanilla pigment, which...

Hi lovely people of Spektra! This isn't really a detailed tutorial (please move if it's in the wrong thread), just more of a before/after thing. First eyebrows, then how to salvage an "empty" UDPP tube. This is dedicated to the people who don't think that grooming eyebrows makes a difference...

So this year is when I started buying MAC pretty much exclusively, after giving up on drugstore cosmetics and NYX. Prior to this year I only owned Russian Red lipstick and a handful of pigment samples I'd bought off eBay back when sellers were allowed to auction off samples. Two things I've...

So like a lemming, I went and bought Parrot today. Here's my first attempt at using it. I was afraid I'd look like a hooker with this, so it's applied really lightly. My flash still washes out the color though, it's not THIS light in person And a full face, which I'm still afraid of...

Hey Spektra folk! Long time no post, but my youngest son's 10th birthday + finals week + holidays = me being pwned totally. I have been completely uninspired and in a massive makeup rut lately It's the same neutrals with nary a hint of color. My self esteem reflects in the color choices I...

Hiiii Here are four different looks over the last few days. I'm trying out a new mascara, it's Maybelline Define A Lash. I feel like I'm cheating on my regular mascara, but I can't resist trying out a new mascara every now and then. I'm not sure if I like this mascara, it helps with length...

I'm a bit intimidated, I must admit, but here goes... my first EOTD on Spektra. Please be gentle, lol It's that time of the month and I'm feeling awful, so I put on some makeup and went window shopping I should have used a base though, but it was a rush 10 minute job. Pardon the stray brow...
