    Question about Mac's white e/s

    So I went by one of my local counters a little while back, and thinking back on how it went down, I'm a little bothered. I know all of the people that work at one of them, and one of the guys I know helped me on that day. I was looking for a very opaque white. The guy showed me 4 -- Gesso, White...

    I dub this the cool tones week

    I seem to be obsessed with cool tones this week... I think I'm gonna do a green look tomorrow to break it up. I forgot how beautiful Tilt is! This look is great, it's everything I wanted my last mermaid-esque look to be. So I was inspired this morning by someone else's inspiration of my...

    Sunset look

    My intention for this was for it to be a sunset look... it didn't come out how I wanted really but I still like it. I'm having major issues with either my TFSI, eyeshadows, or brushes. I feel like I can't get vibrant color payoff lately, everything I do is just shimmery with a hint of...

    Villainous Violets

    This reminded me of an evil villain or something... it didn't quite capture on camera but especially when I had this on at night, it was very dark and sultry. I liked it. I wanted to add some teal glitter but that's why I need a sample of Mac's Teal Reflects glitter... lol! More info on my...

    Awkward ex-bf now friends issue

    I'm just a needy little advice person, aren't I? lol! I would normally talk to my fiance about this kind of stuff, but I know he will just tell me to not be friends with him anymore if I can't put up with it. I'm curious to hear some other opinions on this. I'm still friends with my most...

    This is really tough for me

    This could turn out to be a bit more of a rant then a "help me get some solutions" post, and I'm definitely typing this on the fly. I'm getting in married in about 2 months, we're waiting on his visa at the moment, and I know that is causing some additional stress on me. I am completely and...

    Wedding makeup

    This kind of thing has been posted a lot but my circumstances are a bit different. I'm having a very small ceremony with my fiance in July and I live in Virginia, so very very humid. I'm wanting to avoid a lot of heavy makeup because it will melt throughout the day. I've already picked up my...

    My Most Dramatic Yet

    This is by far my most dramatic look to date... I have no idea where this came from, just popped into my head last night. I wish I could find a more opaque matte white... it's not quite as white as I wanted it, and the liner is a bit wonky. I also had a really hard time working with the...

    Makeup w/ Dress recommendations

    Hi all! Hopefully my fiance will be flying in this Friday and I plan on wearing a new dress that I got to the airport. I've been staring at it for two days now and can't decide on what kind of makeup to do. So I'm looking for suggestions! Tried to find a picture online but no luck (even though...

    Good gold eyeshadow

    From any brand to be honest... I'm pretty pale with slight pink undertones (I can wear NC or NW shades in Mac, it depends on the day, literally). I've been looking for a good gold eyeshadow and haven't had much luck. I want really gold -- as in foiled. I have a silver from Lancome that I LOVE...

    To fringe or not to fringe

    I'm debating getting fringe bangs, kinda like: http://www.thecinemasource.com/movie...e_Hathaway.jpg I thought at first that my fiance would hate it but he thinks it would be sort of hot on me. I'm pretty heavily considering it... what are your thoughts? Pic of me: If you've had it, what...

    Needed: Serious eyebrow help

    So I got into makeup a little over a year ago and shortly after realized I needed to do something with my brows. I started plucking stray hairs and then it escalated into filling them in, plucking them more... all of this started from a MUA who told me I already had a good eyebrow shape and just...
