NYX's Y2K lip liner is close to Nightmoth. I think CartoonChic has them both so maybe she can swatch them?

And if she was sick - either she was or a relative, being in a hospital - it's possible the other makeup was to make her look very healthy to fool off what was making her (or her relative) ill.
There are a lot of cultures in the Middle East and South Asia in which people put eyeliner (originally kohl or antimony) on small children (female and male) because it is believed to keep away eye disease.
None of this makes putting makeup on a 6 month old a safe or healthy thing to do. I do not approve of it, but it makes it more understandable.
Well, we have a really awful TV show in the UK called Big Fat Gypsy Weddings. Let's just say that her family could be featured....
Oh and she wasn't sick, I think her brother was admitted for a cold or something??

You're gonna stop trying to talk me into Seductive Intent! It's bad enough you got me wanting Flatter Me when I saw how great it looked on you.

Oh, the Gypsy Wedding show. Little girls dressed in midriff baring dressings while dancing in a sexually suggestive manner. Where boys are encouraged to violate girls by forcing them [the girls] to kiss them if they are interested in them. I struggle to understand their ways, but I just can't turn away from that show.

I'm here!!! Ok, as i said before, if you have later and moonlight night, you can skip Ronnie's piggies. As for Betty's, pinked mauve is a bit darker than CMD. Da bling would be a good dube in shadow form. Quietly is a bit more lilacy. LIL could be duped by brill (it's and oldie if you can find it). Of all the pigments tho, LIL is one that will work on all skintones, and can be very soft, or very dramatic, depending on what you put with it.

I don't have any of these but they are all very close dupes. I think the middle one has more glitter. Ugh... they look so purple on you more than the ugly brown on my wrist. Now I waaaant. Lol.OK, i'm a day late. But here it is, as promised, Veronica's Feelin' So Good Lipglass and Venomous Villains Wrong Spell. Also starring Styledriven Dark as Night Pro Longwear Lipglass. Wrong Spell is a browner plum, Dark as Night is a deeper bluer plum, and Feelin' So Good is a bit pinker with a bit less glitter than the other two.
Left: Wrong Spell; Center: Dark as Night; Right: Feelin' So Good
Top: Wrong Spell; Center: Dark as Night; Bottom: Feelin' So Good

i was trying to search the thread for this, without luck...can anyone tell me a mac dupe for caramel sundae of the caramel sundae quad?
looking through my collection, i thought amazon is pretty similar to dreammaker, if anyone has that...it was in one of the raquel welch quads.

I backed up Cream Soda even though it seems to be easily available (at Nordies and the like) am I a crazy person? I never, ever buy back ups and I am not even an Archie fan.
