New here...my FOTN (of the night since I just did it)

[afgpak11]

Hello! I have been around for a few days now and I absolutely love all of the looks I see! Bare Escentuals(BE) makeup has already broken my pocketbook but I can see MAC is going to put me into serious debt if I'm not careful. So many colors are on my wants list now thanks to you all

Here is my look that I just did after my shower tonight. There is nothing more that I love than greens and purples, so if I do happen to post FOTD at any point it'll more than likely be in those color schemes.

And hopefully watching some tutorials, etc...I can be as good as you all. I envy the artistic skill you all hold

. One day...

This is beautiful. OMG I am so jealous of all you ladies with perfect skin, *sighs* lol. I love the green on you, its soft and pretty and I love the pink lips. Great job

You look very pretty! Can't wait to see more!

So now my questions for you ladies are...does the NC35 look like a good match for me?

And notice the dark circles? I used NW20 concealer on them and they're still there! Am I not using enough or wrong color or ... ?

Thanks!

Lovely look

I would love to see a bit more definition in the eyes

I so don't see dark circles, but an NW20 is awfully light for an NC35-Try the NW30. If you go too light it can look pasty...Just get a sample from the counter and try it out for a few days.
I'm glad you posted! Keep it up!

Okay, I just went to the counter today because I've always felt like NC35 is too light for me and sure enough we did NC40 and it matches SO much better. So, tomorrow I'm headed back to the MAC counter and trading my NC35 in for an NC40...and I'll also bring my NW20 concealer and see what they suggest for a better concealer. Thanks!!

Since I'm new at this...can you give me an example of more definition? I am willing to try and learn!
