Sooo I was "talking" to Indiagirl73 on MUA. And I was telling her how I think people are very supportive here on specktra in terms of giving REAL constructive criticism (not insults disguised as constructive criticism). . . which in turn only helps you get better. And I was trying to encourage her to post FOTD pictures saying how horrible some of my old ones were and that, yes, everyone gets better with practice. And you continue to get better - the process never ends. Sooo, in light of that, I'm going to share some of my old horrid FOTD's that I look back at and cringe. As for colors used, I'll do my best to remember if anyone wants to know whats what. And I encourage you all to share some of your old, not so good, FOTD's.
These are all about 1 or 2 years old. In no particular order . . .
The day I picked Miss_gigi up from the airport.
Flammable, mythology Don't make fun of the hair please. Makeup's okay, but not the hair. It looks weird from the chemo. 75% fell out . . . in random patches.
Apparently I had never heard of matte shadows. I had pretty much rolled around in All Girl.
I know this was Chromezone 3 palette . . . probably Slightly Off lipliner and not sure on the gloss/lipstick.
Probably steamy and old gold?
Bitter/parrot/scheme/white frost
My first interview (with MAC) face. I took these after I got back. Because on that day I realized I had to cut my hair so that all of it was short . . . not 75% short and 25% long. And I cut bangs . . .
My second interview face (different counter). This is the one that got me in
Yes my hair was really THAT short.
All girl . . .stomp and sketch? Oh and definitely a different camera - my old one.
Chromezone 1 palette and shag
pink bronze/motif/hepcat?
HA! I was actually proud of this at one point. This was day I got hired with MAC. I didn't wear this to my interview, but the night of when we went out to celebrate. I still like the concept, but the application SUCKS. Blue Storm and Bright Fuschia pigments with White Frost eyeshadow.
UM, hi brow color? Or lack thereof . . . I know I used Sushi Flower.
Total MESS. On my birthday, no less. Last year.
THIS is embarassing. This wasn't even a year ago. This was last March, already working for MAC. A crapload of foundation I don't need, (studio tech with a 190 if you can imagine) absolutely HORRID brows and can we blend the crease and bb color into one another maybe? Sketch, ricepaper and most likely stomp or sushi flower.
Even this. Getting better, but can we talk about the super skinny brows, darker top lip, ton of foundation and uneven blush? All Diana ross stuff (I know because of my hair style - it was for our event)
there's sooooooo many more I could post but you get the point.
