The "Shop Your Stash" Challenge!

[Fiberluver]

Today:

An eye look I lifted from Lauren Clark:

Eyes:

Soft Ochre p/p
Goldmine e/s: inner corner, tearduct
Trax: middle lid, under eye
Vibrant Grape: outer eye, v, crease
Fig. 1: darken crease
Saddle: transition
concealer: highlighter
Feline: line upper lid, waterline
black mascara

Cheeks:

So Ceylon msf: bronzer, cheeks
Bobbi Brown Plum shimmer brick: cheeks, hgihlight
Gold Deposit msf: highlight

Lips:

Plum l/p with a touch of Chestnut l/l in the bow of the lip
Fluid l/s
Instant Gold l/g

Trax e/s does not show up very well on me. I decided against purchasing it again. All of the other shadows are gorgeous together!

* (Later today: Well I changed my mind about Trax - it does show up and quite beautifully too! I think I will purchase it again when I run out of the one I am using. I got a better look at my shadow today in different light and wow - is this a gorgeous look or what!)

Thanks Lauren!

^I may have to steal that one tomorrow...

Decided to go with a kind of Spring-like look today, although there's a dusting of snow on the ground. It's actually quite pleasant, so I can pretend that the warmer weather is right around the corner...

Eyes

Juxt- over lid
Bio Green- on centre of lid, on top of Juxt
Manila Paper- highlight and on inner corner (could substitute Nylon)
Lucky Green- outer part of lid and centre of lower lash line
Mink & Sable- outer corner (could substitute Sumptuous Olive)
Desires & Devices superslick liner
False Lashes Mascara (I'm in love)

Face
Yves Rocher Perfect Primer- cheeks, nose and forehead
Prolongwear foundation NC15- all over and buffed out to leave coverage pretty light
Prolongwear concealer in NW20- under eyes (I took one shade darker, because I find the concealer runs pretty light in PLW)
Prep & Prime Finishing Powder- light dusting all over, skipping plempest part of cheeks
^ That's basically my everyday face at the moment, figured I'd include it in the description, since I usually leave this off

Kat,

Yeaa for the greens!

I have on greens today and I love it!

Fiesty,

Do you like those NYX Jumbo sticks?

Are they smooth?

Anyway - today's look:

Eyes:

Mosscape p/p
Sweet/Punchy e/s: lid, tear duct, under inner eye
Humid e/s: outer v, under eye
Saddle e/s: crease
Juiced e/s: crease, to blend
Feline: waterline
black mascara

Cheeks:

Shimpagne msf: highlight
Harmony blush: cheeks
Peachtwist: cheeks- to darken
Blunt blush: contour

Lips:

Chestnut l/l: darken bow
Cork l/l: line
Beaux l/g

I'm trying to find shadows that really emphasize Humid and I think S&P is a good one. But I need more ideas!

 

[FiestyFemme]

I really like Milk! I have a couple more, but they seem to be a lot creamier. Milk is the only one that doesn't crease on me. I wish I could get the others to work! I don't know what I'm doing wrong with them.

Fiesty,

While I'm waiting for my new Nicki Minaj to see if I made a mistake by ordering or not, I figured I'd try out the other pink that so many seem to find difficult to get exactly right...

Eyes

Painterly p/p as base
Cloudbound as highlight and in inner corner (top and bottom)
Up at Dawn on lid
Violet Trance on outer lid and along upper crease and along water line
Pandamonium along outside edge of Violet Trance, blended
Smoky Heir e/l
Opulash mascara

Cheeks

Dame blush

Lips

Viva Glam Gaga

VGG isn't nearly so difficult as I remembered. It suits my complexion pretty well, actually. My one issue is that it does tend to pull into my lip lines (which is odd for a lustre). For the eye, I was hoping to get a sharper, more defined arc from Violet Trance (all four colours are from the Pandamonium quad released with Balloonacy)- I wanted almost a cut-crease look. Instead I got something smudgy, which blended nicely enough, but it wasn't what I was looking for. Guess I need to read up on what kind of brushes I should be using...

A couple of new-ish things in there, but also a chance to go back to a couple of classics, especially on the eyes- White Wheat and Velour were both in the Inventive Eyes quad. I loved that collection.

 

[Fiberluver]

Fiesty,

Do you use a primer before you put on the Milk or other NYX pencils?

A primer like UDPP or TFSI may help.

I always use UDPP or TFSI, so I don't know what the deal is. Milk is perfect, but the others just will not cooperate!

Fiesty,

Do you use a primer before you put on the Milk or other NYX pencils?

A primer like UDPP or TFSI may help.
