Theme Makeup with a Purpose

Hola tout le monde! I just posted this in the Guerlain thread but wanted to post it here as well. Do you have any brush recommendations for the terracota bronzer? I haven't worn it yet and wanted to bust that baby out ASAP!

[@]Medgal07[/@], Impressive! I was going to buy Dior Trafalger lipstick earlier this week during the Nordstrom beauty sale. Le sigh. I'm going to buy Joli Teint this weekend.

All I do is use a fluffy brush for all over bronzing and a smaller, angled brush for contouring. No particular brand (I really like the angled, but rounded, head on a Coastal Scents brush I got in a set for this purpose).

I'm thinking about getting this brush: http://www.sephora.com/pro-flawless-bronzer-brush-46-P377528?skuId=1479260

I have this - it is nice for all over application.

 

[meka72]

Thanks Sage! I'll order that brush then because I want to use it for all over application.

MG, glad to see you doing well...

Love that haul...

Sage, I was searching through some old threads and saw a post by you in retromattes saying you hadn't worn Hot chocolate yet.... have you tried this yet???? LOL

Thank you Pretty!

 

[Medgal07]

Writing this has made me think this should be a purse lipstick, carried around for any emergency lip-fixing time.

Sage, HC is one of the few lippies that I've ever backed up!!! Glad you're loving it!

I'm a sucker for cute brushes so I purchased the Guerlain Terracotta bronzer brush. It's ok but certainly not a must-have. In fact, I actually prefer
angled brushes for bronzing and usually reach of my Chanel Pinceau Poudre Biseauté Angled Powder Brush #2. It's angled enough for contouring,
​ yet large enough and dense enough for all-over application.

Oh that's a very nice brush Meka!

 

[meka72]

[@]Medgal07[/@], I will check out the Chanel brush that you recommended. In the meantime, I ordered the sephora brush. Are you taking care of yourself? Has your family put you on punishment because you're doing too much? I bet they have.

@Medgal07, Impressive! I was going to buy Dior Trafalger lipstick earlier this week during the Nordstrom beauty sale. Le sigh. I'm going to buy Joli Teint this weekend.

I haven't yet worn Trafalger but I'm eager to---I have the Dior Trafalger NP too. I wanted to try the Guerlain Rouge G series lipsticks and got a little carried away.
Have you tried them yet?

That Sephora brush looks like it will get the job done. I think you'll like the Chanel brush too. It's kinda luxurious.

Meka you're correct! I'm trying to behave but I hate being stationary. Hubs is great with putting the ice contraption
on my shoulder, changing the dressings & keeping me in the immobilizer. I had a tiny setback in the form of an SLE
flareup & had to go on loading doses of steroids. Well they make me very hyper and give me insomnia---hence I'm still up and
everyone in the house, including the dog is asleep. We're titrating the meds so this will be over soon. I get the sutures out
next week and will hopefully start PT within a couple of weeks.

i use a mac 167 or 168 depending how i'm wearing it...but that sephora brush you posted looks good too.

 

[meka72]

Aradhana, thanks for the recommendation. I'll check out those brushes if the sephora brush doesn't work out.
