Theme Makeup with a Purpose

[aradhana]

@aradhana  i'm replying here to you because I can't in the other thread. unsure of what happened as i've been away all day so i'll just reply here... i don't have KYY yet. I do get it tomorrow and as long as I like it i will wear it for sure. if it looks too bright i won't even bother and i'll save it for someone who couldn't get one. Do we wear bright pinks all month or all week? I don't have many bright pinks but i'll wear the brightest i have!! is this in honor of someone or just for fun? sorry but i haven't kept up with any threads really and i'm way too behind to figure out where to look lol yay! today i wore Bite Beauty Bouquet. it's a bright pink to me!! lol

I think you can decide how long you want to wear bright pinks or any other color...the theme is just generally brights, so it can even apply to blush or eye shadow. We split it into weeks as described by mefgal earlier in the thread but I know for myself I have an excess of pinks and a death of oranges, so I will adjust accordingly. And of course if you just wanted to make it kyy month, more power to you! I'll try to repost medgal's weekly breakdown when I get home if no one beats me to it, but it's just a guideline in any case. Oh, and not in honor of anything as far as I know... Except bright fun makeup. Ladies please feel free to jump in and correct me if that's an inaccurate interpretation!

what is the givenchy prism?

 

[Dominique33]

It is a loose powder ( setting and illuminating ) the pan contains 4 différent shades, Voile Rosé is very soft and light. The powder is just lovely, very finely milled. Swatching it would not be that useful as it is very subtle and pale. There is another one, more in the pink tones but I cannot remember the name. It is différent from the Poudre Première ( White, translucent ).

Okay, so I have worn muted lipsticks everyday so far this month. I don't even know why I'm on a muted lipstick kick. I'm a brights girl! Gonna try to get into the swing of things and get my brights on!

I'm struggling to post today's look, and I just can't bring myself to do it right now We received news that a woman we employed as a live-in
caregiver for my mother-in-law died May 14. We ADORE this woman and kept in touch with her over the years, even after my MIL's death.
We had just talked with her May 12. She was not ill at that time. We laughed and chatted as we always have. Her son contacted us Monday
evening to inform us of her death. It was so sudden & unexpected that they hadn't contacted everyone. Her birthday was May 31 so we had
commissioned an artist to make a really special birthday card for her. When her son read the card he says, "it tore him to pieces because it
was so loving." My husband had written the message in the card and it really was lovely. You know how you meet someone really special and
they impact your life in ways you could never imagine----well that was this woman. She took such good care of my MIL and became a
member of our family in the process.

It was that card that made her son remember to contact us. We had been trying to reach her for a few days. Her family held her memorial service
on her birthday. Needless to say we're in shock and trying to regroup from this. Thanks for listening! I'll post two looks tomorrow.

I'm so sorry to hear this hon! It was so nice to hear that she had such a wonderful impact on your family's life! It must have been a welcomed consolation for her to son to see that. It's nice to know that although she didn't get to see it, the people left behind to miss her know they are not alone. You are such a sweet person!

Ok... it's been a lot of baseball games with my son, so bright lippies didn't suit the last few days..
But TODAY I wore:

MAC Embrace Me Lipstick with its Lip Pencil
Some neutral UD Shadows: Sin, Virgin, Naked, and Secret Service
Hourglass Ambient Blush in Diffused Heat VERY lightly on the cheeks
Everything set with Hourglass Powder Dim

hi ladies i will check in tomorrow...i read everybody's posts but i want to take my time responding...just too exhausted to do it right now!

 

[aradhana]

Does everyone want to do a week of a bright color? I decided to do that just to keep some order to my efforts but we can structure it if you like. I included
examples---some fit more than one category, so you decide and use any brand that you like. Note, you can execute this is any order that you wish or we can all do it
together. I listed almost all MAC because that seems to be our universal language, but as examples only.

June 1 - 7 Bright Pinks (i.e., MAC CYY, Embrace Me, Impassioned, Silly, Pink Pigeon, Quick Sizzle, Show Orchid, VGN / NARS Full Frontal, Schiap)

June 8 - 14 Bright Corals (i.e., MAC Reel Sexy, Razzledazzler, Ablaze, Lady Danger, Vegas Volt, Ravishing, Party Parrot, Force of Love, Toxic Tale, Flamingo)

June 15 - 21 Bright Reds (i.e., MAC Absolute Power, Charmed I'm Sure, Deeply Adored, Just A Bite, MAC Redd, RiRi Woo, Ronnie Red, VGG I,)

June 22 - 28 Bright Oranges (i.e., MAC WTC, SLN, Goes & Goes, Fashion Nomad, Sail La Vie, Eden Rouge, Morange, Neon Orange, T & T, Deeply Adored)

June 29 - 30 Bright Purples* ( i.e., MAC Heroine, Feel My Pulse, Dish It Up, Flat Out Fabulous, Goes & Goes, Outrageously Fun)

* I thought 2 days of purple would be enough since we just did purple this month

I love Lisa Eldrige's videos. I adopted her technique for applying red lipstick through one of her vids. I love a neutral eye w/a bright lip but I also like the tonal look w/a corresponding lip and cheek color.

@Starlight77 i know we said you can just freestyle brights any way you like, but in case you need some structure here is medal's post for easy reference! my week of pinks is going to be more like two weeks. and my week of oranges will be like three days!

I could wear bright pinks for the month Aradhana but I won't. After a week I'll be ready for some orange love.

I wanted to post a pic with today's look but got home late so had poor lighting and our wireless connection was down. I hate posting from my iPAD----I can never upload pics from it.

Any hoo---my basics were pretty much the same except I wore Chanel Perfection Lumiére Velvet foundation.
I decided to wear the mono look, and this was it:

Eyes: MAC Passionate to lid and just above the crease
MAC Cork to soften transition
EL Crystal Baby Gelee to highlight brow
Blacktrack to upper lashline

Face: EL Crystal Baby to facial highpoints ( this powder is lovely and lasted > ten hours)
Chanel Joues Contraste Powder Blush, Pink Explosion 64 (Blue-pink)


Lips: Dior Rouge Dior, Deauville # 671 lipstick
Chanel Aqualumiere Gloss Baie Rose 89
