I don't have many bright reds, just RRW and Ronnie Red so I decided to improvise this morning! I used Heaux over RRW liner, BGGG blush and Refresh msf as highlight. :)

Naomi you look so incredibly pretty in the red lip look that you concocted! I hope that you seeing how great you look in red inspires you to get more red lippies. Just gorgeous!

Thank you kindly, Meddy! I've seriously slacked in the red department that's for sure. I only have RRW, Ronnie Red, Heaux, Studded Kiss, Viva Glam 1 and VGRiRi (which I guess would be a bright). Maybe I'll wear VGRiRi tomorrow since it's brighter. I'm definitely putting Vampire's Kiss on my wish list since it looked so gorgeous on you!

Thank you Med! I grew my hair out before the wedding, and now it's long and I don't manage to get my ass to a hairdresser because I don't know what I want to do with it - so it stays long and mostly in ponytails, buns etc. ... though I can relate with you on that forehead thing! This was the best pic I took though it's a bit dark, but in the other ones it looked HUGE!

Maybe I should go with a fringe...


GORGEOUS!!!!!

Yellow is always difficult imo. Most yellows look straight up gold on me, or they lean chartreuse. Did you get Goldenrod? Also, do you have Yves Rocher in the US? Dominique always raves about them. They did some kind of buttercup yellow shadestick thingie in their summer LE. I was too chicken to try it...

I too have so many reds - I think it's because I was looking for the right one for so long and just bought ones that were nearly there. My fave now is Deeply Adored. It's so funny, when I started with MAC every MUA wanted me to try the reds, but I didn't want to because I was so self-conscious whenever I wore something bright on my lips. My lips are pretty full, and I didn't want to draw attention to it. Funny huh? How times change!


Like it! Never tried Yves Rocher lippies. Do they have a scent? Which formula would you recommend?



AAAAAHHHHH! Heaux is so pretty on you!!!!

I did kind of a full face today.

Face: Shu Uemura base, MAC Mineralize Loose Powder, Bourjois concealer. Used Forever Marilyn to highlight and SMHM as blush.
Eyes: Pale Barley with Nars Malacca in the outer v, smoked out. I got Malacca as a present from a very dear friend who send me some British magazines (that always have awesome goodies included, this one had a Ren cleanser with an additional wash cloth) and the e/s as some kind of pick-me-up because I haven't been quite well lately. So amazing, because Nars isn't available in Germany and I wanted it since it came out. Such a thoughtful gesture - I nearly cried when I opened the package!
I topped it with lots of smudgy black liner and mascara.
Lips: Mac Gesina.
I wanted to wear Viva Glam Riri at first and then I noticed that I was wearing a pink shirt, so I had to alter that plan and go with something that pulls pinky-red on me. I used Boldly Bare liner with a lot of my bright lippies lately and must say that I like it a lot. It just defines the lips without altering the lipstick colour.
The look sounds just beautiful Anneri. I'm sure Gesina looks gorgeous on you. I hope you're feeling better soon!!!!

Today I wore a neutral eye look using Chanel's Illusion D' Ombre cream eyeshadow & Tom Ford's Cognac Sable palette.
I used YSL's Baby Doll Kiss & Blush in Rouge Libertine 06. I used it as my blush, under my foundation and on my lips.
It's a beautiful red with a satiny matte finish. I used Dior's Diorskin Golden Shimmer Powder from the Transat collection,
both of which are pictured below. The lipstick wears like a matte but feels like a satin. It is not at all sticky and lasted 5
hours (dinner interruptus). The Golden Shimmer powder is an amazing highlighter---just beautiful to look at & to wear.

I have the orange one, but I want this red.. They were so nicely.. I could almost have them all... I also want that dior nude in the back.
So tell me, is pure barley a must? do you think there is a dupe out there?

Nothing for me today, was updating my resume all day...

Meddy, that Golden Shimmer powder by Dior is stunning, and the lip color works well with it, which Chanel Illusion did you use for that lovely look?

Dominique loving your lipsticks as usual but the those Kiko cream blushes have me interested! I love Kiko have a few items from that line but didn't know about the cream blushes!Thanks for the heads up. That Burberry looks like a true red on you and you wear it well! You're very good at your passion!
