Theme Makeup with a Purpose

[Medgal07]

I'd planned on being indoors all day, so I did live up to my 'Different E/S Palette/Day' challenge while still meeting the jungle theme. I used YSL's couture e/s palette inParisienne, # 07 (linked to Images below, the one on the left, second row w/the burgundy center) and opted for a bright pink lip w/Guerlain's Geraldine. Everything else was simple & minimal. I've been usingBecca Shimmering Skin Perfector, Pressed Opal (Soft Gold) that I got from Sephora---pretty amazing if anyone's looking for a really nice highlighter. It comes in other shades as well---I just ordered one in Rose Gold.

Yesterday's palette was Tom Ford's Cocoa Mirage.

this palette is on my wish list. but it's been there for a good 6 months now...hopefully i will never find myself near a tom ford makeup counter with a $100 to spare....

Good to see you Aradhana, but more importantly ​I hope you're feeling better--summer colds are the worst!!!
​If you really like TF's Cocoa Mirage you might want to grab it before they have a price increase. They seem to, eventually.

I hope you feel better soon @aradhana!

​I've continued my personal challenge of wearing a different eyeshadow palette everyday. Yesterday I wore Dior Bar 56 (Grey Taupe, White, Light Pink, Brown-Black & Neutral Taupe)
in a smokey eye look with Dior Rosy Glow blush (petal pink) and Chanel Rouge Coco Shine, Rendez-vous (Pink) 87 lipstick.

Hey ladies! I just wanted to stop in to say "hello." I hope you're all well. Although I haven't been too active on the site, I have been reading along and you look lovely!

Today I tried Nars Tropical Princess es duo, amazing even if it's pastel ( the pigmentation is really very good ). Mascara Le Volume de Chanel ( black ).
Not a jungle theme but here is the duo that I used.

Very pretty makeup, I don't know if Quadrille is the same here, I will check that out. Rosy Glow

, Bar, Rendez-Vous etc.. it sounds so great !

 

[Dominique33]

Yeah, I would definitely not wear it in winter unless I wanted something along those lines for New Years or something due to it being rather metallic.

Agree Naomi but I forgot to mention I use Lust with a Kabuki, it helps ( but the pink metallic shimmer well, nothing to be done I fear )

I love it though, it's exactly the same with the 2 MAC Mineralize blushes I have from a Fantasy of Flowers collection, I also have Supernova but it looks completely different and highly pigmented !

Meka! Hope you're doing well---come back and play with us sometime!!!! Have you been dabbling in any new makeup lately?

Thank you Dominique!!! I think Chanel Les 4 Ombres Quadra Eyeshadow Quadrille (537) came out with the Notes De Printemp Collection????
At any rate I almost skipped it but I'm glad I didn't because the colors, much to my surprise work very well together.

Thank you so much

lime can be found in the jungle ? lol yes maybe !

Oh totally Dominique!!!

Today I used Chanel e/s quad Fascination # 41. The colors are LuminousAqua, Light Gray Medium Gray & Blue Green and they are all prominent in the jungle in my head. I used MAC Pressed Amber blush, Becca Rose Gold pressed illuminating powder and MAC Siss lipstick topped w/YSL Beige Peau #40 glossy stain.

Hey @Medgal07! Last weekend, I bought Chanel Les Beiges liquid foundation and powder in No 60 as well as Chamade blush. I'm probably going to purchase Sonate lipgloss too because I liked the way it looked and I'm not a gloss person. I've been on a powder kick and bought Surratt diaphanous loose powder in éclantant (or something like that), Becca loose powder in nutmeg (a little dark) and something else that I can't remember. Lol. Surprisingly, I wore eyeshadow most days this week. Someone on this thread (Calla maybe) said they used Maybelline color tattoo in bad to the bronze and that reminded me that I had a bunch of the color tattoos that I hadn't used. So I've been using bad to the bronze on my lid with either Mac MSF in deep dark in my crease. I've also discovered that I really prefer using a transition color (Mac Swiss chocolate).

Hey @Meka72

How are you liking the Les Beiges fluid foundation? I'm sure Chamade is gorgeous on
you---that's a great color. If you haven't already, try Chamade under your foundation--It'll look like it's coming
from within---so pretty that way too. You certainly do dabble in some nice brands that I'm just catching onto.
I just dipped my toe into Becca just recently and I'm loving their Illuminating pressed powders. I've only tried
Opal & Rose Gold. I love them both but if I had to pick one it would be Opal.

You have to try one of the new Chanel e/s quads---warning though---they're like Lays Potato Chips---you
can't (eat) buy just one!!!


Why did you have to go and mention Sonate Glossimer

It's so pretty and I don't have it yet. Have you
checked out Songe 191? It's looks scary at first but it's gorgeous on!!!

I think Calla did describe what sounded like an awesome look using Bad to the Bronze. I love Swiss Chocolate.
That's one of a few of the MAC e/s that I've ever used up completely.

Hello ladies! I'm really sorry that I don't post more often! I hope you're all well and happily playing with your makeup!
My looks have been soooooooo incredibly boring lately. It's quite hot and humid over here, and that's one reason I mostly wear only my 'basic face'. I also would'nt have thought that I'd ever say something like this, but lately if I had to choose to either work out early in the morning, work on an awesome project I've recently started to work for or do an elaborate look in the morning? The first two options always won. That doens't mean that I don't love my MU any longer - I'm still rotating through my cream e/s, trying to incorporate different blushes and lip colours, but looks aren't very exciting to write about!
The only thing I'm over the moon with is Mac's new CC cream in Adjust. I used a whole can Shu Uemura Underbase Mousse until now, but because Shu is so hard to get over here I switched to MAC. (And there were good reviews for Adjust.) I wore it with my Mineralize Loose today and I'm completly in LOVE! Looks and feels great. Sure, I'm starting to get a bit shiny and sweaty in the afternoon, but well, it's about 95F and there's a thunderestorm coming, so that's ok!

Anneria! I think many of us are experiencing that same makeup lull DT the heat and humidity. I've pretty much been doing the same basic face
​ and just changing my E/S palette for my personal challenge. I was reaching for the same one everyday so this is my self-imposed discipline.
That's great news about MAC's CC cream! I'll have to check them out some time! I hope the storm cools things off a bit!!!!

I've continued on my path of a different e/s palette everyday. On Sunday I wore Chanel Camelia, one the newly released quads, Chanel Raffinement,an oldie but goodie yesterday, and today for yet another neutral eye look I'm wearing MAC Bare My Soul palette. Just two more days to go!!!

 

[Anneri]

Oooooh, I've to wear both Bare my Soul and Temp. Rising again! Two of my fave quads.

Do we have a theme for August already? Any ideas? Summer, vacation, something like that?

Hi there Anneri!! It's so fun pulling out the oldies but goodies isn't it!!!

We do not have a theme for August and your's is the first suggestion! So for summer/vacation are we looking at a particular group of colors or run the gamut with a full
color palette, encompassing brights & lights or just whatever about summer that inspires us?????
