Sounds lovely, Meddy

 

[sagehen]

Thanks Med!  I always miss you guys when I'm gone...   Although, I'm never truly gone, just quickly browsing. LOL   What are some of you all's fave eye looks for pink lips? 

I love smoky eyes with pink lips or very neutral (flesh-toned lids, light contour in eye socket) with a THICK, black, winged liquid liner on top so the lips take center stage.

Sounds lovely, Meddy

Thanks much Naomi. I hope you'll join us for a look or few this month---even if you just post lips and/or eyes. Oh and of course I love your pretty pics at any
time!!!!

Oh me too Sage. Smokey eyes w/ MAC's Pink Plaid or Snob lipstick was like a uniform me!!!

Y'all, I am going through a smokey eye and nude lip phase, so I think I will join in the BCAM activity with pink nails and clothes. At least this week. You know I want to wear Pink Pigeon at least once...and Moxie (this qualifies!)... and Nouvelle Vogue, and some others..

Hey ladies! I hope you had a good start to the new week. I'm looking forward to a 3 day weekend so I've been doing the tootsie roll in my head all day. "this ain't the butterfly, it's the tootsie roll!" Anyway, I was really proud of my eyeshadow today! I felt like I deserved to be in this thread with y'all experts. Lol. I didn't pick out this week's makeup so I'm still using last week's makeup: Primer: Elta Md UV clear sunscreen Foundation: Mac MSF deep dark/dark deep Concealer: Nars creamy concealer in café (applied to PIH) Setting powder: Surratt illuminating powder (applied all over face) Eyeshadow: Coastal Scents Revealed 2 palette (shimmery pink shade to lid, matte cranberry shade to outer V and blended into the crease, matte brown blended into crease) Eyeliner: CoverGirl/Loreal gel liner Mascara: I forgot Highlight: Dior Amber Diamond (applied to cheekbones and undereye) Facial mist: Boots No. 7 rose water toner Lipstick: Mac Mystical lipstick I will try to get my mascara on tomorrow. And some blush.

Sage, have you received your lippies yet? I ordered NV and am unsure how it will look on me.

Awesome Sage----and yes, all shades of pink and in the pink family count. I have a different smokey eye that I love. I found it by accident on You Tube. You put a white e/s on the first 2/3 of the lid. Then you put black diagonally from the outer 1/3 of the lid & slightly over the white. Then you blend those like crazy. Next you use a matte dark brown like MAC's Embark in the crease. The same white that you use on the lid goes to highlight the brow. To deepen the crease you smudge just a bit of black---I use Carbon into the outer vee. You finish the look w/white or buff eyeliner to the water line. It sounds awful but I get so many compliment when I wear this look. On occasion I substitute a light pink for the white.

You know gang, we should have a Smokey Eye Week sometime???? We can share smokey eye looks!!!

Meka---butterflies & tootsie rolls

We practically did the same eye look with pink and cranberry/plum! You go Meka!! And I LOVE Amber Diamond.
Have you seen the Dior Holiday Highlighters?

Hello I'm a novice and most times just wear moisturizer and maybe lipstick but for pinks like Chanel's Melodieuse, Enjouee, Fougueuse, Dior's Sunset and YSL's Rose Asarine and Corail Incandescent etc I like just simple black eyeliner (I'm not good with wings n things lol) or YSL's Couture Palette 9. If I'm wearing navy blue I like a lipstick like Guerlain's Shalimar with a (navy/cobalt/midnight) blue and fuchsia eyeshadow look. I'm going to try Dior's 3 couleurs Silver Glow with Givenchy's Rose D'Exception this week for PinkOctober Today (my first BCAM post!) is: Moisturizer Chanel Poudre Universelle Libre loose powder in Dore Chanel Affinite blush Chanel Melodieuse Rouge Allure lipstick

I have received them and I plan to try NV tomorrow. I was going to try it today but I went with KvD Bachelorette. Go figure. I think that it will work. I just need to figure out a liner to go with it. I definitely think it will not look ashy, as I had feared. There is less of a white base in it than I anticipated.

If we are voting, I am voting YES to Smoky Eyes Week! I have a short story to relate...I called myself giving Carbon a chance yesterday because it is in the Brooke Shields palette, which I like very much otherwise. I put on my Fergie WnW primer with shimmer because I wanted some dimension to the smoke. Packed Carbon on the lids and a little higher, blended out with Satin Taupe (also wanted to try this one because ppl say it's different in this palette, and it is, but not in a bad way). By the time I got to work, I had beautiful greyish-taupe smoky eyes. WHY, MAC, WHY can't Carbon either go back to the quality it was when it was the large single shadow with the twist off cap (dating myself, I know) or be substituted with Typographic in the palettes. It sucks now. It makes me sad to see my once-beloved Carbon the butt of jokes. Today I went with a BCAM look! I will get back to the smoky eyes some other time. FACE: Laura Mercier primers, oil free mixed with Radiance Lancôme TIU 24Hr, 470C EL Double Matte Powder, Deep (trying to use this up) NYX HD Concealer, Nutmeg (?) at some point, Iman blush in Peace will be applied EYES: e.l.f primer, sheer WnW e/s, Nutty, on lids MAC e/s, Shag, in crease MAC e/s, Smut in outer v NYX fat black liquid liner pen Sephora Atomic Volume Mascara, explosive black LIPS: KvD Painted Love l/s, Bachelorette, straight outta the tube - love

YES!! Affinite & Melodieuse look so good on you!!!!

Thank you :-D Go, Pink October

Like you Sage, I have cried one too many tears over Carbon. I now rely on black e/s from my other non-MAC palettes. When I've been stuck using Carbon for a traditional smokey eye I've worn it over Blackground PP for a night look and Constructivist PP to tone down Carbon for a day look and the PPs tamed the fall-out from Carbon
I love this look. I wasn't familiar w/Bachelorette so I looked it up---it's stop-traffic GORGEOUS!!!

Okay so we can look forward to a week/7days of Smokey Eye Looks from Nov 1 - Nov 7(Unless you prefer Monday to Sunday), and then we'll resume fall season inspired looks for the remainder of November.

1. I am onboard for Smokey Eyes week. It is in the calendar. 2. I will have to use Carbon over a black base if I want to use it for a dark smokey eye. I thought about grabbing the new black Color Tatto pot or Blackground but I was trying to give it a chance to redeem itself lol. Luckily the look went well with the black and taupe outfit I wore yesterday. Poor little Carbon.

I learned the hard way, early on to use Carbon w/a good base---I had black tears and I wasn't even crying. It was pretty bad.

I have seen the Dior holiday highlighters but I'm staying away. I've set my heart on a couple of items from Guerlain's holiday collection. If I get those two things then I'm going to try to rein it in. Keyword: try. Lol.

You're killing it this week, Sage! Btw, did you get that Becca radiant satin foundation? What's your shade? I'm down for smokey eye week. But y'all might have to explain the smokey eye to me. I'm confused y'all. What's the concept? Is there a good YouTube video that demonstrates it? I've watched video after video, and searched and search the innanets yet I can't see, to grasp the smokey eye.

I have received them and I plan to try NV tomorrow. I was going to try it today but I went with KvD Bachelorette. Go figure. I think that it will work.

You look so pretty, AWS! I think this is the first time that I've seen a pic of you. Your makeup looks really natural. And I love those shoes!
