pixiwoo have a couple of tutorials for hooded eyes - will go look for them...Now I'll be staring at people trying to ID hooded eyelidsWell for now I'm afraid to google Jennifer Lawrence because her nudies will come up
Wrong hood might
be exposed! I'll have to check some magazines. Thanks for that suggestion Mandy!!!

Yes exactly, that's what it's for.i like the cake liner where you add water best. but at the moment i have pencils and liquid/marker...to be honest i like all the options. they all have their uses! gels can go in the waterline...kohl pencils are easy to smoke out...
this is a really good point. i recall having to be careful to wash my brush immediately after using it so that i could keep it in my makeup bag. but at that time, i wore pretty simple makeup - just liner, one shadow shade and mascara. i had no idea how to use blush, never wore foundation or even powder... anyway, i had more time to devote to the eyeliner back then!
i use a clothes iron. but also still do one at a time. i originally had used the lighter method and prefer the iron since the plastic does not actually melt.
the frying pan technique is intriguing! is that tin foil that you place on the pan to protect the pan?
i know what you mean about the holidays being so far away. feels like there is so much preparation and then it's just a couple of special events and then it's back to normal state of affairs anyway. hmmm...i'm thinking maybe my halloween costume should involve some of that glitter...
i like tribalist. i'm not sure how similar/different the version i have is from the current one. i found for me it makes more sense as a fall/winter lipstick than a summer one, despite the light formula, just due to the colour. but probably for certain skin tones it would be easy to pull off year-round!
ooo sounds nice! blitz and glitz is so pretty!
me too! well, just about.
yay!!! sisterhood....
sometimes it can be handy to have doubles when they are part of a palette...just makes things so easy!! i recently got the 6 red lipstick palette, of which i already had three or four of the shades, but i find it so portable and love being able to mix the shades to get just the right thing...
you have beautiful eyes! do you by any chance recall what eyeshadow that is you are wearing?
i have a similar hood/fold situation where the fold actually goes across my entire eye, not just the outer corner as some people have got. i tend to sometimes take the shadow above the crease (onto the hood) but usually only towards the outer corner. a mac artist once did my makeup where she very significantly took the shadow up in a kind of diagonal from the inner corner, and it resulted in a very doe-eyed smokey look.

Thank you for getting back to me on Tribalist! Will have to check that one out at the counter next week.

My look today was lacking pink, but I loved it nonetheless. 
Face was business as usual, with Chanel Accent blush (forgot how I loved this last year!).
Eyes: I used the Peacocky e/s I depotted at the weekend. I put a purple base over my lid and layered Noir Plum over it. Paparazz-She went in and over the crease, Unflappable in the outer v and lower lashline. I used Orb as a highlight under the browbone. I again used Blitz&Glitz f/l for the winged liner and Miss Maga mascara. TOTAL success!
Apparently I've my MU mojo back, completely, that I lost at the beginning of the year. Experimenting with new colour combos is so FUN again!

It's funny how things change. I recall doing full-face makeup with so few products. Now I've amassed an arsenal of makeup and have convinced myself that I need every bit of it!i like the cake liner where you add water best. but at the moment i have pencils and liquid/marker...to be honest i like all the options. they all have their uses! gels can go in the waterline...kohl pencils are easy to smoke out...

I'm in the process of doing the natural/neutral one: Natural Smokey Eye Look https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PSAweILjnpU
It's super easy and I happen to have the shadows that she uses, but they're easy enough to dupe or just replace w/ your own preferences.
I did this years ago and totally forgot about it.
