Holy cow! What a haul!!!!! Enjoy every bit of it Sage. I can't bring myself to go to the event, but I will take part in the VIBR sale---I need skin care items.

Amazing haul, Sage!

Then it is settled.

I did my smokey look based on the Brooke Sheild's palette. Doesnt look much different than what I normally do. So obvisouly I'm missing something.

I have on Physche (green/olive color) on the lid and saddle in the crease. I used a green liner (water Willow) for the bottom.
Laura Mercier high coverage concealer in 5. Too light for the moment.
Nars new powder in Tahoe. This is very powdery.
YSL Fusion Ink b65. It's looking ashy, but last week it looked fine. I'm inbtwn colors again and frustrated by that. LOL
Restrained lipstick.
Desert Rose blush, using this till I get Nars Amour to replace it.

Very nice haul...
I've been looking at Grandma.

I can't wait to hear about those palettes.
LOL @ some blue shade.

I have you checked out the IT brushes at Ulta. I was sick all weekend, but thought about getting some during that sale. Oh well, next time. They are so freakin' soft.


I'm also thinking about getting the Sephora Smokey crease brush.


Does anyone have any experience with Becca concealers. *desperate ashy girl*


I want to try those MUFE looks. I'm going to practice tonite. Was the one you did hard?

Alrighty then---Two Weeks of Smokey Eye Looks everyone. I like that better and feel less pressured. I see you used olive green Pretty.
I have such a thing for olive green eyeshadow. Long ago before I developed my obsession with makeup I can remember wearing it every day. Your look sounds
pretty, Pretty!!!

 

[Medgal07]

Oh. BTW Pretty, after looking at the pics and swatches of Chanel Harmonie and Dior Trafalgar, did you decide if your getting it???

 

[meka72]

@Sage, you weren't playing, huh? Lol. Please let me know how you like the new Stila palettes. I know one of them caught my eye when they first came out, probably the neutral-ish palette. I'm sure that I got distracted by something else and it fell off my radar. @PP, thanks for posting the links to MUFE smokey eye tutorials. Now that I "think" that I know what I'm doing, I'm sure that the smokey eye will be my go to look. So I also vote for 2 weeks for the smokey eye! @Medgal, thanks for posting the link to the lavish palette. I'd intended to repeat yesterday's look but ended up changing things up but still using the lavish palette entirely, today. Speaking of which, this is the smokey eye for today: Lid: Rum Cafe Crease and transition: Sienna Outer v, crease, to line top and bottom lash lines: Black Diamond Browbone: Orange Soda Eyeliner: Nars Via Veneto My base makeup was the same as yesterday per my usual weekly selections. I loved my makeup again today!

 

[sagehen]

Umm, @Prettypackages, why are you talking bad about Desert Rose blush, trying to replace it and all? Yay for two weeks of smoke! I saw the IT brushes at Ulta, and they look and feel like dense but fluffy clouds, but there are so many I couldn't decide where to start. Are you pondering some of them? I know if I buy any I will start with face brushes. All these promises of HD airbrushed-ness and all... I will give some impressions of the palettes when I get to play with them. I can already vouch for In the Moment, because I have a couple other palettes from that range and the pigmentation was nice. A MUA used one of those palettes to make a complete face for me and that is what turned me on to stila. My real worries are the Eyes Are the Window palettes. I have and like Soul, and the other two I bought because they complement it well. But I am hearing complaints of poor pigmentation for those two. I have dupes of one or two colors in each palette, so I will compare my existing colors to the shades in these palettes and decide. I can't wait to wear OCC Grandma. I am on a coral kick. I may need to work on a neutral smokey eye to accommodate this.

That's a very nice palette Meka. It's so nice to hear that you love your makeup looks, and this one sounds VERY nice.

Yeah, I'm tweaking my VIB Sephora list now to see if I can add it. The only color that is really different is that red color. We'll see. LOL
I forgot I wanted the YSL Cuir Fetiche palette, but I think that's only at Nordies now. *need more money*

Thank you again for those swatches.

That red e/s in Trafalgar is VERY pigmented. That surprised me but I do love the palette.

I think the YSL Fétiche palette is my absolute favorite for constructing smokey eyes. I haven't seen it at
Nordics online in a while now, but maybe they're still available in-store.

I'm late to the smoky eye party. I was sick with a stomach bug, so I didn't wear any makeup Sunday or Monday, but I have done a couple of smoky-ish looks in the last couple of days. I'm playing around with my definition of smoky to include some different colours.

Look #1- Metallic/ Gold and Silver

Eyes ::
Armani EtK shadow #4 "Pulp Fiction" on outer two thirds of the lid (on some people, this looks more taupe, but on me, it's a dirty silver/ pewter shade)
Rouge Bunny Rouge "Golden Rhea" inner angles
Le Metier de Beauté "Axiom" (used to blend the silver and gold shades together)
Le Metier de beauté "Genre" (used to darken the outer corners)
Urban Decay e/l "Zero"
Mac Dazzlelight as brow highlight
Guerlain Cils d'Enfer mascara

Cheeks ::
Nars Sin blush

Lips ::
Armani Sheer lipstick #614 "Belladonna"

Look #2- Super soft smoky eye

Eyes ::
Mac Mothbrown on lower lid
Nars Ashes to Ashes on rest of lid, into the crease
Urban Decay Darkside on outer corners, smudged just to give definition
Urban Decay Underground e/l
Guerlain Cils d'Enfer mascara

Cheeks ::
Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder "Radiant Magenta" (contour)
Mac Mineralize Skinfinish "So Ceylon" (outer part of cheek)
Mac Mineralize Skinfinish "By Candlelight" (apples of cheek)

Lipstick ::
Nars Audacious lipstick "Greta"

Who says you can't wear a bold lip with a smoky eye?

Sounds like a pair of lovely looks, Katred! I love a pairing of a bold lip and smokey eye too.
Hope you're feeling better now!

Glad you're doing better Katred. Both looks are lovely...I gasped at look #1 because it sounds so pretty---a response that no one in my immediate household could
possibly understand.

Who says you can't wear a bold lip with a smoky eye?

i love bold lips with smokey eyes. wore just that the past two days. yesterday my lips were fashion revival, and today they started out nylon lip tar, but after i received my order from sephora, they were black metallic dahlia. @sagehen, @meka and @MissTT you ladies were so right about this lip tar! it's smokin!

both of your looks sound pretty. i love the names of the eyeshadows in the first one...they sound so mysterious and sophisticated. how do you like the guerlain mascara?
