Theme Makeup with a Purpose

[Medgal07]

Today I'm wearing for the very first time, Tom Ford's Velvet Cherry. I didn't realize it was such a dark red but I LOVE it.
I again went with a neutral eye using Chanel's Prelude Quad.

[COLOR=A52A2A]  It's still very pretty!!  Do you prefer more orange in your reds?  I tend to lean that way too.  The Guerlain Rose Grenat that I wore yesterday was more of a pinkish red too[/COLOR]

I have grown to love all reds but I do prefer orange-reds and scarlets. I realized over time how flattering reds can be and NARS Audacious gave me plenty options lol

I used to run from orange reds, preferring pink-red, brown-reds. I think Rita is my first red/orange I've bought in a long time.

Wow...that's gorgeous! It's actually a perfect color for your complexion----stunning match actually. Do you like how it looks on you?

Hey ladies! I hope everyone is well and, for those who celebrate Thanksgiving, I hope you had a wonderful holiday. I need to catch up on the thread but I wore Nars Red Lizard today and a YSL Rouge Volupté in a red (can't remember the name) yesterday. I was off theme on Monday and Tuesday, I think.

This sounds so lovely! Do you find t hat RP pulls warmer or cooler on you? Most people seem to find it looks warmer, as I did when I swatched it, but on my lips it's definitely cooler.

Went for a softer lip today and made myself promise that I wasn't going to go for a yellow or gold-toned eye, since I realised I'd done one three days in a row.

Face:
UD Naked SKin 1.0
Dior Star concealer 010
Benefit High Beam (dabbed under my eyes as a highlighter- the only way that I can wear it)
Mac Prep & Prime finishing powder
Chanel Creme Blush "Chamade" (bright spicy rose red) applied on apples of cheeks
Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder "Mood Light" (warm mauve) swept all over cheeks
Mac Beauty Powder "Honey Light" (warm golden yellow-brown) used as a contour/ bronzer
Chanel Poudre Signé (bright white gold) Tapped along the cheekbones as a highlight

Eyes:
Guerlain Les Fumes shadow palette
- Soft pink brown on inner angles
- Grey-taupe over eyelids and into crease
- Dark taupe on outer lid and corner
- Shimmery pewter along lower lashlines and tapped just at the centre of the upper lids
Inglot shadow M351 (matte creamy ivory) along browbone
UD Desperation e/l on upper lash line and water line
MUFE mascara

Lips:
MUFE concealer pencil "light" (used to outline the lips, because this l/s bleeds terribly on me)
Mac "Viva Glam Cyndi" l/s (soft coral red)

This seems like a lot of work based on the number of products used, but it really wasn't. the Guerlain shadows are very easy to apply and blend. It took a bit more effort to get the cheek mix right, but since there's not any precision blending, it went pretty quickly.

It was hard just getting two when they're all fab! But it would have been overkill lol

On me RP pulls tad warm maybe leaning neutral even!! I had hoped it would be a tad bit more cooler toned on me but I dont see it!! She is gorgeous nevertheless!!!

I read it and thought it sounded like Thursday morning

It's a full look ....never a lot of work, especially if it's your routine---you just grab for them in the order in which you prefer to apply them. I hate breaking my MU routine! The look sounds lovely and Les Fumes is GORGEOUS. I only have one Guerlain e/s palette, Les Fauves but I think Meddy needs more!!!
