Theme Makeup with a Purpose

[Shars]

I decided to join everyone in the different lipstick everyday challenge! I wasn't much of a lipstick person until early last year so I only have 27 lip products that get rotated pretty regularly (I also try my best to avoid buying dupes)... but now I think it will be fun wear a different shade every day for that time period!

So I have 18 lipsticks, 5 liquid lipsticks and 4 glosses.

Today I wore MAC's Red Balloon (sooo fun)!!!

We're also doing purple eyeshadow looks this week so feel free to join in on that as well

That's awesome 'cos I'm really trying hard to finish my Dior Stylish Move quint! I strongly dislike it and I cannot wait to finish it and replace it with better purples!!!

hello all...
for purple eye inspiration i thought you might appreciate this video i came across:

it's purple and green actually - not sure i would have considered mixing the two this way, but it looks nice. i might try it later this week...i don't have the UD palette featured, but maybe the purply shade and the green shade from the marc jacobs vamp palette would be good alternates? or i was thinking MAC oomph and plum dressing, but i'm saying that without having them in front of me...

I haven't taken the time to watch it yet, but I'm eager to see what she does, especially since her eye colour looks close to mine. It's strange, because they look blue-grey from a distance, but there's a surprising amount of yellow in them as well, which I see in hers.

I actually like purple and green together quite a lot. It's unexpected but they can work together.

Today I did a look that seemed like a good idea and once I got it applied, I realised that it was extremely similar to the look I wore NYE- golden/ purple eye, warm cheeks, purplish lipstick. The colours were slightly different, but I guess it's evidence that I do gravitate towards certain looks. Here's what I did:

Eyes:
Mac Paint Pot Painterly
Armani Eye Tint Rose Ashes (all over lid)
Le Metier de Beauté Crucible (outer corners and crease), Axiom (blended around the edges of Crucible)
Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder Luminous Light (brow bone highlight)
Urban Decay e/l Rockstar (upper lash lines)
Benefit They're Real mascara

Cheeks:
Mac blush My Paradise (you could substitute Nars Gina, I think)
Hourglass Luminous light

Lips:

Mac Style Curve (could substitute Nars Sylvia)

Crucible was my purple shadow, although I feel like it's cheating to call it a real purple. It's a warmish mulberry colour. Has some purple in it, so I'm saying it counts.

I just love how the lipstick challenge is making me go back and evaluate shades I haven't tried for a while, because I'm saving some of my favourites.

Welcome aboard! Considering that you only really joined Team Lipstick last year, that's a very healthy collection!

Anything in, near or around the purple family totally counts........PURPLE IS IN THE EYE OF THE BEHOLDER!!!!!

@Aradhana, thanks for suggesting Galapagos with Ashes to Ashes. I'll try that combo soon! ETA: @Meddy, I always forget to try your tip of putting cream blush under foundation. I'm usually running late and operate on auto pilot and never remember to try new things. @Sage, I'll have my mother go to Rite Aid to pick up Black Walnut for me. Is it hard to blend?

Not hard to blend at all. no buy over! La Femme lip stains on CRC! Basket filling up!

 

[aradhana]

my purple eyes:
feminine edge fluid line as base all over upper lid
keepsakes/plum - taupeless (icy pink with silver sparkle, lustre) above crease, over brow bone, almost up to brows
keepsakes/plum - fashion beat (dirty violet grey, vxp )on upper lid and to lower lashline
keepsakes/plum - magic moor (rich blackened plum w pearl, vxp) to outer v
keepsakes/plum - plum grand (dirty frosty lavender, vxp) to blend magic moor into lid
ud rockstar 24/7 liner in a dramatic cat eye to upper lash line, and to lower lashline

coral cheeks: tarte 'tipsy' amazonian clay blush

coral lips: out for fun (cool coral) casual colour

i'm thinking i'm going to try the pixiwoo look tomorrow. has anyone tried it yet? would be interested to know how it turned out!

I just gave this palette to my aunt... this look makes me wish I hadn't.

I looked those up, did you get any?

 

[sagehen]

Mmm hmmm...I sort of wish I had gotten Fucshia (sp? - I can never spell that word) Fusion as well, but for now I got Vamp Purple, Pandora Violet, Midnight Purple, Vital Red, Blood, X-Red, Tomato and Paper Moon I think.

I hope everyone had a good day! I wanted to post really quickly before I rolled over to go to sleep. I really liked my makeup today especially my eye makeup. It was super simple but looked very put together: Laura Mercier plum caviar stick on the lid and Mac Swiss chocolate to the crease; CoverGirl/Loreal gel liner to line upper lids; and MUFE smokey eye mascara (I remembered!!). My lipstick of the day was Revlon matte lip balm in Shameless. This is the rest of my makeup, which I will repeat throughout the week: Primer: Korrea anti-aging primer Foundation: Nars Sheer Glow in New Orleans Concealer: Nars creamy concealer in Amande (under eye) and Cafe (blemishes) Highlighter: Estée Lauder Gelee highlighter in Shimmering Sands Blush: Chanel Angelique Powder: Ben Nye powder in Topaz (to set under eye); Koh Gen Do finishing powder (to set remainder) Have a good night!

Oh wow Mango. What is it that you dislike about the Stylish Move palette?

It's just sooo dry! I have to pack a shadow on and on just to get decent pigmentation, but at least the highlight shade works and I really like the lightest purple shade...oh, and the pink swatches white which is pretty ridiculous

.

Today is day two of my lipstick/lip product challenge because yesterday I didn't leave the house and wore no makeup. I'm wearing MAC's Goddess of the Sea!!!

 

[sagehen]

OK, a quick catch-up: January 16 I wore MAC Gunner January 19, I wore Maybelline Ruby Star Yesterday I wore MAC No Faux Pas Today, MAC 5N (losing its vanilla scent, maybe time for B2M pile?) same face combo as last time I posted, I think (Stila Natural Finish fdn, EL Double Matte, etc, City Colors contour powder only, BR Toasted Almond blush) EYES: WnW Fergie Primer, shimmer WnW Comfort Zone palette, dark goldy-green on lid, lighter green in crease, left side, 3rd shade down for transition, top right shade under brow) MAC Feline, heavily applied Rimmel London brow pencil, Dark Brown, Rimmel GlamEyes mascara, 003Extreme Black

Dior certainly has its hits and misses with eyeshadow. I purchased the Dior quint, Bar especially for the soft pink e/s and like your pink, it's actually white----very
disappointing, but the e/s performed well.

No Faux Pas is pretty Sage. And yes, 5N belongs in the B2M pile.

Hmmm, so I think with the new lipstick challenge, we should be able to repeat a lipstick if our look didn't work out as planned. LOL Yeah, today didn't quite work out. LOL

I didn't like my look for Gunner either.

As long as you're not messing up your look on purpose so you can wear your lippie again.

What didn't you like ??????

 

[Prettypackages]

Ooh. You must let us know how they worked out for you when you get a chance!

Oooh I like. I think we might be the same shade. I have the same concealers and also use Topaz to set my undereye. How do you like the NARS Sheer Glow? I've been experimenting with new foundations recently and may try one or two of the NARS ones at some point.

As long as you're not messing up your look on purpose so you can wear your lippie again.

Me? Never! hehehehehe.. yesterday 's look was nice but I forgot my mascara and I didn't put the lipstick on until 3. I think that deserves a do over too!

Today's might be better than I thought. I'm lazy, so i'll post my looks tonite.
