Theme Makeup with a Purpose

[Shars]

I hope you ladies have a good week!

I had to go back to my EL Double Wear today. I don't have the patience for the constant blotting at the moment.

I hope you ladies have a good week!

Way to go Meka!!! How did Ritual work out for you? I'm stealing your look w/TF Golden Peach because I have
yet to use it!!!! I hope you have a good & makeup filled week!!!

Hey ladies! I promised myself that I would post the makeup that I intend to wear this week. I need to apply a matte primer more liberally because I was shining like new money, today. Eye primer: Nars eye primer Eyeshadow: TF Golden Peach (lid); Mac Brown Script (crease and blended slightly upward) Eyeliner: Stila Stay All Day in black (upper lid) Concealer: Nars creamy concealer in Ginger and Carmel (mixed together and applied under-eye) Powder: Becca Loose Finishing Powder in Nutmeg (too dark but looks okay with a light application) Bronzer: LM Ritual Bronzer Highlighter: Mac Freshen Up powder Blush: Mac Hipness Lipstick: Givenchy Le Rouge in 205 As usual, no time for mascara and it would have really finished my look. Welp! I'm wearing coral nail polish on my toes (China Glaze Surfin with Boys) and just applied Sinful Colors Energetic Red (which is coral despite the name) to my fingernails. I hope you ladies have a good week!

I love Energetic Red! I only managed to wear WnW What's Up, Doc on my lips today. It is a pinky coral shade. I plan to wear coral blush tomorrow, since I am hankering for a nude lip. I want to wear KvD L'Ecoles de Femme (sp?) this week as well as one of the Sephora liquid shades I have yet to wear that is coral.

Today's FOTD: FACE: ELDW, 6W1 Rich Ginger (old formula) + 1 drop of 6N1 Truffle (new formula) - I got baked over the weekend and needed it a bit darker EL Double Matte powder, Deep LA Girl HD concealer, Chestnut on hyperpigmentation, Fawn under eyes City Colors contour palette, contour shade only Milani flower blush, coral shade form 2014 EYES: WnW Fergie primer Morphe Brush eye palette, 35T (Taupe/neutral shades - all of them are actually dark / pigmented enough for me to use!) NYX Slide on eye pencil, Jet Black, upper lash line, Rimmel ScandalEyes kohl pencil, Turquoise, on lower lash line NYX lash primer (Big Loud?) Rimmel London Glam'Eyes mascara, Extreme Black LIPS: NYX Prune Liner WnW MegaLast l/s, Sandstone this combo picks up the coral in my cheeks but is not so over the top to be a bold lip on its own, and it's not-quite-nude

Still playing with my new sephora goodies - so everything turned out a bit different than I planned! I used Earthly MES on my eyes and planned to use the yellow Sephora waterproof liner on the lower lashline, but my skin tone clashes with it - have to experiment further. Also used Clinique Peach Pop and Cut a Caper to stay on theme.

Looking forward to hearing more about the yellow liner once you've had a chance to experiment further.

I stayed on theme with Tom Ford Golden Peach e/s duo and Guerlain Peach Boy blush duo.

I did some banking today and got nice compliments from the tellers
on my makeup. I'm always surprised when that happens because everybody has on makeup-----like it's not an anomaly.

@Shars, I've been producing oil like crazy lately. I have oil pulling in the corners of my nose. It ain't cute looking like an oil slick (with red lipstick on). I'm sure it is because I'm dehydrated. @Medgal, I think I like LM Ritual bronzer. Despite swirling it on my face like I know what I'm doing, I actually don't know what I'm doing. Lol. It looks nice with the Mac Freshen Up and Hipness blush though. @Sagehen, I am not a fan of coral shades on me and was surprised at how much I liked Energetic Red. Do you use WnW nail polishes, the $1.99 polishes? Those are the BEST polishes for me. Those polishes last me at least 5 days with no chipping and slight tip wear. I havent used the $.99 polishes though.

 

[meka72]

Yeah but not everybody applies their makeup in a complimentary way. How did you like Golden Peach?

I know we aren't the same skintone but I've been wanting Peach Pop for awhile. How do you like it? There are several sites that will send you a list of free or deeply discounted e-books available on or across the different e-reader platforms. BookBub emails you daily lists and that's how Ive gone from one kindle book (about the big "O") to about 30 titles.

I loved it! I'm wearing it again tomorrow!!!! I paired it w/ one of my TF quads---Golden Mink and it was really nice.

Oh that's great Meka. The more you do it I think the more confident you'll feel about it.

You're probably right Meddy. I might start getting up early (and getting up out of bed instead of laying there) so I can take my time with makeup application. I'm usually running late and have no idea what it looks like (or my wardrobe) when I get to work.

I get it though Meka---the struggle is real!!!

So have I and now I'm having a mini break out crisis on the right side of my jaw line. Nothing too serious but it's annoying. I think I'm dehydrated as well.

I'm sitting here drinking my last 20oz bottle of water for the night---it's part of my bedtime ritual. Here's what I've noticed within the last month or so----when I exfoliate
on and around my nose, oil production in that area increases---that's the only time it happens, When I avoid that area oil production is much less. Hot weather is the
typical culprit in the production of sebum/skin oil.

I really need to drink more water. Problem is, I hate water other than cold water but I know it's not good for your body *sigh* I need to monitor re exfoliating too. And you know I have hot weather year round so I'm always trying to find the perfect foundation * double sigh*

Maybe you can flavor your water w/citrus. I hate it too but I get sick when I allow myself to get dehydrated so I treat it as though it were medicinal and I can't skip a dose!!!!

Okay so since we'r nearing the end of the week, we need to decide on a color for next week, starting on Monday. Do you want PINK or GREEN???? Can we have a show of hands? Just kidding. Please pick one. If neither appeal to you at this time, please offer an alternative that we can all vote on.

Hmmmm. Pink would be lips or blush. Green would just be eyes - well for work, that is. Not sure our firm is ready for my green lipstick

. I'll vote pink - it's probably more versatile for now.
