I completely abandoned purple week last week. I wore it once, but it was such a busy weekend, I ended up wearing the same look twice. (peaches/bronze) HOw boring is that? LOL


Happy Birthday Meddy!! <3 I hope you had a fabulous day!

AWS, I love the look you did with Shadow. I can never get silver/ grey tones to look good on me.

I've been loyal to red week, but I'm disappointed in myself, because it's been solely red lipsticks. I wanted to try to incorporate some red shadows, or at least blushes. Here's the quick version of what I've worn so far (base every day has been my usual Nars foundation and concealer, plus Mac Painterly used as a shadow base):

July 5th (started on Sunday, since I started both of the previous challenges a day early... Can't get my timing right!)

Eyes:
Inglot M351 shadow (matte ivory)
RBR Bashful Flamingo (light peach)
Ellis Faas Eye Lights E303 (molten bronze)
UD 24/7 e/l Demolition (dark ash brown)
Dior New Look mascara

Cheeks:
Mac Devil (bright red-orange)
RBR Sea of Tranquility (rose gold highlight)
Guerlain Jolie Teint Blonde Clair 00

Lips:
Mac l/l Redd (tomato red)
Hourglass Femme Rouge l/s Raven (bright orange-red)

July 6th

Eyes:
Marc Jacobs e/s The Ingenue #1 (warm cream)
Mac e/s Bough Grey (deep green-grey)
Nars Night Porter (deep forest green)
Mac Dazzlelight (shimmery highlight)
UD e/l Zero (soft black)
Dior New Look mascara

Cheeks:
Chanel Creme blush Chamade (bright, deep coral)
Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder Luminous Light (shimmery champagne)

Lips:
RBR Murmurings (semi-sheer plum red)

July 7th

Eyes:
RBR Solstice Halcyon (warm mauve)
Dior Cuir Cannage palette (light peach and warm plum shades)
Illamasqua Precision Ink e/l Havoc (eggplant)
Dior New Look mascara

Cheeks:
Hourglass Ambient Blush Mood Exposure (warm plum)
Hourglass Ambient Blush Ethereal Glow (light cool pink)

Lips:
Guerlain Kiss Kiss l/s Red Insolence (soft warm red plum)

Aside from red, this week has been about playing around with blush and highlighter placement, to see how it shapes my face. For some reason, my face seems more "susceptible" to changes based on where I add colour, contour and highlights.

​Love your product choices for both days! What have you done differently and/learned in experimenting with color, contour & highlights. I agree they all make a huge
difference. I have a huge head and face and try to camouflage their hugeness by contouring.

Look #2 is speaking to me. Sounds really pretty.

Here's today red look:

Nars All Day Luminous Foundation in Cadiz
Nars Caramel and Amande Ccncealers mixed
Gucci brow pencil

Wet n Wild Fergie For My Primas eyeshadow primer
Mac Give Me Fire eyeshadow in inner corner of eyes (Mac Red Red Red Collection)
Mac Red Alert eyeshadow on lid (Mac Red Red Red Collection) This was the featured red color for the look
Mac Last Dance Dazzle eyeshadow on center of lid
Mac Noir eyeshadow on crease and outer V (Mac Burgundyx9 palette)
All these shadows are first time uses

Mac uninterrupted eyeshadow (transition)
Tom Ford black eyeliner duo pen to make baby wings
Urban Decay Perversion eyeliner to tightline
Chanel Le Volume mascara

Chanel Les Beiges Mariniere #2 on cheeks
Mac Eternal Sun blush
Becca Champagne Pop highlighter

Fashion Fair Sweet Maple lipstick

I like this look. I think adding the Last Dance Dazzle eyeshadow made the eyes more pink than it was before. I like the look with and without the Last Dance shadow.

Today's reds included MAC Franky Scarlet blush, MAC Revenge Sheer Shimmer Powder and Milani Baked eyeshadow in "I Heart You" which I paired with Motif over Indianwood p/p and shades from the UD Original Naked palette. I also wore a red and white dress which was totally not intentional (and its the only red clothing I have I think) and yesterday I wore Tarte's Natural Beauty blush.

My red look today is pretty much the same as yesterday sans blush, and I used a different lip product. I used my Sephora BD gift, NARS Cruella Velvet Matte Lip Pencil.
It's a nice dark red, it's surprisingly creamy and wears really well.

Very nice!!!!!!! I don't have a lot of red clothing either---I like the color very much but I seldom buy more than a red sweater or accessories. I need to work on that.

girlhaha.gif
Well then I'd better check that out.

​Wow---I just saw it-----beautiful red Shars. I'm glad you'r enjoying it.
I wore it for the first time today! It is creamy but doesn't transfer a lot and lasts the whole day!!! I got mine from ULTA in a set that came with the full sized lipstick and a full sized lip pencil for about $26. The full sized lipstick on its own is $22 and the pencil is around $20! I bought a nude set as well. I'm excited to try that one next.

By the way, did we ever choose a colour for our upcoming week(s) after this Red Week?
