Theme Makeup with a Purpose

[Medgal07]

I think this was the decision above. The next 3 themes are up!

Exactly

 

[Medgal07]

These are amazing themes! Pastels will be a challenge for me, but that's what I said about metals and it worked out pretty well.

I'm makeup-less today as I've been getting ready for painters who are coming to do my bedroom tomorrow. I suspect I'll be AWOL then as well, since we're camping in the living room and I don't really have access to my mirror or my makeup until we can start to move back. I already have a few ideas humming around in my little brain, though.

I like the diversity of the colors within each theme. As for pastels----so your's can be deeper colors that will suit
your needs---only fair thing to do. I went w/o makeup on Saturday and did a quick smokey eye w/a pop of silver
as my metal for today.

I love renovation and getting things painted but I hate living through it. I hope it goes well!!!

Can you what-------avoid green for the week?

Gold Gloss????? How do you like the Tacha Skin Mist????

We just need second heads!!!!!

Love it! I can't stop looking at myself in the mirror. I need to wash it all off now.

That's just so awesome------copy & paste the look in a document so you can recreate it---I often forget what I wore in my looks. I'm now keeping a document
of favs so I can recreate the looks.

So, after going the simpler (but totally valid! No judgment here!) route of being super obvious with my looks and the themes, I decided to get a bit more abstract today. Hopefully you don't think I'm looney tunes! By the way, if you looked at my outfit, you'd never think that I was doing a Country Meadow look.

And just for Meddy:

As I said, a non-literal approach but I tried to pick colors I'd see in a country meadow!

 

[Medgal07]

As for eye looks w/o green----I just revisited the inspirational pics and I see lots of lavender, purple, blue, coral, black & white! Have fun!!!!

I love this look and how you've constructed it. Perfectly on theme!

I was so lazy today but I'm obsessed with my lips today. I had to run errands so I did the old default neutral eye look, BUT I satisfied my goal to use a new product.
I did that by constructing my eye look with my new Chanel Les 5 Ombres Entrelacs Palette. My lips were the star of the show, inspired by the gorgeous orange coral
flowers in Katred's meadow pics. I wore Guerlain Geneva lipstick---orange coral topped with Dior Addict Fluid-stick Pandore (Bright Coral)754. It was bright love!!!!
I'm obsessed---at least for today!!!

Thank you for reminding me that Geneva has been on my wish list forever... Corals don't always work on me, but that one is so glow-y and luscious that I feel powerless to resist.

As I suspected, I went makeup-less today. I'm usually pretty good about "getting ready for work" even though I work from home, but I didn't sleep at all last night and then the painter arrived this morning and I just couldn't muster up the energy. Also, My makeup is sort of spread out over two rooms (meaning that I have boxes in two different rooms, not that the collection takes up two whole rooms!), so I wasn't even entirely sure where to start looking.

In order to get myself relaxed last night, I started thinking about items in my collection I could use for the "meadows" theme. Some people count sheep... I count eye shadows...

Wonderful descriptions! I was so incredibly tired today I couldn't do the theme. I did get ready last night with my pedicure - bright green and I was wondering if I should do a matching mani or got with Fraicheur (I haven't worn it yet either) In fact I took out all the green polishes I have't used yet. I did test Fraicheur on a thumb and it's still there. I'm thinking of trying to use them all this week.

Peony and Blush Suede is high on my fragrance wish list. I may purchase it soon. Oh and I love the use of Rose Fix +

Love these!

No proper look today, because hubby and I spent the first half of the day at the pool, but I want to show you the awesome new sunglasses he gave me for my birthday! They're from a cool Austrian designer called Andy Wolf. Love them!!!

Happy Belated Birthday!!!

Lovely sunglasses too - hubby has good taste!
On a side note: Your Dr. Who phone case is AWESOME!!!
