You ladies are so much fun! I finally finished painting my bedroom this afternoon, so I just have to put up my wardrobe tomorrow. It's going to be a relief sleeping at my place again tomorrow! I still have a bunch of bits and pieces to do around my place, but at least my bedroom will be spruced up! I wore heroine yesterday and silly today. Heroine was not patchy or sheer, and stayed all day. I'm wearing silly today with a cat eye. Simple, bright looks for a springtime reduced-access to stash! Glad prettypackages doesn't owe us any pms...

Oh Aradhana, enjoy your room. Is there anything better than a freshly painted and organized room? That's awesome.
So, did you wear Silly lipstick and eyeshadow or just the lipstick? It's a very pretty pink! I went for a soft simple look too today that actually turned out well. I didn't feel fly or anything (LOL) but it was nice....soft lavender eye look, vintage grape on the cheeks and Viva Glam Nicki 2. This was the first time that I wore it and it looks really pretty. I used MAC's Plum lip liner and topped the lipstick w/VGN2 lipglass. Love it!

Medgal07, , darling how are you? I have had a hetic schedule. I have gone three days with no make up.This is a first.i wanted to not leave house/studio till I completed my painting. I was ot last night well early evening, somebody said u are wearing alot of make up.This is strange as I do generally, also 2othe r people have said I am pale llooking. I think I am off thr Nars l.R.P.It has a place but I don't knoow that it it is not slighty theatrical. I want to look brilliant; bt latetly I seem to have been bored with my look.Time for a change.I am thinking of pale eyeshadows perhaps golds, taupe&brown.I always avoided this previously, something that you may help with.U are so pretty in &out.Love Misss O
On the purple topic, does anyone have any ideas on how to use MAC Altered State e/s? It has a veluxe pearl finish, and the color makes me want to put it on my lid (and under the eye)with Trax in the crease, but then again it is dark enough for a good crease color with a color like Hepcat or Plum Dressing. Have y'all used this and have combos to share?

Miss O you are gorgeous! I know we all have insecurities from time-time, and/ or things that are just a part of who we are. Often the best thing to do is to embrace those things and make the best of them. Some of the most beautiful women in the world are pale---and are totally stunning, as are you!!!
I've been loving soft eyeshadow lately, which you can totally handle. I love your idea of wearing golds, taupes and browns. Frankly, you would look amazing in all of those. Through our current theme on this thread---PURPLE----I've rediscovered some of my favorite soft colors, like MAC's Beautiful Iris, Idol Eyes & Digit.
As an artist, you know colors like none other. Explore and have fun with it. I've been alternating between NARS LRP, Hourglass Ambient Lighting powder and MAC Sheer Mystery powder and I love them all.
I hope you'll visit this thread more often and be inspired, as I am by the amazing women here who love makeup and love exchanging ideas. This is a fun and friendly place to hang out!
Thanks for your kind words.

I don't own Altered State but I looked it up--it's a really beautiful, rich color. It reminds me of Fig 1. I agree that it's a good crease color but it's also good for a dark purple smokey eye. As such, I would use Half Wild paint pot under it. I've used Fig 1 as a crease color with Idol Eyes on the lid, Violet pigment to transition, and on lower lash line. I hope I'll have more to share as I play and experiment with this month's theme.
I like. I think I was looking for permission for the purple smokey eye lol. I don't have Idol Eyes but I am thinking I have Plum or something very similar. I had forgotten about Half Wild! I will experiment with this today. Thank you, as always.

I love the look of an accent wall. You still have plenty of days left in the month for purple makeup. I'm having a blast because this focus is allowing me to really make a dent (That's the whole point right?) in my products. In addition to my 15-shadow MAC palette of purples and lavenders, I've also been using the 'Spoiled Rich' palette from Archie's Girls.
