I managed a fall look last night----grey & burgundy. I'm most excited that I've now completely used the 'shade' side of Tom Ford Shade & Illuminate. Sadly, I didn't touch the illuminate side, a cream highlighter that I absolutely hated. I would purchase the product again if they sold the shade portion in a separate compact!!

[COLOR=0000FF]With Saturday's look I finally managed to incorporate colors that are more germane to the season as well as, use new products for the first time, that I've literally had for months.  [/COLOR] [COLOR=181818][COLOR=0000FF]EYES:[/COLOR][/COLOR] [COLOR=181818][COLOR=0000FF]UDPP Anti Aging Formula [/COLOR][/COLOR] [COLOR=0000FF]Chanel[/COLOR][COLOR=0000FF] Tissé D’ Automne ( 254) [/COLOR]     [COLOR=0000FF] Golden Olive[/COLOR] [COLOR=0000FF]to inner 2/3 third lids[/COLOR] [COLOR=181818][COLOR=0000FF]     Dark Olive to crease & lower lash line[/COLOR][/COLOR] [COLOR=181818][COLOR=0000FF]     Rusty Brown to transition[/COLOR][/COLOR] [COLOR=181818][COLOR=0000FF]     Peach to highlight brow[/COLOR][/COLOR] [COLOR=181818][COLOR=0000FF]The Balm, Mary Lou Manizer to highlight brow and inner corners[/COLOR][/COLOR] [COLOR=181818][COLOR=0000FF]MAC Blacktrack to upper  lash lines  [/COLOR][/COLOR] [COLOR=181818][COLOR=0000FF]Chanel Chanel Stylo Yeux WPLL Eyeliner, Ardent (rust) to waterline[/COLOR][/COLOR] [COLOR=181818] [COLOR=0000FF]Giorgio Armani Eye & Brow Maestro to fill brows[/COLOR]

I only have the creamy concealer and the Light reflecting powder - tbh I can live without them. That's too bad about the brush! I had an ebay copy of it years ago before my obsession started
lol.gif
I didn't have any problems - it was very very soft.


You're beautiful! I love everything about this look.
I love, love, love the light reflecting powder---that was an EO recommendation. I have both loose and pressed but I prefer the loose------good stuff!!!

Thanks so much.

It kicks up a bit of powder but I LOVE it. The perfect olive green-----I live for it, and this is it. I can't believe how long it took me to get to this palette.
I also like that it will work with pink lips, nude lips and all ranges of orange lips. It's a great palette!!!!

I have the pressed one - it's in one of my bags and I always forget to use it. I'll try to wear it this week.

LOVE Very Prive on you! It goes really well with the slight smokey eye look.
I notice you seem to use the MAC mystery powder sometimes. How do you like it and how would you say it is similar too or different from other setting powders you use? I was interested in getting it when they repromoted it last year but I never got around to buying it.

Thanks Shars---I love my MAC grey eye shadows---they'r like comfy old slippers that you want to keep forever!!!
I love the Mystery Powder because of the color match---so perfect for me, the silky texture and the flawless look that it gives.

My weekend round up:

Saturday:

EYES:
NYX Eye and Eyebrow pencil in Dark Brown for middle and tail.
Maybelline Expert Wear eye pencil in Dark Brown to fill in
Sleek Sunset Palette (shimmery burgundy and rose gold colours for inner and outer lid, the black for the crease), KVD wolf and cleopatra from the Ladybird palette to soften the crease. Random BH cosmetics shade for brow highlight
Inglot AMG Gel Eyeliner - 77
UD All Nighter Eyeliner (waterproof) on bottom water waterline with KVD wolf and the corresponding upper lid colours from the Sleek Sunset Palette smudged into it and in tear duct.
Too Faced Better Than Sex mascara - I only realised on Saturday that I have a million and one mini mascaras and a few full size ones and NONE of them are waterproof!! I was going to the beach and didn't have one single waterproof mascara.
ohboy.gif
I have to rectify that.


FACE:
Rimmel Stay Matte primer in 003 (the colourless one)
Revlon ColorStay Mineral Mousse foundation (w/ SPF20) set with MUFE Pro Finish multi-use powder foundation in 174
NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer in Amande set with Ben Nye Translucent Powder in Topaz
Bronzer: Covergirl Queen Ebony Bronze
I so don't remember what blush and highlight I wore.

LIPS:
Stila Stay All Day Liquid Lipstick in Caramello over Limecrime Liquid Lipstick in Riot. I wanted a more beigy nude and Riot is wayyy too terracotta so Caramello made the perfect balance.

NAILS: My OCC Black Dahlia nail polish was chipping but I was too tired to change it so I just put an Essie nail polish in 408 Wrapped in Rubies.

Lesson of the day: Only my brow products and concealer can survive swimming with turtles in goggles and snorkles and lasting a second stop to view a sunken ship and coral reefs. The lipstick only lasted until the second stop. It was faded after lol. Some of the foundation persevered but not totally.

Here's a pic of me wearing my Caramello/Riot lip combo. I was having too much fun and didn't remember to take a pic without my sunglasses so no pics of my eye look :( lol.

Sunday AM:


EYES:
NYX Eye and Eyebrow pencil in Dark Brown for middle and tail.
Maybelline Expert Wear eye pencil in Dark Brown to fill in
UDPP and NYX white eyeshadow base in the pot form
Random colours from the Viseart Editorial Brights palette. Random gold eyeshadow from LORAC Unzipped palette for brow highlight. @Prettypackages, I'm not sure I was happy with the intensity of the yellow and green shades on my lids but the other colours performed really well in my crease so I'm going to try them again with another base.
Inglot AMC Gel Eyeliner - 77 for upper liner and wing
UD Velvet Matte 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in Plushie Crave on bottom water waterline - I'm not impressed with these UD Velvet Matte pencils apart from the brown one (crave) and the moss green one (cult). The others do not last at all in my waterline compared to what I get with the other regular UD pencils and those other two velvet matte ones. I'm wondering if that's why UD has them on clearance when they were only launched last year around this time.
Benefit They're Real mascara

FACE:
Rimmel Stay Matte primer in 003 (the colourless one)
Illamasqua Rich Liquid Foundation in RF 325 set with MAC Mineralize Skin Finish in Dark (I'm struggling to determine whether I like this Illamasqua foundation. The first time I wore it, it was amazing. Now I'm not so sure. I may need to try with a different setting powder and different mattifying primer. It didn't work out that well on its own.)
NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer in Amande set with Ben Nye Translucent Powder in Topaz
Bronzer: Covergirl Queen Ebony Bronze
Blush: Again I can't remember
Highlight: Pretty sure I used The Balm's Betty Lou Manizer

LIPS:
MAC Red (satin)

Sunday PM:


EYES:
NYX Eye and Eyebrow pencil in Dark Brown for middle and tail.
Maybelline Expert Wear eye pencil in Dark Brown to fill in
UD Primer Potion
The top right hand burgundy colour from the Viseart Dark Mattes palette with the second to left shade in the top row for my crease and outer v and the far left brown on the top to soften the crease. I believe I used my regular random BH cosmetics shade for brow highlight.
Inglot AMC Gel Liner - 77 for upper liner and wing
UD Velvet Matte 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in Crave on bottom water waterline with the corresponding shades from the Viseart Dark Mattes palette smudged into it. I used one of the gold/champagne shades from the LORAC Unzipped palette in the tear duct.
Benefit They're Real mascara

FACE:
Rimmel Stay Matte primer in 003 (the colourless one)
Illamasqua Rich Liquid Foundation in RF 325 set with MAC Mineralize Skin Finish in Dark (Was amazing again last night - so confused)
NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer in Amande set with Ben Nye Translucent Powder in Topaz
Bronzer: Covergirl Queen Ebony Bronze
Blush: MAC x Simpsons powder blush in Sideshow You (LE)
Highlight: A layering cocktail of TheBalm's Betty-Lou and Mary-Lou manizers

LIPS:
Melt's Ultra Matte lipstick in Laced with MAC's Cork lip pencil to cancel out the greyness. It was a little more grey than I was expecting but I still really like it.

I NEVER remember to take selfies
