Hey, Stunner! Re: SP the taupe and pale pink shades take a few more passes than usual to build up and the plum shade is not as vibrant on me but overall all the shades work perfectly together. I'm glad I got it! I used the medium shade in Terracotta Joli Teint and it was darker than my skin tone but gave it a lovely, even coverage and warmth. It wasn't off from my neck but the ingredients were not good for me.
I love the way you showed the one base look with two different lipsticks. I really like both but if you forced me to pick one it would be the bright lip.
:haha:[COLOR=0000FF]I'm glad you're working with and liking Chanel SP[/COLOR]:bigthumb: [COLOR=0000FF] I have the GJT but it oxidized on me once---I think it was in combo with something else that I had used. I wear it occasionally---trying to use that and some[/COLOR] [COLOR=0000FF] others up. I hope you can find [/COLOR][COLOR=0000FF]something that's agreeable w/your skin. That must be so frustrating for you!!!! Right now I'm loving Armani, and backed it up[/COLOR] [COLOR=0000FF] w/their current sale.[/COLOR]
Waterweight is nice and light. I can't compare it to F&B. I squeeze out a drop of both colors and use the new Mac brush like the Chanel one and tap on my face. I had pictures to take today so I did 1 and 1/4 drop of each and built it up a bit. Looked like a nice fresh glow. I do feel I need to powder my T-zone. Well really just down my nose. I did powder all over today since I wanted a very finished look for pics. BTW I still haven't used the Chanel brush I bought. I got the Mac and the Wayne Goss one around the same time. I used the Wayne Goss with some other new foundations I had bought and naturally used the Mac one with the Waterweight. So what to use the Chanel brush with? I don't know yet.Thanks Naomi
I haven't explored or purchased any of the newer MAC products----tell me about MAC Waterweight----is it the
consistency of MAC F & B???? Sounds like a great "light" look.
Oops----I though it was peachy--yel pink maybe? It's pretty and you're right!!!! I want it to play a bigger part in
my look next time.

Thanks a lot. That stuff is awesome! [@]pinkcrush[/@] told me about it months ago and I stalked it! I have Creamy Bronze Finish and Milk Chocolate Finish which is a little darker. There are YT vids on it too. I'm hitting pan on the Creamy Bronze. I should get another just in case.
Thanks Ice!!! I also got both the MAC & Chanel brush and love them both for applying foundation. The Mac brush is a tad larger than the Chanel one. You might find it
Love it!!

Everyone is looking gorgeous. It really is. This thread has got my juices going creative wise, its like I fell back in love with makeup again especially with the depressive episode I've had recently. I've got a summer look I can share with you guys, even though I'm a few months late, and it's pretty minimal...

You're correct Maggie i did miss that question---checking now----These are quick finger swatches. The Softcore blush is deeper in color & smoother in texture than the Vengeful blush.Your skinI love the look! I've noticed that you wear Gucci Guilty a lot - it was my favourite perfume in the last years in high school, I just realised that I haven't worn it in more than 3 years! I spritzed some now to see if I still like it.
Dark lipsticks look gorgeous on you!
Beautiful sunrise and beautiful look! I think you didn't see my question in the highlighter thread - do you think the blush in Vengeful is similar to TF Softcore?

Thanks! I'll be honest re Gucci Guilty, I got the deluxe sample once from Sephora and it's right there amongst the crap on my vanity so I always reach for it and it's more of a Fall/Winter scent so I didn't wear it much during the summer. I love it. I alternate with Chloe.Your skinI love the look!
