To my Desi/South Asian sisters out there! And everyone else too, actually! :)

[DirtyPlum]

I'm gonna buy me some Nars MU for my birthday next week and I'ma deffo try out Albatros, keep hearing raves on it.

Its nice to have a desi thread... thats one thing I miss at work, we get ALOT of nw20s and the odd south asian rarely so I dont get to rave abt colours that suit us (which is pretty much everything!).

 

[ndn-ista]

Yes def agree Dirty Plum! and you won't be dissapointed with Albatros.

I am really glad to have other desi inputs, suggestions, recs etc. If anyone is in the nj/ny areas, I would love to meet up!

Both are gorgeous! But if you want to start with one - I'd recommend desert rose.

I was at Mac yesterday and saw both Jubilee and Freckletone....both are very similar. Jubilee is in beige pink while Freckletone is in beige yellow and both are lustres...they looked pretty much the same on me...so you're fine...lol

SOooo I've noticed lately, with the hurrying in the morningness I havent been doing colorful looks lately..

omg am I turning into an old lady?? I seriously never thought I'd be one of bobbibrown types? you know what i mean?? like I just couldnt bring myself to buy mocha or twig l/s the other day coz in my head it looked way too "auntie" LOL I know, I am crazy..

 

[Ziya]

ALSO, lol I am so dissapointed with my eyeshape....like I have large-ish eyes but they're hooded

so no real crease...its sooo hard to do eyeshadow looks..
I've tried Nireyna's technique from youtube..its ok I havent mastered it quite yet...and its TIME CONSUMING and the results on me are meh at best...any recs for tutorials or any advice? I've seen some of Celly's tutorials on here but shes deleted most of them :S TIA!!

 

[animacani]

I have really small lids =( So eyeshadow does only look good on me when I close my eyes.. =(

 

[DirtyPlum]

everyone here should go out and buy the warm pigment set! and then wear them all together, at the same time. I got over excited... but keep looking at my eyes!

Sold abt 3 freckletones today... and kept thinking of this thread lol!

 

[Ziya]

OH oh ohhhh please post pics!!

hahaha Ye-ah thats how we brown ppl work...We spread the word hahaa what city do you work in?

 

[saadia77]

Hello all! I am back with the same stupid question..but this time I experimented so I had something to report with!

I put Urban Decay Primer Potion on my eyelid, then lined the upper eye lid of one eye with Mac fluidline, then lined the other eyelid with bobbi brown gel eyeliner. Then I applied some mac select moisture cover concealer in NW35 under my eye. Approxiamately 3 hours later, the BB one had smeared or "traveled" to under my eye, mostly around the outer corners. And about 4 hours later the Mac one had done the same. Not as bad as the BB but nonetheless still smudged to the bottom.

What am I doing wrong??​

I bought the warm pigment set and can't wait to try it!! How do you wear it??

Well done on selling 3 Freckletones!!

I went to the MAC counter yesterday and whilst looking at the blushers i kept thinking about this thread. I wanted to buy a blusher so bad but i didn't know which one to go for. I really wanted Blossoming cremeblush but it was out of stock

even as a refill. I know it's getting discontinued and maybe that's why it was out of stock.

This is a comparison of Mac Desert Rose to Nars Outlaw Blush. Outlaw blush has shimmer in it while desert rose is matte.

Mac Desert Rose Blush Nars Outlaw Blush

On NC 42/43

Sorry the pics did not come out as good.
