I always get compliments when I wear it with Brick lipliner and Comet blue dazzleglass. HTH!

thankyou for replying i ordered the 2 shadows and i heard so much about that l/s i got that also i was looking for a nice pink e/s so hopefully this will work for me and i never got parrot

but im happy i'm gonna be getting talent pool and i wanted smoke and diamond but i can't find that anywhere

I love it for a run out the door in five minutes look..coz it brightens the face w/o overdoing it..I have slightly darker outer corners and this perks my face up..NOTE: I am an NC 43 so its not actually a concealor for that kind of use! loool
I think it works well with every kind of eyeshadow really..I usually do warm looks as they are most flattering, but it works with cool looks just as great coz it looks like my skin but better! I went to get TFSI yesterday but they were sold out

boo..coz paint pots crease on me a tiny bit and colors fade a tad...even though my lids aren't really oily..they're normal!! :S oh well..
I would HIGHLY reccomend soft ochre..its so pretty! But you enablers!! You got me againnnnn!!! Rubenseque? consider it bought, my dears.

Sock Hop was LE with Heatherette eh? Fuck me..I missed all the hot shit from Heatherette and Fafi...

other really nice shadows are: expensive pink, Amberlights, Ricepaper
Solar white, Retrospeck, tan pigment, SKETCH...any warm eyes palette..
I collect those kinda..coz the colors are always really nice and complement our skintone!

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??​

OMG how did I miss this post??? So sorry hun! Hmmm I guess you've got watery eyes? any allergies at all?? Im sorry it didnt work out...Did you try the setting technique by any chance?

I saved up my gift cards from christmas for fafi!

There are some authentic sellers on ebay, i have added 3 to my favourites because i know that they sell me 100% mac products. I beleive there's a thread on specktra somewhere about authentic ebay sellers.

i have a long list for mac stuff too! I'm always scared of updating it because it looks long already!

My daughter, of all people, points out I look 'mean' when I line my lower eyelids :-( Lipsticks - oh I love Dubonnet, Twig and Rozz Revival from MAC and Chocolate Raspberry from Clinique. The one look I'm dying to nail is a soft pink-grey eye and light lips, inspired by the Indian actress Rani Mukherjee in some old Titan watch ads . Couldn't find any pictures, just this video on YouTube YouTube - Rani Mukherjee in Titan Watches I think she looks fab. Any ideas on products?

Hey!!!
Okay well this is my first post and Id just thought id add my two cents to this huge discussion board..

What I use to get lips like that is a BROWN lipgloss

... yea i know it sounds weird but honestly they are amazing on our brown skintones!!... it shows up nude but its not overrrly glossy or pinkish.. its amazing!! try it... i have one department store brand.. i cant even remember who its by but its smells like coffee/mocha ... so yea try out ones like those!!

Hope that helps

awww thanks Ziya you're such a sweet girl

btw, my aunt's name is Atefeh too...heheh i guess it's kind of a common name in the community. We have a Persian MA in our local MAC store too but she's on the darker side so I actually always though she was Indian until she told me she wasn't. Persian girls I guess can look anything from white to Indian so it's hard to tell.

It would be great to get some recommendation from you. I'll continue stalking this thread
