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

[zerin]

Welcome Guddu! =) Glad to have you on board. lol

Omg! ALL THIS PEACHY BLUSH TALK!! Makes me really want Nars Gina and Gilda blushes right now! I just gotta save up for those...lol

I think I'll get Gina blush first. I've become a Nars blush collector too. I even stopped buying the normal mac blushes except the mineralize ones.

I can't wait for the dazzleglass repromote collection coming out next month....I missed out on so many colours. I only own two. I even stocked up on b2m empties to get a few dazzleglasses thru b2m. =) I know not all locations allow this. lol Toronto's pro store is awesome! =)
I know those are sheer....but do you guys have any recs of which ones have the most colour?

These pigments came out in the holliday 2008 set for warm pigments.
I used gold mode (lid), gold dusk (highlight) and gold stoke (crease)
This is a beautiful set of pigments, it really flatters our skintone

You'll be glad (or not so, lol) when you see that 6 new shades are coming out in the Summer..2 out of these are going to be perm in stores only. Sigh...

Also, i got my hands on Otherwordly...I love it!!
I think of you when i see it lol.

 

[highonmac]

I too can't wait for the dazzleglasses

and I don't own any LOL. I never tried them so all this ype is really getting my excited and impatient

Zerin you need to get those two nars blushes, they equal love. I really prefer peaches, corally type blushes, I think they compliment our skin to better, and look more natural. Something certains pink tones look to stark and bimbo like on our skin haha!

You must get Nars Torrid Blush....it's a total must have! A gorgeous peachy coral colour. It's very different to Taj Mahal of course. Nars Desire blush is another true bubble gum pink shade that's also gorgeous to wear.

Thanks Zerin! Because of your reccomendation I bought Hot Planet and I love it!!!

sounds lovely... could i dupe the milk using vanilla, or are they different? and anything dupes the violet? i have a few purple shades

 

[nunu]

You can dupe it with Helium pigment.

Nunu - Ahhh...MY ONE TRUE LOVE: MAC's OTHER WORLDLY BLUSH! I'm really glad you actually got it. It's amazing and I love how it has no glitter in it and still gives you a nice warm glow. I'm glad I got a backup of it. YAY!

highonmac - I'll be getting those nars blushes soon. =)

makeuplover7239 - I know HOT PLANET is gorgeous! Glad you're loving it!

Ziya - I actually have Impassioned lipstick and have similar colours like Show Orchid lipstick as well. I love bright lipsticks!!! lol Impassioned is super bright and opaque....lol so neon and so BOLD! It really does suit NC 43 skintones but it really depends on you about pulling it off...if you're up for it...then go ahead and try it! Don't be scared!

My favourite bright lipstick is Gladiola lipstick but that was LE from the Dame Edna collection. It's this gorgeous fuschia magenta pink matte colour. Maybe similar to girl about town.....I also love using magenta lipliner with Pink Nouveau lipstick...looks HOT!=) I still regret not getting a backup of Gladiola...who knew weird (hijra/hijre...lol) Dame Edna collection would have my HG bright lipstick.

DirtyPlum - That's such a pretty look! Would love to see a pic too.

LMAO @ hijra/hijre and i deffi agree Gladiola is my fav pink it looks great and you can pair it with so many diff things

 

[Ziya]

I tried Gladiola in store during the release of the Hijra Edna collection (LOL and no offense to anyone) it didn't suit me very well...maybe I needed a l/l.
I want to try Pink Nouveau, Impassioned, Snow Orchid,Chatterbox, Immodest and Rebel.
There is a great thread on here called Aziza's Bold Lips challenge and omg the ladies who posted are soo amazing! It makes me wana muster up some courage and work those lips!
Look at Hotmodelchiq's pictures!!!
http://www.specktra.net/forum/f197/a...ml#post1522588

I barely work the red lips thats how chicken I am..So I waited too long and now I am stuck with Tippy and Lickable

Any suggestions or reccs for how I can make these colors work on me (Separately of course!)
the mac live artist recc'd Quartz l/l for keeping Lickable pink on my pigmented lips, as it turns red on me...
TIA!

 

[Ziya]

PS I am soooooo excited for Transparent Finishing Powder

I hate Blot Powder and Select sheer is just meh for me....and both tend to break really easily.

 

[zerin]

I dont like the blot powder either!!!! I'm just trying to finish it however I can lol
I'm excited too! I hope the Transparent Finishing Powder doesn't show up as powdery white even though it's suppose to be "transparent"

You should totally STEP UP and wear those bold lips...IT'S HOT!

You should try Mac Magenta lipliner with Pink Nouveau lipstick...it looks better like that.

A lipliner always makes lips look complete. =D


WHOA! Hotmodelchiq is GORGEOUS!

 

[Ziya]

Dude. put the blot powder down. and back away slowly.
that my friend, was my skin's worst enemy. Since December....my skin developed this weird bumpy texture, like not zits but like all my pores were textured..and I never was shiny b4 yet using BP made me shiny all the time! All I wanted was a powder to set my foundation with

And then a couple months later, just like my select sheer, it shattered in my bag...I refuse to use it lol its going B2M! Also, the MA matched me with Dark...and it made my face look dirty then and even moreso now that my tan has faded..

 

[Ziya]

I know eh? she makes me want colored contacts!!! OOh Magenta l/l...must try!
I usually use a lipliner but not like to change the color or anything...I use Annabelle's Spice or Demure usually( Thanks to you!

)...sometimes MAC Beurre..Luxiva Hot Chocolate for everyday looks...Red Enriched is the brightest one I own! Definetely a must for red lips, makes the look 'cleaner' somehow

 

[animacani]

Ziya , chatterbox lipstick is so pretty! I am on my fourth lipstick right now , thats how much I love it! Its such a wearable colour! love it!
