I feel your pain! I wear a full face of makeup every weekday plus when I go out on weekends...so when I do anything differently people always notice and comment!!
For instance, I've been trying to go lighter on the eye makeup lately, to give it more of a day look..So I skipped my daily dose of thin black eyeliner; first I slowly phased out the waterline and then now the top liner...and people are like oh..your eyes look...different...:S
Jeezus...tehehhe!

To ease your way into the brights go for lip glosses first so you get to see a pop of sheer colour. and then splurge on lipsticks - so give the following a try: Pink Poodle, Lychee Luxe and Venetian. My kinda girl... two of the hottest ls's ever! Gladiola is one sexyMF and Impassioned is even scrummy. Pink Nouveau is soooooo cute but needs a lot of work to make it rock, it can look a little pasty on anything over nc30/35 so work it with a liner and perhaps under Pink Plaid matte ls. Do it!!! Not at all. Angel is baby pink and VGII is baby beige-y 
I really need to check out Zerin on YT! Mission for the weekend! Anyone call pull off bright lips, just try glossing it at first or a bit of TLC over a bright lipliner so it isnt so opaque? Welcome girl! I'm also NC40! try out Studio sculpt in nc40 too but you may be able to go one down on the concealer. But pls try before you buy. I have tried the LM concealers and agree they are good but I kinda just used the one shade in the duo and not the other so didnt buy again. Her mineral loose powder is AMAZING as are some of her lipsticks (try Rose and Pink Champagne) and I cant live without the Secret Brightening powder. Yes, it was OK. Try and get a sample before you buy and also try MACs which I think is pretty good too. |
LOL I LOVE YOU DP!!!

Chatterbox is like a real Barbie pink colour on our skintones, on some tones (nc42plus) it may look quite bold so I would suggest apply two coats and then blot with tissue. Then once you are more confident with bolds go full on with with 3 layers and smile

Do you have a MA that you like and is helpful at your store?
Do any of you guys have any desis at your local MAC?
Finally... I bought Nars Gina blush yday (like it, its like a deeper versions of Peaches. I like it with Luster on top). I also bought Nars oil free foundation in St Tropez. Perfect match and light texture, good cverage foundation but pricey! It reminds me of MUFE HD.
I also bought Grape pigment and the new skincare from MAC. Amazing.
BUT GUYS..... I AM IN LOVE with the VG SE lipstick. Like really IN LOVE. It goes everywhere with me and got two compliments within me wearing it for half an hour (not whilst working). GO BUY TONS OF IT!

I love the new Vivaglam lippie as well.
SO PRETTY!
I have a desi brown MA named Aaliya at a Mac counter and I made her do my makeup about 1-2weeks ago. She did a great job. She was the one who told me to get Other Worldly blush and Gladiola lol...and those are my HG items and I even got backups of these.

I heard about these shows awhile back. Did you check online about which stalls maybe there? I checked couple of weeks ago even though I'm quite far from there..lol...there was one inToronto a while back but I never bothered going. It's $30 per ticket....let us know if it's worth it. I know it must be really exciting!! I might go next time they have it in Toronto.
Eve pearl will be there.
Her makeup is too expensive...I would never buy it though...lol
Lollipop from Youtube bought herself a Mac pro discount card from there...I don't know how but I heard from someone.

Hi Zerin, or anyone else who wants to jump in.
I am going to a wedding in a couple of weeks and looking for suggestions. I am wearing a black with gold embroidery outfit and was wondering what eyeshadow and makeup combo I should wear. I'm not sure if I should wear a gold look or something with color.
I notice that you (Zerin) wear the blunt blush alot, is that perm or LE?
Thanks ladies!

blunt is a perm....I would maybe use tan pigment on the lid with carbon blended in the crease..melon on inner lid and naked in tear duct and hilight...smudge carbon on lash line and wing e/l lil bit of deep truth on lower lash line..not too matchy, gold but stunnin nonetheless...

Thanks Ziya, I don't have melon or tan pigment, within that color spectrum I have goldmine, amber lights, expensive pink could I sub one of those. I would not mind buying one or two more shadows! Thanks! Let us know how the show went.

Glitterati - That's a combo's pretty. You can always sub goldmine or amberlights for melon for that kind of look. Another look is similar to a tutorial I have done called Neutral Gold Party Look. Since you dont have melon...apply goldmine on 2/3 of lid then amberlights on outter lid and sheerly apply a rusty colour like cranberry right above the crease. Then darken the crease with a brown and you can make it more dark with black too. I like using gold sheen highlights. Try Vanilla pigment or a shade that is similar. You can us MSFs to highlight the inner eye corners too's a
