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

[highonmac]

i am thinking about getting the two out of three quads (noteriety and the purply one but not sure) and three of the six eyeshadows in purple show, haunting, violet trance and maybe maira's magic. Does anyone know if aquadisiac is similar to haunting? also i one brash and bold piggie

and what do you ladies think about the blushes?

 

[TDelicate]

gah i told myself not to look.. but i caved.. now i find myself wanting at the very bare minimum young thing bcz of my nude lip phase.. on display looks amazing for fall too but i wanna check it out in store first bcz i think i have a buxom babe that may be similar..

ive had my eye on benefit's one hot minute powder too.. i checked it out in store and its def uber finely milled, does give sparkle.. but im uncertain whether it'll even show up on our skintone - anybody give this one a shot?

*sigh* i can never get enough... lol i wish i had more reason to play with all my make up... bcz i try to minimize what my skin has to deal with on a daily basis..

what are you guys lemming these days? from the new collection or otherwise?

Hey, I'm nc43 and most blushes make me look clownish. I have found that brownish plummy/rose blushes work best for me. MAC Ambering Rose is my favourite.

Ambering rose is beautiful! I was just playing with it last night

shy_makeup_girl - Along the same color family as Ambering Rose- i highly highly recommend trying out cargo's coral beach. it's a bit more pricey but much more finely milled/pigmented than mac - plus bcz it is designed in stripes - its literally a highlighter/blush/bronzer in one because of the gradient. They are large enough where you can focus on different strips for each effect - or buff it all together for warm gorgeousness.. i think it could work great for your skin tone bcz its very pigmented so wouldnt take much to show and fits exactly what you're describing, so def go play with it at sephora

lemme know how it works for ya!

I like coral beach too!

It's a pretty one. And also Nars Dolce Vita and NYX Plummy mosaic powder.

Have you tried NARS albatross? IMO it is the most gorgeous highlight (I am a nc 42) but it may be a bit glowly rather than dewy. Foundation and fix+ gives me a dewy look!

 

[starryskies]

hey everyone, i have Underage lipglass that was included with the little darlings set, and honestly I have no idea how to wear such a light shade. I dont know what Lipstick and/or Lipliner to wear it with. Any suggestions for someone who is NC40?

or should i just not even bother trying to use this shade?

I've really been into Ravishing cremesheen lipstick, worn it everyday for a week! I like the consistency and it lasts throughout the day longer than any of my other lipsticks. I've been reaching for Cheeky Bronze MSF alot lately too.

Also, for nights out using a black base under eyeshadows to really make them pop. I'm using blacktrack fluidline smoked out on the lid. Highly recommended under cranberry e/s with sketch in the crease

MAC 's Dollymix blush, NARS Torrid and albatross, my new MUFE 92 e/s (don't think I will make a dent in this one ever but I sure am going to try!), the old goodies woodwinked and coppering e/s and mufe aqua eyeliner in purple (11L which has fueled alot of compliments and accentuates my brown eyes). Also, my newly aquired #239 and # 226 brushes. Err.. yup.. thats all..

I love Cheeky Bronze!! I will definately try wearing cranberry over a black base. Thanks for the tips!

What complexion are you? I would love to try Ravishing out.

Thanks for sharing! What do you wear with the MUFE 92? I bought it a while back and haven't used it yet

I am loving cheeky bronze msf and natural flare mes at the moment. And after deciding i was going to pass on Love that look i caved and got Strike a pose es and i'm on the fence with one off.

I want to see the Photorealism and Notriety quads, they haven't been released here yet

 

[Ziya]

Me has been showing love to blonde's gold and chocolate brown piggies...and of course, Mischievous Marissa from theBalm (HG eyeshadow and cheek highlighter!) Peaches, Eversun and Tippy blush...#3 and #7 lash
I found a new HG mascara!! its sexy curves from Rimmel

I love it! Also, love my new 224 brush I dont know how I lived without it lol

I really like Korres' tinted moisturizer, I am a nc 43 and I wear 03 Tan I think..its great except it gives me dry patches on my cheeks I think!
any reccs for a good moisturizer for sensitive, combination skin?

So.... I bought Nars Torrid today. I swatched it on my hand after hearing so much about it on here and it looked completely different to anything that I have. I tried it this evening and I have to say I really like it. I felt it was a tiny bit red on me but it still did something different to my face - made it brighter and fresher looking. So yeah, I can live with that!

I also bought L Mercier Flawless Fix pencil in Neutral. Although this is advertised as a concealer, I bought it to wear in my waterline to brighten the eye (as opposed to using Fascinating/white - which i feel looks a bit fake on desi skin) so I'll let you know how i get on with that.

I also picked up a sample of Eve Lom cleanser which I keep hearing raves about so am excited to try it out

 

[nunu]

Torrid is nice! It's always out of stock in my counter! Grr

Dirty Plum,
How are you girly?

What do you think of the quads that are coming out with the make up art cosmetics collection?
I'm torn between photorealism and notriety. I do believe that Notriety is dupeable..

I also need to fill up one of my palettes i have 11 empty slots and i don't know what to get...Any recommendations girls?
Thanks
xx

Hi Nunu, I'm an NC43. I have pigmented lips and really like Ravishing. On the MAC website it's described as a "clean light peachy coral". Still need to pick up a lipliner for it though!

Oooh I love Eversun! It's such a nice natural color. I've heard so many good things about Tippy I regret not picking it up when it was available.

I used to be a lurker on here and have really appreciated this thread! Most of my friends aren't into makeup so it's nice to find people who share an interest in makeup and get some tried and true rec's

I am wearing the MUFE 92 with everything! mainly golds and pinks but my favourite look has got to be a recreation of the "spock tut" here on spectra by devin with electric eel.

I do not own a single msf and am afraid to even try one on.. seems like they are easily addictive

. Since everyone and their mum loves Ravishing I haven't been able to find it in stock anywhere! So in desperation I settled on See Sheer..only problem is that I have to reapply it quite often. Boo.. not happy but I am on the lookout for lipsticks to B2M for but am feeling very uninspired by the new collections.

Hey hun - I'm cool. I'm off work for two weeks so I can fast easily... but its still hard some days! How are you?

I do really like the quads that are coming out but I think that excitement will be shortlived. Definitely go for photoR out of the three cos greens are rare... but only if u wear that colour a lot...and then the purple one... the notriety one is so blah.

What pan eyeshadows do u currently have in your palette?
