What are you wearing today?

[rockin26]

^^ Maybe low iron?

edit - ok wrote that then saw we'd moved on! Cake liner is good for MUA's cos it's cost effective, personally not a fan though.

 

[CatsMeow]

Rockin, in my kit I get the MUFE cake liner. Sounds like it might be a hassle tho. I've got a Blacktrack and Dipdown f/l coming my way from the F&F sale for my kit tho. So I can always fall back on these.

Jen your makeup radar was broken today

Sounds like a nice warm look though, I ordered Vanilla piggie at F & F ( I think??) so can't wait to try it out.

Ali you might like the cake liner, personally I thought it flaked off to easily and prefer my liquid or gel liners. Give it a go and see what you think MUFE might be a better one than I used too.

Flaked off easily? What brand was that?
I said I didn't understand the extra hassle, but it is still a good liner! If you want a natural subtle finish, then this is it. Probably great for the bridal look IMO. Once I am used to the water vs cakeliner ratio, this would work great as a 'shadow liner' look, but more pigmented way.

 

[rockin26]

It was Gorgeous and I tried one other one?? Umm Ben Nye maybe? Don't quote me on the 2nd one but I didn't fancy either of them. I can blend over my liquid liners fine but with the cake ones I found it would come away in parts and be patchy, which would suck for photography.

I'll probably stick to gel liners for bridal, once they're on ain't nothing getting em off!

I don't know those cakeliners, but I will speak for MUFE Cakeliner, since I have it and it is the one that Ali is going to have in her kit. I will also let the picture speaks for itself too

All of swatches are done with #209 brush. As you can see Cakeliner is more pigmented. I have gone over the swatches with a wet tissue - Cakeliners didn't have much staying power, but f/l strokes don't look pretty either.

I gotta get me some more paint pots Nat. I dunno why I didn't get Delft at F & F but it's probably the next one on my list.

Since I did a cool look yesterday I went for a warm glowly look today and I was busting to try out my new Nars bronzer (even though it is in 1000 pieces). It took a little longer to do this but my skin is glowing today and I'm getting some nice comments on it

What's with these soon-to-be makeup artists cravings for Delft p/p?

I have to admit it is gorgeous, especially with Club e/s! Do you think your MUA can scrape off some Delft p/p sample for you?

Picture please!! I would like to see the glitter bomb!

Here is my EOTD.. Damn camera washed out everything, except the clummy mascara lol

 

[rockin26]

^^ I can see Aquavert!

I've wanted Delft for ages and really want to build my teals and greens and this just seems like a staple for that. I've only got Rubenesque at the mo and it's a good base under golds and coppers so now I' gotta expand. Did you ever have any probs with Bare Study? I think it was Ali that doesn't like it and I've heard it can be patchy?

The Nars isn't a glitter bomb but it makes my Mac one look like a glitter bomb. The Nars one I'm wearing today adds a nice warm glow and a sheen but not a glitter and I f*cking love it! I was never fully happy with the MAC one but I've used 95% of it anyway, just one for B2M.

I took a pic but the dam flash washes me out and I just look as white as normal

 

[sambibabe]

Yeah I think it was Ali, who had the Bare Study problem. I love it and use it everyday. I bought Soft Ochre p/p from F&F sale though, so it will replace Bare Study as everyday p/p.

Well, guess that's why Laguna is so famous for it

It is everyone's

 

[CatsMeow]

Robyn, I said exactly the same thing to Nat just an hour ago - 'I wish I had picked up Delft p/p in the F&F Sale!!!! D'oh!!!'

Great minds think alike.

Yes, 'tis I who had problems with ye Bare Study paint pot!
I've managed to get it to work for me now, but I prefer Painterly hands down. I find that BS isn't as creamy and it's difficult to apply it consistently on the lid (tends to 'ball' a bit?).

...maybe I'm just anal with my p/ps these days. I definitely wouldn't re-buy. The MAC gals rave about it - I don't see why.

So Laguna's a winner then? What about Orgasm v Springsheen, hmmm?

Really? That's just weird, dude! Maybe it is dried up a bit? Mine is as soft as umm... TFSI lol.

I swear you are my makeup doppleganger!

I ordered Plummage from F & F and didn't even think about Delft, hello!

Dunno about Bare Study V Painterly I mean what do they do? And if you weren't wearing them what difference would it make? My UDPP acts as a great base so I don't feel like I need a flesh toned p/p

I'm going to have to head to Mecca with my Springsheen and swatch them together to make a call I think. I highly rec Laguna, its the best bronzer I've tried yet

 

[CatsMeow]

My Bare Study p/p has always been like that. It's like frosty poo really. LOL. A total bitch to apply from the very beginning. I dunno... I'm anti-frost and anti-lustre it appears. Just call me the fun police. BAHAHA.

I like Painterly p/p as my base on top of my UDPP base. heheh.

I look forward to seeing whether you think Orgasm is better than Springsheen! I have neither, so very keen to find out.

I'll keep Laguna in the memory bank for later. Cheers.

I was thinking about Plummage a while back, but I have Prussian and that's kind of satisfied my darker colour for blue/green makeup so I haven't worried about it. I thought of Delft at the time but somehow it didn't end up on my final list. I kept my list rather boring.

 

[sambibabe]

Hey Cats, that's just really weird! My Bare Study has subtle shimmer and when it is applied on the lid, you don't even notice much?
