What are you wearing today?

[CatsMeow]

OK - I think my camera is not picking up ANY colour. Yesterday, spiritualize and prussian looked muted grey in pics, but IRL it was pretty bright. For today's look in the pic below you can't even tell I have Pinked Mauve on... not to mention my skin is all "shiny".
ugh - *throws camera against wall*

Sublime Nature, Shroom, Gold Mode, Gold Stroke, Pinked Mauve, Reflects Bronze, Dark Obsession:

PS - I think I need to do something about my hairy mclary eyebrows. lol

Oh try it! It really brings out the reddish tones of both Twinks and 100 Strokes, and gives a really gorgeous shade! I used both on the lid, and my tip for that is to be sure and do the crease color (in this case, Embark) first...I tried it both ways, and this makes blending like 1000x easier.

I love you're fringe, my hair is really thin so I can't have a full fringe like that.

How did you go with the brown eyeliner and mascara? I've always used black too and haven't tried the browns cos I didn't know if it would have the impact I like.

Speaking of hairy mclary unruly eyebrows; does anyone have an eyepencil/gel that they recommend?

My problem is that I have unnaturally black hair.. and naturally brown eyebrows. heheh. If I'm sparse with dark eye pencil it looks ok (i know, it's a faux pas to go darker than natural colour), but if i match, it sometimes looks weird with my black goth-o hair.

In the pics above I've just used a lancome dark brown eye pencil very lightly. I think I need some sort of gel to keep those pesky hairs in place tho!

I actually use brown eyeliner quite often now, and I didnt see too much of a difference with the brown mascara - it just looked a little bit more soft and not quite as much definition.

I havent tried the mac brow gel, but I do use the eyebrow shaders that they have (the powders in the slide compact). The one I use is Maple/Soft Charcoal (even though I dont state it in my FOTD's), then I just spray a little bit of hairspray onto my finger and use that little bit of hairspray to keep them in place. I figure it's cheap and it works, so hey - why not?

I've found that the 266SE is good to use for brow shading. I think that's about all it's good for

Grrr.. Vex better be the same as Pincurl!! Doesn't matter.. I love all the duochromes, so I probably end up getting that one.

Yeah, Carbon and #226 were very scary! MAC should have made #226 in white hair, so I could see how much I was putting on the brush lol

 

[CatsMeow]

Hey chickies!

Prior to wiping off yesterday's eye makeup last night I decided to play with some colours (on top of yesterday's look) as I was determined for the colour to show up more in pics. I added more pinked mauve, more shroom, a blacktrack f/line flick with Aqualine LLL on top for good measure.

I've decided to go all smokey for today's look... given the milder weather!

Please disregard the fallout under my eyes - I had to run out the door this morning!

Vex looks like it has almost a green tinge to it, and Pincurl a pinky tone...
Hmm.., given that swatch, I reckon they look heaps different. (Sorry Samibabe! lol)

 

[sambibabe]

Hmmm Vex looks like paler Henna.. I swatched it at the store, but now I can't remember, because I usually swatch many many shadows at once.

Temptalia got a look today using Her Glitz Glitter liner. Grrr.. Looks like I'll be getting that one at the VIP night. Hope it is not too expensive here, since it doesn't come with special HK packaging.
