What are you wearing today?

[panda0410]

OMG - Jen I

your birdies!!!! I LOVE SCC!!!! We had galahs when we were kids, but they arent as pretty I dont think. I want one

LOL!!

Nat, only 4?? omg....

.... that could cause me a breakdown...LOLOL!! But seriously (not incluidng euristocrats because I havent seen them yet - soon hopefully

) Funtabulous is a MUST have - I love it!! Ok...I would choose the following ~

Extra Amps... this is such a pretty bright pink with blue, one of my faves!!
Rags To Riches - this is a SUPER favourite of mine

Money Honey - this has quite a bit of glitter and has a beautoiful bright red pearl - you cant miss it!!

Steppin Out and Like Venus are a bit of a toss for me.... Like Venus is a VERY plain, run of the mill standard boring pink. Easily replaced by better colours! Steppin Out is a little sheer and the glitter component iisnt fabulously dense like say Money Honey, but the colour IS pretty so i would probably go with this one

Thanks Panda!! Yeah, I am only getting a few, because they will be perm.. I need to put some money aside for Euristocrats Dazzleglass! So I will have to get Goldyrocks, just because it is LE

.. How about Utterly Posh?

I don't know.. I have all the Dazzleglasses from RSS collection, but now I hardly ever use them. I just use lipglasses that have lots of pearls, like Fafi Totally It, etc.

^^ I completely agree with Panda - my picks would be rags to riches (the most gorgeous teal glitter!!) and money honey as it's quite versatile

Gosh, another eye injury! Hope you are okay, Billy!

LOL.. I read in other post that spectrolite mentioned something about Ungaro being boring, then 3-4 ladies came up and said it wasn't.. Now I am getting the same thing!

I have Frecklestone and Pure Rose lippies and they just don't do anything for me, but then I am not really into nude lippies, except Shy Girl.. Hey Billy, you inspired me to go and try Vegas Volt and it looked so funny on me, I laughed at myself crazy. It looked great on you though!

 

[CatsMeow]

I leave you for a couple of days and look what happens... everyone has eye probs! Jen and Billy cakes - I hope you feel better! Poor sausages.

Sambibabe - exam went ok. It was held in an absolute sweatbox, wouldn't be suprised if the uni encountered a few complaints today as a result. Wasn't the best conditions to do an exam in. (Well, that's my excuse anyway

)
I'm pretty sure I at least passed, and that's all I'm hoping for (it's my last EVER tertiary exam and it's a core subject that I don't really give a rats about).

Today's look... is nothing except Dior Show mascara. My skin has enjoyed the makeup-free days this week.

I managed to get a MAC makeover booked tomorrow morning before I head off to my hair appointment (need a trim/reshape and fringe fix); hopefully the hairdresser's don't bugger up the makeup.

Any ideas for the MAC makeover?
I kind of want to buy up on crease colours that can be used for a neutral eye (like sketch) and some mattes. So I was thinking a strong lip (like Ladybug l/s) with a neutral eye. But 'neutral' in the sense that is has colour definition on the crease. Confused? I am. lol. Going to get a sample of studio sculpt too.

 

[simplyenchantin]

I get what you mean CatsMeow! Neutral eyes are gorgeous so long as your eyeball has definition lol.. Goodluck and have fun!

Question for my lovely ladies!

First up I've been booked for my first wedding and an MUA! Very excitied. Now, the brides maids are wearing burgandy dresses and have flowers with a silver ribbon, I was thinkng maybe a mid grey colour socket or glamour eye look but wanted to get some other opinions. So what are your recs for colour combos for my brides maids?? I think I need the extra confidence in my choices for my first gig

 

[tana2210]

rockin im getting married nxt year and have a few consults for my makeup. ive been told that i should try and keep away fro darkish colours which may be really obvious if they ran (with all the happy tears) and to make sure mascara and liner are waterproof. most of my consults ive gone for a neutral spakly goldish look (my dress is cream with redish burgendy deatiling and my bridemaids are wearing dresses that match the detail) know im not a proffesional but though the advice ive recieved might be helpful

 

[rockin26]

Thanks tana! I'm pretty cool with the durability stuff and I've got my idea for the bride which is going to be fairly light low sheen gold (she likes Britney Spears makeup so pretty easy) it's more the colours I'm considering for the bridesmaids. I get to trial the bride but not them which is fine but I'm buying more e/s for my kit and wanted to get suggestions to see what others thought on here seeing as everyone knows heaps about makeup here, especially MAC.

[billy_cakes]

Really Sambi? I cant imagine it looking silly on you? Is it too bright? or coming off as orangey? Maybe its they eye combo your wearing it with? I always thought it was quiet versitile!

Congrats Rockin! Your first wedding! Thats so exciting! Soft golds might be pretty with the bridesmaids?

Hope your eye is okay Jen! Yours sounded like it was nastier than mine! Birdies can give awful bites. I got mine from someone throwing a MasterFoods Smokey bbq sause bottle at me accidently and my face caught it

 

[panda0410]

^^oooh Jeanette you have Brunette too!!! What brush are you using? I LOVE this MSF so much I got another one - but I think I need a different brush - I was thinking a fan brush....??


Yikes Billy!!! Those bottle are heavy - no wonder you ended up with a bruiser!!

I agree on the birdies too - our galahs chewed through their aviary door and flew away when I was about 10 - but not before I got bitten by one of them in the process....LOLOL!! I hope you are feeling better Jen

Rockin I know nothing about weddings...LOLOL!!! The last one I went to was when I was like 5

And everyone wore green!!

 

[capmorlovesmac]

Yes I do!

Not for long .. just a week now because I was unsure if I would like it.

Because I am so pale I used a 187 dupe and dabbed it softly starting more near my ears and then I softly swirled and blended it almost till the apples of my cheeks.

I was scared it could be too warm on my yellow undertones but it looks gorgeous. I am glad that I caved also because since the launch of Color Ready and Viva Glam they kicked BBR out of the online store.

 

[panda0410]

You sound similar to me

I am pale with yellow undertones as well and Brunette is beautifully complementing to my skintone!!! I use the 187 but wasnt overly happy with the result - though I LOVE the colour and finish - I think I need a smaller brush

We still have Brunette online... do I need 3?? hehehehe

The only backups of MSFs that I have are one of Petticoat and one of So Ceylon.

I am more curious about the new degrade MSFs than thinking about backups of the BBR ones.

Our skintone sounds similar yes!

 

[panda0410]

LOL!!! I want to see the new ones first

But I did definitely get a back-up Brunette

I love it way too much!!!

Yes Billy, it was way bright orangey for me

I also tried Lady Danger and it kinda gave me the same result

Someone accidentally throwing the bottle at you?

OMG!! Are you okay?

Jeanette, you have Firespot!! I am so jealous..

(here is a smiley that burning with overwhelming envy). My friend is visiting CCO this Sunday and she is going to look for Firespot.. Wishful thinking though..

CatsMeow - woo hoo about makeover!! You have to tell us all about it!
