What are you wearing today?

[sambibabe]

I had friends coming over all day yesterday, so couldn't post here.. Still no Internet at home - Boo Telstra! They can go and get %&$##$!

I feel extra cool and very 'in crowd' today.. My black liner is winged and I used high-end cosmetic brand, such as MAC fluidline. I could have used 'higher end' liner, but it is just not my liner of choice. My brows are also groomed and filled with MAC brow pencil and Benefit Highbrow.

^^^Lol @ St. Germaine!

Nothing on my face as yet, Going to a roller derby tonight... and i really want to wear my Gladiola l/s out for the first time in public. But I dont want my eyes to be completely neutral so I dont know if i should do a neautral cut crease or a matte brown smokey kinda look. Im worried that the cut crease + lipstick will be too draggy and the smokey will be too much. :S

Mine wasnt really that nasty, he didnt bite me, it was just a scratch from his claw, and it healed really quickly thank god!

thanks hun! Galahs have a nasty bite - their beaks are very sharp. I know that one from personal experience!

Here's a bit of trivia for you all... Sulphur Crested Cockatoos have 1500psi of pressure from their beaks when they bite... but Black Cockatoos (such as a Red-Tailed Black Cockatoo) have 3000psi of pressure from their beaks...

I'm not wearing any makeup yet today, am writing my assignment (which was due on Friday - got an extension untill tomorrow) but am going out later so will probably chuck something neutral on then.

Robyn - for the bridesmaids, I reckon something neutral-ish with a light/sheer berry/raisin lipstick/gloss would go well! Satin Taupe would be a no-brainer for the crease, and then perhaps something like All that glitters for the lid... Phloof for highlight? Neutral, but cool toned to go with the silver?

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

Congrats!!!

I agree with Jen, I'd go for more cool toned neutral.
You could use Shroom as a highlight, Brule on lid, Satin Taupe on outer V, Embark on crease (give it a bit more of purple tinge) and perhaps a wee bit of Carbon for more definition?

I'd pick neutrals for the eyes and put more colour in the lips. I think neutral matte eyes are under-rated!

Thanks for the rec ladies, I was thinking All That Glitters would def be in there, I think it's the standard wedding colour and Satin Taupe would fit in really well too. The trial was meant to be tonight but the bride is giving me the run around a bit, I hope she doesn't cancel cos I went out and special bought a bunch of Kryolan Camouflage cremes and powder to cover her tattoo with (a first at that too eek!).

Ah well, the things that happen when you freelance

Holy crap Billy!! You are GORGEOUS!!!!! I really love that look on you!

Jeanette you didnt like the Lemon Chiffon? Was it just the colour? or the texture? or just not right for that look? I am still fence sitting on shadesticks, I hated them so much - they were very tuggy on me
