Wave at me ...I live about 4 blocks from the Dallas Pro store ...it's painful!

 

[lovemetodeath]

1. wear my make up more often
2. actually go some place where it's worth wearing make up (the school playground is hardly high society)
3.visit a pro store either in london or in orlando when we go over in oct.
4.have a make over
5. be more daring with lip colour and cheeks, i tend to concentrate on eyes then quickly slap the rest on, which means i need to uy more lip and cheek products
6.not get sucked into the LE collections, i don't have enough money to do it and still need lots of regulars
7. increase my brush collection

 

[ceci]

1. I want to learn how to create a bronze-y face to look healthier
2. No more impulse buy. Only buy what i will really use, (which means no more bright colours for me

)
3. I want to learn how to apply false lashes too!! and dare to wear them out

4. I want to wear eye makeup to school too. All my classmates don't wear makeup.. So i never dare to wear anything obvious.. only apply a tinted moisturizer and blush
5. And buy some reflects glitters

that will be so fun!!

I think that's all i can think of now..

 

[ohsoshy]

-Create more eye combinations for my non-Mac e/s
-Working on blending
-No more impulse buying!

Resolutions 2009

1 - Stick to a monthly beauty budget - be it MAC or Sephora or CCO's or Nordstrom or even RiteAid (I spent ALOT of money in 2008 on products, brushes, etc - whoa)
2 - Nail down my skin care routine/products that work, invest in facials - they make the makeup look better!!
3 - Mix up the morning routine - I'm going to stop doing my eyes first and see how it changes my choices... the new order being: foundation, concealer, brows, blush, lips, then eyes last. I've done it a couple times and I love how deciding what blush I want to wear first makes everything else feel new.
4 - Put on my lipstick before I leave the bathroom and commit to reapply throughout the day. (my mom would always do a full face minus her lips then put her lipstick on in the car, etc... I noticed that I have taken that on and that I think I'll do my lips later but I don't or I'm not consistent.) I wish pro-longwear wasn't so drying - perhaps I'll try to experiment with it!
5 - Perfect the art of blending... be it blush, shadow or foundation - buff that poop in!
6 - Learn how to get a quick drop-dead-gorgeous winged liner for my eye shape
7 - Stop going to mac counters multiple times a week - seriously calm down.
8 - If I don't love it - sell it, swap it, let someone else enjoy it!
9 - Organize my stash - notice what I have tons of - to avoid dupes, display things in my own drawers so that it feels like I'm shopping!
10- Rock the perm collection - there's good stuff in there.
11 - Smile at myself more as I'm getting ready!

 

[LatinaRose]

- not get sucked into new collections because they are OMG NEW!
- buy less MAC, more MUFE and Nars
- find suitable storage for all my MAC and other makeup
- make an effort to actually use the products I have

 

[Paramnesia]

1. Master those falsies
2. Purchase more brushes
3. Purchase more pro pan e/s's
4. Do something with my brows
5. Visit the pro store again and actually write a list of the stuff I want
6. This is no MAC related but get some highlights in my hair, I'm so bored with it and my bro just got pink in his hair so now I feel motivated lol.

 

[shiya.reed]

1. I want to buy more pigments.
2. I want to learn even more make up techniques.
3. Create a better budget, so I dont lose my mind at MAC.
4. Wear more colors, even if I'm just going to work. I'll just be extra fabulous that day

 

[Tudor Rose]

1.Learn how to do my crease properly
2. Set a budget and stick to it
3. Learn how to contour my cheeks
4. Stick to my skincare regimen
5. Stop getting caught up in the LE's

 

[HotPinkHeels]

1. Invest in more brushes (like a backup #217 and a full size #187!)
2. Buy and wear falsies more often, take better care of said falsies
3. Re-organise my pro-palettes, and start 1 more 15 pan.
4. Buy Fix+!! Stop going into Mac to buy and getting distracted by pretty, shiny colours!
5. Look into getting more permanent line colours - Patina, Cork, Mulch etc

 

[hello_kitty]

1. Actually wear the makeup I own
2. Use all the eyeshadows I have, instead of just having them sitting pretty in pallets.
3. Find a foundation I can stand to wear everyday
4. Depot the 8 eyeshadows I have sitting around so I can go get free stuff

5. Take pictures of all my makeup, maybe start a database

I think that's all...

 

[BunnyBunnyBunny]

Not buy unless I'm gonna use it often, or it's unique enough to justify it.
Not buy lip or cheek products unless it's something I really REALLY love.

 

[Miss QQ]

1. Not to buy anything new that is already similar to what I have.
2. Enjoy the new things that I buy.

 

[Face2Mac]

1. Stop thinking neutral e/s are boring

2. Get up early and apply my makeup before I get to work (not at job), so I can use non-mac colors because they don't fit in 4-pan pallette.

3. Find my HG nude pink lips ( found the nude one)

4. Stop gettting mad at people when they comment on my addiction. For example, my mom recently said at the x-mas table, "you have a small fortune in makeup", I wanted to say, "you have spent a small fortune in lottery and the casino, so who are you to talk" (But I didn't, the thought ran across my mind though).

5. Find a tinted moisturizer/foundation for Summer 2009

6. Do more face charts that MAC puts out or magazine/celebrity pics that I find in mags.

7. Use more than 3-4 eye colors to do looks, so I can use the stuff I have to buy more without feeling guilty or stupid for having 2-3 dupes of stuff.

 

[Rene]

1. Get up in time to wear makeup everyday.
2. Learn how to put on individual eyelashes
3. Use bolder lip colors. I always stick to the neutral.

 

[Marjolaine]

1. Stoping buying backups!
2. Depot MAC blushes asap
3. Get up earlier to both wear make up and do my hair.
4. Use what I already have and don't buy dupeable LE colors just because they are new.
5. Experiment new lipstick + lipgloss combinations

I guess that's all, I wish you all good lucks with yours

 

[PrincessZmunda]

Wow I am a newbie and can't believe it has taken me this long to find Spektra!! Jeesh...but boy does it make me excited about 2009
(yes I am a bit corny...lol)

1. I want to take this craft/obsession with makeup more seriously and focus on technique, technique, technique!

2. I want to learn how to press pigments and buy more of them.

3. I also want to learn to set a monthly makeup budget, stick to it, and use it to expand my collection not buy repeats.

4. I want to do what I need to do to get my pro card!

5. I want to start building up my portfolio and see if I really have what it takes to take this thing to the next level. So pictures, freebies, classes....fotd's for y'all to critique!

6. I would like to do my face every morning, and appreciate feeling fabulous for noone else but myself!

This year its all about going hard or going home!!!!
