I'm pale-skinned, lightly freckled, with green eyes and blond hair. And I love to do fancy gussied-up eyes and full-face makeup on the weekends. However, day to day, I am a PhD student and I work in an office at a medical campus, and I'd feel very over-done to wear my fun looks during the...

My makeup was inspired heavily by the "Burton-esque Geisha doll" look that Miss Pumpkin did, in this thread: http://specktra.net/showthread.php?t=58251 THANKS MISS PUMPKIN!!! I was a zombie bride -- shredded skirt, fishnets, corset top, black lace veil, and dead flower bouquet! It was...

Here are new FOTDs from this week. I really like the CG Outlast Smoothwear lip stuff! It really stays for EVER! Hope you enjoy! And look number 2: Thanks for looking and any suggestions!!!

If you've seen my latest FOTDs, you can see I'm kind of stuck in a rut... I need some recommendations for day looks (but I'm a grad student so they can be pretty out-there, not totally "work" neutrals) -- any recs would be great. I don't have too many Mac items but I have loads of makeup and...

I got my Graphic Brown fluidline and finally used it properly today -- and I LOVE it!! It looks really nice and dark and soft at the same time and it stayed on my waterline ALL DAY LONG which I thought was IMPOSSIBLE!! I can't believe it. It's still mostly there even after I worked out! Crazy...

I tried the "lower-lid lined in contrasting color" trick today for the first time. I think it looks really interesting I will have to experiment with different looks though! I used Humid on the upper lid, Sumptuous Olive in the crease, a Milani beige to highlight, and Pink Freeze on the...

I got Shimpagne and I'm in LOVE. I also got a few new Milani shadows (including "Illusion" - a soft pink-gold duochrome) and I'm experimenting with being more "cool pink" than "warm peach" -- so a lighter pinker blush too. Do you guys think I'm cool or warm in coloring? I've never been quite...

Helloooo again Here's another fotd from me --- I took some advice and tried a bit darker lips and some more blush to try to overcome that pale pale paleness of mine (Though I like being pale!!) Antique gold and my new Ostentatious Fluidline (which I love!) on the eyes -- and Terre Doree...

Another day look. Antique gold on the eyes, and a new peach lippie from Lancome Plus nails! I hope you like!!

Here's my look for today -- soft and neutral with sunshine nails I live in Miami, so summer's not over for a LONG while yet!! Yay brights!

This look is directly from the wonderful tutorial "Keeping it soft and glowy!" by MissChievous! I am so grateful for her help. The thread is located here: http://specktra.net/showthread.php?t=51116 I only changed it a little, using a Melon-pigment dupe instead of Goldenaire, and my Milani...

Here's a quick fotd I did today... I used Sparkle Dusts in Champagne foiled on my lid, and HIP Cheeky (the red side) for the outer V. It looked really good when I did it but by the time I took the pictures 10 hours later, it was a bit faded and messy looking ... don't judge But it was super...

I got my order from Pure Luxe and I've NEVER loved a foundation look as much as this! I used the creme Eraser and BabyFace powder foundation, floofed on with a big soft brush. I am thrilled! So soft and velvet-looking. Then I used PL Vert and Milani Java Bean on my lids, and one too many...

This is yesterday's blue-lined look of the day -- and just for kicks, my nails yesterday (a really awesome shade by NYX called "Fire" -- light shimmery pink with bright blue iridescence in the light! SO COOL!) Hope you enjoyed! Constructive crit welcome as always

I got brave again today and did bright red lips. It is hard for me to pull this off, because I'm so pale, but this particular purpley-red is flattering (At least I think so! ) I got lots of compliments when I went out to lunch like this The eyes are neutral, using La Femme Sparkle dusts...
