Today,

 

Woodwinked inner corner, and mulch in the outer corner crease, I used Soba to transition, and I forgot the highlight color. LOL

 

Love goddess and beet again, as a stain.

 

Legendary blush again.

 

-----I'm loving today's look.  I even got a compliment this morning.

 

Medgal, I like Legendary, if gives off a faint pink sheen.  It's really pretty and subtle. 

I love the neutrals and definitely need to try your combinations.  I don't know why I didn't get Legendary!  Oh yes, a bit of blood just perfused my brain and I now recall...I DIDN'T NEED IT.  It becomes so hard to resist all of the lovely products.  It sounds really pretty and I'm glad you're enjoying it!

<VLS>,

 

I haven't put a stitch of makeup on for the past 2 days.

 

If I get a chance I will slap on some powder and a lippie.

lol opps. LOL 


 I went to my cousins wedding yesterday and did the bronze pink look again. 

 

I cheated Friday night.  I wasn't going to share but had to.  I went to a friends house party for an hour (I SWEAR), and wore that fall colored top.  Well I couldn't resist and put on On the Hunt, and the other duo from style seeker.  oh and the red lipgloss.  

 

And you know what happened?  I looked a hot mess.  For some reason ( I think we all know why ;-)) the colors did not blend well together, and my foundation shade was off.  I was begining to think maybe I only know how to work with neutral shadows.   I'll try again, but in November. LOL

I used to avoid makeup when not going out or having company in, but after a 6-mth long hospitalization that I came frighteningly close to NOT surviving, I told myself that I could do these things (and then some) just for me.  And so I do.  I light candles even when I'm dining alone, I buy flowers for myself (although my husband is good at that too), and I wear Candy Yum Yum when no one else is around.  YOLO.  So Fiberluver, bust out that Candy Yum Yum, put it on, look in the mirror and repeat after me....."I can be beautiful all by myself because I am worthy."  If you like you can end that with a big ole MWAH!, the way your sister does on her blog!

I love that philosophy. When I wear makeup, I'm basically wearing it for me since I work from home.

PLOTD for Monday Oct 29, 2012 (Salute to Pigment)  

MAC except where otherwise specified

 

I had a ton of fun creating today's look.

Qualifier:  I like to laugh and don't take myself too seriously.  girlhaha.gif

I decided to put on lashes today...some random pair that I picked up at RiteAid but never got around to wearing.  Sooooo- the overall makeup look is surprisingly nice (talk about all dressed up w/no place to go--it's stormy) but the lashes..oh the lashes.  Let me put it this way....low flying aircraft would mistake them for landing strips.  Every time I look in the mirror I laugh hysterically.  They're just not me and/or I'm not accustomed to them.  See what happens when you're forced to stay in due to inclement weather.  It's lethal!   

girlhaha.gif

 

EYES: 
Groundwork PP to lids
Spicy Smoke pigment (Dark strawberry) to lids ...sheered out...little goes a long way
Roasted Chestnut (1st time using it...looks like carbon w/shimmer) to crease, blended upward, above crease
Blanc Type e/s to brows 
Dipdown fluidline to line upper lids
Roasted Chestnut Pigment to lower lash line
 
FACE:
Estee Lauder Illuminating face primer
Face & Body (applied w/favorite 187 SH brush)
P & P Light Boost Highlighter in triangle below eyes, set w/Ben Nye Powder, Banana  (applied with 116 Brush)
Coffee Walnut to contour (applied with 163 Brush), Shadowy Sculpting powder over Richly Honed (109 brush)
Ring of Saturn Mineralize blush ( (applied with 128 Brush)
Light Year MSF to high-points  (applied with 130 Brush)
Play It Proper Beauty Powder  (applied with 129 Brush) to finish the look
Fix+ to set
 
LIPS:
Cork lip pencil to line
Royal Azalea lipstick as stain
 
NAILS:

Essie's KnockOut Pout

the eyeshadows didn't blend right, and the foundation was too light, but I wear it everyday.  ~shrugs~ I don't know what happened.  Then I tried to spray some mineralize fix plus spray on it and the foundation started to separate.

today I was reallly simple.  black eyeliner, and legendary blush.  I forgot to throw a pink lippie in my bag, and wore ready to roam very faintly so it would look pink.  I think I'm going to do candy yum yum tomorrow.  It looks great on press to blend.

Yikes. ..I have 'OFF' days like that with makeup when I'm rushed and I hate that. Now, Prettypackages, if you sprayed enough Mineralized Charge Water on your face to the extent that your foundation separated, you must have been trying to drown yourself. That's a pretty extreme way of getting out of going to a wedding. icon_eek.gif

I would so love to wear just eyeliner but black liner, especially in my waterline makes my eyes look small & almost recessed into my head. I love the look on others though. I'm sure you looked lovely.

Off topic: I'm nervous listening to the wind whip around our house. It's really dark & you can't tell what's been blown over etc, and we've been without power for nearly 5 hours now. I'll be glad when this is over!

LOL,  I do tend to be a little heavy handed. That was at a house party though.  The wedding makeup turned out fine. 

 


I was rushing and forgot to pack Candy Yum Yum and now I have no lippies in my bag.  Another simple day for me.  Black eyeliner, mascara, smashbox bb cream.  that's it.  But I'm leaving early today.  I'm gonna miss this challenge.  I was just getting into it. LOL

Medgal,

 

Thanks!

 

Glad you survived being in hospital. Being sick is no joke!

 

Anyway, I know this is crazy but I don't want to wear CYY because I might fall head over heels with it, use it everyday and then not have a b/up or it not be re-promoted again.

 

Just like my beloved Rizzo.

 

MAC hasn't repromoted that one in about FOREVER!!!

Yay....so glad you got Magenta!
This is just a quickie because we are still w/o power. It's been over 24 hrs. We're hold up in the den nice & toasty but the rest of the house is freezing. Last night I washed my makeup brushes by candlelight. I'll post today's minimalist PLOTD tomorrow just to conserve power on my iPad.
I'm hoping our power will be restored soon.

Hope everyone is safe & sound!

P.S. I'm bored so what o you think I've been doing? Yes, that's right....makeup shopping.

LOL @ makeup shopping.  I'm in desperate need of new boots/shoes/clothes.  That's what I've been doing lately.  (who am I kidding, I just spent some money at Sephora).

 

OK, I like todays look.

 

eyes,

deeply dashing on the lid

beaming in the crease

espresso in the corner and darkened the crease

saddle for the transistion.

 

---after Medgal said, I see that I am the neutral shadow girl.  I need to step out. 

Lips

Candy Yum Yum... YES!  I wore it as a stain and outlined my lips with NYX Pinky liner and Toast Liner (my cork replacement).

 

Blush- Legendary

liner-local wares

 

 

----I like it.  I might have to take a pic of this look. LOL

Yeeeaaaahhhhh!!!! I made it! 31 whole days of nothing but pink lips. Whew! It was great but I'm ready for some red. Yesterdays lip was NARS Schiap with MACs More to Love liner and today's lip is MACs Pink Pigeon with Embrace Me liner. Check out my blog www.presstoblend.com for my funny Halloween homage to Iris Apfe. My look is incomplete because a "good" friend was supposed to bring me all of the bracelets but left them home!!!
