You're gorgeous in pink.  Oncologic care & support is an important role.  It seems you had a major take-a-way.  Live & appreciate life to the fullest...and wear PINK.  Thanks for supporting the cause!     clapping.gif

Sweet CartoonChic.  I forgot about Venus l/s.  A sure sign that too many products reside in my stash! I just made my husband participate in a charitable way by having him purchase the Bobbi Brown Pink Peony  Illuminating Bronzing Powder for me.  $10 of the proceeds go to The Breast Cancer Research Foundation® and shipping is free for this item.

Ok - Here we go!

 

Yesterday I rocked a neutral eye but pink lips and cheeks.

 

My neutral eye - this will stay the same since I will be wearing either a neutral brown eye or a pink themed one:

 

Eye:  (All MAC)

 

Charcoal Brown - brow

Clear brow set

Groundwork p/p - base

Soft Brown - lid

Saddle - crease

Brown Down - darken crease

Kid - highlight

Blacktrack - liner

Beauty Marked - under eye liner

 

Lip and Cheek: (All MAC)

 

Magenta l/l

Saint Germain l/s

VG Gaga I l/g - (dot in center)

Dame blush

Smooth Merge msf

 

I also wore my beloved pink Izod cardigan and BC Awareness pin.

 

Today I have on the same BC Awareness pin, a pink scarf I knitted and same neutral eye as yesterday + All That Glitters on lid over the Soft Brown and an Estee Lauder pinkish pearl cream shadow as a base.

 

Lip and Cheek: (All MAC)

 

Beet l/l

Quick Sizzle l/s

VG Gaga I l/g - just a dot - middle of lip

Full Fuchsia blush

Smooth Merge msf

 

I put away all of my other (volumious) lipsticks and glosses so I could focus on pink looks. I've never put things in rotation like this before so the same products are going to get a lot of love. I haven't worn Quick Sizzle in ages and I love it! I can't wait to wear Pink Pigeon later this week!

CartoonChic, Fiberluver and Kimibos,

Thanks for continuing your show of support!  CartoonChic, wearing a pink lip is a huge commitment, especially when we've just purchased every new shade in the MM collection, and several lippies from the prior collections.  So, "Trend" well taken!  So sorry you're "feeling blah".  BTW, I love your dry sense of humor!

 

I wasn't very creative today, October 5, but I came up with this:

 

All MAC
EYES:
Aurora Pigment
Complete wash of Girly from crease to brow
Trax to Crease and slightly above
Trax to lower lid
Blacktrack to line upper lid
Smolder to waterline & smudged into lower lid
 
FACE:
Supernova blush
Play It proper highlight
Crystal Pink highlight
Bobbi Brown Pink Peony lightly over entire face
Cork lip pencil
Please Me lipstick
 
Nails:
Essie's I Am Strong

Lol, thanks. My sense of humor is all over the place. I just like to laugh. That look seems very creative and pretty to me. I automatically classify anything using pigments as advanced. I won't go near them even though they're so pretty to look at.

I will hold firm, however!

Oh you MUST try pigments.  They're really fun.  I used to feel the same way.  After I took the plunge and played with them a bit...well there's just no turning back.  I love them.  Using Fix+ really helps to control & apply them.  Some of my favorites are Aurora, Nebula & Chocolate Brown.  Honestly, get just one and play around with it.  If you can drive you can master pigments!  I'm cheering you on!

Oh I know Fiberluver.  I'm looking at all of the new pretty lipsticks that I've gotten over the past two months or so and I'm like...WHAT were you thinking?  I'm itching to wear my burgundies and rich reds and oranges.  That said, I'm going to start working some other colors into my pink looks. Pink will just be the cornerstone in the look.

I don't know how I missed this thread, but I am definitely in. My Mother is a survivor. 

 

I am going to get a pink mani/pedi this weekend.  I might see if they can do the ribbon on one of my nails.

Hello & welcome to Partners in Pink vv2197!!

Congratulations on being a survivor.  And YES...JESUS IS GOOD. You, me and all who have survived are indeed miracles!  Wearing pink makeup/nail polish/clothing/the breast cancer ribbon is a show of solidarity in support of EVERYONE touched by cancer.  It effects family and friends who watch their loved one suffer.  I find the ladies here to be selfless, beautiful and inspiring.  I adore pink but it's a challenge to wear it everyday.  I admire their resolve and perseverance.  Thanks again for joining our project!!!!
