This sounds like a beautiful look!  I'm not patient enough to use more than 1 piggie at a time... if I get ambitious to even do THAT!  LOL  Yes, I pretty much hoard more makeup then I use!  Thta's one of the reasons I came to play here!  I can use the pushhhhhhhh....

I like using PB as a highlighter.  It's also pretty with dark brown e/s---Embark & Handwritten, etc.  I think most of us on this thread recognize that we too have more makeup than we use!

This is why I love this thread! I would have never thought to use this as a highlighter! Will have to try this. Do you use it dry or do you wet a brush or a sponge?

 

This week was a busy week, so I didn't do any interesting looks worth noting. Tomorrow I'll have more time to do a look.

I KNOWWWWW!  This is an awesome idea Medgal07!  I use Vanilla pigment mixed with my body lotion all the time to give a nice subtle healthy shimmer to my skin, especially in the summer months.  So using PB as a highlight makes perfect sense!  Maybe even mix a little with my foundation to give a lit from within glow?!?!  Oh it's experimentation time for me!!

That's another great idea! I think I will mix a little of my Museum Bronze pigment with lotion for a nice sunkissed look come Spring!

 

I know, I can't wait to experiment when I get home! I'll try it mixed with foundation and see what happens! I think the pink in it will bring life to my sallow face haha

Have you ever tried Nars Illuminator in Orgasim?  I mix a tad of that with my foundation for that affect as well!  I think PB piggie may be a good substitute for that same look!  I am excited to try it out...

I've used it both ways, notably, it's more intense with a moistened brush.  This is a case in which a little dab really will do ya!   girlhaha.gif

I love that idea too!  I hate what winter does to my skin--what a great way to restore vibrancy (well maybe exfoliation and that).  I also like adding MAC's Lustre Drops to my foundation.

No problem! I was trying to be a silent supporter lol This is a FUN forum and people try to find negatives in everything. Those don't matter in life! ;) One of my 2013 resolutions is to be more positive, so when I see that I ask myself if people go out of their way to be negative.

 

I actually have the Nars Illuminator in Super Orgasm! I'm NC50 and it's so shiny so I can only mix a little into the foundation, but I love how it looks on my skin. I'm going to have to see which look I like the best between PB and SO. I'm new to pigments, so I love to hear all you can do with them eyelove.gif I've got a lot of experimenting to do lol

wavey.gifHi VampyCouture---thanks for the positive attitude and energy you're bringing.  Looking forward to having fun & sharing ideas.  I adore pigments. It's amazing to me, how differently they can look when applied with a brush moistened with Fix+ or your fluid of choice.  I've heard of folks using water or Visine.  I just find it convenient to use Fix +.  My favorite pigment is Aurora, which I believe was LE. It's described as a pinked taupe & it's just beautiful. It would look amazing on you.  This particular pigment is smoother than any that I've encountered.  If you ever see it at a CCO or via a MAC repromote, it's an absolute must have.

In addition to Aurora, some of my other favorite pigments are; Chocolate Brown, Starless Night, Naked, Tan & Nebula.  I have > 50---time to stop though because they last forever!

Sounds lovely!!!  I love this exchange because it reminds me of products that I have but haven't reached for in ages---like improper copper and a few other CCBs!  How do you like DDB Eye Brow Fluidline?  I recently ordered it in spite of being skeptical about it.  Heretofore, I've used clear brow set and Embark e/s.

thanks - i also don't reach for my ccb's very often, so i'm trying to make an effort and start grabbing all those items (ccb's, pigments etc...)that i never end up getting around to using.

 

i like using the ddb - it looks more natural i find than when i use brow powder, though it might be that the brow powder i was using is too dark? overall, you're probably getting a similar effect already with embark + clear brow set...just darker. i have been lemming the 208 brush as well. my current brush is good, but i think it's better for powders and serious shaping than gel for filling in.

 

anyway, been keeping to the pink/red theme...wore occ strumpet this morning, and switched to love goddess for the evening.

Just wanted to stop by the thread to say I wore Deeply Adored l/s out tonight and I am in love. I am SOO mad I do not have a BU to this :(

 

Can't wait to wear more reds and pinks now that we are officially in February.

Glammy girl - I like how the face part of the look sounds...very warm and glowy! I'm sorry I don't know inglot shadows by number, so I can't imagine the eye part of the look!

When you use smolder on the lower lash line, do you also set it with powder shadow? I love smolder, but often when I use it on the lower lash line, sometimes it works without problems, and other times I end up with smudges under my eye. Haven't quite mastered that product.

Vampy - hopefully mac will repromote it at some point soon, but if not there is probably a dupe that is somewhat equivalent? I can't recall anymore but I think many ladies skipped these lipsticks because they had others that were similar enough in their stash. There's probably something in the marilyn thread about that!

Hey Aradhana! Thanks for the kind words smiles.gif Oops sorry I didn't realize that about the Inglot shadows, I should've mentioned what colors they were but basically it was a gold shimmer shadow all over the lid with dark brown and black with gold shimmer in the outer v. I only use Smolder to line my water line and upper lash line and yes, I do set it with a black shadow, I haven't used it on my lower lash line though so I'm not sure how it smudges, I will definately try it and see how it holds up on me and let you know smiles.gif I recently got Engraved Power Point Pencil and have used that on my lower lash line without any smudging issues, if you can't get Smolder to work too well, I would suggest Engraved smiles.gif

Now I'm really excited to get my DDB gelcreme.  I like using products that are made for a specific purpose like this.  I also ordered the DDB brow liner but I think I'll probably reach for the

gelcreme more often.  I currently use the 208--I like the short bristles.  It's perfect for the brow.

 

I'm not familiar with OCC strumpet (pink/red) but I so enjoy Love Goddess.  You just gave me an idea----I usually wear the same lipstick all day but switching on that same day is a great way to get even more use out of my products.  Thank you for that aradhana bouquet.gif

Aww thanks Medgal, that's sweet smiles.gif I'm not much of a powder person, my skin is dry so if I use powder it's very sparingly on my t zone and I know Studio Fix Powder isn't exactly a setting powder lol but it works for me if I just use it lightly. I'm not exactly sure how to use it as a foundation, do you have it Medgal? If you do, how do you use it? Going to Mac soon so I'll pick up Prep and Prime Translucent Loose Powder then I'll use that to set my foundation, won't be too heavy smiles.gif Definately gonna pick up Studio Sculpt Foundation as well, if you say it's good I'm sure it is smiles.gif Thanks Medgal...

Thanks Aradhana! I will have to look at the dupes for this, because it is truly gorgeous!! I'm also crossing my fingers that Mac repromotes this in the future.

wavey.gifHi Glammy Girl!  I tried using Studio Fix Plus Foundation based on rave reviews by some Speckrettes.  It didn't work for me.  I applied it over a primer and it was horrid.  Not so much the look, but it itched & tingled my face so badly that I had to wash if off immediately.  That's when I moved onto Studio Sculpt, which I love.  I alternate between that and MAC's Face & Body & Laura Mercier's tinted moisturizer, which I hope to finish soon. I've used P & P Translucent Powder, MSF Natural, Blot Powder and Sheer Mystery Powder.  I really like the Sheer Mystery powder over Studio Sculpt, yet another recommendation by Mac-guy.  I think that's my favorite of all the foundation/powder combinations so far.  I recently ordered the NARS 'Light Reflecting' Setting powder which is being lauded on Spectra.  It comes in both loose and solid compact form.  I ordered the loose powder because I was concerned about transferring my foundation and other face products into a white powder compact----just thought it would look unpleasant with prolonged usage.  I'll let you know how I like it, so you might want to hold off getting the MAC P & P TLP.  So many products, so little time right?
