Theme Makeup with a Purpose

[Medgal07]

hi girls. i have been absent because i havent been wearing makeup lately. so no new looks. i did get a pixie cut like a mix of anne hathaway and michelle williams. i luv those two. and just wanted a change. im always home so i dont mind experimenting haircuts. now i know what looks good on me. i totally love how easy this hair cut is. showering feels weird but way faster. and then it just dries quickly, and goes into pixie shape by itself. no hair drier or products. or even hair brushes. just a little hair comb. as you can tell im really lazy with my hair. 

That's hysterical! I'll bet you look adorable in your new hair cut. I'm so jealous. I have a huge head & my grandmother's big round face. I would look like a pumpkin w/ moss from the pumpkin patch on my head! ENJOY. Just because you haven't worn makeup lately does not let you off the hook. You can still share some tips for holiday looks that you wore in the past or plan to wear this month. :eyelove:

ohh thanks darling. dont be afraid of cutting your hair. its just hair, like makeup. even cutting your tips makes you feel better. im actually in a no-buy now, cause i have to use my money for driving lessons. so im going to skip the nail polish thread and come here more often. hahaha

Yay. Glad you'll be in our midst ! I need to be on a nail polish no buy too. I now have to replace my MAC BookPro. It's dead....caput! When I went to the Apple store on Saturday they said, "this computer is vintage, and....." I interrupted and said, " VINTAGE,". MY HANDBAG IS VINTAGE! The computer is only about 5 years old, and I know by technology standards that's ancient, but it shouldn't be dead! I'm just bummed about it. So, I need to get another computer. Until then, my iPad & iPhone will just have to do. I've had short hair before and it just doesn't look good on me...doesn't suit my ample head & face. :shock:

Glad you're joining us.

Thanks!

Yes Earthshine became my go to this year. It's natural enough but still some color.

I'm looking forward to December's theme! I love, love, red lips so I go crazy in December. Has anyone tried Hourglass's Icon extreme shine lipgloss?

Oh my, I own a good 5 red lips and this is my most "grown and sexy" one by far.

Kimibos, both looks sound amazing, and I love the products that you used. I'll have to look into LCs RVV. I've been sidelined here a bit. I recently had surgery and I'm recovering slowly. I have some catching up to do! I purchased the Yachiyo brush and was surprised by how small it is. However, I really like it because it's super easy to handle. I find myself reaching for it more often than my MAC #s 138 & 168.

I have been frequenting the nail polish thread here on Specktra. Upon learning about and seeking out swatches of Deborah Lippmann's nail polish, 'Cleopatra in New York', I happened upon a makeup look that was inspired by this nail polish. In addition to going nicely with CINY nail polish (Black w/Gold glitter), I think the makeup look can be amended to create several holiday looks. Upon cartoonchic's urging, I'm sharing the link to this look with all of you. I found the nail polish at beauty.com. I ordered it on Sunday and the polish arrived today, Tuesday 12/4...standard shipping, free. I hope you enjoy this look and perhaps wear it as is or tweak it to your liking.

I would probably replace the blue with a green since I paired Cleopatra in New York with NARS Zulu polish, a dark green. But the blue is based off of Liz Taylor's Cleopatra, so it probably shouldn't be changed. What I look most is that the makeup is inspired by the polish.

And I hope you get well soon!
