You're pretty! I love the colors. I have a question though. Is the MAC one, is that already a tinted moisturizer? Or is that why you have the other product?

the mac select tint is the moisturizer. i just mix in the lorac luminizer because i like to have a nice glow, which the mac moisturizer doesn't have.

This tutorial was superb!!!!!


Thank you SO much for taking the time to do this....It was really well-photographed, and easy-to-follow.

These blues are simply beautiful, and I wish they'd pop on me as much as they do on you, but I have blue/green eyes....They look fantastic with your brown peepers, though
winks.gif
I'm still going to try this look (with a couple variations, since I don't have Flashtrack, Moon's Reflection or Silverbleu Shadestick).


Thanks so much for taking the time to do this....I REALLY hope to see more from you....I think a gold/copper/broze look would be great...(maybe you could do something like that someday

Oh wow. I'm not kidding, you look beautiful even without makeup and with makeup, totally gorgeous. And it doesn't look like an overloading of makeup either, which is great. I don't have that many blue eyeshadows with me, but I'll surely try it out myself.

Thanks!
