Ahhhh that makes sense. As it was already said, it just might be my winter product. I produce oil just looking at myself in the mirror. LOL


Her story is so motivating to me, I can't wait to dig into her products.

LMBO!!!!
Her story is amazing! It makes me appreciate her so much. I also love how she pours herself into educating people now and really supports a lot of upcoming artists!

I was supposed to go back to her booth at The Makeup Show but so little time. I needed a next day!

I didn't get to her booth until the end of the second day but I was so glad I did! Hers was next to the Cozzette brushes booth.... they have my favourite setting brush so far in life. I picked up some eye brushes from Cozzette though since they were only doing 30% off vs the IMATS 50% off lol.

My face gets oily in the AC at work I Can't Even lol




Enhancing skin ������
Sounds interesting!

I kinda gave up on looking for Indian bloggers close to my skin tone. Maybe I should try again.
I remember starting to wear makeup a couple years ago and buying MAC lipsticks that did not look the same as on the bloggers and realizing what was happening lol

PREACH re oily in AC!!!
Same here re looking at swatches online. It still happens that I'd see a bomb colour on someone and then get it and have it NOT move the earth for me. I'm thankful to forums like this because even the WOC bloggers are soo inconsistent with the ranges and products I'm interested in that it's not good enough for a frame of reference. I can imagine how you feel, especially if you have that olive undertone common with East Indian complexions which really skews things further.

LOL that's the only thing I could come up with, but your theory makes sense. LOL

I definitely use sequins on the face when I'm doing Carnival makeup! Loll

I think the sequins were a way to blind people from the packaging. I don't even want to open mine anymore.

Oh now I feel bad. *tears* Do it, you'll still love them. I keep looking at the gold pigment in the light.

Perhaps you should be that blogger. I actually started looking at Indian bloggers b/c I couldn't figure out what my skin undertones were and why things weren't working for me. I found a girl in Australia, she seemed darker than me, but we were wearing the same shades.

Shars said:
They are soooo beautiful Pretty!! Some of the shades have really unusual shifts and a little bit goes a long way. I'm still in that unpacked mode where everything is out the suitcases but haven't been put away so I'll try to get some swatches soon. The metal pigments, you can mix into lipstick, nail polish, eyeshadow, highlighter..... basically anything! I got the shades Love Story, Supreme, Pharoah and another colour with a pink shift. I'll have to check the exact 4 enlight illuminators I got but what I remember from them is that they aren't chunky in the least and spread really nicely even without a mixing medium. I much preferred the texture on these compared to the Melanie Mills ones I picked up at IMATS last year!

Ok, I'll be patiently waiting. *taps foot* I hadn't even heard of Melanie Mills.

Shars, you hit the nail on the head!
It was such a trip getting to understand about skin tone and lip pigmentation.
Frustrating and a bit pricey, too.
Everything was frosty pink on my lips.
Where were the lovely brown and peach nude tones they had with their lipsticks lol
And cystic acne is another pain in the butt.
And underrepresentation of WoC in campaigns smh.
Only one of my friends wears lots of makeup and she can make almost anything work. She gest most of what I give away.
I remember looking at my veins to understand what this warm and cool thing was about and having another friend look at me like a mad woman when I said the words "blue-based pink/red" :crazy:
Thank goodness for you all at Specktra indeed!!

Black|Up and Inglot gave codes that are valid until end of June or July I think. When I find my cards, I'll send you the codes!

Oooh I'm afraid to even open it now! I have to find where I saw what I wrote before. They weren't from Pat's camp but they addressed the packaging debate and it made sense at the time but what you're saying makes more sense. I didn't read/hear that it was Pro but that it was supposed to replicate what she's been using for years without focus on the packaging, but the product. I didn't expect this much lack of focus on it! She's been commenting on my IG, I should ask her! Lol

The worst!!!


I can't quote everyone b/c it would be ridiculous, so I'll just make my random comments.

It is on my bucket list to make it to Carnivale, somewhere. Don't let me be in shape like I want, I'll be dancing, shaking, and half ass naked too!

Shars I finally tried an eye brush by Cozette, I think I love them. You said they are your favorite setting brushes? OK... I'll have to look into them. Was it you who loved Senna brushes? Or have you just been talking about these?

I want to take an in depth class on undertones. I know it sounds crazy, but what you see online is not practical. WOC= warm, golden White= Cool Everyone else= olive. What about red, pink, blue, peach, yellow, orange and etc... LIke, you can be white, extremely pale, and warm. You can be dark and cool. And what is golden anyway?! Plus, you'd think only Mediterranean/Indian skin can be Olive... I'm starting to think differently.

Yayyy! I can't wait to start using my Cozzette eye brushes but I have to wash 'em first. I got . Yessss... my favourite setting brushes is the Cozzette S120 and after that the S126. The eye brushes I bought are the S175, D240 and the D225. Which one(s) do you have? No, sorry. I don't own any Senna brushes but I've heard good things!

You're so right re undertones. I've done makeup on darkskin girls who have very yellow undertones. Goes so contrary to the automatically perceived red undertone on all women of colour. I also know some fair and very fair skin girls who have yellow undertones as opposed to the falsely assumed pink undertone.

Lol no problem! They were generic as far as I remember. 40% off Black|up and 30% off Inglot if I remember correctly. I'll send to you when I find the cards.

Oooooooh yes ask her because I was SOOOOO VEXED about the packaging Girl! It made me sad because I actually like the highlighter and pigment (I hate the balm and brush), and I was looking at the packaging like REALLY? OKAY SO Y'ALL DIDN'T EVEN TRY. It's kind of a hot mess. It's soooooooo cheap. Not even quality plastic. And the fact that the brush has a sticker on it (not to mention that it's just flimsy and worthless) just sent me over the edge. I went off on my blog because she has too much capital and too much access to greatness to turn out this kind of packaging.

Oh please, lollll. I was such a geek that day at the Sephora display, she probably felt sorry for me, lolllll!

I want to take a class on it too and actually in one of the focus series I went to at The Makeup Show the instructor spoke about it and just the color wheel/theory in general and having that down.

I've been putting off opening it because I figured I should record it for my blog or IG or something and I haven't had a chance to do that. Now I'm putting it off because I'm scared to see the horror! I heard about the sticker! I almost feel like they shouldn't have even bothered with that. Just leave it blank. Can the balm be used on the lips? LMAO! I just ordered two Wet N Wild highlighter sticks from their new Summer collection, Pat's stick better not be comparable. LMAOOO! I'm laughing but I'm really scared.

Oh girl, that will be interesting to see!! I hope they are not similar.

We should start conducting our own makeup classes here. :) I learn a lot from you all. I also need more help with matching bronzer with undertones. I'm determined to get this down. I'll let you know what I find.

Here's a look at LUST 004; it's described as "six sinfully pigmented matte lipsticks" that will be available on 8.30.16 as either singles, in a kit (Flesh, Venom and Blood), or as a bundle (Hedonism) with everything included:
