Finally got around to taking two more pics. The close-ups of the lip colors I posted in the swatch thread.
Sonoran Rain (over MAC Boldly Bare lipliner, taken indoors w/o flash)
Nitro:Licious (over MAC Cherry lipliner, taken outside in natural light)
Yes, I was a wee bit heavy-handed but frankly with a color like Nitro: licious you need to either go hard or leave it alone.I just picked up backups of this and AMPL.
A note about my eye look, that is Hocus Pocus over Make Up Forever US aqua cream in Silver (#3, inner lid) and Anthracite (#1, outer lid and blended in the crease) and Make Up Forever Aqua liquid liner in Black multicolor. On a suggestion from Lianne, I'm going to try this over the #13 Aqua Cream (beige) to see if it comes out more grey than silver. Should be fun!
I finally used HP!
I definitely agree with everyone else who thought HP was the better shadow.
As beautiful as JW is, it just lacks a certain je ne sais quoi that HP has. I love it!
Wish I could have gotten a backup of it... but hopefully it will be repromoted.
Great job, MakeupGirl!
Why the need to compare the bloggers' creations against each other? HP is a grey, and JW is a green. 2 totally different colors so how can you honestly pit them against each other? I could see comparing Sonoran Rain to Nitro in order to make a decision about a purchase or comparing JW to other greens or HP to other greys, but trying to run a popularity contest about which blogger is the "best"? That seems sooooo unnecessarily rude & messy.
AMPL is now sold out.
I've been thinking about picking up either Nitro:licious or Sonoran Rain. But I dont know which one to go for!
I'm NW20/NC25.
