Looks good to me

I love how Posh Tone, a complete and utter nude, looks so warm and flattering. I hope the other colors are as flattering on warm skin tones.

 

[Prettypackages]

I kinda like that...

For now, i'm interested in seeing:

Glamour Era - Mid-tone warm brown frost
Luxe Naturale - Light beige cream
Posh Tone - Soft warm nude cream
Dreaminess - Soft cool pink cream
Divine Choice - Mid-tone cool pink cream


I've almost used up two of my basic "everyday" lipsticks, L'Oreal Colour Riche Gilded Pink, a medium-light warm pink with gold shimmer, and Too Faced Centerfold, a medium-light slightly beige cool pink creme. I'm so sorry TF has discontinued their line Lip of Luxury lipsticks - they've replaced them with some other lip products, but few of the same colors.

I don't have OCD, but when i see lipsticks twisted way up in the displays, i always stop and twist them down.

I wouldn't say people are so much stupid - well, some are but they can't help that - we don't have much control over our level of actual intelligence. Rather i'd say too many are thoughtless and inconsiderate - that's something they could do something about, if they'd bother. And common sense, yeah, some people are definitely lacking in that - clearly it isn't all that common Like people who throw trash out of their cars as they are driving around.

Lol, too many years in retail has made me too neat of a customer. If I see a display out of order while I'm checking it out, I'll make sure to reorganize it back to how it's supposed to look.

Yup! If i hold up a shirt to look at it, i fold it when i put it back. And not just normal fold, RETAIL fold!!!

 

[Genn]

I retail fold too. I wonder if these l/s will be like the Too Faced La Creme l/s. I love those.

Me too! They had one of my Holy Grail reds! (Note- I think I have about ten HG reds, but I still loved it!!) Despite my initial hesitance about the price, I have to admit I'm getting more curious to see what this formula is like. I'm a lipstick sucker...

 

[Misato-san]

I'm with you about Too Faced... I loved their Lips of Luxury line and the new one doesn't compare at all (they all have the same finish and colours are a little.. blah... I love Too Faced but... D: )

Let's see... I can be interested into:

Europe/ South Africa

i really am debating on getting some of the too faced la creme since I heard great reviews but might wait to check these out since they will be close the the price point and more product.

Ohhh someone please tell me how to do my eyeshadow like the Asian Model's. Only catch, I have the hooded eye/fold thing.

Ohhh someone please tell me how to do my eyeshadow like the Asian Model's. Only catch, I have the hooded eye/fold thing.

I do too - that sort of slightly overhanging brow bone skin, right?

It's doable, if you don't try too hard for the whole crease line to be visible at all times. For us, we have to focus on the area at the outer edge of the eye to show off the effect. What works best for me is to take a sharp eye pencil in a softer color than what I want the crease line to be and carefully draw the line in so that it's just barely up over that little fold, but once i get to the outer edge where the fold is gone and the bone takes over, I make sure to get a really nice curve going under then up and out, along and past the outer curved edge of the bone.

Then I take liquid liner and line my upper lash line and extend that line just right, spaced under the brow crease line I've already made. You could do liner first and then the crease, but I find crease first is more even and foolproof for me. I like to use liquid liner for the control and the contrast, but you could use gel liner for a softer look.

Finally, I take powder shadow in the final color I want that crease line using a brush that gives me plenty of control (it could be a pencil brush or the edge of a stiff flat brush) and go over the eye pencil line, making sure to blend the shadow in with the pencil. Finish by carefully patting a lighter color on the lid and carefully extending it so that it perfectly fits on the outer edge between the crease and lid lines.

The only other thing I think helps with this look when you have hooded lids is to use a pretty soft color for that crease line. Black and very dark greys are a bit harsh and accentuate the hooding. Taupe and soft browns, grey, blues, terra cotta, that sort of thing looks good. The lid color should be lighter, but again, don't do a super harsh contrast between dark and light and it will work better. The All Woman quad has got great colors to do this look.

Just a last note: if you like this look but are OK with a softer, less precision looking line, that eye contour brush from the Face & Body collection is fantastic for doing a soft crease line winged up under the brow bone in one step.
