I'm happy with how this face turned out! This is one of my favourite e/s layering combinations, and I like how the whole thing turned out. FACE Strobe Liquid EM MMU in Fair MSF Natural (light) Alpha Girl BP -- 129 patted lightly on lower 1/2 of apples of cheeks EYES UDPP Copperplate e/s -- all...

I swapped for a barely-used Buttery kohl on MUA. After using it almost every day for three weeks, I realised it was DC. anybody know of any good replacements? For those who haven't seen it, it's a very subtle pale cream-gold.

Today's FOTD is pretty simple and neutral, which is rare for me. It's a bit boring, to be honest, but that's all right -- I'll just have to wear exciting perfume. FACE Strobe Liquid EM MMU MSF Natural (Light) Beauty Powder Blush in Shy Beauty EYES Perky paint pot Lithograph fluidline (just the...

Today I was fooling around with makeup since The Boy and I are going to a vampire-themed event (!) in a few months, and I want to look swell. Even though the lip combo wasn't day-appropriate, I liked it so much that I blotted it down to a much softer red and wore it out nontheless. The vampy lip...

March has seen me drop a lot of cash on MAC but I got some neat stuff out of it I am waiting for Naughty Nauticals with bated breath, but until then I have all these to keep me company: HEATHERETTE Lollipop Loving lipstick Fleshpot lipstick (the MA showed me this neat thing where you line the...

Today I decided to use some of the colours that don't get much love. It turned out... well, fine, I suppose, nothing super-awesome. After a three-day spate of mediocre makeup, Fine is an improvement! FACE Strobe Liquid Everyday Minerals MMU Alpha Girl BP (187; dusted high on the cheekbones and...

Testing out a sample I got of Blacktrack fluidline. I really like the texture but am probably going for Blitz n Glitz instead -- something just a little less harsh. FACE Strobe Liquid Everyday Minerals MMU Pretty Baby beauty powder MSF Natural (Light) EYES UDPP Blacktrack fluidline (upper and...

I'm pretty happy with the way this eye makeup turned out. I know blue-eyed girls aren't supposed to wear blue eyeshadow, but I can't help it... I have an addiction ((shrug)). Also, a plug for Strobe Liquid -- it's the best face primer ever. Imparts a gentle sheen to the skin, which helps keep my...

Today is another neutral/light makeup look -- almost natural, even. Well, I'll go back to my usual funky colours tomorrow FACE Strobe Liquid (still loving this stuff. I need a bottle.) Everyday Minerals foundation Pretty Baby beauty powder (129; all over outer edges of face, lightly) MSF...

I ran down to MAC the other day to pick up a CP, and got a chance to check out the new BP blushes. I grabbed Joyous on the spot, and a Perky paint pot on a whim. Then I got home and checked out the new blushes online... and ended up buying another BPB and a slimshine. Total haul: Perky paint...

I'm very happy with the Strobe Liquid. It's much more subtle than the Strobe Cream, true -- but it also doesn't make my face red, bumpy and scaly like Strobe Cream did It gives a nice gleam to the face when worn under foundation, and I can see it being gorgeous on top of liquid/cream...

Today's eye was a little more, uhm, dramatic than I had initially intended. Oh well, it looked good nonetheless -- just a little much for daywear. Fortunately I have never been shy about this sort of thing. FACE Everyday Minerals in Fair (lumiere Kabuki brush) MSF Natural in Light (129 brush)...

I'll post yesterday's FOTD later. I'm really pleased with how this face came out -- very soft-looking, althouhg I'll have to work on keeping colours bright while maintaining that softness. FACE Everyday Minerals in Fair (with my new Lumiere brushes... I love this stuff!) MSF Natural in Light...
