try using a msf as a shadow. they are very subtle and almost like you are not wearing anything. that is what i have done today in fact! by candlelight on lid, cheeky bronze in crease and perfect topping to highlight. and then i am using a ud 24/7 liner... can't think of the name but it's a bright blue/green

I sometimes do that, too! I use Warm Blend as eye shadows. It has 3 colors and it looks so natural!
Applying paint pot helps too to make it stays longer and make the colors show up nicely.

Did I mention that I bought Stylesetter lipstain marker a couple of days ago? I haven't tried it yet, but I hope it works for me! *fingers crossed*

What GPS is good to get? Most of them looked very dark (although I admit they were drool worthy), and I don't really put on dark eye makeup all that often. I haven't even used my black GPS from the Style Black collection!

Say WHAT!!!! There is a Philosophy Cherry Cola gloss?!?!?!?!?! I'm in LOVE with the Cherry Cola Shower Gel. I would LOVE to get my hands on a lip product that smells like that!

Though, IMO it's not very creamy, it sets VERY quickly, there's very little time to smudge it. In terms of wear and performance, are they similar/comparable to the GPS? (I'm sure MAC's shade selections is prettier, but I'm not too concerned about the colors right now.)

To me they are down right identical even in wear. I don't have any particular issues with the HIP items when it comes down to creaminess and set time. Maybe Florida humidity is a factor?

Thanks! I don't feel quite as bad about skipping this collection then...

i skipped all the lipstains knowing they wont do jack for my pigmented lips.

all the GPS are pretty dark, so if you say that you don't do dark makeup all that much, they would be a skip for you! if any, I'd say line your eyes with dirty for daytime with mascara and a highlight on the inner eye. i think thats most daytime wearable. you could smudge a shadow on top to lighten it up as well!

what about the eyeliners? industrial and designer purple are bright and fun!

 

[dreamer246]

^^ I'll keep a lookout for Dirty then! Thanks!

I don't really use eyeliner, they don't show up on my hidden eyelids!

 

[TeresitaMC]

I went downtown today and picked up Dirty GPS!

I am so happy! I love it so much I wish I could get 2 of them

Like Dilligaf said, L'oreal Hip seems like a good product, too. I actually tested one out today and it became budgeproof after it dried! It was a L'Oreal Hip Cream Shadow Paint that comes with a brush and is in the same tube as MAC paints.

i'd probs skip the gps winnie, if you don't use the one you have there is no need for another.

Actually, Babylard, the lipstains are fantastic on pigmented lips. My lips, especially my top one, is very dark and they showed up amazingly well on me. The color really saturates your lips. I returned mine just because I knew I wouldn't reach for them much.

I love a colorful eye but work in a medical setting so it isn't always practical. Today I wore Bare Canvas paint on lid, Blacktrack lining upper lid and Undercurrent lining the lower lid. It was so simple and so pretty. I have NEVER backed up a pencil but I am so glad I did with Undercurrent. I can see this one getting alot of use through the spring and summer.
