[sambibabe]

Thought I would start a fun thread. I want to know what everyone is wearing (cosmetics, of course) today! Love to read about some cool colour combinations - so please share

! I will start first~

Eyes:
Meramint pigment (Facefront Cosmetics)
Emerald Green pigment
Provence pigment for the highlight
Wolf Pearlglide eyeliner
Zoom lash mascara

Cheeks:
Petticoat, Soft & Gentle and Orgasm

Lips:
Crazee l/s and Miss Dynamite Dazzleglass - pretty!!

 

[spectrolite]

Lol, I just posted my look in the "Shop Your Stash Challenge" thread but I'll copy and paste it here as well

Your lip combo sounds pretty btw. I might try that one out this week. I have to get Crazee to work for me somehow...:/

Eyes:
Groundwork p/p base
Mauvement pigment all over lid (Rushmetal, Overrich)

Ooohh.. I would never thought of having Groundwork and Mauvement together! What colour do you get out of mixing two?

I refused to take Miss Dynamite out of home, so I touched up with Pink Grapefruit instead (looked the same). I am a bit annoyed with Crazee though.. It looks just like Cremesheen Crosswires with more pearls? Grr

I just received a bunch of Overrich pigments. I might try this look tomorrow! Sounds really pretty.

Today, I have gone for the strong lips & neutral eyes look:

Zoom Lash

Lips:

It feels weird not doing anything on the crease and I am THIS close of dabbing something

Well I have dark skin (NW45) and Groundwork is basically the same as my lid colour so the colour showed up exactly like it did in the jar - a silvery, browny colour. It's a really pretty colour and I've neglected it for a long time. Omg on me I think Crazee looks crazy. It's really super frosty/pearly and reminds me of orange sherbert! I'm determined to make it work though since I have it

Today I wore a purpley look. I was really pleased with it! >_<

Eyes:
Too Faced Shadow Insurance
Nice Vice p/pOutspoken Mineralized Duo - Purple side wet on the lids, and the burgundy colour in the crease with Entremauve + a bit of Carbon
Wish pigment (Heavenly Natural Beauty) - Highlight
Blacktrack Fluidline
Max Factor Masterpiece Max Mascara - love this!
Some glitter in the outer corners - It's a new roller glitter thingy from The Body Shop. Sooo pretty!

Cheeks/Face:
Mineralize SPF15 Foundation
Trace Gold - Highlight
Crushed Bougainvillea CCB
Ablaze blush
Northern Light MSF

Lips:
So Scarlett Lipstick in the morning w/Velvetela cremestick liner
Crushed Bougainvillea in the arvo - couldn't be bothered reapplying the lippie lol...

I know! I am like that too, especially the darker colour one that requires brush application grrrr.. Hmm.. I didn't buy Crushed Bougainvillea - did I miss out? Mauvement just looks like dirty plum on me.. Maybe I will have a go again.. You guys have such complicated eye makeups lol!

What is Quick Frost like?

 

[spectrolite]

^^Crushed Bougainvillea is AMAZING. Initially I turned my nose up at the Ungaro collection and thought it sucked but after seeing the CCB in person and trying it out I was sold. It is so versatile too - It looks really pretty on lips on it's own or with gloss and on cheeks it gives you a really pretty rosy glow. I just pat it on to the apples of my cheeks and blend outwards with my fingers and then buff it out softly with my Too Faced kabuki >_< (which is also amazing btw).

If you suit berry tones then it might work for you. I love it so much I was thinking of getting a backup but honestly I think it will last me a while. Definately try it out next time you visit a counter.

And LOL, thanks to Specktra I have complicated eye makeup. When I started out I was a 1 colour girl, then I slowly went up to 2 colours, then 3..4..sometimes 5+

I agree! I love playing with pigments/mineralised eye shadows, I haven't opened my palettes for awhile! I will have to look at Quick Frost.. It sounds like MUFE Star Powder I have? It looks like white powder, but iridescent green on skin.

lol.. I remember that! I like Ungaro collection except the eye colours. It must have been a quite popular collection though as a lot of stuff are sold out online. MA at Myer Melbourne showed me Fresh Morning and I went Meh~. I am going to Chapel store on Sunday, so I will have to check it out (if they have any left!). 5+ colours? lol.. I do that on Sundays too, when I don't have to rush to get to work and spend more time playing.

I thought I would pick copper sparkle today as I am wearing a work top which has our logo... and part of our logo is the exact same colour as copper sparkle! And because I pressed a heap of my pigments last weekend and I hadnt used it yet.. it was sitting there saying "use me! use me!"

 

[sambibabe]

Good morning! I am determined to have this look work for me! So another experiment of neutral eyes and strong lips.

Soft & Gentle MSF

Lips:

Nars Schiap l/s ---> still too dark!

 

[spectrolite]

^^If you want a really good Fuchsia that is not too dark then try and track down MAC's Immodest Mattene. It is stunning! It looks just like the lippie that the model is wearing.

Today I went for some serious drama and glamor and showed off some leg in a black mini dress. Blue Storm was one of my favorite collections last year and the over cast conditions inspired me to use the colours I bought back then for a look.

Eyes:
Shadow Insurance
Delft p/p

Blue Storm e/s (Blue Storm) Crease
Entremauve pigment(Nocturnelle) Crease

Beautiful Iris - Inner corners
Blue Storm - Lower lashline
Feline Kohl Power - Top and bottom lash line

Cheeks/Face:
Ablaze Blush (Smoke Signals) - I've been using this heaps lately. I think I'm just lazy

Lips:
4N + Sugar Trance - I use this combo alot too... Lazy for sure.

 

[sambibabe]

Oh boy, spectrolite, how many eye lids and creases do you have?

Definitely some serious eyeshadow application there! No wonder you get lazy with cheeks and lips, after putting so much work on your eyes lol.

Thanks so much about Immodest Mattene idea! I bought Snob today and thought I would mix it with a bit of impassioned lipstick. I am also picking up Lipmix pink this weekend, so I can make this 'magenta' lipstick shade I saw on the magazine! Grr..

^^Lolz!! >_< I play up my eyes since I have to hide them behind my thick black glasses. Once I put them on some of my eye makeup gets hidden away. And I get to dress up every single day to go to work so no look is too over the top.
