What are you wearing today?

[panda0410]

I cant wait for my tempting quad to arrive! Been anxiously watching my postie :|

Sami I use the same method to depot all my shadows!! I love it

But I havent been as sucessful using the same technique with blushes - got any tips for me?? I am terrified of burning stuff with candles and poking things with knives.... I broke my Emote blush and was horrified that it was chipped everywhere - I bought another and havent touched it, waiting to find some better blush depotting techniques :|

MQ - Springtime Skipper, yikes!!!!!

Billy I dont know about Adelaide but Paddo do

is there any way i can get the look without getting the quad??
as in... color alternatives??

is dark edge anything similar to espresso?? i could get myy hands on sharp.. but i don't think i need the whole quad to recreate the look...

panda, I am too chicken to depot blushes!! Plus I like my blushes in pots.. Having blush powders all over the palette would really annoy me!

mystiqueen.. Sharp is Overgrown (LE), but you can get away with Bitter.. Next to Nothing is like Naked p/g? Tempting is quite special lol.. Dark Edge is like Brun or Bark?

Nat do you want to be my asian model for my MA course? I need someone with a hooded eye (ie no crease) to come to my class on the 9/4 so I can do a look on them, interested? You could pick up some new tricks.

It was supposed to be perm at pro stores from the Overrich collection but now it seems like all the Overrich pigments were actually LE as the pro stores dont have any stock and no-one can find them!

Myer definately accepts depotted e/s for B2M, also depotted blushes (both without pans)

I love tempting... perfect chocolately brown on me with gold flecks. It's one of the "good" lustres, lovely and pigmented and great to work with!

I normally love layering a colour over Retrospeck, but with Woodwinked, it doesn't show up much. I forgot why I don't use it as much until this morning!

It is good if you are doing a subtle, hardly-there-go-for-interview kinda makeup or if you do the hollywood glamour with red lips. I don't think it is your thing though- you like your eyes bright!!

Anyway, come over and have a look at it yourself hehe

Sweet Chestnut is right on for either Maroon pigment or Heritage Rouge pigment - I have all 3 of them and they are pretty much indistinguishable in colour - the pigments are perhaps the tiniest bit more frosty but not overly noticeable. If you wanted an e/s dupe go for Cranberry - its the closest you'll get.

Yep Coppering is the closest e/s dupe to Brash

I have two Spiced Chocolate quads, was about to swap one away!

I got my Norwegian Wood blush this morning and I depotted it

I used and iron and some baking paper - worked PERFECTLY!! I travel about a bit too - all my blushes are in a 6x blush palette - its much easier than carting about pots

It's a Sunday and I cannot remember if I need my model at 10am or 1pm but i'll check tonight and get back to you. It would be awesome if you could, we could grab a coffee and check out the pro store, it's only 5 stores away!

I was wondering about Woodwinked as well. It's one I hear thrown around a bit and I was thinking about getting it for my bridal palatte. What are your thoughts on Brun?? It looks pretty in the pot.

I really can't give you yes/no answer now, but it sounds great.. I try not to work on Sundays! MrsMay, would you be in Melbourne till then?
Yeah, Woodwinked would be great in your bride palette! Brun is just like Bark e/s.. I have them sitting right next to each other in my palette and forgot which one I was using, so I used both!

Anyway, I love Brun, especially when I want to keep my brown a woody brown, without any coppery or red tone.


Yay panda for successfully depotting your blush!

I am too scared to carry my palettes overseas.. so unfortunately, I will just have to buy shadows and blushes there

 

[simplyenchantin]

Thanks Nat!! I'm glad you know me so well, you'll stop me from spending money on stuff I don't need Neutrals are one of those weird things for me.. I don't use them that often, and I have heaps of highlight colours anyway but sometimes they come in handy! I will have to come over and perv on your eyes indeed
