What are you wearing today?

[simplyenchantin]

I like to be needed, Cats I just didn't see it as anything special! But then I don't wear grey much.. Arctic Grey and Pincurl do me fine and I have the silver from the DE trio and an Inglot pigment pressed.. As for you, you're on a make up ban! I bet you'll find something way more useful to spend your voucher on.. like foundations for your kit etc

^^ Cats needs MUFE foundations in her kit, not MAC!

I've noticed this more lately with certain products like some paints but this just shocked the hell out of me this morning. So gutted as I love this colour but it's going straight to the kit now

Really? WTF? I have wrinkly lids (joy of being an Asian & oldie), but Et Tu Bouquet doesn't magnify lines.. How about using it as a highlight?

I swear it looked horrendous, if I had taken a photo of just my eyes you would have thought they belonged to someone in her 70's. I have some wrinkles on my lids like everyone but it was like turning the volume up on them. Only certain products/colours/finishes seem to do it and I'm working out which ones they are.

I'll try it as a highlight but I think it might be a bit much frost for my liking. It'll be fine in the kit I just hoped I'd be able to play with it more on my lids.

 

[sambibabe]

Pic please

To tell you the truth, I've never used it as a lid colour.. Only used it for inner corner & highlight. All my lines are at the inner corner though! Yeah, maybe it might be too frosty for the lid.. Just like I can't use Pink Freeze as a lid colour

I am bored (the weather is sooo good and I want to go out!), so I pulled out SLR and took pic of my face. I wonder where has Cobalt e/s gone? It was there this morning!

 

[MrsMay]

I can see cobalt! It's in the outer corner

since when do you have wrinkles Nat?????

Robyn - that's such a bugger about Et tu bouquet?

 

[sambibabe]

Where are you Jen? Are you at the airport?

Yeah, but I can't see it in the mirror! It was THERE this morning!
I always had wrinkles *gone to dab more of line fillers*

 

[MrsMay]

^^ nope, I am still in our Melb office, I am on the 8.50pm flight home tonight.

 

[sambibabe]

Oh boy, Jen you will be like

on bed tonight!

 

[rockin26]

Hey Jen, I wish you were in Melb longer, we could have all gone out for tea or something!

I can see Cobalt too Nat, isn't it funny what the camera picks up that the eye doesn't and vice versa?

Here's a pic of Et Tu Boquet on my lid, I admit it isn't as bad now as it was this morning but you can see it picks up everything and my eyes don't normally look that wrinkley

 

[sambibabe]

^^ Yeah, maybe having the camera flash on helped, but I say Typographic absorbed Cobalt. I had to pack it on this morning, because it kept on disappearing lol..

Robyn, I can see what you mean.. but I can see it has nothing to do with your lid being wrinkly. It is definitely the product! I get the same thing with Corn s/s and dried up old UDPP lol

 

[rockin26]

I think Cakeshop does it as well and I haven't tried Lemon Chiffon but I think it'll be the same, I think it's just the frosts that do it to me mostly. Oh and Untitled paint did it as well, if I use it as a base anthing I put over it gives the same effect.

Sucks!!

Hey Nat which do you prefer TFSI or UDPP? I'm almost out of primer and am tossing up which one to re stock with?

 

[sambibabe]

Cakeshop did it to me in the beginning, but it is okay now. Maybe I made peace with my wrinkly lid? I have been applying line filler everywhere, so maybe that helped too lol.

Do you have super oily lid? If you do, you might need to go with UDPP.. If not, TFSI would be okay. I like them both, but TFSI is only $30 from Kit Cosmetics

I know... hopefully I will be making more regular trips to Melb in the next year or so (like every quarter) so I will try to extend it to an overnight visit

I'm going to try and build up my relationships with some of our clients here.

That's a bitch that it did that! My personal preference is for UDPP...TFSI creased on me, but I also have massively oily lids.

Better not say anything

 

[rockin26]

My lids are pretty normal like the rest of the skin on my face so I might try TFSI. Has anyone seen the coloured primers they released? I saw them on Makeup Geek.

I'm trying to be nice to our client's accounts departments so they pay us on time... I get to be the nice one who takes them out to lunch etc

Now I only wish we could have MAC as a client...

 

[sambibabe]

^^ At least it is not like Facebook. Over there you say a wrong thing and your friends jump in and push it further and further. Ahem Jenna's ears should be itchy now.

Speaking of UDPP... in my infinite wisdom I forgot to stick it on today and my e/s has shifted everywhere!

All hail UDPP. Heheh.

And Robyn, I also can see what you mean. I have a couple of frosty shadows that do the same thing (which is why I only went for 1 shadestick in SS), so I tend to just use them on the corners of the lids or as highlights. Mattes are good for the lids!

UDPP!!

I think I'll try TFSI to at least give it a go and see what else is out there, but I'll always love UDPP

I think I've learnt my lesson with my SS's so I'll have to use them sparingly and with great care.
