What kind of beauty product are you drawn to? Pink lipglosses, bold lipsticks, blue eyeshadow?
I love bold lip colors – gloss or lipstick! If it’s bright and stand out, I always eye it.
Teal or blue/green eyeshadows seem to attract me, but I think I have a ton of red lipglosses, including MAC's lipglasses, varnishes, mattenes and lipsticks. I also am deeply attracted to gunmetal shades. Favorite lipglass right now is Avarice, and the p/p in Industry, a gorgeous gunmetal shade.
Avarice is pretty! I haven't heard of Industry...
Lately it's been pink lips all the way-lipstick and gloss. My classic is Pink Noveau with Nymphette and most recently Twig Twig with Full on Lust. I love wearing pink lips and cheeks with Club on the eyes. I wish M.A.C. would come out with more duochrome shadows like Club.
Wow, Pink Nouveau was SOOO bright on me, couldn't take it.
I'm always drawn to plum lipsticks and have a bunch of them already from different brands. With eyeshadows I'm drawn to blues, teals and golds.
What are some of your favorite plums, Janis? Does one brand do plums better than others?
mostly e/s in plum/purple and gold. i try to go for other colors because i might tend to get the same thing. and plum lips. my face is pale, not fair pale but sickly olive tone pale. plum colors makes it look like blood does reach my face and gold brightens me, makes me look awake. some say why hide behind your makeup, trust me, you don't want to see the natural thing or you'll feel sorry for me.
What are your favorite golds, Victoria?
I like neutral pink or peachy lipsticks and glosses. Sometimes, I go for something a little more plum like Fast Play.
What's your favorite peach lipstick?
MAC Propagate (if I want a frosty peachy nude) and Paula Dorf Breathless for peach lipsticks. I love MAC lipglass in Perfectly Pink :)
Ohh, Perfectly Pink is great!
I like green shadows, sparkles and nailpolish. And I own what feels like a billion shades of pink gloss, so maybe that too... lol.
What's your favorite green?
6th Sin! Mmmm shiny :D
I am a JUNKIE for purple shadows, bright pink glosses, and any kind of bright colors with good payoff! Seriously, it's hard for me to hold back. Anything duochrome, or iridescent also. OMG!!
I'm with you - LOVE duochromes!! Favorite purple shadow and bright pink glass?
Eyeliner all the way for me. I have 10 now, can foreseen it will grow more.
lol! Eyeliner can be an easy habit to pick up!
Right now I am loving blue eyeshadow and it seems to be the brighter the better! Its kinda weird because blue is way out of my comfort zone, but thats good, I guess. I'm just worried about one day walking out of my house looking like Mimi!
What's your favorite blue shadow? lol, that's what I'm always scared of doing, too, Lindsay!
I just got Moons Reflection and Nile and I love them together. And today I got Freshwater and I cant wait to go home and try it out! I am eventually going back for Deep Truth, How similar is it to the Navy Pigment that came with the cool holiday set? Do you have any blues that you would recommend?
Ohh, Moon's Reflection is really pretty. I know you'll love Freshwater! It has amazingggg pay off. Okay, I prefer Deep Truth to Navy pigment, personally! I just find it prettier, lol!
i used to be totally hooked on pink glosses, but latley i've discovered that coral and peach are better shades for me. so now, i'm defenitly obsessed with finding coral or peach lipsitck, gloss and blush. i'm always obsessed with nude and purple eyeshadows :) oh, and perfume. love it!
Ohh, I love corals! They're such a great color :)
Eyeshadows of every colour, finish and format known to womankind. If it exists at MAC, I will eventually own it.
LOL! Oh, Tekoa, a girl after my own heart.
Browns and neutrals for the eyes, soft pinks for the cheek, and bright or soft pinks or purples for the lips. I like brown eyeliner, but also sometimes dark pink or purple ones. If I do add colour to the eye, its usually pink or orange :) I do have a fabulous palette or greens and blues and some purples though :)
What is you favorite soft pink for cheeks?
I actually really like the benefit blushes :) I don't own a single MAC blush yet! But... I am already feeling guilty about the size of my collection and I intend to pick up the soft ochre paint pot. Also, the Remotely Gray is interesting me... I actually really want the Old Gold pigment. I had a sample of it but it looked like such a bizarre colour I never used it. Well I've been trying to use up some of my pigment samples (so I can use the containers for something else, haha!) and it looks totally different on your eye! Crazy!
lol, wow, no MAC blushes! Well, if you ever venture into it, you'll be hooked ;) I think I have about 18 or more blushes! Old Gold pigment is so gorgeous! It was one of my earlier pigments, and I still adore it.
I'm all about bright, primary eyeshadow colors! Shimmer, matte, pearl, it doesn't matter - if it's wild and bright, I'm drooling over it.
Sounds like me a year ago, Beth! I used to loveee anything bold and bright.
deep sigh, pink lippies be it glosses or lipsticks :) I adore pinks. I am also obbsessed with finding the holy grail light pink nail polish.
You must be a pink princess :D I tried this lovely pink polish, but sigh, just a touch TOO bright. :(
Essie makes awesome pink nail polishes. Mademoiselle and Sugar Daddy are my two favorite pinks they make. Just a nice, clean look.
It was actually an Essie polish I just tried, ha!
I love Essie's Mademoiselle & Sugar Daddy for a natural look. My mum doesn't like it though - too sheer LOL
Any Purple/Lavender/Lilac/Violet/Plum & Teal eyeshadows with glitters or shimmers esp. loves mineralize or baked products.
What's your favorite purple shadow?
Metallic, blues, and green eyes(liners and shadows). I've got 2 green eyeliners and I'm still looking for a good blue or purple one. I also like goldish lipcolors and the dark plums/reds.
Hi! Shu Uemura have a good midnight blue metallic, one of my fave.never smudge and extremely long lasting.
I'm drawn to Coral colors be it lipgloss or lipstick.
Ohh, me too, Fie!! I love coral-pinks especially!
Yes definitely! The best color payoff for coral-pink lipstick for me is Vegas Volt. It's gorgeous!
Oh, that is a BRIGHT one! I can't quite pull that one off, so kudos to you for it :)
Eyeshadows - satin finish products in beige, champagne, rose, gold, olive, copper, chocolate brown, dark plum, dark blue, black Lipstick - satin/matte finish products in both orange and blue based reds, wine, plum, dark maroon and chocolate brown
That's a fairly expansive list, Tonee! Seems like you get tempted by quite a few things, lol! I don't envy how much you have to resist ;P
I'm always drawn towards pink or nude lipglosses.
I'm always drawn to pink ones, too!
