I wore it 3 times this week ! I love it
I always did the same look pretty much every time I wanted to wear makeup this week:
Face: MUFE Pink primer mixed with MAC Strobe Cream (gives you a healthy glow from within and smooths out pores!)
Bronzer: MAC MSF Natural in Medium Deep or Smashbox Halo Perfecting Bronzer
Eyes: Giorgio Armani Eyes to Kill mascara then curled my lashes to make them really long – this is the only mascara that holds curl for me.
Highlighter: MAC CCB in Hush on cheekbones and eyebrow arch.
Lips: Been loving the MAC Cremesheen l/s in “Ever Hip” and with MAC lipglass in “Perennial High Style.” I sometimes change it up to Korres “Natural Purple” lipstick if I want a more mauve/pinkish look.
Nars cleo (the seafoam green side) with Nars bateau ivres (the light blue side) so pretty together!
It would have to be the neutral look I wore yesterday! NYX’s True Traupe all over the lid, Smashbox’s Bronze in the crease, and a mixture of a shimmery purple-pinkish color and a bronzy brown from a random Sephora palette. On my cheeks I wore Rimmel ‘Summer Fever’, set it with translucent powder, and wore the Hello Kitty Apple Balm from Sephora!
It must be the one I’m wearing right now: MAC Cutie eyeshadow quad using Boycrazy on lid and Azuki Bean in crease and on lower lashline, with UD Zero smudged on upper lashline and in waterline. On cheeks, MAC Sakura, and on lips lipbalm with MAC Acid washed.
…Huh, the MAC Quite Cute collection got loads of my money. Damn these colours!
I used Mac Mineralize Compact Foundation on face,
Mac Sunbasque on cheeks, Chez Chez Lame for highlight,
Mac Jade Way eyeliner on lower lash line with 219 brush,
Any brown colour for crease (I don’t remember which I used:) ), Haute&Naughty mascara,
For lips I used Mac Gold Rebel l/g (from Style Warrior colletcion) onto Mac Lip Erase in Pale.
I tried to do a green EOTD using NYX Mermaid Green & NYX Algae with NARS Night Porter in the crease, but it didn’t work out too well. So I didn’t really have a fave look this week. I will keep trying with that green eye look until it satisfies me. 🙂
I wore MAC Peek-at-You all over the lid, Urban Decay Binge 24/7 Eye Liner, Benefit High Brow & Bad Gal Blue mascara. On my cheeks, I wore MAC Nuance Mineralize Blush and on my lips, I wore Revlon Coral Reef Super Lustrous Lipgloss (I adore this gloss). Pretty simple, but it looked pretty and fresh.
I love coral reef too! It looks awesome on top of siren lipstick!
Face/Cheeks: Shu Uemura UV Cream Base (Beige), Shu Uemura Nobara Cream Cover Stick (754) set w/ Shu Uemura Powder Foundation (964)and Shu Uemura Glow on in P Amber 83 to contour. Guerlain 4 Seasons Bronzer to liven up my face, Guerlain Blush G Series Noir on my cheek, the pink gradiation on the apples towards my nose then the coral from temple to cheekbones.
Eyes: Chanel Regard Perle, the green shade on my crease, the pink on my lids and the beige to highlight the center of my lid, white shade to highlight brow bone. Shu Uemura Drawing Pencil (ME Brown) on my upper and lower waterline and Shu Uemura Painting Eyeliner (M Brown) on my upper lashline. 3 coats of Cover Girl Lash Blast Length Mascara topped w/ Christian Dior DiorShow mascara for volume.
Eye Brows: Shu Uemura Hard Formula (07 Walnut Brown) set with Shu Uemura Eyebrow Manicure (03 Hanigureizu)
Lips: Body Shop Spiced Vanilla lip balm topped with Shu Uemura Rouge Unlimited in PK 369.
Haven’t worn it yet, but planning on wearing it tomorrow for my grandma’s 91st bday.
Face: Philosophy Hope in a Tinted Moisturizer (shade 1, extra light).
Eyes: Lancome brow gel in brown, UDPP, MUFE Aqua Cream in #18 (shimmering lilac), Clinique High Lengths Mascara, Diorshow Mascara and Stila Kajal liner in Tiger’s Eye on waterline and upper lashline.
Cheeks: Nars Laguna bronzer.
Lips: Fresh Sugar Lip balm Rose tint.
I wore a pink and teal-shadow look yesterday using MAC eyeshadows (Da Bling, Sushi Flower, Surreal, Plumage, etc.). The look can be viewed here: http://cosmephile.blogspot.com/2011/04/pinky-teal.html
Face was bare but the eyes were
NYX jumbo pencil in Milk as a base
MACs Chrome yellow center of the lid
MACs Beautiful Iris in the inner corner
MACs Parfait amour outer corner and crease and
WnW creme eyeliner making a cat eye
That sounds really cool, I love yellow and purple together.
Estee Ladder cream shadow in Antique Gold all over lid, Tarte Amazonian Clay blush in Dollface and Clinique Chubby Stick in Wopping Watermelon. Very easy, very spring 🙂
Wopping watermelon sounds sooo juicy! Need to google it to see how it looks like 😉
wnw sweet as candy on eyes with lots of mascara
hard candy blush in honymoon on cheekbones
mac in synch lip pencil with palladio lip balm in golden rose over it
Oddly enough this is the look I got the most compliments on:
Nothing on face
Mac Vintage Selection paint pot on lids
Maybelline One by One mascara
Fresh Rose Sugar Lip Treatment on lips
THAT’S IT! INSANE! I guess my skin isn’t as bad as I have always thought
every single day this week, without failure, I have been wearing
*a lilac-y color all over the lid..I prefer the eyelid color from the Wet ‘n Wild Color i-Con Trio in Silent Treatment(lovvvve)
*Liquid Liner
*Mascara
*Posie Tint from Benetint..provides a natural pink-y glow to the cheeks
*New Hard Candy Fox in a Box in the color Smooth Talker..love that it’s a dupe and only $6 rather than $28 like Sugarbomb
*Revlon Matte lipstick in Stormy Pink..it is my new favorite lip color, I’m in love!
Dior forever fondation
Nars Orgasm Blush
Nivea Lip Care Passion Fruit (Aayh so yummy)
Mac swish, black liquid liner, posietint, and pretty please lipstick… that’s it today.
So I’m heading out to Hollywood for dinner drinks and to watch Rain at the Pantages and I got on the duo chrome kick after seeing your post on duo chromes. So I got out Space Cadet and did my nails. Then I got Gorgeous Gold with some white and black and did that on the lid and then got some black to cut the crease with fishnet and then used Pink Opal in the inner tear duct area and lightly put Gorgeous Gold in the highlight area. I did my lips outlined in Deep Purple from NYX (filled in too) to bring out the green duo chrome awesomeness of LORAC’S 3D lipglass in Vivid. And that’s my duo chrome over the top but I love it makeup for the day.
Earlier in the week I did a really colourful look and got so many compliments!
MAC Juxt (inner lid), Urban Decay Graffiti (Outer lid), Urban Decay Fishnet (crease) with MAC Nocturnelle (defining crease), a fine line of Urban Decay Peace on lower lash line and MAC Dazzlelight to highlight. I lined with Bobbi Brown Black Ink and used L’Oreal Volume Million Lashes. It sounds totally obnoxious, but I felt really bright and happy!
Chelsea, that sounds like fun! I love bright looks.
my favorite look this week!
I curled my hair, and wore my new eyeshadow from Urban Decay!
Eye-primer: Too faced Insurance! then some creamy eyeshadow from revlon as a base
Eyes: UD shakedown matte with UD electric matte in the middle, then of course a white/skin toned highlighter under the brow line;
24/7 liners right above the lashes: wiskey and flipside. Then zero on the waterline!
Mascara: CARGO!
Face: Make Up For Ever HD foundation; MAC fix powder
Blush: my new UD score!!!
Bronzer: (just a little to contour the face) Sephora bronzer disc
Lips: NONE! all natural :3
Super low on inspiration and motivation this week. I tried a black smokey eye with Gunmetal, Creep, and Hustle…did not turn out well 🙁
Playing with my Rock and Republic shadows didn’t go over very well either 🙁
The best thing that I did was Summer of Love–Maui Wowie on the inner third, Chopper on the outer 2/3 and above crease, Flash in crease, smog in outer v, highlighted with Wet n Wild’s Brule. Lined with Bourbon.
What a sad makeup week 🙁
I did a great purple smokey eye and pale pink-peach lips on Wednesday.
NYX Red Bean Pie on lids and on top of liquid liner
Covergirl Coffee Shop shadow quad- matte brown shadow in creases
Revlon Matte Vintage Lace as highlight and blending shadow

-followed by and mixed with NYX Round Lipstick in Strawberry Milk
-topped with Covergirl Amazemint Lipgloss in Red Riot.
Too Faced Natural Eye palette in various combos.
too faced natural eye palette, classic part + mac ricepaper for my eyes.
mac dainty for blush + by candlelight msf for highlight.
flormar longwearing #12 or mac patisserie or mac see sheer for lips 🙂
My fave this week was the Nars Rated r duo – green all over, blue on the outer lid and into crease. Some black liner and mascara and it felt really bright and happy!
I did a warm pink, coral melon and olive green eye (inner lid, outer half and crease/corner respectively) with L’Oreal Infalliable e/s in Forever Pink and 2 shades from my Witchery Marble Sands quad. Lined with Estee Lauder Double Wear liner in Forest (so pretty) and DiorShow mascara.
Pupa Luminys Velevety Baked Blush in 07 (dusky rose) on cheeks and then Guerlian Gems lipstick with Jordana Sunset Kiss lipgloss!
I have finally “collected” enough MAC eye shadows to start having some fun. My favorite looks used Orb, Rice Paper, and Juxt, and I also liked using Soba and Naked lunch. Each time I have lined my eyes with Embark…
This is basically my everyday makeup, sometimes I switch up blush/lips:
Face: Origins VitaZing, Benefit Erase Paste, MAC MSFN, ELF Cool Bronzer, MAC Ladyblush bluschcreme, ELF Gotta Glow highlight
Eyes: UDPP, all Urban decay Naked all over lid, Buck in crease, Smog in outer V, Virgin as highlight, MAC showstopper for brows, blacktrack fluidline on upper waterline, MUFE smokey lash
Lips: Revlon Coral Reef lipgloss or MAC Marquise D’ topped with Beaux lustreglass
Clarins lipstick in sunset, word it twice this week and givenchy perfect khol… And still thinking whether to buy Lady Danger or So Chaud to be my next favorite Orange lipstick 😉
Any suggestions?
My favourite look at the moment is an understated natural look:
Eyes: MAC Sweet Joy as highlight and in inner corner, MAC Wedge in the crease to lightly contour, a bit of MAC Tete-a-Tint on the lid and MAC Brown Down just lightly to darken the outer corner and to line my eyes
Face: MAC Careblend Pressed Powder and MAC Margin or MAC Pink Swoon on my cheeks
Lips: MAC Freckletone or VG Cyndi
The Boyfriend had to ask if I was wearing anything ha!
Face: MAC Studio Sculpt Foundation in NC15 + 2 Lustre Drops in Pink Rebel, MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Natural in Light/Medium, MAC Sakura Mineralize Blush, Lustre Drops in Pink Rebel as a highlighter
Eyes: MAC Paint Pot in Fresco Rose, MAC Defiance Quad from WW, MAC Fluidline in Dipdown on upper lashes, MAC Miss Behave Mineralize Blush as an under eyebrow highlighter, Opulash mascara in black
Lips: Nymphette Lipglass!
I finally took the plunge and shaved my hair down to 1/2 an inch, which doesn’t LOOK great, but it FEELS great! And I feel like you can pull off more dramatic makeup with short hair, so I was rocking NARS Schiap on my lips and used the UD BoS3 for my eyes. Haight on the lid, psychadelic sister in the creasee, with Snatch as the highlight and Haight smoked out on my waterline with Psychadelic Sister again in the inner corner. Two coats mascara. MAC’s Her Blooming Cheek blush on the cheeks. Fun look!

On Friday, I wore WnW Nutty all over the lid with a bit of MAC Brun smudged into the crease and on the very outer corner to darken it a bit. Gosh Truly Brown eyeliner on top lid and under lower lashes. I used a bit of Shroom (want to use it up but wonder if I ever will) to highlight. MAC’s Pinch O’Peach blush and, also from MAC, Dervish lipliner and Laugh a Lot lipstick. Pretty and fresh looking.
It’s been hot in So Cal so I just use vitazing on my face, NAR Exhibit A blush, Mascara (benefit plum), and Dior lip glow.

I had a really fun weekend make-up wise because I went to two weddings so got to glam up a bit! For the first wedding I wore purple so did make-up to match: I used the purple eyeshadow quad from MAC’s Spring Colour Forecast on the eyes, with a bit of Vanilla pigment and a touch of the dark purple from Urban Decay’s Black Palette, with Pink Cult blush, Perfect Topping MSF, Orchidazzle lipstick and Lap Of Luxury lipglass. For the wedding today I wore black with black and cream accessories, and I did a bright red lip (MAC Heartless and Wicked Ways from Venomous Villains) with neutral eyeshadow and Peaches blush.
Another first for me — pairing orange and purple shadows for a very tropical shadow look. I used MAC Goldmine, Juiced, Parfait Amour, and Beautiful Iris — just to name a few shadows. The look can be viewed her: http://cosmephile.blogspot.com/2011/04/bird-of-paradise.html
I went to an 80s party on Sunday and did a glammed up, goth-purple kinda look:
Face: MUFE HD foundation, powder, and sculpting duo. I used a dark pink MUFE eyeshadow for blush, using a card to get a cut line on my cheek.
Eye: UDPP, MAC Fresco Rose PP, MAC Shroom for high lighter, MAC Stars n’ Rockets for lid, MAC Young Punk Mineralized e/s for outer V and crease. MAC Blacktrack for upper lid liner and a random NYX black pencil for the lower rims. Lots of Diorshow Mascara.
Lips: Black eyeliner for lip liner, MAC Night Violet, and MAC Gimme That! Dare to Wear Lipglass over it for a hint of shimmery pink. It looked awesome.
