Skin tone/coloring: Light, neutral skin tone, green eyes, s&p hair
Look you loved this week: ColourPop Tide Pool (from Blue Moon Palette) on lid, MAC Haux in crease, Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in Mushroom on lower lashline, Cover Girl Clump Crusher Mascara, Benefit Precisely My Brow. FACE: Estée Lauder Double Wear Makeup, Tarte Paaarty Blush, Clinique Dramatically Different Lipstick in Canoodle.
Any new or old favorites discovered: Just the fun of doing experimental makeup looks for Zoom meetings!
Any product you’re hoping to use next week? Playing with more of the eye shadow colors I rarely use.
I just want to add a quick comment about the video loops of tips and hacks that show up on this website. Not only are they annoying and distracting, they contain some of the most mind-numbingly stupid ideas I’ve ever seen! Do people actually take these seriously?
Your skin tone/colouring: Porcelain, with pink undertones
Look you loved this week?: I did a neutral kind of gold eye look using my Pixi Beauty Reflex Light palette – with Nude Lustre on the lid, Cocoa Glaze on the lower lid and Antique Bronze in the crease. I also added a dash of the olive green shade Eureka from Soft and Smokey (bareMinerals) and paired it with CP’s Foolish lipstick.
Any new or old favorites discovered?: No real discoveries, just having fun.
Any product you’re hoping to use next week?: Well, I am going to Sephora today….maybe I will see something that I will love and that is affordable…
Your skin tone/coloring: Under my name; magenta/red hair; hazel/green eyes.
Look you loved this week?: Our weekly challenge for the Phyrra FB group was to recreate one of Phyrra’s tutorials, and I chose a beautiful turquoise and chartreuse one using MUG Power Pigments. I don’t have those, so I made substitutions, but I still think I nailed it. This is her original look: https://phyrra.net/makeup-geek-power-pigments-tutorial.html
EYES: TFSI. Nomad Kakigori from the Harajuku Palette (crease, fading up toward the brow), Coloured Raine Vivid Pigment in Neo Blue mixed with ColourPop Tide Pool (crease, outer 1/3 of lower lashline), CR VP in Yacht Life (outer V and crease, upper lash line), and ColourPop Mary Jane (inner 2/3 lid; outer 2/3 of lower lash line). LORAC I Love Brunch HL in Limelight (brow bone, inner corner). UD 24/7 Eye Pencil in Perversion (upper waterline) and Post Punk (lower waterline). BROWS: Powder side of e.l.f. Eyebrow Kit in Medium. LIPS: BH Cosmetics Waterproof Lip Liner in Muse and Wayne Goss The High Shine Gloss in Chrysanthemum. CHEEKS — Physician’s Formula Butter Blush in Plum Rose. FACE — AOA No Pore Face Primer; Milani Conceal + Perfect Foundation Stick in Porcelain; e.l.f. HD Powder in Sheer; L.A. Girl Just Blushing Blush in Just Because… (as contour); City Color Cosmetics Intense Exposure Highlighting Powder; DIY setting spray.
Any new or old favorites discovered?: I’m really liking the L.A. Girl Just Blushing in Just Because… as a contour shade. It’s the perfect color, and it blends more easily than Sephora Tranquil. I bought a couple backups when Tranquil was DC’d, but it’s nice to have another option.
Any product you’re hoping to use next week?: Whatever I can from the new stuff I’ve been hauling!
Your skin tone/coloring: above with freckles, green/gray/blue eyes, warm brown hair.
Look you loved this week?: I didn’t wear makeup for half the week because I was too focused on our second go at potty training my son, but here’s what I wore after that mental marathon:

I didn’t particularly love any of the looks I did this week, but that was the look I liked best of what I did do.
Any new or old favorites discovered?: not that I can think of! Just continuing favorites week to week.
Any product you’re hoping to use next week?: I’m really enjoying my collection.
