Yay – that typo/grammar flub is fixed!
My skin tone/coloring: Fair, cool
Favorite look you wore: Smashbox Minimalist palette (Deco, Nude, Cinnamon and a bit of Java on outer lid); Sephora Cappuccino pencil liner on upper lid and Flirting Game under lower lashes; Lise Watier powder foundation, MAC Rhubarb blush, MAC Craving lipstick
Most used product of the week: that Minimalist palette (it is SO nice)
Any new beauty discoveries: I used the Smashbox under-eye primer (I’d set it aside for ages) – I forgot just how much nicer concealer looks when applied on top of this primer, and not just within the first hour but even 6 to 8 hours later.
Skin Tone/Coloring: Light neutral skin tone, green eyes, salt & pepper hair
Favorite Look You Wore: EYES: Bare Sensuals Eye Palette (Fortune as transition, Hot Spell in crease, Mystify in outer V, Waltz on lids), Diorshow Brow Styler, Clinique Brow Shaper, NYX Worth The Hype Mascara (I love this mascara!). FACE: Estée Lauder Double Wear Makeup, Tarte Shape Tape Concealer, RCMA No Color Powder, NARS Orgasm Blush, Wet n Wild Blossom Glow Highlighter. LIPS: Guerlain Rouge G #06 with MAC Soar Lip Liner
New Discoveries: Lip liner does wonders to keep lipstick from feathering outside of my lip lines! Ok, I know it’s an obvious thing that a makeup junkie like me should already know, but I’ve been lazy when it comes to lip liner. But as I get older, I’m getting those stupid little lines around my lips that aren’t even visible yet except when lipstick wanders into them.
Hahaha on me. Had to wear pink for breast cancer month for night job, so it’s a challenge. Wound up using CP two to mango, howlin’ singles, OTP from pretty much, and look see from Hello, in the expected places, with a center lid hit of Nars Rave from Danger Control. S strawberry macaroon for liner, as I misplaced lots of liners when I was sick and confused. Blush was actually all HL: coucher de Soleil III with New Order on top. For lips, tried a few that looked better than expected, but wound up using Lunatick Lip Dies Laurie… because I just got it. Lunatick was very kind and quick in replacing the missing shadows from my order, even threw in gifts. I know I will eventually order 4 other shadows to fill in the blank slots…they sent a replacement palette, so I still have a blank one. Lunatick has a superb formula. I can’t say it was my fave, but it was unexpectedly decent, for a colorways I seldom choose. Most used: the usual suspects: fab triple duty, Paula SLDWD.; don’t leave home without them. Also used CP good sport at least 2-3 times. It’s surprisingly stand alone. Discoveries: other than how kind and generous Lunatick is, made a Riley Rose f&f order today. They have the Cosrx PHA spray that Ulta does not, also Ace Paradise Fallen (cool looking, for those on the lookout), and a Gudetama lazy egg headband.
That’s awesome to hear that LunatiCK did such a great job making things right for you.
My skin tone/coloring: Very fair with neutral undertones; magenta/red hair; hazel/green eyes.
Favorite look you’ve worn: EYES — A gray and black smokey eye using the UD x Basquiat Gold Griot Palette, with MUG HL in Celestial on the brow bone and inner corner; UD Primer Potion in Enigma; UD 24/7 Eye Pencil in Perversion; NYX Worth the Hype Mascara. LIPS — Maybelline Color Sensational Creamy Matte Lip Color in Lust for Blush. CHEEKS — MAC Blush in Pink Cult. FACE — NYX Angel Veil Skin Perfecting Primer; BH Cosmetics Naturally Flawless Foundation in Ivory; e.l.f. HD Powder; Sephora Tranquil (contour); MUG HL in Celestial.
Most used product of the week: Too Faced Totally Cute Palette. I ended up doing my makeup on the go a lot this week, and it was in my purse. lol (And, of course, my usual daily products.)
Any new beauty discoveries: I’ve found my Wet n Wild eye brushes from the Dollar Tree and cheap sponge-tip applicators are the best things for making the Dominique Lemonade Palette work for me. I actually got a look I liked OK today.
My Skintone /coloring: light, MAC NC 15-20, med brown hair and eyes
Favorite look:
MAC Studio Fix Fluid. Cover FX Perfect Setting Powder. Maybelline Fit Me Concealer. MAC Pro Longwear Paint Pot in Soft Ochre. ABH Brow Wiz in Soft Brown.
ABH Modern Renaissance Eyeshadow Palette. Soft Ochre in crease/ transition. Red Ochre to deepen crease. Primavera on eyelid. Cargo Swimmables Eyeliner in Pebble Beach on top lashline. Cover Girl Remarkable Mascara in Very Black and It Cosmetics mascara on upper lashes.
MAC Extra Dimension Blush in Bareness.
MAC Cherish lipstick.
Most Used: MAC Pro Longwear Paint Pot in Soft Ochre. ABH Brow Wiz. Maybelline Fit Me Concealer. Cover FX Perfect Setting Powder. Tarte Camera, Lights and Lashes Mascara. Cargo Swimmables Eyeliner in Pebble Beach. Clinique Cheek Pop Blush in Pink Honey Pop.
New beauty discoveries: None really. Just eyeing some stuff like ABH Sultry and HUDA Ruby/Topaz/Emerald Mini Obsessions, though I hate that I want anything from HUDA Beauty!
My skin tone/colouring: Porcelain, with pink undertones
Favourite look you wore: I used Guerlain’s Les Aquas palette – with the aqua shade on the lid, a touch of the darker blue shade on the lower lid and the beautiful grey in the crease. I paired it with EA’s Ginger lipstick.
Most used product of the week: All my staples
Any new beauty discoveries: A couple – firstly, how beautiful and subtle the Guerlain’s Les Aquas quad is. I am not an aqua fan as such, but one of my new tops has a beautiful aqua and navy swirl and I thought this palette would complement the outfit and it did so well.
Secondly, I purchased the Designer Brands Age Revive foundation in Classic Ivory (the next shade up from Porcelain as I thought this shade was a touch too pale for me heading into summer) and it seems to be pretty good.
