Any color suggestions for me?

Post by royalgoddessbeth » Sat Feb 05, 2011 2:41 pm

Any color suggestions for me? I'm posting three different pictures. Mostly to soothe my own vanity. One you can see how much thinner I am, but I'm having a terrible hair day. One is a much better hair day but the light isn't very good. Third the light is good, and you can really see how yellow-toned I am, but alas, I'm much heavier in it.

I have lots and lots of SN, but are there any looks I'm missing? In the top picture, I'm wearing Cherry Crush liquid lip color with Maybe Baby or something like that. In the second picture, I'm wearing Black Dahlia with Carnal, and I'm not really quite as white as that picture makes me look. Third picture is before SN.

I would join a 12 step program for my SN addiction, but 12 steps are for quitters!

Hi, I am yellow too and I am an addict. Maybe some of my exp will be useful. My current lippie favorites are: Hot Blooded, Seedy, Infatuation, Peachy Keen and Gleaming. I haven't found my HG blush, but Afterglow has impressed me a lot. It is not for every look but it is gorgeous. It is not that dark as appears in the jar.

As for shadows... I have 46 shadows (6 non SN, but will be replaced some day, other non-SN are replaced with 40 perfect and almost-perfect colors)
I have "teal" collection, Suedes, Harry Potter collection, smokey-eyes, neutrals, pinks-cranberry and Groove that is alone for the greens. If you tell me what palette are you interested in I could tell you some of my fave combos - maybe some will be new to you.

As for powders I like Tempt Thryst - some days I can wear it alone, Beach Bunny and I have received Chrystal glow and I am amazed - it is pink but it doesn't make me red (I tend to look red) but gives me some glamorous glow.

Here's my stash by the way - it is nothing compared with Samantha's, but it is huge. Before I got acquainted with minerals I had a cosmetic bag with foundation, one blush, a couple of shadow palettes, mascara and a pencil. Some lippies in the bag... Just compare to the picture :-)

I have the following blushes: Climax, Foxxy, Carnal, Embrace, Flirt, Lychee, Maybe Baby, Bronze Beauty, Phoenix, Cupid (I use as a blush), Cocoaberry, Jamie (my all-time favorite that I'm almost afraid to use because it's d/c), Vino- and I have Petal on the way.

I have the following lippies, Menage, Eternal, Negligee (absolute favorite ever), Prelude, Black Dahlia (favorite pinkish color), Copper Rose, Aria, Vintage, Cherry Crush, Rhapsody, Sugar Plum, Carpe Diem, Nectar, Iced Mocha, Bliss, Amour, Rare Berry, Hot Blooded, Jaybird, Breathless, Birthday Suit, Skinny Dip, Bon Bon, Autumn Ember, Polished Pink, St Tropez, Barcelona, Fashionista, and Bobbi. I have Cultured on the way.

There are some pinks I can wear, and some I just can't. You won't see me wearing a color like Wisteria.

As for eyeshadows, I have at least 100 SN eyeshadows in every color family imaginable.

I tend to stick with tried and true...sometimes I venture out with my colors, but I tend to the conservative. My favorite is Chills, Frills, and Thrills.
