I love Creampuff too! It gets a lot of use when I decide to make a really smokey eye. :)

Lately for me it's been all about "Blushberry" ALG. I've taken to layering it over OCC lip tars to get the exact coral I wanted with the ALG boost/moisture for Spring. I usually wear cool tones but decided to lighten up my hair colour a bit and embrace coral this year for awhile and it's fun, it's cheerful to wear.

I am a huge ALG fan! It's my go-to lip product. :)

I'm using my SN mineral foundation (and Unblush in a couple of spots) in this pic, along with Blushberry, which was layered over Jemma Kidd's clear lipliner as a base, and a thin layer of OCC Memento).

(Oh, and I use the Facelift Serum religiously - seriously good stuff. I have no doubt it's helped my skin firm up!)

Hi everyone,

I'm new to Silk Naturals, and I'm loving everything!

Today I'm trying out my foundation mix for the first full day, and it matches very well (11 Ivory with 1 Olive). It was really fun to mix the colors to find my right shade. The Medium coverage formula actually provides quite a bit of coverage for me, and I'm very pleased.

My favorite lip color so far is the ALG in Pretty Please...Stunning! I also love Creampuff.

For eye shadows, I like Bone as a highlight, and my favorite lid shades so far are Loaded and Brimstone...but I have a lot more shadows to try, so we'll see what happens. The shadows are so smooth and blend beautifully. I have tried mineral shadows from just about every brand out there (at least that's what it feels like), and these are the best in terms of smoothness and blendability.

The SN product I'm loving today is the foundation!

Ordered a sample kit - amazed by how perfect my skin looks when peering in the mirror. It's like my natural skin, only better. And I loved playing mad scientist with the kit. One thing though, I noticed that it oxidizes horribly if applied straight after my suncare (usually a high-SPF lotion). So I let my suncare settle before applying it, which makes it oxidize less.

Today I'm also loving the Orchid eyeshadow sample. I'm using all eyeshadows received in my latest package - two gifts (Dig It and Moon Glow) and a sample (Orchid), in my photograph below. Orchid is used on the lid with Dig It on the crease and Moon Glow as highlighter (it adds a bit of depth). Dig It and Moon Glow ended up not being suited for my skintone when used individually, but I thought I'll make it work with an extra cool colour, and it turned out surprisingly okay, if I may say so myself. I finished with Magnum as an eyeliner.

Am usually horrible with eye make-up and go au naturel with eyeliner and mascara only, which is more than enough for me, but I'm trying to improve on my skills nonetheless. I may start a thread with all my crazy eyeshadow experiments, so I may receive some helpful feedback!

I notice that Orchid is not available, what is the nearest colour equivalent to it? I'm sold on bright lilac eyeshadow!

i love your eyeshadow look! the colors all work well together yet are interesting, i especially like the bright purple. i don't believe that you are usually horrible with eye makeup because you did such a great job. looking forward to seeing more of your "experiments."

Swing KC with a pop of Champagne gloss (now retired :( ) over it. Perfect! Love it!
Swing is pretty one its own as well.

Hubbub. This is everything I wanted ST Tropez to be. It's a perfect no brainer, don't need a mirror to apply, MLBB neutral peachie and something else but I don't know what lippie. The golden shimmers are subtle and beautiful. I have like 1 other HG lippie (Creampuff) and Hubbub is joining this list. Absolutely beautiful, thanks Karen!

Heirloom lippie, its MLBB goes on a shade darker with added shimmer. Will be awesome for winter since the cold makes my lips look bleached out pale.
Also liking Caperberry, wasn't sure how much I would like it, but it is a little less green than the swatch and its easy to get it to blend and vary the depth of the color you want. Love SN's matte shadows.

Seconded. Lovely daytime peachy neutral. The fine golden shimmer is my favourite part!

I also love Strawberry Fields as a wearable, sheer jelly-like red.
