Agreed, Jen, you look fantastic! And that lippie really suits you
Now I'm drooling over the new collection, and with my recent GoW binge (had to do it here, as their international shipping is prohibitive), I'm going to have to wait.
Then again, I probably already have enough stuff and then some to play with - but the new looks so pretty on you!

Thank you Queenie50cat and Rhys! It is a bit of a leap for me on the brighter colors, and not sure I'd be comfortable with them everyday, yet.

From what I have seen of the New Blushes on Vox, the colors look fabulous. I think I have seen pics of the dupes for Benefit Dandelion (Petal), Bobbi Brown Pink Raspberry (Tart), Nars Outlaw (Forbidden), Nars Deepthroat (Lovelace), and Mac Breath of Plum (Sugar Plum).
Karen, pease correct me if I messed up the names. I am just guessing by looking at the pics! I can't wait!

Get comfortable with them! Really. You don't look old or anything in your avatar pic, but you look a lot YOUNGER in the brighter colours.
And did you do something to your hair? It could just be the light, but it looks really nice.

Thanks, Rhys! As for the hair---I went a little lighter in search of the 'Fountain of Youth'. I have always had such dark hair (it was black when I was born). I will never be able to pull off blonde, but a Warmish Med./Dark Brown I can handle! I may even go a little redder next time.

The color(s) look great on you, Jen! You look somehow more approachable/friendlier somehow...can't put my finger on it ~ but it works! LOL!

Jen,
What a great FOTD! You look so healthy and refreshed (not that you didn't before)! These colors work so well for you. And you are really making me sooo antsy for the MOAC debut!
Hugs,
Susan

Just popping in to say this - Jen, this looks beautiful!! I love it. I love the lippie on you, really! It's lovely.

I kept almost the same user name on this forum so as not to confuse the issue, LOL.

Thank you Ruby and Karmen!
I am really going to keep trying on the brighter colors. There are some nice ones to choose from, and more coming!

I hope the MOAC is soon. Last I heard, there are a few things to add to the new website and then it should be a go!

Today it is really just an EOTD plus a little cheek.

All Silk Naturals
Perfect Harmony 1Ebony:8White
Carnal Blush
Date Bait
Eyes:
Breathe on lid and crease
Vanilla as a brow highlight
Liner is Mahogany Gel liner tester
Black Mascara
The Breathe is so much prettier in person. It sheens to blue. Love the Carnal blush. Need a full size! I put Pout lippie with this look. I did this one pretty simply and am definitely open to technique suggestions! I should not have blended out my crease so well IMO. Maybe I should have added the Slate in the corner, too.

I have to agree that Breathe is another stunning colour - and it looks great on you. You look so, so good in the colours from the new collection
