Silk Naturals

Mirage is hard to wear, I have to have a really bold eye to balance it out. It looks more nude on me than that photo shows. Pout is pinker than the photo (stupid photos! I tried adjusting the contrast and saturation to make them look more like they really look, but it's hard to get it quite right). It is very pretty though. That was part of an AMAZING raok from Cupcake.

Edited to add: I forgot to say thanks Jen

It is so difficult to capture the right colors in photos! I used Halo on inner half of the lid, Madison on outer half. Coal to line upper lash line, Extravert foiled on lower lash line and smudged upwards. A little bit of Tahiti Sweetie in the crease.
No foundation, but Medium Peach Creamy Concealer in the eye area, Tinted Oil-Control Blur all over the face, Beach Bunny as bronzer and Siren glow on cheekbones.
Barcelona on lips - this has become my holy grail, such a versatile color that changes in depth depending on my current natural lip color. I love its texture and finish!

Picture taken only minutes ago, after a full day at work and about 12 hours after application (except for Barcelona which was reapplied right before taking the picture). I never thought of my skin as oily but with the OC-Blur the makeup stays on so much longer!

Pout's one of the very few lippies I have that's in the pink family. I have an aversion to pink as they tend to clash with my very strong yellow and tanned undertones.

For example, I used to have Grace (d/c) but it was too pink on me and was just wrong. Chucked it away in the end.

But Pout goes on sheer enough

This is from yesterday. I decided to try Sizzle with Highbeam, turned out really pretty I think!



Foundation, Finishing Powders, Eye Shadow Primer (blended through the whole eye area to avoid the "ghost lid" look it sometimes gives), Clear Cream Liner (to foil lower lash line), and Mascara in black are all from SN.

Highbeam on the inner half of lid and foiled on the inner half of the lower lash line. Sizzle on outer half of lid, crease, and foiled on the outer half of lower lash line. Whipped Cream as highlight under the brow, and inner tear duct area. Satisfied as blush. Temptation, blotted, with Gleaming layered over it to soften the color a bit so it didn't overpower the eyes!

Hi superwhaz! So nice to see your face! Yes, I agree that your look turned out very pretty! (Looks like I have exclamationpointitis again..... Is there anything one can take for that? )

Aww, thanks! And nope, there isn't a thing to take for it... I remove exclamation points from my posts constantly. I'm surprised there isn't a limit to how many can be in a post, like there are smilies! I bet the one who controls that secretly has a touch of exclamationpointitis too... If you find a remedy, let me know!!

You look gorgeous, Tiara! Now I have to get out Temptation and Gleaming. . . . introduce them to each other!!!

Hey, I'm an English teacher, and a little "exclamationpointitis" won't hurt anyone!

Tiara that is so beautiful!
I love love love your eyes...

Tiara, you're so pretty and you have perfect skin! Wow.

superwhaz that is a really great look for you, the picture could be taken straight out of a magazine! I've been eyeing Sizzle for a long time and you make me want it even more - wouldn't have thought of pairing it with Highbeam though (how great is that shadow!) but it looks beautiful!
