thanks rou!

i'm going at the end of t he month for the smoke signals event. i want to learn how to do a smoky eye for my friend's wedding where the dresses are black. i didn't know the colors though so big thanks!!

while we're at it can you take a look at my fotki pics and recommend some makeup colors for me?

rouquinne · 08-08-2007, 08:15 PM

i think a rich purple eyeshadow would look AMAZING on your gorgeous eyes!

there's an LE colour that is still available on MAC's website, so you might be able to get it locally - Floral Fantasy. if that isn't available, the perm shade Satellite Dreams is close. Urban Decay's shade called Purple Haze is nicer than the MAC one with the same name. and Smashbox has a lovely purple called Camera.

luvmylocs · 08-09-2007, 04:22 PM

i could kick myself!!! i saw floral fantasy, wrote the name down, didn't buy it, it was killing me, i went back and it was GONE!!!! urgh...thanks for the suggestions. i'm going to check out the shades you suggested and thanks a ton for your pm too!!

rouquinne · 08-09-2007, 07:56 PM

oh no....

well, definitely try Satellite Dreams when you go to MAC and have fun shopping!

Meghuney · 08-10-2007, 11:34 AM

I'm gonna want that Bare Truth lipglass.

xcptnl · 08-10-2007, 11:47 AM

What would you recommend for green eyes - I am so bad at eye makeup. I have thin eyelashes (goes with my thin hair) and deep set eyes so I feel like even when I put on mascara you can hardly see it. Any thoughts?

There are some face (YUK) photos in my fotki.

rouquinne · 08-10-2007, 04:35 PM

purple is also great on green eyes because purple is opposite green on a colour wheel.

have you tried some individual lash clumps at the edges of your eyes to bring your lashes out more? or a lengthening formula - as long as you don't wear contacts.

I do wear contacts so I usually try to look for products that are OK with them. At the salon I go to for waxing they have a procedure to put on eyelashes - it cost about $100 I think - I have actually been thinking about it.

rouquinne · 08-11-2007, 12:34 PM

what about Kiss Me mascara, x?

while most places that do lash extensions say they will last up to 2 months, what they don't tell you is that they sometimes only last 2 weeks! it really depends on your own lash growth cycle.

luvmylocs · 08-11-2007, 02:37 PM

xcptnl try revlon fabulash! it works wonders. my friend thought i had on fake lashes with it.

40's Pink - Neutral midtone pink (LE)

0.0 you're kidding me!!!! i just watched breakfast at tiffany's this weekend [hearted it!] and was thinking if MAC had a matte, pale pink like audrey's. yaye!

rouquinne · 08-22-2007, 05:22 AM

Smoke Signals and Blue Storm are available for order today on the MAC website!

luvmylocs · 08-22-2007, 10:27 AM

rou i tried a purple, i actually bought amethyst by studio gear and it's a total winner....great on my eyes! thanks for the suggestion!

i'm going to the smoke signals makeover event in next saturday. i'll report back how i look! and what i buy, although i'm thinking of sticking to basics like new foundation, powder and one shadow that i'm in need of.

rouquinne · 08-22-2007, 03:15 PM

you're very welcome, luv - enjoy the event!

MassCurls · 08-23-2007, 08:24 PM

You are such an enabler, Rou.

I went and got Soft and Slow and Mellow Flame. I can't wait to wear them

My Scant from the prior collection is worn to a nub as it's become my go to color. Too bad it was a LE, but at least I bought a couple more once I fell in love with it. The texture is fab! I may have to get another one since my local MAC store just got more of them in...

I have to say, I hate their trend around the LE's but they are coming out with some great colors...

MassCurls · 08-25-2007, 03:59 PM

Okay, Soft and Slow is AWESOME! It's like Lust but a bit deeper and with a bit of sparkle.

Rou, did they reformulate the lipglasses? It seems a lot less sticky than the last lipglass I bought (in a really good way).

curlyarca · 08-25-2007, 09:35 PM

i haven't bought any mac for a while ( a month

), and you guys are making me want more.

not that i've heard... maybe they're being influenced by the lustre glass and plush glass...?

MassCurls · 08-26-2007, 03:53 PM

You should totally get it - it would be stunning on you (it looks fantastic on us PPPs

)
