Miranda inspired me to use the same MK colors that she had. Of course, I ended up tweaking it...I felt the sweet plum would be too dark and I'd accomplish the same look using Iris.

These would usually be colors I'd head back to for fall. But it made me feel cooler, even if the temps were way up there! I feel I'd like to revisit the MK summer collection again, with the turquoise and browns. Maybe tomorrow!

Eyes: All Mary Kay, except where noted
Base: Nude Frost (not MK)
Lids: Crystalline
, for some shimmer; then Dusty Lilac to get some purple, but it didn't show up
Crease: Steel
Outer corners + some in crease: Iris
Drylined top and bottom: Sweet Plum

Mascara: Arbonne 2 step
Brows: Merle Norman powder

Primer: SCA;
Foundation: Arbonne
Rouge under powder: Chanel stick
Powder: my sparkly mix, then Guerlain meteorites as bronzer
Blush: MK Shy Blush
Highlight all over: Arbonne Promise (the darker shade of blush that I bought, not the one I usually use to highlight) -- I wanted to pink it up some.
Concealer: Arbonne + Dior skinflash

Lips: Arbonne Copper Sheer and Shine, straight up, strongly, so I could show a picture
I know, it likely doesn't go with lilac, but it does go with the plum which is a warm shade -- and rules are made to be broken. Plus I knew I'd be using other lippies as the day went on.

Thanks for looking!

To buy Arbonne from Bookgirl, if you don't have a representative, go here.

I like those purples on you. They’re super flattering.

Thanks! I like to wear purples or to pop browns with some color.

I had a recent MAC makeover where the MUA used Prunella for liner — a sort of brown-purple. It is very flattering. Not too brown; not exactly plum. I didn’t buy it, as I have similar colors.
