Today I was doing some more organizing -- putting all my magenta-type lippies in one place and putting my Meow samples by colors. Then I marked them all by their descriptions. I have a disproportionate number of Meow purples and lavenders, though I like to wear those colors. I did have 2 grays and one taupe (which looked green in the ziplock.) That's how I saw and decided what colors to wear. I started with the lipstick, knowing I wanted to wear that again, plus the enhancer I beaded for my daughter's newest bright green pendant (I'm wearing it). Then I saw the Meow colors and knew I was hooked for today.
Eyes: all Meow except where noted, in the order of application
Crease: Taupe -- this looked green in the bag; looks taupe on, though it pulls some lavender in the pictures -- I didn't put any lavender into it except possibly at the lowest point of the crease
Inner corners: Misdemeanor VandalEyes -- citrus green with gold -- love this green!
Outer corners: Jessica R ScandalEyes grape
This is sort of the look I get when I do my mascara, as I tilt my head back and look in a hand held mirror to do the top lashes. Only this picture was taken when totally finished. You can see the gradience of the colors.
Mascara: top, Guerlain; lower:Tarte
Brows: Merle Norman powder
Lined lower: Mary Kay Tahitian Gold (love this color!)
Tight lined top and wetlined lower: Venomous gel liner (the purple that BookGirl liked so well)
Drylined top: Tongue Tied IdealEyes Deep Smoky Plum
No concealer
Sunscreen Neutragena, on face; La Prairie, on my neck
Primer: Avon Magix
Foundation: Chanel, discontinued
No highlighting
Rouge (under my sparkly powder mix) Maybelline Rose Petal Mousse
Blush (over) NARS Riviera stick
Lips: Beauticontrol Perfect Azalea topped with BE Buxom Dominique gloss (clear with white, light blue and silver micro shimmer) -- BookGirl likes this -- I used to wear it a lot.
What I think
When I compare this to yesterday's look, I like the teal greens (better?) but I do like this look and will wear it again. If I don't compare it, I think, good look! Plus I've had several compliments on the lippie, which I need to begin to wear more often again. It's one of their older colors when they color coordinated everything to your season, not that I could wear all the colors that were supposedly mine.
What do you think?
