Re: I need skincare advice

Your skin sounds dehydrated given that it can be both dry and oily at times. I'm assuming that you mean the same areas are changeable - that they can be oily at times and dry at times. The skin cells lose water from inside the cell and it looks lackluster, like a deflating balloon. The skin as a tis...

Re: Light Pink Eyeshadow

If you like Phantom, please try Model as it's a perfect complimentary tone and very beautiful.

Re: Light Pink Eyeshadow

Phantom is my ultimate pink (perfect skin tone) but those others might be too pale and shimmery, rather than the sheer finish Date Bait gives. I was thinking for a moment that there's a lack of pink eyeshadows - then D'oh! moment - you can, of course, use blusher as an eyeshadow. Perhaps Petal would...

Re: Taupe for meee?

Noooo nothing like Colt. Colt is dark, opaque and densely pigmented - it's a heavy hitter and a little hard to control as a shadow, ideal as a liner. Tru Luv is soft, almost creamy and gently pigmented, a deep colour but with a tender touch. It's texture makes it very forgiving and easy to work with...

Re: Taupe for meee?

Tru Luv (and the little set from Thea that goes with it) is the best palette of creamy neutral staple colours I've ever had. I love it for a brow colour and soft eye liner. It's got a slight soft rose tone to the brown, so it might be a very good idea indeed for frkls! Good thinking heidiv

Re: Taupe for meee?

I think you'll need Jen or Karen for this one as I'm not good at colour composition maths. My skin is so pale that thankfully, everything looks on me the way it looks in the jar. Makes finding swatches much easier! If your skin is making the blue-purple tones stand out and the redder tones (in taupe...

Re: Taupe for meee?

My first thought was Mink or Tweed, but Earth is a must-own taupe, too. I'm not sure how deep a taupe you want. Maybe look at Eu-taupe-ia and Glory (shimmer), too. I universally recommend Idolize but it may lean a little too much towards plum / grey going by your comments. Hmm... I'd start with Eart...

Re: Spring is Here!!!!

Just wanted to send a big thumbs up. Beautiful collection to compliment last Spring's colours, some of which are in my all time favourites for light, bright and breezy looks. I'm looking forward to Whimsy and Linen most of all but I gasped at the sight of Ruffian - what a magnificent blue! Not sure ...

Re: Suggestions for easter look

Beautiful dress. I think Frckls is right, classic and playful bright lips with a simple eye makeup. Perhaps try Shrieking Violet lippy over Azalea to get the look she has suggested? Have fun.
