You look wonderful! That's a great lippie shade for you!!! Yes..I'm at about 10:1 right now because I have "a tan"- meaning I'm not easily mistaken for a ghost at the moment. When I first started making foundation- mixing like that was the only way I could get a decent match for myself in small batches, so I went with it. I'm still jealous of girls who can get a tan- it's so very "exotic".

Another redhead on the bandwagon for foundation for fair people!!!!

Which is why I love Silknaturals. Because of Karen I'm now able to wear make up!!! Before because I couldn't get a right foundation match (which was a never ending struggle for me, looks like I wasn't the only one) and as a result I didn't even bother with the rest (shadows, blush, etc). But thanks to karen, she has change my life around. I go to work everyday and people who have know me for years say how much I have changed (I'm losing weight as well - lost 3st 10lb in 6 months woohoo). Karen from the bottom of my heart I thank you. You have no idea how silknaturals has changed my life. Your whole collection is all unquie - thank you sooo much :lol:

Mgmsrk - you look fantastic love the look, I've got to do mine this weekend. Karen's right about that lippie, it rocks on you.

Ghost and Karen, Thank you.

Rhys, I think you’re correct about having the face a bit darker, I usually blend a touch of foundation on my neck to avoid the line. Most days I add a bronzer so my face will always be darker.

OK, this is last night with my hair down.

You have great hair!

Mikie- I just googled it, and 1 stone is 14 pounds- so she's lost over 50 lbs! Way to go! Ghost!!

That's an amazing accomplishment and I'm so happy for you- I know how hard it is to loose weight, and I'm just so proud of you! You must be thrilled! I have to say I almost cried when I read your story- it's really nice to know that we've helped at least a little- although you deserve all of the credit. You did all the hard work.

Mikie - a stone is about 14 lbs. A lot. So 3 stone ten would be 52 lbs - which is quite an accomplishment!

My skin has been pretty bad since I moved so I'm posting an EOTD! Lol. The photos just didn't want to show the color but i'll post them anyway. I did it with the fall colors i suggested in another thread:
Wink Wink, Plush, Naughty, and Mink
ImageImageImageImage
Both Eyes: Wink Wink lash to brow, Naughty over lid, Plush to darken the outer corners, Mink to line<br />The Mascara is two different brown mascaras (upper and lower) from another company

I couldn't get a good pic of my eyes closed- the flash glared and no flash washed them out. Plush and naughty do go on pretty close in color (plush is a tad darker/browner) Might be nice to foil this look. I do line on the inside of my lashes rather than the outside. I always liked mink because it offers definition without being an obvious liner
