Custom Lip Colors

I've been on a hunt for a subdued pale peachy sheen for awhile and can never seem to find it. Recently, I bought a make-your-own-lipgloss kit and decided to play with SN eyeshadows to get what I wanted.

I mixed Cream(velvet pearl with hints of gold/tan sparkle)Image and Purr(pinked champagne)Image and got something close to perfect.

The top lips picture is without lipgloss although my lips are usually a bit darker, i had lipgloss on earlier today. I don't love the jojoba base which is really quite sticky. Please oh please make a stick version? oh! oh! GWP "Blushing Bride" !!!

*Pardon the tired eyes and the healing eyebrow. It's 1am- i keep weird hours.

*Feel free to throw out wedding makeup suggestions for my eyes. As you can see, my eyes are dark gray but i have a warmer skintone and really dark circles so i want to avoid anything that makes my eyes look dark or tired. The blush in this picture is DCed "Rich" after about 9-10 hours of wear.

That really is beautiful! My SIL actually wore the Kitten I cloned on her wedding day- which was a surprise- we were just supposed to be in Niagara Falls for New Year's fun, and they slipped a wedding invite under our hotel door- I hadn't packed a lot of makeup, but luckily I had just been to Sephora to get colors to clone, and Kitten worked!

How does Stardust work for you as a blush? I keep thinking sheer, light, etherial- kind of what Tinkerbell would wear for makeup. I'll keep pondering...it will come to me.

That's my laugh-out-loud joyous thought for the day - I love that, it's so true! 8-)

Sam, that really is lovely on you! But, oh, your poor eyebrow!!! You need to work on eating more frequently to keep your blood sugar up so you don't get a case of *the vapors* again!
