Sorry ladies, just realized I was up. Had no clue what to do so I asked the hubby.

This week's challenge is purple and glitter. Use a purple shadow (or maybe a purple lip?) and some glitter somewhere - loose rules here. Enjoy!!!

Some inspiration:

Great! I'll let my husband know he picked a winner. Smile Although our motto here is when in doubt, go with purple.

Oooh my first challenge. My order should be here any day now! And I know I ordered a lot of purples so I should be good Smile Cant wait to see what people come up with! I spent last night going back through the weeks and checking them out, so many awesome ones. This week will be great for Fall, because purple is one of those lesser known colors of the season, but deserves a lot of attention!

Eye shots only here, full face to be posted in FOTD shortly. Yes, I look very beige because the flash went off.

Eyes
Mireille Bete Noir on lid, into crease
LadyStarDust Rocks in crease & above, swept under eyes
XOXO Valentine 09 LE on browbone
Orchid Pure Eyes frost on browbone
MassHysteria Glam Glitter dabbed wet along crease, under eye. Dabbed little more LadyStarDust over it to blend
Purple lashes with sparkles along lashline (I didn't bother trimming them so they're on a bit wonky)




Nice to get back into the swing of things!!

Okay...bear with me. LOL this is my first challenge as a makeup newbie AND its super early in morning but I was awake waiting for hubby so I thought Id attempt it.

In person you can see A LOT more glitter in it. Or at least to me it was a lot of sparkle lol but Im new to these more intense looks ^_^ but its got purple soooo I thought Id post it.

I also have NO foundation in second photo >.< dont laugh! And my camera really sucks, especially at self portraits. hehe anyway I used divine intervention on the inner part of my eye, and still in hollywood on the outside and crease. I played with doing the purple wet too, helped darken it up. I was amazed! But then I blended the crap out of it lol Ive got some glitter on the way so Ill attempt another look later in the week and see if Im more successful....OH and I used catwalk on my lips with some clear gloss over the top. Smile

Looks good, AFEcoMom! Would you do the honors and select next week's challenge colors?

The first person to post a look gets to pick the following week's challenge, but I've done it a bunch of times and would love to pass the torch to someone new, especially since it's your first time participating in the challenge! You can either select two colors or pick a theme, whichever you prefer, and post them on Sunday (10/18) or Monday (10/19). Can't wait to see your selections!

It's been going on for so long now - 77 weeks already, whew! - you'll have a lot to scroll through! If there's colors you love but have been chosen previously, pick 'em anyway. There's always new ladies eager to join in on the challenges, and some that are a little gun shy, patiently awaiting their favorites to be selected.

AFEcoMom, LOVE that shape you created. I agree, capturing sparkles on camera is so difficult. Argh. Can't wait to see your challenge post. Yes, don't worry if it is a repeat...many times many of us don't have the time to post for a challenge, so having the opportunity again is nice.

I really love that look, Dru. The richness of the purple you used on the lid really comes through strongly in the photos, I'm really tempted to pick up that color!

I love my makeup bold, and while I think neutrals look good on others, I hate them on myself.
