72 warm color power eye shadow #72-2XW





I really like this palette because it's all nude colors, which is what I wear 90% of the time.  I actually don't wear much eye shadow in the summer, and leave the more intricate looks of mine for when I go out for an evening.  This is also a great palette for blue eyes because there are a ton of peachy shades.  All of the shadows range from matte to satin to shimmer.  The only downside of the quality is that some of the shades are very powdery, so you have to be careful how you handle the whole palette.

I bought this palette from lifeng201010  (http://myworld.ebay.com/lifeng201010/?_trksid=p4340.l2559) who is a top rated seller on Ebay.

Physician's Formula Matte Collection Eye Shadow

I have two quads so far: Classic Nudes and Canyon Classics.

Classic Nudes:




Canyon Classics:




The texture of these eye shadows are very smooth and buttery (which is what you want with mineral mattes).  There is a lot of fallout when you apply (puffs of product cloud out around you if you're too rough applying it) so your best bet is to use a primer on your eyes and pat the color on, then blend.  The stay power on both is pretty impressive: I rubbed the swatches I had on my hands pretty well and it took a minute for them to fade away almost completely.  I haven't tried them on with a primer, so I'm assuming they'll last at least 8 hours with one.

L'Oreal Studio Secrets

Rosecha is something I have inherited from my mother.  Right now my particular case is not that bad, but I can tell that it could get as noticeable as it was when my mother was in her 40's.

This product, however, erases this problem for me.

L'Oreal's Studio Secret Primer in #2



Green counteracts red and pink, so when you put this primer on and work it into the skin, the Rosecha goes away.  It lasts all day as well, so it has made its way into my list of "must haves".  

I actually used to use the Physician's Formula green mineral powder corrector, but my skin gets so dry it just  made my skin look cakey.  This liquid is great for those with dry skin.  I pop this on along with a pore minimize and some tinted moisturizer with sunscreen, and my face is good to go for the day (I also use very little powder to set my makeup because of my dry skin).

Get Matched

It's really important to get matched!


Apparently I'm a "cool":

"Your rosy undertones make shades with hints of blue, purple, and plum your perfect matches. Look for products with silver shimmer and foundations that have tones of pink rather than yellow. "
