Face Charts from Milan Fashion Week

It seems that many of looks focused on nude lips and neutral/heavy smokey eyes. The only look that actually had some sort of colour was the last. This type of look has been featured in Allure in tandem with a pink version of the same concept.

My absolute favourites  are the last 2.
The RED cat eyes, lips and cheeks are quite in fashion at the moment, however many must be very careful when doing a look as such as it can easily go the opposite direction intended and have you looking as if you painted on your cheeks and scratched your eyes until it got raw (that or red-eye or as if you're healing from a fight).
Be very very very careful and start of light then build in order to avoid looking totally horrible and keep in mind the red look may not suit everyone.

BEST silver eyeshadow EVER!!!

Yes, it looks beat up because it rolls about in my makeup bag!

For Tribe Carnival 2010, my costume was silver and i was searching for a SILVER eyeshadow to wear. Then i came across Platinum by L'oreal. They don't kid when they say "HIP-High Intensity Pigment"!!! It is SILVER, not metallic grey, not grey, not pewter....SILVER!
It comes with a matte black with a tiny amount of silver glitter sparles (which doesn't really show up) :s
The packaging is cute!! It comes with a sponge applicator (which i find does nothing)....but it opens at the bottom where you find the sponge applicator and a mirror :D
Not only is it extremely pigmented...it doesn't crease and it lasted me the ENTIRE day from 6am-9pm carnival monday & tuesday (for US and other citizens, that's 2 days in hot, blazing sun...lots of sweat and a whole lot of running all over the road). I couldn't believe it didn't fade!! I wouldn't really use the black that comes with it just because i don't find it's as smooth as the silver and it doesn't go on as pigmented.
It's available all over the US for about $8usd and in Trinidad in Superpharm for about $55ttd (i think).

I have tried the L'Oreal HIP eyeshadows in Saucy (which i HATED because the darker brown had so much fall out i didn't think anything went on my eye!!) and Flashy (which i love the look and colour off, even though you need to build the colour of the blue...and it sort of fades after a while) but the BEST is Platinum!!
It is SILVER, doesn't fade, doesn't crease, stays on all day, highly pigmented and it pops!!!!

Just thought i would share this with you. It's great for smokey eye and for CARNIVAL 2k11!!!!!
