Share Your Look: What Makeup Are You Wearing?

March 15th, 2009 by Karen 18 Comments

Happy Sunday, pretties!

I was having a lot of fun with these picture frames in Photoshop this morning and thought, “Hmm… wouldn’t it be cool to take YOUR pictures and do a roundup of them like the other pictures in this post?”

So let’s do it!

If you have access to a digital camera, take a picture of your makeup and send it to me in this form (or send a link). Include the names of the products you’re wearing and a description of your look.

I’ll take a bunch of the looks and put them together in a resource post with a sprinkling of Photoshoppery, some comic bubbles, some pretty picture frames and perhaps a guest appearance by Tabs.

I think it’ll be cool to be able to see a bunch of different looks together in the same post.

Whatever look you’re wearing, share it with the form and attach a photo (or a link, like to Flickr, Photobucket or pics on your blog).

Here’s my look today…

  • Eyes: Stila Jewel Palette, Clinique Brush-On Cream Liner in Bronze, Benefit Samba-dy Loves Me, Cargo Plant Love Eyeliner in Black, Stila Lash Visor Waterproof Mascara in Black
  • Lips: Nars Lip Liner in Morocco, Stila Lip Glaze in Jewel, Stila Pearl Shimmer Gloss in Pearl Kitten
  • Cheeks: Stila Jewel Palette

A description of my look: El Hub and I are heading out to brunch, so I’m going a little casual today with shimmery brown eyes, pink cheeks and a shimmery brownish pink lip. I started with the palette and lipgloss from the Jewel Stila Loves Barbie can. I’ve been repping the scarf/gold hoops combo in my pics lately, but that’s because my hair’s been absolutely out of control!

How to share your look

Fill out this form, and attach a picture of your fine self. If you want to get your pet up in the mix, go for it.

FEED OR EMAIL READERS: I haven’t figured out how to get the form to work correctly from the feed or the emails yet. I think it’s possible, but for now, if you’re reading this on the feed, please click this link if you want to fill out the form.

I’m off to devour some banana pancakes. Talk to ya in a few. 🙂

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

    Hi Karen,

    I am trying to submit a pic but it keeps telling me to check my answer to the last question, which I put in there and I know it’s correct! So I don’t know if you got my submission or not.

    Hi Karen!

    Happy Sunday. 🙂 I just submitted the form but I have to add a disclaimer – this look wasn’t from today, but a few nights ago. I wouldn’t change much to do this look for daytime though, so I found it an appropriate photo to submit since I already had it uploaded on my computer.

    PS: Enjoy those banana pancakes!!!

    Cool idea. Cute look Karen! Love the scarf thing! Unforunately I can’t pull if off, they always seem to slip back off my head.

    Karen,
    Wow what a great idea! I am a freelance makeup artist in Indianapolis. I blog after I work in-store events for Bobbi Brown, Chanel, Laura Mercier etc.
    Last Saturday I worked a Bobbi Brown event, I had time to take (too dark:() pics of my last 2 clients.
    I posted them to my Flickr photostream which is embedded in my web site. I wrote about all the products I had used on both ladies with links to Bobbi’s site in case anyone was interested in buying.
    I am SO happy I found your blog! I will visit often to see what you are up to 🙂

    Karen – This is a brilliant idea. Love it, love it. You’re creating a virtual makeup party. I probably won’t submit a pic (young baby, etc.), but I’m a cosmetics junkie. Yours is the only blog I bother checking out. Great stuff!

    Hi Sole,

    Got it! 🙂 Thanks for submitting it. You look lovely!

    Brunch was a lot of fun. We ended up going to a place that overlooks the water in Sausalito (a town next to SF).

    Hope you’re having a good Monday so far.

    Hi Liz,

    Good job, girl! I need to get my booty to the gym today.

    I haven’t tried The Body Shop’s Aloe Vera Cream. Does it have a scent?

    Hi Briana,

    You can do a few tricks to keep it from slipping (I use creative bobby pin placement!). I’ll do a video soon.

    How was your weekend?

About Makeup and Beauty Blog

Welcome to Makeup and Beauty Blog
Hi there! I’m Karen, your friendly neighborhood beauty addict, and I’m a Bay Area girl who hoards brown eyeshadow and covets coral lipstick. Every morning, I wake up and say, “I’m going to do something other than a smoky eye today.” Then…I end up doing a smoky eye anyway (most days). When I’m not putting on makeup, taking pictures of makeup or writing about makeup, which I’ve been doing daily since 2007 (!), you’ll find me hanging out with my hubby (“El Hub”), my four-year-old daughter (Connor Claire) and my torbie girl cat (Pretty Girl Rosie, a.k.a. PGR).
