I ordered from Milan Minerals and I tested out some products today. Im wearing two of their eyeshadows from the make mine matte collection, blue bell on the top lids and hush on the bottom. They are so intense! I applied them with gelle drops and so far it looks as good as t did when I put it on this morning! Im loving it. I don't ususally wear bright colors anymore so this was refreshing. I used to wear them every day a few years ago. Im also wearing "real red" as a blush, but it's pretty pink not red.
Im also wearing lumiere flawless foundation in light cool (i was wearing my sample of fairy light cool for a long time, and i look extremely pale even in the light cool so i cant imagine what the fairly looked like! yikes!

The pictures look kinda goofy because I was testing out lighting in the bathroom and the best was right in front of the window, and I might look angry cause of the sun in my eyes! lol. Im including one or two pictures with normal lighting away from the window, to show me less pale. some are brighter than others. very different light variations! sorry about that.

The neck pictures arent to be "sexy" lol, I wanna know if you guys think my face is more pale than my neck, because when I do my makeup in the morning sometimes when I look sideways it seems to be lighter in the face..and I wonder if I should try the next darkest color. What do you think?

Sorry I made this so long, I can never seem to post a short thread!

Hello Mindy. Your skin is perfect and if you have on Lumiere foundation it's a perfect match. That gloss is perfect in fact so perfect who is the gloss by? You're beautiful but personally I don't like the e/s though your eyes are beautiful enough to carry anything.

you shoulda seen the really close up ones i took! you could definately tell my skin wasnt perfect. all red and blemishy. yucky.
the gloss is actually macs lustreglass in ornamental. it is a red color but if you don't put too much on/it fades then it turns a pretty pink! i like it both ways.
you're too sweet thank you for all the kind words.

PS I stole that lipgloss (well, borrow ) from my sister! shh. I don't have like any lip glosses myself, gotta go buy some.

thanks!! i don't think i'd ever find a match in milan, the colors are far too dark for my pale pale skin! im definately not a "woman of color" lol!

The color match is perfect - you look great.
p.s. don't give up on Milan foundation,,,,the lights are very light....of course there are only couple of them to choose from but that is what samples are for. I am really liking the foundation or I wouldn't mention it. Take care!

I know what you mean about not being able to post a short thread, I always have way too much to say in my posts, LOL.

Wow, that eyeshadow really is intensely pigmented! I'm not one for bright colours myself, but I think it looks cute on you And the foundation seems like a perfect match, I can't really tell a difference between your face and neck at all. Looks good!

[hojojj]

Both the eyes and foundation look great!
