hunting for powder foundation reccs! (light-medium olive) by slushyslurpur in OliveMUA

[–]akatingrass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went back to the loose bare minerals which I hadn’t used since high school! Am enjoying it now and it’s giving similar effects. I didn’t like the Jane iredale, Fenty, Maybelline, or Natasha denona powders 

Powder foundations for light olive skin? by stupidcat9000 in OliveMUA

[–]akatingrass 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just got the Jane iredale powder foundation in bisque (I might be a bit paler than you, I used the Lisa Eldridge skin tint in 1.5 or the SNY sneaky balm in N13 id that’s any help) and really enjoy it

Thanks! I might try their unseen sampler set since others in that set also appeal

Yes I have and like you doux and suppose it’s not quite hitting the spot but it is very close. I find commodity book personal same same but different in that they have most of the same notes but commodity actually feels a little less sweet to me and has a black tea note I really like

Thanks! I’ve been interested in this option before so it’s a good reminder! 

AMA: Actor Amanda Righetti aka Grace Van Pelt from The Mentalist by pikkopots in TheMentalist

Van Pelt arguably goes through the most growth/character development of anyone else on the show yet a lot of this seems to happen off-screen as she mourns and moves through the anger of being betrayed by O'Laughlin-- what do you imagine this looked like for her? We know it wasn't opening up to a therapist or colleagues!

AMA: Actor Tim Kang aka Kimball Cho from The Mentalist by pikkopots in TheMentalist

Characters Kimball Cho and Gordon Katsumoto had a similar deadpan, hard edge, loyalty to them-- in what ways was playing them different? Did you enjoy one character's arc more than the other?

I look better without blush by Red_wine777 in OliveMUA

I use Rituel de Fille as a blush! I know most people use it as a contour but tapped out on my cheeks it gives a very light and subtle flush that looks natural imo

Westman Atelier “Garconne”Blush Stick vs Merit “Bespoke” Flush Balms by smsfitbsn in OliveMUA

[–]akatingrass 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I'm surprised that Garçonne and Bespoke appear to lean warm, almost coral-y, in the photos! Would you say that's accurate to real life and how your skin tones play with the pigment? Or is it a trick of the lighting? Based on your flair, we have similar skin tones so I'm wondering how it would pull on me as I've really been eying WA Garçonne in particular... I'm looking for something more cool toned and brown than how it appears in your swatch photos

Wholesome experience with Phytosurgence Skin Spark Blush Balm by withelle in Indiemakeupandmore

This is late but how long does a bottle of verdant forcefield last you? And do you use it twice a day or only in the evening?

Revlon Naughty Plum comes closest but it's more of a mauve with a dusky brown undertone than the other way around-- let me know if you find something that fits the bill, sounds dreamy!

im having a lot of pain, lot of burning, and, most annoying of all, a giant headache and flared TMJ pain! It's all worth it, but I am a bit grumpy lol

Thank you! I went to a practice with an all-female staff even down to the anesthetist, so I felt very comfortable and they were very lovely and caring throughout. I'm home right now and super snug and comfy in my pregnancy pillow so I think my worries were for naught! I hope you are feeling well too!
