Makeup Challenge of the Week 2021/2022

[sister13]

[UPDATED WITH NEW CHALLENGES ~ MAY & JUNE] 💗💗💗  So, I could definitely use some makeup inspiration these days and maybe you could too. Several years ago, we used to have some weekly makeup challenge threads, so I’m bringing one back. It’s a great way to spark some creativity and maybe most importantly, a great way to shop your stash!

I started with a list of some challenges below, but also happy to edit/rearrange/consider other ideas along the way. I hope you will join me!  Feel free to post as many or as few times you’d like each week with photos of your looks. If you don’t like to post your face, feel free to do a flatlay of the products you used to do your look. Also, if you get behind or ahead, feel free to post pics whenever you have time.

Can’t wait to see all your looks! Have fun!

Thank you @Jessica362436 , I'm generally more likely to go bold eye than lip, but I have really enjoyed this one! 🙂 

[makeitup305]

Super gorgeous @sister13 ! Love the lip!

[sister13]

Thank you, @makeitup305 , this lip color was definitely the unexpected star of the show! 🙂

[greeneyedgirl107]

@sister13 I wish I had skill with warm colors like that!

[sister13]

@greeneyedgirl107 , thank you! it’s definitely out of my comfort zone, but a reason for the challenge to try some new things. I’m not sure I’d ever even used this palette before, so it’s a real challenge (though I do think it’s so pretty)! 🙂

[Titian06]

@sister13 - You look great!  I especially love your lip color!  😍  I totally missed out on that.

[sister13]

Thanks @Titian06 ! This color looks so orangey in the tube, and when applied full strength, so not my normal go-to, but I think I realized that it suits me better applied, then partly wiped off and topped with gloss. #nevereasy haha!

[eshoe]

WOW @sister13 what a gorgeous look! Your glow, lips - everything about this is just stunning. What an inspiration for this challenge ❤️ 

[sister13]

Awww, @eshoe , blushing, thank you! 😘😘😘

[lmaster]

So so gorgeous!! @sister13 

[sister13]

Thank you kindly @lmaster ! 🙂

@sister13 ,

Hello, Gorgeous!  Autumn never looked more beautiful!

[sister13]

Thanks @tsavorite !! So kind of you! 🙂 

[Ispend2much6]

@sister13  Very pretty!  I love how the lippie looks like a perfect red on you.

[sister13]

Thanks so very much @Ispend2much6 ! It is a great color - it looks great sheered out even more too - very lovely shade!  

[itsfi]

@sister13, you just set a very high bar for running errands! You are glowing!!! 😍 That lip color is perfection on you!! ♥️

[sister13]

Thank you so much! Well, I did have to put on jeans instead of yoga pants after I finished my full face, haha. Most of my lip colors are pinks and plums (and reds) so these warm gingerbread ones are great when I need something more orangey! @itsfi ❤️❤️❤️

[heartsmyface]

@sister13   Oh wow that lipstick looks soooo good! I think that one got rehomed in a ruthless lipstick purge cause I thought it was drying.  I’ll just enjoy it’s beauty on you:) 

[sister13]

Thanks! I can’t remember if gingerbread man or gingerbread girl is my favorite. They’re both pretty warm, but I think this is the pinker one. @heartsmyface 🧡💛🧡
