My Makeup Journey!
I love blogging! Being able to combine blogging with expressing and sharing my makeup journey has been a true blessing and I'm grateful that I have a forum in which to do that! I have posted numerous things about makeup shades, taked about colour analysis, created different colour palettes and collages. I have been on a journey of thinking I'm a deep winter, soft autumn, true autumn, soft summer etc etc - I do not at all have any regrets when it comes to makeup and colour. I have no regrets with colouring my hair a burgundy red shade, cutting my hair short, wearing a bright fucshia lipstick or even sporting a teal eyeshadow. The time and energy I spent creating various colour collages, trying to 'figure it all out', going against what my intuition was saying - nope, no regrets at all, just genuine gratitude for where my journey has taken me. I have to say that I have been wearing the same look for a while now. I love the simplicity and the timeless classic feeling of having a signature look that 'works'. I have embraced the true autumn palette full force (which I was drapped in twice) and am really, enjoying just being happy with something that is authentically ME! I see myself taking this blog into a new direction. Its not going to be about 'my look', my journey into colour - I want it be more about a journey into what beauty and elegance truely are - really embracing the 'simple things' - finding the meaning behind 'authentic' beauty. I'm excited for what is to come with this blog. I want to leave this post with sharing with you my current 'look', the 'authentic me':
Amber lights eyeshadow by MAC combined with a warm brown liner (Mambo by NARS) has become my classic eye makeup look. NARS blush in Madly is just 'amazing' - I love how the colour looks on its own - its the prettiest warm shell pink shade. FOr the lips, nothing is better than the right shade of red - for me its a warm, brownish red shade - I love mixing a deep red like NARS Fire Down Below with Revlon's 'Copper Chrome' (seen in this pic) or with MAC's Chili!
I have a wonderful feeling that this new year is going to bring amazing new makeup experiences. I can't wait to continue to share my journey with you!!!

You look lovely and your skin looks particularly lovely and glowing... is it the lighting, the camera, the foundation or something else??
Renata, do you mix Revlon's "Copper Chrome" with MAC's "Chili"? Looks good.
Yes I do mix the two! It creates a more 'rust-red' shade, perfect for evening!!!
Thank you Sneza,
I think that I've finally found my best colour harmony! I'm really SO, SO happy with the true autumn palette!
Dear Renata,
Yay for finding your "signature" makeup! I think it's a wonderful thing, and it truly does look authentic on you! I love all your posts, and I've also enjoyed your experiments with all the different palettes! Thank you for sharing your colour journey with us all :-)
Thank you so much Sonia! I'm so happy that you've been part of my journey!!!
I've been reading your blog for about a year now. I really enjoy following your adventures in seasonal colour. You are a stunning True Autumn!

JB - THank you! THat means a lot! I really do love the TA palette the best on me - its here to stay!!! :)
Thank you for your interesting journey through different colors and styles!
Make-up can do a lot so it would be crucial to see certain colors without any makeup to know if they are really suiting. If we look for example the drape tests you made once:

Anybody who is having an eye for color can say that those True Autumn colors are in contradiction with your own colors.
Unfortunately I just can't find that warmth and goldness in your natural coloring, skin, eyes and hair. Your eyes are more soft and "cool" than autumny to me.
I still hope to see you in grey, navy blue, raspberry, burgundy, blue-greens etc. in the future. I suspect strongly that the Soft Summer (Deep) would be your best bet.

You are a soft summer as far as I can tell.
Dyeing your hair is throwing you off.
Childhood photos of virgin hair can be very helpful.
Good luck on your continuing journey.
THanks Anonymous - I always appreciate feedback!!!
I also think you look lovely in Fall colors, but in the end you have to feel confident in that look. An in person analysis is the only way to help clarify this, which I think you have already did.
It is sad, this blog is dead now....
Margo - I will be back, I promise!!! Just need a little time to get my act together :)
