complexion. I was wondering if wearing liner with pastel eyeshadows is
'too much' for the Spring look? The Lancome Candide model doesn't appear
to be wearing liner, just mascara. At least, not the usual dark (eg.
black, brown) liner; Lancome has blue and green Artliners out, but I
don't use liquid liners. Suggestions?

this great CG black eye pencil with a sponge eyeliner pointed tip on the
other side, it is like so great for lining with powder. The Sky Blue
stands out and looks great. I do this with a lot of my GB Metals Kit also
and it looks really good.

with a touch of shimmer. I think its the only good shadow consistensy out
of the Air colors. The efferesvence (sp?) and the Pink Breeze do not show
up very well. I use them also with this look by putting the Efferesvence
all over lid and smudge up to just below the brow bone, and then the Pink
Breeze heavily on the lid and a little on the brow bone. but it is a very
light look since the Sky Blue is basically the only one that shows up very
well.

The spring look is definitely without eye liners AND without lip liners.
At first try it is hard to do this especially since we are still wearing
dark winter clothes. When you try the spring look wear a white or pastel
blouse or sweater. If you use pastel shadows, try transitioning by using
plum, gray or navy liner lightly. If you use pencils, Mac and BB have them
in these shades. The new spring look also gets away from black and brown
mascara to colors and the color on the lashes provides the contrast that
liner previously did. rjudith

Not only that, but it doesn't feel much like spring right now :(. As for
no lipliners, all I can say is 'hurrah' <g>. They're tricky to use, and

I will definitely try this. Hopefully, it will ease me into the no-liner

I love colour mascara, but have had a hard time finding one that will
show up on my lashes. I recently bought one from HR in an electric blue,
which would certainly provide much contrast to the pastels! Is colour
mascara just on the tips still the acceptable way of wearing it? I worry
about this 'shortening' my lashes.
Rjudith, you provide expert and practical advice as always. Thanks!
RJK

Sky Blue is a new color in L'Oreal's "Air" collection. It is a very pale
baby blue. It is very cool toned and somewhat sheer with shimmer. Worn
alone it is almost whitish or silvery and not much blue shows. L'Oreal ads
which are beginning to appear in some March US magazines show it worn in
the inner eye corner. It supposedly is useful for a variety of skin colors
and tones and advertisements show it with 2 different models, Mill and
Vanessa Williams. rjudith
H. Chan
Thanks. I can't get it here, but I have any number of pale silvery blues
from Bourjois, Shu, Mary Quant, and MAC. I'll try those. I'm thinking of
lining the eyes thickly with a wet liner brush, like a Longo MA showed
me. It should show up more, and perhaps approximate the pastel
artliners.
RJK
pale silvery blues
from Bourjois, Shu, Mary Quant, and MAC.
Similar to the palest cool blue from Mary Quant, or the lighter shade from
the Rimmel blue duo from last fall. Also 5S has a comparable color so I
suspect Shiseido may. Don't know of a Mac comparable but will look
tomorrow. Mac has far more pigment. rjudith
Sabrina
effects to it, I suggest finding a liner a similar color to the pastel
shadow. When I use a pastel green shadow, I like to use a sparkly
light green Nat Robbins liner I have, just to add to it. I chose the
green after testing every liner I had. This effect gave me the softest
look, but not as soft as no liner. For me, no liner looked washed out.
So, this idea may work for you too!

I think on the tips might give the appearance of shortening lashes and
doesn't work so well without using black as a base which is too harsh for
spring. This season it appears that colored mascara is used on the entire
lash and since there is no darker liner and the lashes are set against
pastel base colors show up a bit. But not as much as you would think and
do not look "freaky", I have the Christian Dior new mascaras in violet,
green and rose (there is also a lovely blue) and Estee Lauder in turquoise
(also disco violet and magenta, royal blue and blue green from holiday @
Nordstrom). I am just beginning to experiment with these and they are
pretty against pastel colors. rjudith

I was just looking at these yesterday, having reluctantly dismissed the

for other colours?

silver eyeliner on one eye with a Sephora pencil, and the same Bourjois
wet with Trish #41 on the other, finishing off with HR Magnetic Ocean
mascara.
Silver liner is definitely more subtle, though this may be because of
the particular pencil that I used. I'm not a big fan of eyeliner
pencils, and may try lining with a silver shadow, wet and dry.
Using the shadow colour as liner really emphasises the colour, giving a
'frosted' effect that I really like, though it's not to everyone's
taste.
As for the mascara, I wished it showed up more. Perhaps I should have
bought the turquoise instead of this electric blue. Or I could get a
white one to use as a base.
It's astonishing how pastels can be made to look more dramatic than
darker, stronger colours! Not in the least 'insipid'.

I am always careful to only wet around the edge of a powder shadow, just to
avoid the "spoiling" you mention.
Also, if the spring look calls for pale eyeliner I would still put a line of
dark powder shadow *in* the lash line, using Trish #33 brush or similar. This
punches up the lash line, no matter what color mascara you're using, and even
if you're not using any eyeliner at all.

So true, when I did the makeover on Saturday and used the very pale colt
(reddish brown)
eyeliner, it just didn't get it. So, I took a very
fine tip eyeliner brush and put just a very very
fine line of the dark green cake eyeliner
immediately around the eye area. You still had
the effect of the light, but still made the eye the
focal point. Very good point EMiriam!!!

These cost a lot more here, about 6ukp for the applicator pen, and 6
again for each colour cap; you have to buy pen and 2 colours all at
once. Too expensive for a product I still have doubts about; I worry
about the colours drying up fast. I also considered the new YSL pencils,
but I would prefer to invest in an all-purpose silver, rather than one
of the pastels on offer.
I really am interested in getting a silver liquid liner, but I lack a
steady hand :(.

Trish #33 is the same as #11 except it's slanted, which makes it much easier to
use in the inner corner. The technique is the same: "push" the powder shadow
into the lash line. I never go without this line--the eye looks pallid and
would look even more so with pastel shadows and silvery/shimmery liners.

Actually, now that you mention it... I'm building an eye based of of the new
Azure for today (not done yet w/ the makeup). It looks like it will be Azure
all over, a bit darker in the crease, with a bit of Prestige Studio Copper at
the inner corners, and PS Velours wet as a liner, and then over top that,
L'Oreal Lovey Dovey Superliner. So those of you trying the new spring
shades... dig out your Winter L'Oreal stuff, and see what ideas you come up
with for using the two...

Yes, yes, yes!! I totally agree with this. I tried doing a very pale, pearly
liner ( Trucco Watercoulour in "In Pale" ) and I felt compelled to go back in
with the little Trish brush and darken up the lash line. I felt like I was
cheating! Glad to hear someone else does this , too.
