Tete-A-Tint

We had some important people at my office today, so I made sure I looked polished. Tete-A-Tint certainly turned caramel-orange on me as opposed to caramel-brown. It was interesting working with all mattes.

    You definitely look polished! So unusual to see you in neutrals, but you manage to make even those seem interesting.
    How am I doing on de-lurking? ;-)

      Thank you! Quite fine, too :) And yeah I know it’s unusual for neutrals, but any time I need to look polished for work for super important meetings or conducting interviews, I reach for neutrals.

    Very pretty, tete-a-tint does look like a darkened orange but very pretty! You made that shadow look appealing to me, might have to check it out!

      Yeah, the color description says ‘caramel brown’ but it doesn’t come across that way on me. It’s on MAC’s goodbyes list, so it’s being discontinued. However, you can probably pick it up at a MAC store still.

      The formula is excellent, like all the matte2 shadows.

    You look great in this! I love your hair (even more now that you’ve washed and styled it and it’s not as flat as straight from the salon). That eyeshadow would look awful on me, but it works on you even if it’s way more orange than you initially thought.

    I have never been into terra cotta colors, but agree with the others that you really make the color work! Definitely loving the hair as well, the bangs especially are just a perfect length.

    • Phyrra January 12, 2011 at 10:19 pm #

      Thanks Cassy! I love the fringe, too.

      I think I’m going to try it for a pinup look :)

    The caramel/orange shadow looks good on you, especially paired with a lippie in the same color family. Yep, it’s already been said: you even manage to ROCK neutrals. *jealous*

    How do you like the Sobe gel liner? Now that I’ve seen you wear it, I’m thinking of ordering some. I like the shiny finish. Does it last without smearing? Is it easy to apply? Does it come with a brush? (I’ve never used a gel liner before.)

      I love it! You need to buy a brush for it. I recommend going to Target and getting the Sonia Kashuk Bent Eyeliner Brush. It’s fab.

    Wow, that’s such a sophisticated look! I love the little flash of gold with the UD eyeliner!

      Thank you Zillah!

    You definitely loo polished ;) The lid shade is actually very pretty, I don’t know if it looked much different in real life, but it’s pretty anyway :)

    You look ULTRA classy and sharp today, and I didn’t think you could get any chicer (that’s not a word but I’m making it one now)! I love how you framed that caramel-orange with the gray.

    • Phyrra January 16, 2011 at 12:07 pm #

      Woot! Thanks!

  13. LondonMUgirl January 13, 2011 at 4:36 am #

    Very smart and polished. Like Anastasia, I like the hair even more now you’ve styled it yourself and it’s got a little more body. Gorgeous cut.
