    beautiful as ever, Phyllis! i was wondering if youre wearing a circle lens contact, and if so, which one? the color looks natural but standout-ish!

  • Reply Rachel January 12, 2009 at 1:41 am

    I love this look! It’s so much nicer on you than Miss Duff with your dark hair ; ) I never thought about pairing bright purple with nude. I will definitely have to try it.

  • Reply Dave January 12, 2009 at 4:03 am

    Make up alone does not achieve this look. Miss Duff went under the knife, got botox injection on lips, etc.

    gorgeous as always,
    can you update your new skin regime? They’re so clear

  • Reply Karen January 12, 2009 at 11:03 am

    Great look!
    What contacts are you wearing? They look really nice 😀 Satin Taupe looks way nicer on you than on me… I looked I got punched in the eye when I wear it 🙁

  • Reply Phyllis January 12, 2009 at 11:26 am

    Thanks ladies =)

    I’m wearing Geo Tri-Color contacts in Brown. They are just like Freshlook’s Colorblends and not circle lenses.

    Hi Phyllis,

    can you tell us the makeup tools and brushes that you used to achieve the look? Is it better to apply foundation with a brush or sponge or by fingers? Do we need different brushes to apply eyeshadows? Thanks.

    wow!! love this look!! you look so amazing in all your FOTDs.
    btw, chanel pro lumiere #10 limpide? weren’t you a MAC NC30 before?
    your skin must have lightened during the colder season.

  • Reply Phyllis January 13, 2009 at 9:41 am

    Lovely, when it comes to eyeshadow application, unless you are just doing a wash, I highly recommend using a brush. Not only does it help blend everything evenly, it gives you more precision.

    For this FOTD, I used:

    MAC #239 Eye Shading Brush to apply the Gingersoft eyeshadow
    MAC #219 Pencil Brush to apply the Satin Taupe eyeshadow onto the crease and blended it with MAC #217 Blending Brush
    Small eyeshadow brush by Sonia Kashuk to apply the Violet pigment under the eye

    As for foundation and concealer, I use both a brush and my fingers.

  • Reply Phyllis January 13, 2009 at 9:43 am

    Bec, yes I use #10 Limpide for the Pro Lumiere. I’m normally a #20 Clair for Chanel foundations but the Pro Lumiere runs slightly darker.

    Thank you so much Phyllis! You answered exactly what I wanted to know

  • Reply Jenny January 14, 2009 at 9:19 pm

    wow, this is so gorgeous!!!

  • Reply Tina January 22, 2009 at 7:42 pm

    u look stunning. i am trying this look tomorrow night 🙂 do you think i should wet the purple eyeshadow before applying it?

  • Reply Phyllis January 23, 2009 at 11:14 am

    Yes Tina, you should definitely apply the pigment wet so the color stays vibrant.

  • Reply bchan January 27, 2009 at 5:46 pm

    yeah…gosh…you might as well be on the mag yourself XDDDD…i think the purple looks better on you…

  • Reply Phyllis January 30, 2009 at 4:37 pm

    Thanks again. You guys are too kind =)
