| Don't care for the reddish color on anyone! It really does makes a person look tired! I think neutrals would look good with your coloring. |

| im pretty fair so wearing neutral colors...particularly browns makes me look horrid. I love wearing vibrant colors on my eyes to bring them out..and im very happy that i can find them in mineral makeups. its funny because im fanatic on any red in my skin, though i dont think twice about wearing or putting red or pink on my eyes...just dont like it in my skin:/ |

I always thought that wearing red or certain shades of pink too close to one’s eye would make one look like one is suffering from pink-eye but after looking at PurpleTurtle’s pix, I have to revise my opinion and say that I guess ladies with certain skin and eye color can pull it off (i.e.: I don’t think it would work well on someone with very pale hair, eyes and lashes/brows for the above-named reason) and I admire your courage for trying something new.
I guess all that’s left to say is to remember that in all those fashion/beauty magazine do’s & don’ts columns, that they say when one is wearing very strong eye colors that the rest of the face should be done in neutrals so that your look doesn’t become overpowering. I’m thinking back to some of the looks we tried to pull off back in the 80s with heavy pink and purple eyeshadow and bright fuscha lips and have to agree that it always looks better to emphasize one or the other but not both at the same time unless you want to frighten small children and animals!!
Anyway, the point I’m trying to make is that those colors actually look very nice on you, so bravo!! |

carekate-
I definitely agree that some people cannot pull that off. I dye my hair, and darken my eyebrows (Which are naturally blonde), so if i didn't put the eyeliner on, darken the eyebrows or keep the rest of my hair up i would look a bit ugly with that shade of eyeshadow. I'm a bit of a follower of paula begoun (Paula's choice), but even she disagrees that being daring with shades is a good thing. If you can pull it off, that is great. But some people don't look right with it...on the other hand, if you do, it gives more courage to ladies out there to try something new:) |

Hi, Purpleturtle! I think your makeup looks deliberate (not tired) and sassy Stylized looks are fun.
I've learned a lot from Paula, even though I disagree with probably 50% of what she promotes. (Inadequate sunscreen protection; silicones are good for oily skin (NOT!); 80's-style, newcaster-ish heavy makeup application with unsophisticated color choices in her line; the list goes on.) But I do like that she has taught me to think critically about skin/makeup/beauty in general, and to make an effort to understand the ingredients list.
I do look like I have pink-eye if I wear pink eyeshadow!  |

I recently emailed cosmeticscop.com about a new edition of "Don't Go to the Cosmetics Counter..." and they said they are not publishing another edition, that you just have to subscribe to their e-newsletter for updates. So now I guess I'll go buy the old edition  |

| Wow...I think it's exotic looking.....very pretty for the right occasion. And, although I don't know you, your screen name and haircut give me the impression that you may be somewhat daring, bold, outgoing, individualistic, and this color fits your personality and sense of style. This shade somewhat reminds me of Chanel Fluid Iridescent eyeshadow in BAY, an orangish color, which I abosultely adore. |

I was actually wondering when she was going to come out with a new edition:( I have the latest one..my sister gave it to me for x-mas. I disagree with her as well on some topics...she does not seem very keen on mineral makeups..which, after trying them i absolutely could never go back to trying a liquid on my skin. eek! I just enjoy the ingredient list she puts in the back of the book and her knowledge of them. If i didnt have such sensitive skin i suppose it wouldnt matter as much; my skin has never looked better though  |

| Wow, I love that color! And what a great idea to take pics of it so we can all see what the results are! Maybe I will be inspired to post some of my own when my organic makeup company order arrives. |

Now I'm getting off topic . . .
Purpleturtle, I'm with you on the mineral makeups vs. Paula. Also she says that the SPF in liquid makeup is adequate sun protection - also recommends oily gals wear liquid makeup! And she seems to think that ALL essential oils are bad. Now, I do think that there are a LOT of EO's out there that are bad and that I don't want to put on my skin. But there are a FEW that are good - and it's absolutely infuriating when she writes in a review, "contains plant extracts which are potentially irritating" without telling us which ones so we can make an informed decision for ourselves.
I do love the ingredients list - I actually wrote to her company and asked if they could just publish the ingredients list so I could take it with me shopping, as there's no way I'm lugging that beast around. I'd look like even more of a geek . . .
But I have learned a lot from her books and website. I appreciate the research she does and her efforts to inform consumers about the industry and clinical evidence in general.
But I'm still holding out for a 7th edition! |

| She has never done an opinion on my sunscreen...skinceuticals physical SPF 30..which does have plant extracts...i get so paranoid thinking that they are bad for my skin because of her. But when i looked at them in her ingredient list, a lot of them were just used as thickeners..strange. I've read her section on sunscreen and am surprised she would consider an SPF in a foundation to be alright for protection. She knows that some sunscreens are photostable and some aren't...i think maybe she just doesnt push it as much as she should. But i think its imperative everyone should do research of their own on sunscreen. Not many people even know what a liberal amount is! Poor people.. |

I use the same sunscreen (until I can upgrade to one of BadBird's recommended imports!) It's way greasy, but the titanium/zinc is very soothing to my skin when it's reactive and flared up and angry red. No, she hasn't rated it - that's why we need a 7th ed, since there are so many new products always coming on the market!
I would also like to hear her reviews on the IS Clinical line (I requested a review via email!) - I know she'd have a few choice words about the Active Serum since it has menthol. Menthol is probably a very bad idea for hyper-sensitive skin like yours - but my kind of skin sensitivity is different from yours, and menthol is okay for me (while regular Cetaphil is bad for me, yet good for you.) She makes no differentiation between the different types of skin sensitivities when it comes to rating products, and that drives me nuts!
I understand she can't make skin-specific recommendations for each and every product - just wish she wouldn't make quite so many blanket statements. |

| What is your skin sensitivities? breakouts? The sunscreen is loaded with silicone and the titanium definitely together with that could cause someone with oilier skin to breakout. My skin works well with it; and i dont get nasty heat rashes like i did when i used sunscreen with avobenzone. Nothing sexier than coming home from a day in outside and seeing red patches all over your face! I've been dying to try sunscreens with better ingredients; unfortunately, i use mineral makeup and even if i didn't, i am very much afraid it would aggravate my skin. so im stuck with mineral sunscreens:( Hmm, you email her asking her for reviews? I should ask her what she thinks of the physical formula...thanks:)! |

| There is a function on her website where you can request a product review. No guarantees, of course. |

Wow! Purpleturtle -- you are all Gauthier catwalk and calendar girl! Your cheekbones are just magnificent!!....so much so that if I were you, I might be inclined to extend my brow slightly outward and upward (at least outward a bit more)....but just a bit... your eyes are just gorgeous and I think I'd be inclined to take advantage of your brows justa bit more (just so that they don't have to compete with those crowd-drawing cheekbones of yours!) At any rate, thanks for posting the pics - you are a gorgeous doll (I can't get over your bone structure!!) and I always appreciate getting to see pics of forum members!

Aww, thank you so much for the compliment pudoodles! I darken my eyebrows...and it was 8am in that picture..i was very tired..normally when i have more time i extend them outward more indeed. I used to be insecure about my bone structure until about 3 years ago...some people tell me i remind them of kirsten dunst, which im not sure how to take considering I don't find her all too attractive. They say i sound like her and when i smile the dimples and cheekbones remind them of her...erg  I will definitely take your advice and spend more time on defining my brows;-) |
