It took 15 products and 11 tools to do that look...

Jude C, I'm sure you could cut down on products/tools to make a look that is similar.

Haha, I noticed that too, Jude C...seems like a pretty basic look for all those products!

I do really like that Lancome palette they used though.

If David Bowie (possibly) uses it then I must, too, use it!

Neat!

I've been experimenting w/the vivid lipstick trend. I bought a clear lipliner, a coral shade & a hot pink shade from Revlon. I apply the lipstick with a lip brush so it doesn't come out too dark. I like the hot pink the best.

Omg bella- the woman on jack and jill looks amazing! I know you're a vegetarian too, and I wish I had the willpower for that. I eat pretty healthily but I still eat bread and cheese...this woman is inspiring me to cut that out...

^ I agree, Snowbunny! I've been considering going vegetarian for a little while now (I don't really eat meat anyway), but I might give the raw thing a try for a few weeks..

Advah- I love being a vegetarian, but it's so true you can be an unhealthy one! If I'm at work I sometimes end up getting pizza for lunch. I'm not sure I could go raw, but this does inspire me to try it, and to eat way less dairy and bread and way more fresh veggies and fruit! The woman on the site bella linked posted about another woman, whose transformation is even more incredible:

I'm 23 and I feel like this is the age you start to lose the advantage of youth and you really have to start taking care of yourself to be healthy and look great.

I think Judy C. would look better with a softer more natural look. She has a beautiful face and features, but the makeup looks harsh.

I suggest just focusing on skin care and using just a tiny bit of makeup. I know, hard for a beauty addict, but she just doesn't need it!

Uh, are you talking about me, sldc? 'Cause that's not me in my avatar, and I didn't actually do that look--was just commenting on how many supplies the tutorial says it requires.

Thanks for the link, Snowbunny, it is rather impressive!
Over the last couple of years I've paid a bit less attention to the quality of the food I'm eating, and I'm sure it really didn't help with how ill I've been for the last year and a half. I feel trying something like that for a few weeks would kick my a** back to cooking more!
