TIP: Wear some fucking makeup. I see sooooooo many young women these days wearing NOTHING and they look horrible. Sunken eyes, blotchy skin...pleaaaaaaase take $150 over to MAC and get them to fix you up with some basic product and basic skills so you don't look like an amish woman 24/7.

Another tip: Get a freaking tan. Some of you look BRILLIANT with your naturally gorgeous pale skin and I salute you. In fact, I will go as far as to say I am a little bit jealous of you. Then, there are those of us who look washed out and blotchy without a tan. Just a LITTLE glow will make you look 100x better. Real tan, bed tan, or completely fake tan, I don't care, just get a little bit of one, ok? Thanks.

I'm sorry but real tanning or fake tanning will wrinkle you more than pulling your eyelid slightly to apply make up.

Not true.
Burning is the real issue here. A bit of a tan is GOOD for your skin.
Straight from my dermatologist's mouth! Gooooo Vitamin D!

okay! questions to the pros..

i like the mac studio fix because it is extremly easy to apply and has high coverage. for a fraction of the price sephora has something similiar and i love it just as much and due to the price maybe even more. unfortunately the mac fix makes me break out more than usual (high coverage...consequences..fair enough), anyone suggest other brands that carry a similar product? im not a big fan of liquid foundation because it makes my skin feel oily and it usually wears off pretty fast..and it is messy to put on.

im thinking brands like prescriptives, lancome... not too sure. i have acne prone skin/combo skin.

more of what im asking... WHAT IS IN YOUR ESSENTIAL MAKE UP BAG?

eyeliner.. ive tried MANY different eyeliners and right now by far my favorite is the make up forever pencil liner. I can wear it all day long and it wont smudge, easy application, doesnt wear off...and contact lense friendly. $16 at sephora..best eyeliner ive bought for sure.

^ I have the same problem you have Bev... I cant wear most foundations they make me break out.

if you have found products that you love, and they work for you, DONT CHANGE THEM. it can be a $3 liner from london drugs off the sale table. make up is so fickle, why change something that is broken?

my essential kit consists of - two different shades of studio fix, hyper real powder, lancome under eye concealer with an spf, one liquid liner in goldy/greeny/brown color, a pallete of six small shadows from a mac holiday set and brow and lash mascara.

i really am starting to hate mac though, and am slowly coming out of my standard go to. sephora is a great line, so is benefit, prescriptives and clinique. another fave is smashbox and if you watch the home shopping channel you can get better deals there then in retail stores.

if you are having problems with breaking out, i recommend prescriptives. they not only craft a color for you on the spot, all of their products are hypo-allergenic and this should reduce irritation.

if you want cheap, marcelle has a good over the counter powder that has the same qualities that studio fix has.

also, a lot of mac is hypo-allergenic, but i hear many people complain about their products reacting with their skin.

why is it when i put on my eye liner a few hours later my eyes are are bloodshot and burn. sometimes with eye shadow get a rash!

[Phrenetic]

im being serious! you seem to be sexist in the make-up department. guys can wear it too! i was asking for your advice and you snubbed me away like every other time.

[Ms.Tarantula]

if you dont want to be ridiculed and patronized for everything you say then find another board to post on cause thats all that goes on around here.

TRY and make it a LITTLE funny at least, idiot.

Could be a number of things...

-the makeup could be old
-the makeup could have things you're allergic/sensative to (I have friends who can't wear blue shades bc the minerals in them irritate their skin)
-you might be somehow getting the product into your eyes
-i don't know

I live by my Benefit some kind a wonderful compact and bad gal mascara. The rest of my makeup is either Lise Watier (eye shadows and bronzers. as well as moisturizers) or the limited Dior Palettes from Sephora for eyes, cheeks and lips. My makeup bag is pretty small and basic.

My other new Sephora staples are their tiny nail polishes, Comptoir Sud Pacifique Fragrances, and Benefit eye makeup remover.

Sephora happened last month and will most def. happen again in NY.

Running out the door, but will later report my essentials =)

I have become addicted to Benefit, specially Bad Gal ( I am currently on a waitlist for it out of Langley) Ugh, and I have thier eye contour kit with me at all times. I have had problems in the past with break outs so I use a pretty harsh face cleansing routine and found that a lot of foundation were drying my skin out even more. I recently switched to Estee Lauder's individualist foundation and its awesome. Really light and provides just enough coverage to even out my skin tone. Also it doesnt react with my cleanser so I dont have problems with it drying out my skin

[Lush]

Makeup Bag essentials:

Basics: Cetaphil face wash (I use it as makeup remover as well, it's gentle enough on my skin that it doesn't cause irritation), Cetaphil moisturizer (I wear it every single day)

foundation - Revlon New Complexion one-step compact makeup in tender peach (I know you ladies complained about breaking out with foundation and trust me I've tried virtually every single one on the market but this one NEVER makes me break out and i've sworn by it for over 2 years now).

Mascara - Maybelline Great lash with the curved brush, sometimes I'll wear Loreal 's Double Extend mascara

Blush - Clinique

Bronzer - Quo (best bronzer EVER, just the right amount of shimmer and it works great if you dust some onto your collar bone as well)

Lipgloss - Mac 'Lust' or 'Nymphette' or 'Viva Glam V'

Lip Liner - Rimmel in Tiramisu

I wear liquid eyeliner and eyeshadow on special occasions and in those cases I'll go with whatever. I have an amazing set of cream eyeshadows from Revlon though and they're pretty great.

I just bought this from Sephora recently too and it's a great!

duuuuuuuuuuuuude the bay guilford has it if not the bay @ granville..

ps ive been using benefit since before they started selling in canada its probaby my favourite brand. :love:

[Puddle<3]

thanks! I new the bay carried it I just didnt know where. I am seriously running low right now. Since I am in abby its almost faster to bomb down to the states and pick it up but I hate the boarder hastle

Basics: Spectro Gel Cleanser is really great on your skin, I almost never break out nowadays. Tweezerman has this awesome tool for blackheads and whiteheads.

Face: I don't wear foundation anymore and have found my skin to be a lot healthier. Instead, I wear a tinted hypo-allergenic moisturizer with SPF 15 and Estee Lauder's 'Double Wear' Powder and concealer. I also put on M.A.C.'s Prep + Prime base primer.

Eyes: I'm partial to Christian Dior, Lancome and M.A.C. eyeshadows. Mac's Fluid line for eyeliner. Sephora's heated eyelash curler and Estee Lauder's Projectionist Mascara.

Make Up Remover: I swear by Estee Lauder's 'Take It Away' Total Makeup Remover. It actually breaks down the make up and leaves your skin feeling clean - it's great for long wear and waterproof makeup. I have tried going back to other make up removers and it just doesn't do it anymore.

Maybe they are just comfortable in their own skin, maybe they are the one's we need to listen to...blochy or not....the air is hitting THEM.....in the flesh...and that is a freaking beautiful thing, and a rarety on this planet. I cover my skin sometimes, dont enjoy it much. I admire those, who dwell natural....and are comfortable in their ultimate being 24/7....It always fascinates me how beauty resonates so differently all over the world.
to each their own.
