when i apply foundation i use a very light tone (being a guy) of my whole eye lid. i go and experiment till you cant tell where the color starts or begins. i then brush to get rid of the dust.

thats usually where it stops.

if i want to go a little more crazier i use a light tone for eyeliner, usually only the top lids or the outer corners to brighten my eyes

I agree. Benefit's Bad Gal Lash or YSL at Holt Renfrew are my favs.

I used to be a big Bad Gal fan, but now not so much. I found it really clumpy,and I also prefer waterproof. I swear by my $3.99 on sale Maybeline great lash waterproof. However, with my new job I might wanna get more glammed up (I'm usually pretty casual) and I may become a Bad Gal girl again.

I love Maybelline's Full N' Soft and the new Define-A-Lash mascaras.

you can get the top selling benefit products at shoppers. (i get them at the davie location) they have bad gal usually in stock.

[Segued]

screw make up brushes invest in some paint brushes, maybe some canvas, n spend the prenuptial face paint time/ money on some real art.


YES I'm a bit of a hypocrite...so sue me.

[Segued]

p.s
I pretty much only get MAC as it's the best quality (in my opinion) .

My makeup routine/must haves:
Cetaphil cleanser (mutli purpose, and perfect if you have very sensitive skin)

Lancome spf 30 moisturizer (best wrinkle prevention is a daily spf, and this is the highest one I've found available that doesn't clog pores or feel greasy)

Laura Geller spackle primer - this primer gives skin a
hint of glow rather than a matte finish (if I worked a day job I would probably prefer the matte look though)

Bare Minerals spf 15 foundation (from Bare Escentuals)- goes on flawlessly and makes skin look AMAZING! My sister just got it, and she too is in love with it. If there is only one product that I could recommend, this is it.

either The Balm's Hot Mama (for day) or Bare Mineral's all over face colour in Pure Radiance (for night) as blush

eyeshadows - my absolute faves are MAC, but I also use a few shades from a Pupa heart shaped compact

eyeliner - instead of actual eye liner, I line my eyes with MAC eyeshadow in Carbon using a very small angled brush for a slightly softer effect

mascara - Bare Escentuals' Big Tease (no clumps thanks to the special brush that has one side longer than the others)

lipgloss - Bare Escentuals' Buxom Lips in Dolly (plumping, shiny, subtle hint of plum colour and they leave your lips feeling tingly!)

Kind of all over the map yes, but a lot of my picks are from trial and error (and a sister who used to have makeup case more like a toy box). And I'm also currently cut off from Sephora.


...Oh and can anyone recommend a good lip stain that isn't in liquid form? I was going to pick up the Benetint pocket pal until I managed to get it all over my hands by just opening the tester, so instead I got the gloss but it isn't an intense enough colour. Any suggestions of a happy medium?

I have really dry skin so I appreciate that it's light, compared to some primers I've used before. I think is meant for people with oilier skin (to help make matte) but I like it and how it works with my dry skin too (not heavy).

I've had those before, except mine stayed for like 4 weeks - 6 weeks. It really depending on how well you take care of them. Don't use any oil based products around your eye because it breaks down the glue. No mascara either. I got mine done at Mondo Spa, it was about $50?

[ash1ee]

between Kiehls and Fresh I picked up a whole new load of face goodies and perfume etc, on vacay. so happy with them.

Welcome to the world of Fresh

I was think that this thread needs a revival. I think it was going in a good direction, though. We should post pictures of the looks and products (and links!) we are talking about. I'll start.

Depending on complexion and hair colour, many times I have not been able to wear my gray shades on my eyes without looking washed out. But I tried them last night, and who knew?! They actually look pretty good. It's hard to see the blending in this pic, but you can see overall effect. I tried taking closer shots of the lid, but there was too much light.

(Pls don't mind my fake smile. Look at the EYES!)

For those curious, I used (all MAC):

Brule - Lid to brow
Crystal - Lid
Greystone (Ltd/discont'd?) - Outter corners/crease
Idol Eyes - Inner corner/lid
Anti-establishment (Ltd) - Lash line (top/bottom)
Sensibility (Ltd) - Highlight (brow)

Oh yes. And sparkles on boobs. Always.

[Lush]

I've been wearing fake eyelashes out lately and they look pretty awesome but I'm considering getting eyelash extensions now from Wink.

I'll post pictures when I get them done, a bunch of my coworkers had them done last year and they said they looked amazing.

I think the process costs roughly $75 and then you can get fills every 2-3 weeks for $20

[veN]

^ I was looking at them today too (online). Looks neat!
