MAC Studio Finish Concealer in NW20
MAC Mineralize Skinfinish in Medium Plus
MAC Mineralize Skinfinish in Medium Dark

Eyes
MAC Eye Shadow in Wedge
MAC Eye Shadow in Saddle
MAC Liquid Eyeliner in Rapid Black

Mascara (I have tons, some MAC some not, all more or less the same IMO.)

Lips
Aquaphor (I do the eyes up so much I like to just moisturize my lips.)

Yayy another makeup thread!

Face
-Clinique 3 step
-Make Up Forever HD Primer
-MAC Studio fix
-Clinique super-blended loose powder
-Benefit erase paste
-MAC blush in gingerly

Eyes
-Urban decay perversion eyeliner
-Inglot gel eyeliner matte 77
-Mascara
*If I wear eyeshadow UD Primer potion +naked palette shadows*

Lips
-whatever nude lipstick I have, if I'm feeling lazy and down I might try a bold color

I'm actually trying to lay off the studio fix daily because its starting to feel heavy, but I just love the coverage I get with it! Any suggestions??

The studio fix is a thick creamy foundation, correct? I haven't ever tried it myself but I'm happy with just concealer and mineral foundation. It holds all day for me.

Face
~ Hard Candy Sheer Envy primer
~ Revlon PhotoReady foundation or
~ Revlon Colorstay foundation
~ Cover Girl pressed powder
~ Cover Girl Cheekers in Golden Pink
~ L'Oreal Infallible eyeshadow in Iced Latte (as highlight)

Eyes
~ Wet n Wild Walking on Eggshells palette or
~ Cover Girl Urban Basics palette or
~ ELF eyeshadow duo w/ bronze and darker brown shades (no name for it)
~ Maybelline Volume Express One by One mascara in Blackest Black
~ Avon Glimmersticks Diamonds eyeliner in Brown Sugar (if I use eyeliner)

Lips
~ Maybelline Baby Lips in Quenched (clear) or Cherry Me (pink)

Elf is some awesome makeup for being so cheap! Another great find is the Hard Candy line sold at Walmart.

Yup! It's perfect for a night out because it gives the flawless, matte finish and really absorbs oil but when you take your makeup off you really get a feel for how heavy it is. But I love it still...How are you liking the mineral skin finish?? I've been meaning to trying it but I have to finish my other stuff first. MAC makes me go broke!

Btw speaking of elf, anyone know if you can buy the elf eye transformer in stores?? I want it so badly! but I don't want to pay for shipping lol

I knew I was forgetting something!! I use the Hard Candy Sheer Envy face primer too. :D

Face:
Covergirl liquid to powder foundation in Ivory
Covergirl blush in deep plum, I believe
Covergirl pressed powder in ivory, in the blue container (for oily skin, I think)

Eyes:
Medium to light shade on the lid, darker in the crease, white on the brow. Color varies.
Covergirl perfect point plus eyeliner in espresso or Maybelline Define-a-Line liner in brown-black
Combo of Covergirl lash blast fusion and Maybelline Falsies mascara

Lips:
Baby lips? Baby soft? Either way, it's peach lip balm from Maybelline. Or Covergirl wetslicks in plum. or sometimes, just Blistex when I'm in a rush.

I LOVE makeup!

Face -
Philosophy The Present primer
Bare Escentuals summer bisque as concealer and all over lids
Bare Escentuals medium sunscreen, sometimes medium foundation and mineral veil

Eyes -
Urban Decay Sin primer potion
2-3 shades eye shadow - Bare Escentuals, Tarte, Stila are all in the rotation :D
Liner! Urban Decay 24/7 (again various shades), Bare Escentuals powder liner, Sephora waterproof, or the big chunky Tarte waterproof stick

Lips -
some sort of lip balm - I'm still searching for the perfect tinted lip balm with SPF. Until then, I have a collection of everything from $2 Carmex to $22 Fresh

Special occasion -
mascara and lipgloss or real lipstick

Ahhh I love makeup posts. I honestly don't wear makeup on a daily basis because I am in the same building for ten to eleven hours and it would make me crazy. I do love makeup and love doing it. My makeup changes depending on where I'm going and the colors I'm wearing, so there isn't a "everyday" color for me in any of the stuff I use. I am a huge Benefit fan, but also use a lot of MAC, Urban Decay, Stila, Smashbox, Dior, Too Faced and even a bit of NYX.

i have such a hard time keeping a makeup that i'm happy with and i'm too stubborn to go to ulta/sephora/the counter.


but here's my current:

monistat chafing relief powder gel when i have it & feel like using it, as a primer. i love a good bargain. and i ain't scared to put vag cream on my face..ahaha.
covergirl "clean" makeup for sensitive skin #220 creamy natural only the sensitive skin version of this is a wonderful light pink tone. perfect for me. covergirl natureluxe in "alabaster" was another one i liked, but it seemed to be breaking me out. :(
olay total effects dark circle minimizing brush
everyday minerals semi-matte base powder in "sandy fair"
almay smart shade cream blush in "natural"

eyes?

whatever mascara i can find in "brown" near impossible. i usually settle for "black-brown"

brows?

cover girl eye&brow makers in "soft brown"..somehow matches with my red hair because a lot of people are under the impression that this is my natural brow color. wrong. i'd like to find a brow pencil for redheads. considering buying online

lips?
balm. any balm. untinted. my lips are naturally rosy, so i find i don't need tint.



its funny to me to post what i use because i feel like i have no idea. i only use makeup to even out my skintone and give my cheeks some color. the mascara because my lashes are blonde and invisible. the brow pencil because my brows are blonde and invisible.

moisturizer(Loreal, Aloe Day cream from the body shop, sometimes shea butter) and lip gloss?

lol

skin: soap and water (except for my beard and moustache - then i use his schick razor and my raspberry-scented shaving foam intended for legs)

eyes: nothing

lips: nothing

eyebrows: nothing


now, if i WERE to wear makeup, it'd be:

skin - mineral foundation, touch of contouring to reshape my nose

eyes - liquid black eyeliner, black mascara

lips:
- cream foundation and concealer to wipe out my entire mouth and scar
- very dark lip liner to completely reshape my upper lip
- bottom lip - medium tone lipstick
- top lip: left side two shades lighter than right side (to bring the left side out more and push the right side back a bit and get them kind of looking equal)
- centre bottom lip - dab of silver glimmer gloss (pulls attention away from the top lip)
- sealer over everything


it can take me several tries and a good 20min or so to get my lips right.


now you know why i can't be arsed.

Oh I loved reading what products you ladies use. I'm not much for make up actually, I don't wear foundation at all, I just feel uncomfortable using it. I wash my face with a face gel I got at Sephora (their in house brand) and then apply my Vichy anti imperfections and anti wrinkles face cream, along with the Clinique rich eye cream. After that it's just:

-Coralista by Benefit blush
-High Beam by Benefit face iluminator
-Benefit Benetint lip stain (I just prefer a lip stain rather than a lipstick because it's lighter on the lips, doesn't feel sticky and lasts longer)
-whatever mascara is closest to me at that moment, lately it's been L'Oreal Volumissime.

oohh makeup !!! hehe

face stuff im not big on ... i dont like anything on my face i will claw at it ...

call me gross but i cannot wash my face i have a phobia of washing my face i splash water at it but cannot close my eyes to use soap ... i dont even close my eyes when i swim and trust me it burns.

lips ... well i lick them and hope for the best i dont like the feel of lipstick i do like lipstain if im going out though

eyes ... oh hello ...

eyeshadow primer by ELF
white chubby eye crayon in milk shade by NYX ( a base for color to go on brighter )
depending on how i feel some ridiculous color colaboration from the 120 eyeshadow pallet i have , if im feeling plain ill just dust on some lavender though it seems to be my go to color.

Face:
Mary Kay Tinted Moisterizer with spf 20
Mary Kay mineral powder
Mary Kay Shy Blush--love this color!
Any peach/coral tinted lip color. I'm very pale and this really helps make me look less pasty, but not clownlike. very natural!

hazahhh !!! another purple eyeshadow fan !!!


yayy for purple !!

My friend and I were discussing this...don't you find that the MAC shadows that are completely matte tend not to last as long? We have both found this. For example, I used to love Saddle as you mentioned above, but it would always dissapear into my crease. I replaced it with the almost identical shade "Antiqued" and it lasts all day.

Oh and the only mascara I have found to be truly different (and I try a different one every few months...) is Dior by Christian Dior. Expensive, but amazing!

My mother had the most beautiful intense makeup routine that I observed in awe as a child. As I've gotten older, my face is starting to look more like hers, and I find that I imitate a lot of the makeup she wore in the 90's. One thing I have always done that she did is using my lipstick/stain as my blush.

Face
A topical retinoid for wrinkles/acne at night
Jouer tinted moisturizer
L'oreal concealer/illuminator pen

Eyes
I define my brows with a brush dipped in a little Lancome brown shadow
Fiberwig mascara
I use the same shadow as a liner if I'm feeling fancy

Lips Besides a defined brow, this is where I go big
Just Bitten lipstain in Crave (deep berry)
or
Revlon lipstick in Siren, a beautiful orange
or
Nars Velvet lip pencil in Cruella, a true, matte red

I love dramatic lips with a practically nude eye, especially during the day. It makes me feel so distinct, and I love the ritual of pulling out my compact and reapplying lip color.

I had the same problem but when I was using Mac eyeshadow primer, but I switched to Urban decay's primer, not a problem anymore!! Trax is my absolute fav MAC eyeshadow, just glad the creasing is gone now :)

Btw are you talking about DiorShow?? I've heard so many good things about it but I can't justify the $$$ just yet lol, one day I might just shell out the money for it!

Anyone try Urban Decay's new eyeshadows??

Daily: Burts Bees mango lip balm. LOL.

Some days: Clinque quick corrector beneath my eyes and whatever else I need to cover up.

When I make an effort every few weeks or so: A tri-color blush from Aveda; black mascara from Clinque; some sort of lip gloss (I have a few I like).

I seriously need help with makeup. I have NO idea what to do with it, and every time I've had it done by someone else I feel like I look like a clown.

That's true, I have that primer (well a small sample size) and it does work amazingly well. The truth is though that my makeup routine is already SO INCREDIBLY TIME CONSUMING that I can't be bothered to add that extra step most of the time. I am one of those people that never leaves the house without makeup and when I go out for a 'night on the town' I do the works! I have the skillz, if I do say so myself LOL.

DiorShow IS amazing. The first time I used it I was taken aback by the largeness of the brush. But after a few times using it, I got the hang of it and it just gives better results than any other mascara. I tried cheaper big brush mascaras but they don't work as well so it must be the formula as well. But it is so expensive that I usually only get it for special occasions. I throw out any mascaras I have past 3 months of age. Lately I've been using the Great Lash cheapy after intenstively curling my eye lashes because its a good 'extremely cheap' option...but can't compete with Dior.

Beauty mags always give Covergirl mascaras all kind of awards which makes me try them again and they ALWAYS SUCK! I don't understand how they win these awards other than the magazines that give them those rewards probably rely heavily on their advertizing dollars. Okay rant over. lol.

I spend too much on makeup so now I'm trying to focus on just using the stuff I already have.

Hey if you like Clinique, you'll find their all about eyes concealar is a MUCH better concealar. I find that their other concealars just do not have enough pigment to get the job done right.

If you want to get better at makeup, now is the perfect time to get better at it! There are SO MANY AMAZING tutorials on youtube. Seriously, I could watch those videos for hours. Girls will post step by step how they achieve their makeup looks...it is great for learning new techniques. I even watch the drag queen tutorials when I'm feeling dramatic lol.

I wish I'd had youtube as a teenager. Would have saved me a lot of time and HORRIBLE looks lol. My mom NEVER wears makeup so I had to learn everything through trial and error on my own.

I totally do this!! I could spend hours doing makeup!!! It's like therapy for me! I've been using makeup as my "prizes" for every lbs I lose, so 5lbs lost $5 something, if i lose 10 lbs then i can spend $10! haha it's lame but when I go to sephora and see products I get motivated!

Oh and I agree covergirl sucks!! I'm using Supercurl by Urban Decay (90% of my makeup is UD) but I'm trying to explore now! it works great by lengthening and separating but it's just not enough volume! Guess I'll need to lose a good 40lbs before I can buy Diorshow. You know everyone seems to love Great Lash but I just can't get it to work for me...still looking for that cheap but awesome mascara!

I LOVE GOssmakeupartist!!! I will def check out L'oreal's mascara! Thanks!:)

Since I sell Avon, everything I use is Avon!

Really, though, I tried Beauti Control, because everyone I know loves it and it made my face BURN! L'Orael & Cover Girl make me itch.

My cleanser, however, is Clearisil Daily Face Wash. I used it in the 9th grade--when they first introduced it, and I use it now. It's the best.

This is not on daily basis but most of the time if I am meeting up with somebody or working.

Basics would be:

PRIMER - YSL Matte Touch Radiant Base (around the t-zone)
FOUNDATION - Chanel Perfection Lumiere (in 20 beige)
CONCEALER - MAC Studio Finish concealer (two colors for under eyes and highlights)
POWDER - Bobbi Brown pressed powder (in soft sand)
BLUSH - Chanel or MAC or Dior (various colors from pink to peach to orange-ish)
EYESHADOW - Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Cream Shadow (in beach bronze for most days)
MASCARA - Lancome Hypnôse Drama (I love love love it!)
LIPSTICK - Bobbi Brown creamy lipsticks or Lip Crayons, Chanel lipstick or lipgloss
LIPLINER - MAC, Bobbi Brown, Revlon, Japanese drugstore lipliners

I haven't had Avon products since my teenage days! :(
They used to sell good products, it is rare to find it here in Asia,
I remember we used to order it from a catalog.

OMG!! So I have had this question I've been meaning to ask someone who works for Avon for so long, and I keep forgetting to call my rep! My cousin in London uses this eyeliner called Avon supershock gel eyeliner it comes in a pencil form, not the pot but I can't seem to find it anywhere in the US!! Is it an Avon product only made in the UK??

You have a very fancy collection there!! How are the Chanel/Dior face products, those are two lines I never owned anything from but am dying to experiment with one day! Btw have you tried the YSL Rouge Volupte?? It's AMAZING.

i dont like the feeling of stuff on my face, not even lotion...it might be a sensory thing...i dont wear make up at all...ever...i have some concealer(?) not even sure that's what it's called, and i have eyeshadow, eyeliner, lipstick and powder...but i dont know what brands and i wear them so little that they are actually gathering dust in my bathroom...every once in awhile for a special occasion i will put some on but usually it bothers me enough that i will wash it off in the bathroom of wherever the event is at ....frankly i dont think i ever put on enough make up for it to make any difference in how i look anyhow lol

Sigh....I've been using Avon forever. I'm 36 (I know, not that old relatively speaking) and I remember when I was around 4 or 5; the "Avon lady" would drive around in the country and visit all the houses. It was always so exciting when she would come around and Granny would order the little fruit and candy flavored lip balms for us! I still love those--the smell of them takes me right back. . . .


I think you may be talking about this:

http://shop.avon.com/shop/product.aspx?pf_id=42326

I've never tried it--I always use the Glimmersticks, but you can check out ingredients and reviews. Good luck!
