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.

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.
