Make up addicts

humblemonkey - Liquid liner is quite tricky. The main tip...don't rush it. Go slower than you think you need to, and with the lightest pressure possible. It is so much easier to build up the line than to make it thinner.

I love my makeup. Not sure if it's ok to mention here (I don't want to get kicked off MFP!!!) but I sell some on the side for a company that starts with A and ends in N. I'm my own best customer! Love that I get to try everything new at a discount. Hahaha. Cream to powder eyeshadows are really awesome. Eyeshadow is by far my favorite. You can combine so many different colors!

I sell for the same company, and I am quickly becoming my own best customer.

I rarely, if ever, wore makeup before I started with them.

i sell avon just so i can make money to spend on more makeup with my discount.

Thanks for the link nolachick!

I'm addicted to lip gloss... Other than that, I never wear any make up. I guess it's the tom boy in me lol

lol

I love lipstick... everything else, I don't care about!

I'm actually 20 years old and only just wanting twith make up. If anyone wants to give a beginner some tips

* to experiment with

check out emilynoel on youtube...she has some great tutorials on how to apply makeup and sme good products to use. shes always doing reviews of products and such...or look back on this thread and u can see reviews of a bunch of products!

i SWEAR i am the only girl in this world who DOESNT use liquid liner. i can never get it right!!!

No, you aren't!! I don't wear it either. I tried once but it didn't work out very well lol... although that was almost 5 years ago and at that time I was just learning how to put on makeup (I was a tomboy & pretty much refused to wear makeup until then) so that could have something to do with it!

Anyways.. I am pretty much addicted to my makeup! I can go out without it but that's only on quick trips to the grocery store or to the gym.. I HAVE TO have it if I'm going out for fun! I wear clinique makeup mostly but that's because their foundation is the only one I've tried so far that doesn't make me break out!

I can't do the liquid either! I end up looking like my kids drew it on me! I'm better off with a pencil and my fingertip to smudge it a little for a softer look.

This thread is me! A make up addict that is - I love, love, love finding new (to me anyways) make up / tools, lol! At the moment I am waiting on the Sigma F50 and F82 - I have the MAC 227 alredy so I know I am going to love the F50 (which I'm going to be using more as a face/highlight brush than for eyes - hence the dupe) - plus I have seen great reviews on the new kabuki brush set from Sigma (so F82 is the first in this line for me) !!

I mainly love MAC for colour selections and wow factor (eyeshadow / blush) and try to use more skin friendly tinted moisturisers for a daily base, and some estee lauder foundation / highlighter when I'm going out!!

I'll definately be keeping an eye on this thread for future purchase reference (I also use make up alley.com for info / review! )

lol - I have only just thought of finding a make up thread here! Being in the UK we don't have Sephora (which sucks) - but I am soon moving to Geneva and I know they have Sephora over there (or at least in France), so looking forward to having a browse through there stuff. Last time I went in one (I think in Aix en Provance, France) I was just looking for some basic clinique and had the BF in tow so didnt have time to ogle anything else! I dont know about you - but makeup shopping with men is worse than clothes shopping - at least they have an idea of what looks good with clothes, but having never tried makeup my BF can't contribute anything and gets very easily bored when I'm browsing, lol!

Currently living down in Cornwall I am only near Benefit and clinique counters (no MAC - bummer!) - but as I said this is all going to change when I move next month, yay ! I have one lip tint, the Max Factor lipfinity tint in berry burst - which I though would be similar the benefit 'rosie' - but has absolutely NO staying power - I lick my lips and the 'tint' comes off!! I think they were probably afraid of people complaining about staining, but seriously - its a sweet colour and has a nice smell / taste (when you lick you lips, lol) - but I wouldnt waste your cash! Other things I am loving at the moment is coral lipstick and nail polish - I have L'oreal 'Magnetic Coral' which I use lightly with a clear gloss - it looks great ! and Max Factor Hot Salsa naiil polish - which is great with a tan

I'll let you know how the new brushes work out !

nolachick - I'm going to have to check out the Sephora stain you were talking about! And talk about the love for Wet n Wild - I'm wearing Comfort Zone today! I absolutely love that palette. All of the Color Icon palettes I have I totally love. I need to get Petal Pusher still, and I'm bummed that I let myself forget about Rite Aid's sale last week. D'oh! If you ever spot an ULTA coupon that's allowed on prestige cosmetics can you send a signal flare my way? I'm always wanting to use that discount on Urban Decay or something, and it is restricted. But one good thing to remember is that those discount coupons are good on the nail polish brands (even OPI)!

Sarah - I always hear about the Sigma brushes and how great they are. I don't own any fancy brushes, so I'm looking forward to living vicariously through your new precious.

craftylatvian - Eye makeup picture, lady! Now! :P



Sooo my most recent makeup purchases:

MAC blush in Well Dressed - I love it. This is my first MAC blush. I've been on a hunt for a light pink blush and I found this color while watching Kate Middleton makeup tutorials on YouTube (speaking of, anyone watch Kandee Johnson? I can't remember if she was mentioned before but she's ridiculously effervescent). I found it for $15 on Amazon and I'm so glad I got it.

CoverGirl Cheekers in Plumberry Glow and Natural Twinkle. I got Plumberry because it is one that Emily Noel likes a lot. I thought they were on sale at RA today, but it turns out they weren't. I still used a $2.50/2 coupon on them and they were $4.39 each, so I'm OK with how it turned out. I only swatched them on the back of my hand and I think they're both very pretty color. I'm more entranced with Natural Twinkle, but that is probably because I can see the shimmer and I'm addicted to anything shimmery and shiny. :laugh: And talk about memory lane, as soon as I smelled the blush I got flashbacks to high school. I wanted to be like all the other girls and even though I had nice Merle Norman makeup, I had to have a CoverGirl compact to carry around with me. :laugh: Oh, peer pressure!
