For the ladies: makeup question

I love Clinique. have sensitive dry skin and I fnd their product really good for ths. I also love being able to try new products for free durng bonus time.

I don't wear a lot of makeup, but I love CoverGirl's LashBlast Volume Blasting Mascara...one tube lasts a while and it goes on really nice. Haha I'm 21 and I just starting wearing makeup. I had no idea how to do any of it until a year or so ago!

I have been using Revlon Colorstay Foundation since the early nineties. It really does have more staying power than other foundations I have tried. As far as other make-ups, I usually use whatever suits my fancy......I am looking to try the mineral foundation though. I have 2 friends who use it and their skin looks amazing when it is on - but very natural. Bare Essentials I think?

I LOVE Bare Escentuals


It's all I really wear(when I actually wear it)

Two words:
Bare Minerals.

It's amazing. You never think liquid foundation bothers you until you try this stuff. Plus, it has SPF built in. It's worth the money.

But mascara? I'll never use anything other than Voluminous. Ever.
(oh, and if it's not to pricey for your pocketbook, and if it's something that interests you, Latisse really DOES work! my lashes look amaaaaaazing!)

Good luck!

I use wet n wild and elf. They are cheap and they have great products.
Also I like cover girl mascara

Clinique, Covergirl, Neutrogena, Bare Minerals -- pretty much everyone is one of those brands.
I don't think one single brand exists where I like everything

I do not wear any makeup! It's a wonderful feeling.

I'm a covergirl girl! I love the mascara (brown-black is my shade, because brown is too light, black is too dark) and then the eyeliner has the smudge thing.. Awesome!

Go to sephora with some extra money, and go CRAZY

I LOVE that place, it's my heaven(if my heaven wasn't a restaurant)

loreal million lashes mascara is the bomb diggity. I have colour stay at the moment, but dont like the coverage as much as my rimmel match perfection.. and even that i'm fussy about. Struggling to find the perfect foundation!

I LOVE MAKEUP! I try all different kinds and am very particular. My foundation is Estee Lauder DoubleWear Light Coverage. With a makeup brush it is applied for perfectly. Then to set it I dust with Nuetrogena Mineral Foundation. Flawless, I mean flawless. AND LIGHT! Then blush, I use Estee Lauder but only cause I am a fussy one. I really think blush is where you can use a cheaper one. Um....I am obsessed with mascara and people are amazed my lashes are real. Invest in good foundation and mascara. I use Estee Lauder DoubleWear Mascara in More Black. I applies about 8-10 coats (and to be honest I always ask for a sample of their Sumptuous line and combine the two for both effects. I use Cover Girl eyeliner (black). I think you can cheap out here too. I only apply cover-up to the inside corners of my undereyes and use a good undereye cream so it blends naturally.

I have been experimenting with make-up for years and get compliments all the time from people. I think you really have to do your homework and experiment if you want to make it look good.

And always use a moisturizer with sunscreen to keep your youthfulness!

I really like hard candy. I get it at Walmart. It's reasonably priced. The tinted moisturizer is amazing. It doesn't look like a mask kwim? Just a little tint to even out your skin tone. The eye colors are fun. And their mascara is better than anything else I've tried at that price point. Their liquid eyeliner is the only one I've ever been able to get to go in straight. I used to use a lot of nyc products because of the price... But I find the hard candy brand looks nice all day and costs just a bit more.. I do still use nyc loose translucent powder if things get too shiny though.

i use all sorts of brands but find boujoir really good for my make-up, depending on the make-up ie eye liner mascara foundation ect but i no loreal mouse foundation made my skin react really badly and it went dry and flakey when i used it but atm i have rimmel 24hr and it's great and a cheap superdrug bronzer for my blusher (amazing) and a expensive victoria jackson for eye shadow and lip stick so it all depends on what works best for you, id try a few things out first and see what works best as everyones skin is different and what make work for one person may not work for another

HI! I am a makeup artist and in order to give you a true recommendation I would need to know your skin type (dry, oily, combination) but for pricier foundations I recommend NARS sheer glow for dry skin and NARS sheer matte for oily skin for more affordable drugstore foundations my number one recommended foundation is Revlon color stay they offer a range of colors dry/normal skin and a range of colors for oily/combination skin choose the kind for your skin type. If you want your foundation to last then use a large fluffy brush and lightly dust some translucent powder on top to set your foundation (best to do this after blush). For blushes, lipsticks, lipglosses, eyeshadows, etc. I recommend sticking to Revlon, Loreal, Rimmel, or Maybelline. I personally stay away from Covergirl, Covergirl may occasionally have some good mascaras but I find that the majority of their products are low quality and have low pigmentation. If you are willing to spend a little bit of money on some makeup and have a Sephora near you I would recommend going in and asking for some help finding a good foundation for you they have great employees and a great return policy if you get home and don't like the foundation a few days later. You also will have an easier time finding a matching color since there are testers of everything. I recommend buying a higher end foundation because with a good foundation all your other products don't matter as much.
