BEST Makeup! Need any advice? ASK ME!!!!!

...hi! i am 20 and have worn make-up here and there for years but just recently started really getting into it. i have a fair-olivy skin tone and would like to know what i could use to cover dark circles and scars, and a want to get a tinted moisturizer (never been big on foundation), but how do i apply it with out taking away what is covering up my circles and scars? and the skin around my nose peels a lot even though i use lotion. please help and thanks!

I have recently started spending the money to get some good quality makeup products, and I looooveee Estee Lauder's Ideal Matte Refinishing Makeup with SPF8.  It goes on really smooth, and has a nice matte like finish, but not too cakey or fake looking at all. I have combination skin with slightly larger pores, and it doesn't dry out my face or make it oily, lasts the whole day, and minimizes my pores. Plus it's oil free.  I also use Aero Matte Ultralucent Pressed Powder, which has a light matte finish and goes on really nice.
They are kind of pricey, but definitely worth it in the end if you have problem skin.

Also, I am loving Lise Watier's makeup, they go on so smooth, and rich, and there is so many nice colours.  You have to check out her new Oceane line, I would have never thought blue could look good without looking too retro, but the colours are just amazing. I really love the eyeliners and the new powder dip eyeshadow. The prices aren't as pricey as Lancome or Estee Lauder, so it's a bit more affordable.  Plus they make amazing makeup brushes as well, really soft and durable!!

This is a picture of the new Oceane line from Lise Watier:

Now, it kind of looks a bit more green in this picture, but I guess it all also depends on what shade you want to use. I used all of the blue myself and it looked amazing. and got lot's of compliments on it.

I also recommend L'Oreal Voluminous mascara for people who want really think and full lashes. My lashes are pretty short and thin, and it just does wonders for them. I wouldn't switch to anything else, plus it's only around $7.00!

A really nice blush is also called Golden Pink by the Body Shop. It's a really nice pink with a bit of a shimmer to it, looks amazing on.

A group of us made some delicious tasting lip gloss this morning.

We took 2 tbsp of crisco shortening, and a package of kool - aid. Stired it up. Popped it into the mic till liquidy. Then poured it into film canisters. Tossed it in the frig. Oh maybe 15 or 20 mins. We weren't counting Tooooo busy. Then put it on our lips. Yum - Yum. Then we got a thinking. This would be great for party favors.

Cheaper than the stores.

Just thought I'd share it with you.     

Were always doing something crazy.

 Keeps us young, and sane!

Sorry I forgot one. Brighter eyes. Take and heat an eye curler with a blow dryer. Now squeeze the lases. Then apply the mascara.

I heard using white eyliner under your eyes makes them appear bigger I haven't tried it yet though

Oh I forgot one thing, I do have this tinted glow foundation but it doesnt cover very well....i only use it in the summer but it doesnt give the same effect as regular foundation, I mean I know its not suppose to but my regular foundation makes me look awak and good but this stuff just made me look a little dull and orange lol. I can only pull it off with a tan on my face.

Hi Jess

I am a guy very new i.t.o makeup and i am really struggling finding the right colour base makeup for my skin. I also need some help shaping my eye brows and getting the right makeup for my complexion and hair colour. I have chin length brown hair currently in an inverted bob. Can you help???!!

Yeah, I decided to get Physician's Formula.  I have tan skin and I got the bronzer (Mineral wear) and the concealer duo.  The makeup is the best brand I've bought from the store (compared to revlon, covergirl).  Also I have acne prone skin and I see an improvement with this makeup along with having Proactive.  I want Bareminerals, but the price is too high for me (college student), though, Physician's in my opinion is the next best thing for an affordable price and easy access. 

I wear Physician's Formula and also use their bronzer. It's very good in my opinion. It also has built in sunscreen.

Not the oringial poster, but you can get most of this at www.sephora.com

1. Dermalogica tinted lotion with SPF15 (only one not sure about)
2. Bareminerals foundation (can combine several colors) (sephora around 30 bucks
3. Bareminerals blush (around 20 bucks
4. Revlon Skinlights face illuminator (drugstore --  10.00)

5. Mineral Vail (spelt veil I think) and is also made by Bareminerals is 30 dollars

 

I would definitely recommend the bareminerals collection.  Great product that is great for your skin.  Not fond of Revlon Skinlights...I really like Smashboxes face illuminator (more pricey but definitely a better product)
