Nars lip gloss - Turkish Delight. That is all.

I love wearing this on top of MAC's Angel. Makes it more of a nude.

I've learned quite a bit more by some online tutorials. I was always decent at makeup application but some of them have pretty good tips.

The only problem with online tutorials is I won't have the EXACT shade that the woman on MakeupGeek does...so guess who just HAS to go to MAC or Sephora all of a sudden?!

I've been cheap so far, I'll dig out whatever shade is closest, but I've accumulated quite a collection in the past year.

I never was one for big time makeup, but over the last year or two, um yeah...

I actually have people compliment me on my makeup now, as opposed to before when I would do the minimum and think it looked ok. I do recall getting the "you look like you don't have too much/any on, but that means you put it on right"

I use Nars Turkish Delight too It's the perfect shade of baby pink!

You like pink?

I should try this. I love the original colour, but I love a good nude shade

I need to check those out. I always seem to end up just doing the basics - eyeliner, mascara, blush - so I need to learn how to play..

Ok just saw new Bono pictures, I bet he knows how to work the liquid liner.

You know I was actually wondering what brand he uses, I mean it needs to stay put under the spotlights and all that jumping around. (And I'm totally serious. )

Probably Urban Decay - that shit NEVER comes off!

That's what I always used to do, too - basic shadow, liner, mascara, blush, but now I have an entire arsenal. And it's really helped in my shadow application.

And o ya - Bronzer is my friend again - I haven't used it in quite some time, or this entire winter, but just started using it again and wow, I look alive. I look ok naturally pale with some pops of color thanks to my blush and powder, but the bronzer REALLY makes a difference.

I'm still pissed I threw out my UD bronzer. That shit was expensive!!!!

I can't read through all of these pages but in case it hasn't been mentioned, there is a website called Makeup Geek and this woman posts a ton of video tutorials and basically kicks ass. She is responsible for my MAC and Sephora addiction however so be forewarned.

Thank you, I will check this out.

Ladies, I think one of you or several of you, should try the makeup challenge:

Makeup Geek � Look of the Week � Bright Blue and Yellow

That's the ugliest fucking thing I've ever seen.

Oh man, so I work at Kohls and I never realized what a great make-up counter we have until last night. I have to go make a credit card payment in a little while, and then I'm heading over there to pick some organic face cleanser and toner, and also this really gorgeous new lip gloss called "She-devil"

Come on! Do IT!

How about brushes?

Tips on buying those?

My annoyance when I apply eye shadow is that I always seem to have dust from the eye shadow fall outside of my eye which makes it look as if I have a black eye. How do I avoid this? I tap the brush to get the excess shadow off but it never seems to be enough.

I never knew Kohl's had makeup.

Tap the brush, put your foundation on last so that once you clean up the excess it won't mess up the rest of your look.

We do. And a lot of it is actually really good stuff, but the prices aren't bad at all. You should come visit me at work some day.

Haha! I know some of those tutorials are funny---I'd be sure to look for the Makeup 101 video she posts....much more "everyday"

Do you put on an eyelid primer of any kind before put on shadow? That helps a lot to catch the shadow on the lid where you want it. Urban Decay Primer Potion is popular and MAC also has alot of different shades of Paint Pots, some are flesh colored and some are not. I have about six of them. For example, I have a rustish colored one called Constructivist that I use underneath my brown shadows, makes the color pop and show much more and keeps my shadow from creasing and ending up on my cheeks.

I have brushes from everywhere, a couple from smashbox seem to be my favorite but that's probably the type more than the brand. I have a fairly cheap set from sephora that's been good. I've heard really good things (I think at Makeupalley) about the set at costco. It's a big set and the price is incredible.

If you dust powder underneath your eye it's supposed to catch eyeshadow then you just brush it all off once you're done.

victorias secret has great lip glosses too

You're not that far, maybe I will!

 

[MissVelvetDress_75]

I went to Ulta during lunch today and bought several of the Ulta brand eyeliners and lipstick that was on sale and had a coupon, which made the deal that much sweeter.

I will look at using primer or powder to help with the eyeshadow application.

thanks!

 

[MissVelvetDress_75]

If was daring enough, I would try one of those drag queen make up challenge.

 

[MooMoo!]

I have a hair quesiton I thought Id ask in here, since I cant be bothered making a thread for it.

My hair is layered at the moment, but it needs a trim, if I want it shortened (an inch or so), do I ask for a re-layer or just a trim? Im worried if it gets trimmed they'll litereally cut the ends off, so the layers will go weird.

Advice?

Those are nuts. I like to pile on the shadow, but I think mine is minimal enough without being over the top.

Some looks on some makeup sites - um, yeah, thanks but no thanks!

I think I have almost every color but I seem to use cherry bomb the most

Another thing I just found is this eye enhancer by paula dorf called baby eyes that is use to line the inner rim of the lower eyes - makes your eyes wider and less tired (something I'm now constantly serching for)

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

Yeah, definitely buying some more shadows and a gloss this weekend. My Stila Enchanting is down the the bottom.

 

[nurse chrissi]

so I just got back from Sephora - hit NARS and got the Turkish Delight lip gloss (very pretty) and the Dolce Vita lip gloss.

and a pretty shadow called baby girl




Now I've got to get my case studies done and hope that I don't kill anyone (fake patients) by writing the wrong scripts

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

I've got studying for midterms to do today, perfect since there's a frigging snowstorm outside (whiteout conditions while driving home from the gym ), but maybe once they're all over, I'll hit up Ulta for some new gloss.

Isn't it fantastic? I drove home from Meijer in it. I couldn't see 5 feet in front of me.
