lately ive been all about doing up the eyes


this shit rocks !!!





use with some of these...





and a little liquid liner....


what is your choice in make-up ?

i looooove mascara!!! loreal is my choice... but it has to be the straight brush... so pissed the last one i bought i accidentally bought the curved brush

For everyday I only use liner (black liquid) and maybe a little lipgloss. When I decide to have fun with things I sometiems go all out, but lipstick is by far my favorite product. Mac in particular.

This will go great with the new hair colour, do it, do it, do it

My eyelashes have gotten so thin.

I need some new mascara, but FORGET the torture device...I mean eyelash curler.

i lurve working on my eyemakeup

i use annabelle eyeshadow in dark brown, bronze and like a really light light shimmery brown, almost like a cappucino
and i use that from the brow bone down 2 the lid lol
but other than that i use BlackOpal foundation (shit 4 us beautiful black folks LOL )
it works really well

and then i use rimmel lip gloss in a cutesy pink

edit: oh and i use waterproof mascara by avon...no curler, it curls them 4 me

try that XXL mascara it works great

i have lots of lashes.. but, i was considering getting some for my mom, since hers arent so long on their own its worth the money to try it

and the torture thing you speak of ??? i cant imagine not curling my eyelashes... been doing it everyday for about 20 years now i can even do it while driving down the highway

Maybelline has the best mascara. Their classic Great Lash is good too. I'm not really into eye shadow....especially if it's above the crease. I love heavy eyeliner too, but not for everyday use. I hate lipstick, but I love tinted lipgloss and those Bonne Bell flavored ones.

nakedpianoplayer said:

yeah my eye lashes are kinda long and thick
an eyelash curler is a MUST for me ... WHEN i wear makeup

That impliment looks f*cking dangerous!


Being a man, I wouldn't wanna be around a pissed off female when she has one of THOSE in her hands ...I bet it curls more than just eyelashes.....

I dont use an eyelash curler :shivers:

daily I use mascara and eyeliner (always black)

I dont wear alot of makeup, I dont really feel the need for it, wehn I go out ill apply a little foundation and blush but thats about the extent of it

I have heard cabbage water is good for the skin

I went out last night and got some new makeup to!

I bought some new mascara (forgot to get the XXL, just got the stuff in the pink and green) AND some new eyeshadow.

Me!

I went out last night and got.....tipsy.
but I wore makeup while doing it.


racy rum runners are

i like this thread. alot of info. i don't wear makeup and i don't know what to buy. every few years i would by some cheap lipstick and where it on a special occasion like a graduation or something like that but as far as foundation, mascara, eyeliner, eyeshadow i don't have a clue....really sad

I use it for almost a year now and it's great

im no expert, but, heres my advice..

foundation can be tough sometimes, skin changes shades as the seasons do and i only use foundation during the winter months... during the spring, summer, and fall, i try to let my natural color come through more. if you really wanna know, the best way is to stop by a nice department store and ask one of the ladies behind the counter.... they are pretty good at picking out shades but, dont buy it then go to the grocery/drug store and pick one out there, they are a lot less expensive - and if you get a nice one there, theres no harm done at least you'll have an idea about the colors that would work best on you. dont put it on to heavy... to much foundation can really mess up even the best make-up work go for something that spreads evenly... i like this one... works great on me




dont forget a bit of powder.. nothing heavy - that just looks caked go for a loose powder, one that you can apply with a BIG BLUSH brush, it makes it look more natural in the end i think.

personally, i have to then use some bronzer... it just kinda wakes up my winter-white skin and brings out my eyes a bit but, to each his own...


mascara, it depends on what youre working with as far as your eyelashes go, and what you are looking to create. i like long, full lashes... you may just want to define thats really up to you... though that XXL mascara i posted above is FANTASTIC and i highly recommend it try to get used to the eyelash curler... they look scary, but, really its easy, and i think it gives the lashes a nice 'finished' look.

eyeliner... well, thats personal choice too. im not into all the color crap for this i stick with black, solid black, not soft black.. but, again, thats just me. liquid liner is harder to work with i think, but, its more defining in the end typically i do only the bottom with liner... though lately i have been experimenting with the top as well. if its done well, it can make your eyes look wider, and a bit brighter too.

blush... thats really important. the wrong color will look horrible. strange as it sounds, i do like the this kind...



its great for defining your cheekbones... also, a nice tip i got from a friend of mine... try using your blush brush with the middle tone for your eyes. use it mostly in the crease of your eyes. it goes on lightly, and adds a bit of color there when you dont want to spend forever with eyeshadows. if you do want eyeshadow... work with a few colors from the same family the deepest color should be in the crease of your eye. a lighter shade on the bone part, just under the eyebrow, and a medium shade on the lid - closest to the lashes. again, i see that bright blue and green are comming back again i think that looks like shit, but, i tend to try to keep things more neutral to each his own.



these big brushes are great... makes things a bit more natural looking i think.

lips... those are fun

its my personal belief that if you are doing a lot with your eyes, i tend to downplay my lips - just a simple gloss, or maybe a little shimmer. if you do both, sometimes it looks a bit much BUT, if im going out... i will do both as usually its nighttime and then the whole look has to change lipliner is wonderful.. make sure to grab some of that in a color that goes with your lipstick of choice, keeps things from bleeding

oh, while you are at the make-up counter in the department store, make sure to ask them what tones look best on you.. for me, its either browns, or a deep mauve. i like wine for my lip color either way.... brown doesnt do well on my lips

good luck, have fun and be womanly

lol yes....i'm gonna wait til everyone is out the house and practice

I've been comparing Maybeline XXL mascara & Revlon Lash Fantasy

I think I like Lash Fantasy better...but XXL is easier to take off
