JustErin said:

I've read great reviews on Diorshow mascara, I may try this

veronikka said:

yeah im gonna need to try that too!

insatiable3 said:

Their fragrances are also really fantastic. "Grace" is my all-time favorite.

Genesia said:

You should try the eye pallettes from Yves St. Laurent, also quite gorgeous

DesireeNevermind said:

Girl, YOU REMEMBER THAT PENCIL??!!!!

What the hell was she thinking discontinuing that

I still bitch and moan about that pencil today, every time I go to pick up other stuff from Bobbie Brown. Those poor sales artists are probably so happy to see the back of my head once my purchase is done, I almost feel sorry for them with all the whining I put them through

Ottensen said:

Yep. She fucked up on that one.

Another line was rocking the jumbo lip liner pencil around that time and now no one seems to make it. All we get are these skinny pencils that look like eye liners and you have to keep sharpening them. UGH!!! Thank god for matte lipstick - I never wear a liner with it.

Cover Girl

MUFE- NYX-

NYX looks like an awesome line. I was just on their site.
I wasn't aware of them until Drag Race.

johnart said:

yeah they seem to have a lot of bright colors they look like they have some neat things

insatiable3 said:

Did you see the sparkle liners?

It's a good thing I'm not in the drag business anymore. I'd be going broke.

johnart said:

I know I love that kinda stuff and there pigments look pretty cool too!

can anyone recommend a good foundation for a guy with pale skin? im serious btw

I would go with mac mineral foundation I'm guessing you would be like a nc 20 nw 20 if your really pale if your fair a nc 23 or nw 23 I truly love it very good coverage and it doesnt look like you have anything on your face! hope this helps!

booty said:

Still (after how many years?) the #1 mascara of make-up artists.

dance4me3121 said:

What are you trying to cover? (Serious question.)

If you're just pale and trying to give yourself a little color (as opposed to needing to cover scars or blemishes), the best thing might be to start with a tinted moisturizer and then use a touch of bronzer. Because it's lighter in consistency, a tinted moisturizer will be easier to blend - which is always the hardest part of using foundation.

For my money, the best tinted moisturizer is Laura Mercier. It gives decent coverage (especially for something that isn't a true foundation) and goes on evenly (which is another hugely tricky thing with foundation).

The other thing to try is, if you already have a facial moisturizer you like, find a foundation in a color that works for you and just blend a few drops with your own moisturizer. The reason I suggest this is that most foundations are formulated to work on women's skin. Men's skin is thicker and tends to be oilier. So getting the right foundation may be more difficult.

I just bought this concealer for Erin. It's the make-up line that she uses.



I've also bought these (under her direction of course):













She loves them, that's about as much as I know.

Iman. Her stuff is all earth based in the coloring. Her pinks even have a little brownish earth colors in the base I LOVE it. Her foundation is the best. It has great coverage. The only drawback is that I cannot find foundation for my color. Because of her name, most retailers assume that it is a "Black" cosmetic line but it is not. So I can never find the foundation anymore. UFF

Otherwise Urban Decay and Mac are great. I used to buy cheap shit and use eyshadow primer to make it stay, but there's nothing like mac eyeshadow. It goes no where.

Iman's Luxury pressed powder in Sand Light was the best quality and absolute best colour match I've ever bought. I can't find it anymore.

JuliePurplehead said:

You are so awesome! I use cover girl too!

JustErin said:

That's the same color I use! When I could find it. I will search and we will find our foundation!

JustErin said:

Nars
Chanel
YSL
Givenchy
Smashbox
Fresh

I guess those are the brands I am using lately.

booty said:

I use L'Oreal Voluminous. Have been using it since 1994. Sometimes I switch, but I always go back. Even the expensive stuff can't hold a candle to this.

Also, when buying stuff from the drugstore I ALWAYS use a coupon. So I wait till the stuff is on sale like buy one get one free plus the coupon. A sister's gotta budget, honey!
