to look purty....

I don't wear makeup.

Me neither

But that Benefit thing works really well. Used it a lot during photoshoots.

Erase Paste from Benefit is amazing, but beware if you use mineral makeup, which I've found tends to settle weirdly on top of this stuff. Beyond that, it's a great concealer for spots - covers them up and diffuses light to brighten your skin.

Simply Ageless, that stuff Ellen DeGeneres is currently the face of, works great for evening out the skintone under my eyes and on the sides of my nose.

I use Cover Girl Aquasmooth. I have a hard time with concealers/foundations because I'm so fair skinned. I'm thinking of trying the L'oreal True Match since that is what Dita Von Teese wears and she is very pale. I figure if they have a match for her vampiric skin, they'll have a match for mine.

I don't, just use a little pressed powder on my nose and eyelids.

I don't use concealer on my face.

HOWEVER; this covers hickies like there's no tomorrow... so it would probably work for those who need it on the face too.

i was at the mac counter a while back lookin for as concealer but i felt it didn't hide them well, how many do they have? maybe they don't have the same products as they do in the USA

Think I might do the same.

I have a Clearasil stick that I bought six years ago and that I use to cover up pimples if I have them. Or to cover up the scars that I get if I squeeze them too early.

I'm getting that TODAY. The cheap little Covergirl coverup I use now doesn't really cover hickies that well.

I don't ...not an every day thing for me, only time is when i go out...some where nice, which is hardily ever...... i have lots of good comments from people about my skin, and i think it's because i don't use stuff like that every day.

Same here... The skin cant breathe covered in tons of stuff! After I finish my eyeshadow and blush, I do a light dusting with powder...

Well, you do have a point. Heavy make-up can never be too good for one's skin, although there are also some sophistically developed powders and similar products that actually protect the skin. They're not like make-up used to be, not as "heavy". That is a very powerul industry!

However, I prefer putting some concealer where necessary instead of putting powder on my entire face.
