Beauty Finds, Tips, and Tricks

Omg I love them so so much. Walgreens has them if you're close to one.

 

I am a makeup addict, and I have tried all brands. My favorites include Lorac Front of the Line PRO eyeliner, Lorac Baked Satin blush, Too Faced eye primer, bareMinerals high shine eyecolor, L'oreal Colour Riche lipstick, and Maybelline Rocket mascara. I also love fake lashes. I found that the inexpensive ones are just as good as the MAC brand. I still need to find the perfect foundation. I currently use bareMineral, but it can be cakey. Any suggestions?

 

What kind of coverage are you looking for? Is your skin dry? Oily? Combo?

 

Latest products: Shu Uemura's Tint in Gelato





So pretty. Nice moisturizing formula. Buildable coverage. No fragrance that I can detect. Plus, I think the packaging is gorgeous. Lighter color is CR03, darker color is BR01.

 

Ooh, Shu! Their products are usually great. Swatches please?

 

I'll do it when I get home. Stay tuned!

 

Swatches!

 

So pretty! Like them both, but I really love the bottom swatch. Thanks for swatching!

 

I love silver eyeliner.

Ladies, y'all don't need all that make-up.

 

I'm sorry you think that. I guess it's a good thing that I wear it for me and not you, then.

 

And I'm sorry that I posted anything .

For the record, my "Ladies, y'all don't need all that make-up" comment was meant as a compliment.

 

I know Hence the wink face.

Just know that for your future interactions, a lot of women don't wear makeup because they feel they need it, they wear it because they think it's fun! Today I'm wearing zero makeup, and don't feel any worse about myself.

 

Thank you for explaining that you weren't upset. Honestly, I wasn't sure how to read your post.

The idea of makeup being fun is lost on most guys, even those of us who've been around a while.

One of my sisters would die fighting for her makeup. I'm lucky, my wife only wears makeup when she has to. She doesn't want long-lasting makeup, she prefers the kind (cheap) that removes easily & quickly once the special occasion is over. She has makeup that dates to our wedding over 27 years ago, and I'm being serious.

 

And makeup that is 27 years old should not be used! Buy that girl some fresh stuff!!

I love makeup so much I write about it and get paid to do so!

Not because I hate myself without it - but because it's a fun, artistic way to express myself. Try on a new look. Enhance what I already like about myself.
