number two: MAC aquadisiac base on whole lid and and as an eyeliner I with a thin brush applied some Jewel Blue eyeshadow.
eye eye pic
sorry it's crap quality
That's my eye with virgin vie black velvet eyeliner on like the inner bit of my eye at the bottom... i might try and get a pic with cats eyes too... (when i flick out at the end)
eyeliner- no7 eye pen on the inside and liz colligne pencil on the outside
Bronzing powder: Rimmel
Mascara: Collection 2000
Eyeshadow: same as above
Eye liner pencil: same as above in teal for nights out and a brown Rimmel one for during the day.
Lipgloss: usually some cheap stuff I got from a magazine which is just as good as any shop bought one.
Eyeliner - my line still looks really blunt, like one long blunt line... very harsh. I need to smudge it a bit I reckon. :chin:
Collection 2000 eyeliner seems to be the cheapest and best ive used.
Foundation: I use Max Factor colour adapt as a base. The Oil of Olay conceiler for my spots and dark circles. Then followed by a small brushing of Number 7 powder.
Eye Liner: I've had so much trouble finding the perfect one, be it khol, liquid, pen etc.. So far my favourite (longest lasting, easiest to put on and cheapest) is Miss sporty khol in black.
Maybelline everfresh foundation
Tesco Barbara Daily(dont know if thats spelt right) concealer
rimmel translucent face powder

maybelline volum express mascara
loreal invincible platinum lipstick over the top of a kolor lipstick
i second that! so smooth and easy to blend or smudge
Foundation : Estee Lauder So Ingenius in Ivory..really really nice for me! Really nice even coverage which isn't too thick and chocker block, still allows a little colour in the cheeks, before that I used Clinique's Clarifying Powder Makeup 01 - stopped using powder due to it really highlighting my dry skin patchs BUT the 'clarifying' bit according to the consultant meant it was designed to help clear spots or at least not to block up the skin and cause more...and to be honest, I found that to be true!
I don't use eye liner but know quite a bit about these and these come with recommendation from friends, consultants etc...! Sorry no specific names, it's just it's all dependant on the coverage you want, age of skin and such!
Clarins have some gorgeous summery eye liner sets, Lancome - great foundation and eye liners, Chanel depending on what foundation you went for, sometimes a little tangoed according to customers I've discussed foundations with, Christian Dior - foundation a tad smelly sometimes, someone I know reacted to it also- they do tend to be a bit heavier then others in comparrison. Elizabeth Arden - apparently the tinted foundation they do is amazing - really softens the skin and gives a gorgeous glow and I've seen it on a friend - really nice for like holidays and beaching it...! So yeah! Chanel eye liners as well - the kohl ones are loverly!

soooo............
Still searching for the perfect one.
i find that with all maybelline stuff. and it's not like i'm even crazy pale atm. i guess it's a personal thing.
and since posting in this thread i have discovered the joys of bourjois happy light foundation. i got it on special offer, so it was only a fiver, and with a generous slap of moisturiser underneath, it makes me look like i'm not wearing any make up, and have dead good skin. which i'm all about.
on the make up theme, after the recommendation on my powder thread, i invested in some mac loose powder (cheap, off ebay, i'm not made of money) and it's fucking amazing.
Black eyeliner is from Boots as well: £1.99 from 17 range, and one for around £6 from No 7.
Eyeliner wise i always used natural collection because they seem to blend really nicely.
Bumblebee - just do your pencil line then get a cotton bud and gently smudge the line, i always find this blends it well enough that it's not a blunt line anymore. Plus i've stopped using black eyeliner unless i want really dramatic and use brown/grey/green now as they tend to be less harsh looking.
Yeah I have started using this and I really like it, I've got combination skin with dry patches and find alot of foundations show up on the dry bits.
Also use:
Bobbi Brown loose face powder in 'pale yellow' (its not yellow at all though!)
No7 liquid pen eyeliner
Bobbi Brown eyeliner or Benefit Bad Gal kohl pencil
Maybelline Great lash in black & the waterproof one over the top as its more watery and seems to separate lashes much better
Mac lipglass in 'underage'
