Powder: - Err, think it's 17 Oil Control.
Blush/Bronzer: - I don't really use either of them, I have rosy enough cheeks as it is!
Mascara: - Err, just some cheapo one. I've never really bothered with expensive because I wear contact lenses so I try not to wear mascara unless I'm partying.
Lip Gloss: - Either Vaseline or my ultimate favourite Juicy Tube... it's knackered so I can't remember which one it is!
Eye Shadow/Liner: - For eyeliner I usually use Rimmel Special Eyes... but I have some funky coloured ones which are only cheap ones from Avon for when I fancy a change. When I wear eyeshadow it's usually 17.
Fake tan: - Don't really use it... sometimes use Johnsons Holiday Skin or Dove Summer Glow.
Powder: Loreal true match.
Blush/Bronzer: Currently neither, but I need to get some blush.
Mascara: No. 7 Ultimate Waterproof.
Lip Gloss: None usually, but I have a Rimmel Infinite Colour one which is ok for nights out.
Eyeshadow/Liner: I have Maybelline Expert Eyes and Rimmel Special Eyes liners, and a range of 17/rimmel/barry m dust/Mac eyeshadow.
Fake Tan: Don't use at all.
A magnifying mirror. My preference is 5x. Nothing has made make up application easier since that purchase.
Powder: -
Blush/Bronzer: - Bourjois lilas d'or Blusher 10/10
Mascara: - none
Lip Gloss: - New rimmel lippy (fresh) 8/10
Eye Shadow/Liner: - I use the Bourjois blush as eye shadow too, Looks great. Rimmel eye kohl 9/10
Fake tan: - none
Other: -
Foundation: - I hardly wear it but i have revlon skinlights - its good because its not too obvious.
Powder: dont wear it
Blush/Bronzer: I am useless at applying blush and get rosy cheeks when i'm out anyway so i dont bother with blush. I have body shop bronze brilliance powder which i've been using in summer time for a glow & i really like that, although the glittery stuff does tend to end up everywhere.
Mascara: - loreal - try different products but always loreal. currently i have black curling one for going out and the new brown telescopic one for daytime - it really coats the lashes but smudges easily
Lip Gloss: - body shop high shine lip treatment or POP lip jam (great scent and colour )
Eye Shadow/Liner: - POP eye cake in blue eyes (colours go well together and last a really long time), Barry M (lots of cool colours)
Fake tan: the Dove moisturiser one
Other: POP glam jam under eye shadow to make it stay on longer.
body shop luminating concealer - dont leave the house without it on.
nail polish - all different brands but dont go without nail polish hardly ever.
Powder: n/a
Blush/Bronzer: n/a
Mascara: - Max Factor Masterpiece (which I
Lip Gloss: - Vaseline. I have the blue one, the green one, and the yellow one. I also have the Nivea Pearl & Shine.
Eye Shadow/Liner: - I have stuff by Collection 2000, 17, GOSH, beautyuk (yay for cheap Superdrug shit) cream eyeshadow, bellapierre, and Natural Collection. My 17 stuff is my favourite, followed closely by bellapierre. Eyeliner-wise I have Miss Sporty pencil, and a Max Factor High Definition liquid pen thing, I also have Collection 2000 liquid eyeliner, but I think it's been stolen by my sister.
Fake tan: Johnsons Holiday Skin, if I can be arsed.
Other: ACT Concealer...it's meant to be good for spots. I never use it anymore though. I also have Clinique Moisture Surge moisturiser, and Pond's Moisturiser (it's pink, but I don't know the specifics of it because it's all in Spanish) both of which are very very good.
All my purchases start out with, oh, thats on sale and I think I remember seeing a cupon for it in the paper so I can get that $12 blush for 4 and a quarter. I'll take it! Some fail, some stand the test. Other times I hear about good products (from here or my mom) and decide to try it for shits and giggles (when its on sale too
Powder: - None.
Blush/Bronzer: - Natural Collection (summertime), it's not that good though. Benefit 'Dandilion' I think it's called (wintertime).
Mascara: - Benefit BAD GIRL LASH. Although it ran out the other day so I bought one from M&S (had vouchers)..It's shit.
Lip Gloss: - Vaseline.
Eye Shadow/Liner: - Lancome khol pencil. Got it Feb 05 and still have half left..Great buy considering I use it near on every day.
Fake tan: - No thanks. Oh, maybe that Johnsons stuff occasionally.
Powder: - I use Max Factor creme puff. I used to have typical oily teenage skin and it worked really well and had good coverage hence not needing to wear foundation! I don't really wear it now though as my skin's pretty dry and it makes it look worse.
Blush/Bronzer: - I really like bourgois (sp?) little round pots of blush, get them off the makeup man on the market at home for £3.50 and they last forever and look really natural. I also have a £7.50 No. 7 blusher because i had one of the £5 vouchers, it's ok but not as good as the bourgois one. At the moment though I'm using a lip and cheek stain .. MEMEME Pussy Cat.. I love it though you can't use too much or you look like a clown.
Mascara: - I have quite a few.. Maybelline GreatLash I like because it's so black but I have another random Maybelline one that I got in a sale and it has a really thin little brush which works better because I get to all the little lashes in the corners with it. It's running out though and I can't find it any where
Lip Gloss: - Never use it. I like wearing red lipstick though :P And the lip tint!
Eye Shadow/Liner: - ATM Bourgois kohl and contour, but i only wear it for going out.
Fake tan: - In the summer I used nivea summer skin moisturiser for face.
Other: - I have invisible eyebrows so I use an eyebrow pencil.. it's just a constance carroll one though off the market in blonde. :P
Maybelline everfresh concealer - don't wear foundation so use this instead. I also love the rimmel hide the blemish one.
Powder: - 17 oil free
Blush/Bronzer: - Natural Collection
Mascara: - Maybelline Lash Stylist with the plastic comb, very good.
Lip Gloss: - Carmex
Eye Shadow/Liner: - I have eyeshadows of all brands, bourjois ones are probably the best.
Fake tan: 99p one from bodycare for body
Natural Collection make up is good, and cheap. And body shop (but not cheap).
Hmmm..I think the white coat just coats the lashes and makes them fatter, while the black coat is to colour. I did have a tube of it but it made my eyelashes look too long so they looked fake.
Would it? I don't see any problem? Always a friendly response hey!
Of course it would.
This thread's nearly a year old for fucks sake.
Powder: - No 7 pressed powder but only use it if my skins a bit oily
Blush/Bronzer: - Never use it.
Mascara: - That pink maybelline one with the green lid - have used it for years. Have tried Mac mascaras but they seem a bit useless - in fact I don't really notice too much difference between mascaras so I don't think they're worth shelling out on. For the evening, I sometimes use that Bourjois one with the black and white ends.
Lip Gloss: - Don't tend to wear it much but I use Lip Glass by Mac in Underage - a pale pinky colour
Eye Shadow/Liner: - I have tried almost every eyeliner under the sun. My favourite is Mac Technakohl liner (not as smudgey as a kohl so doesn't run and has staying power), also a waterproof one by Lancome with a smudger on the end. Benefit Bad Gal is also a good one if you tend to wear quite thick eyeliner. I use pencil on the bottom lashes and liquid eyeliner pen (Rimmel) on the top.
Fake tan: Nivea spray ones are good for me as I'm fairly pale. I also highly recommend Nivea face fake tan. Piz Buin mousse is good for legs.
Powder: - Don't wear any
Blush/Bronzer: - Blush - Benefit Throbb, Bronzer - Benefit Dalas
Mascara: - Lancome Hypnose, Benefit Bad Gal, Diorshow Waterproof
Lip Gloss: - Don't wear any usually, but lancome juicy tubes
Eye Shadow/Liner: - Virgin Vie
Fake tan: - Don't wear any
Other: - Concealers - Benefit Boing, YSL Touche D'eclat
