For the price, they're pretty good. My ex worked as a rep for a while and I was kinda impressed.
Oh, man.
Depends on your budget.
High cost? MAC. With a spattering of others (Makeup Forever, for example).
Mid-high, Urban Decay/Too Faced.
Mid-low, Superdrug do a brand called Sleek which are very good - I've got a couple of their eyeshadow palettes and I like them a lot.
Low, e.l.f. www.eyeslipsface.co.uk. Cheap as all hell but, I'm told, really very good.
And I like a dusting of mineral powder on top.
I don't really know many makeup tips but.. a makeup guru I watched on youtube recently seemed to have a good one. If when applying masara it gets onto your skin. Don't automatically go to wipe it because it will smudge. Wait for it to dry and it'll fleck off. Sounds really simple.. maybe everyone knew that apart from me
For a foundation i am loving Lancome at the mo. For a cheaper option N07 at Boots do a mouse foundation which is so nice and the tub last for ages.
Another good foundation is 'Some Kinda Goregous by Benefit. Other stuff in their range is nice too.
YSL do some great lipsticks...pink all the way
Bourjois for their eyeshadows
L'oreal never fails. They actually do a great primer for around £15 and you don't need much. it's a resurfacing one.
Bareminerals 'Prime time' - Another great primer. feels like satin on your skin.
I could go on....:hyper:
Make up forever are good but expencive. Ben Nye do lovely lip and eye colours, Sleek are awesome for eye products, but I find all of their foundations are too dark for me (they cater for women of colour primarily), Barry M and stargazer are great for bright colours. No7 isn't bad for foundations or lip colours (not 100% sure on their animal testing status though).
Tbh, it totally depends on what it is you're looking for!
I know it's new but i haven't checked it out yet...Any good?
I haven't tried it. I never really got on with Be Never Too Busy To Be Beautiful
