Make-Up & Beauty Thread

[Alyssa]

Woohoo..love hearing all your favourite make up products!
Can i just say, SLEEK!
Sleek is a brand which is available in the UK and Ireland
and its absolutely UNREAL!
so far ive only used the ink pots- gel liner, and
the eyeshadow palettes. the palettes are AMAZING!
They are constantly coming out with new palettes.
The colours are sooo pigmented, and the colour payoff
is brilliant. They have like matte, glitter and shimmer finishes. Ahhhh i just LOVE them!
Totally recommenced them!!

Ash, im totally gonna buy the coastal scents palette, as soon as i get round to it!

Heres a few pics of the palettes




^ this is a really lovely palette, great for an everyday smokey eye look... i use this palette the most id say!



^ the bottom row..the 2nd colour in, looks pink, but its soooo class
its got like gold specs in it, its just a beautiful colour!




^ all the colours in that palettes are sooo glittery!! with the exception of like 3 of them!

Can someone please move this to the new Beauty Thread?

[ginvid]

I was looking for this to move this! Thanks!

[DirtyDiana2000]

Yay! A makeup and beauty thread!

I use Bare Escentuals for foundation, concealer, eyeshadow...Smashbox Cosmetics for eyeshadow, eyeliner, and lip gloss. For eye primer, I use Too Faced Shadow Insurance. For mascara, I use CoverGirl Waterproof LashExact.

I have heaps of make up but i rarely wear them anynore as i dont really go out much.

I think i love eyeshadows & lipsticks the most

[kindofdisco]

Make up thread! I normally wear liquid foundation, mascara and a light blush every day, but I'm so poor at the moment that I'm trying to make the best of my foundation so I'm not wearing it as much as I usually do. Mostly I use the Body Shop brand because it's great for sensitive skin, and they don't test on animals.

[TarinJade]

I usually wear:
CoverGirl Lashblast (orange tube) black, and to a lesser extent, Diorshow.
Revlon Colorstay under-eye concealer
Revlon Colorstay liquid eyeliner black
CoverGirl instant cheekbones contouring blush in Refined Rose. In the summer months I wear Physician's Formula Bronzer.
Revlon Colorstay Brow Enhancer

I use different eyeshadow colors and brands, but I favor Revlon Colorstay. I also change up the lip glosses/lipsticks but I'm partial to L'Oréal Colour Riche.

[8701girl]

I use all sorts of brand names ,doesnt really matter to me if they are expensive or not. As long as they do the job they were meant to then im happy lol

[The One.]

I don't wear much make-up, probably wouldn't even if I had the money to buy them Just the basics, mascara, foundation/powder, eyeliner sometimes (when I go out). Eyeshadow and lipstick are things I never grew up to use..

Totally agree with you, i purchased the Sexycurves mascara and it was SHITE! lol Just pure terrible!
Although i much prefer cheaper mascaras to like dear ones. Ive tried Mac, Clinique, and alot of other high-end mascaras, and tbh i much prefer the likes of under £5 mascaras. They are sooo much better!
Although i bought the Loreal Volume Millions Mascara, and i do like it.




Its really good, although not so good for the lower lashes as the brush is kinda too big for them. And im kinda in two-minds as to whether or not I would re-purchase it.

I also have the Volume Million Lashes mascara and a Super Liner Duo liquid eyeliner that came with it


I like them both but mostly I use Blueberry Volume Mascara by Lumene. Lumene is a Finnish cosmetic brand (http://www.lumene.com/) Most of the products I own are from them.

I also use Lumene Natural Code mineral powder and Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse foundation. And Touche Magique concealer by L'Oreal

Those are the products I mainly use.

ahhh...so I've discovered a new (well, to me, new lol) called 'Youngblood'...I am in love with this line! I used to use Aveda product and I still do because I have so much of their makeup...but I absolutely adore Youngblood's liquid foundation...I usually can't use liquid foundation because I find my skin too oily for it, and even if I use a translucent powder, I'm still shiny...But this Youngblood stuff literally makes my skin look flawless and completely natural, and doesn't leave my skin shiny or oily, and I don't even need translucent powder with it..It's more of a yellow-undertone which I find matches me perfectly....

This is the foundation...It's just amazing...

[love is magical]

anyone can recommend an eyeliner (liquid or pencil) that doesn't smudge? i have tried bobbi brown, clinique before.

arklove, i'll definitely give YB a try. I have never heard of it before. I have oily and sensitive skin. (yuk!) It's so difficult to find a liquid foundation that doesn't turn my face into a grease pan. tried armani before. don't think it lives up to the hype. am using Estee Lauder's double matte. but, it doesn't look that natural...

one makeup product that i really like is Urban Decay's eye shadow primer. It does help my eyeshadown stay in put the whole day.

[Arklove]

I really love YB....I've never used such a great foundation...When I was younger, I couldn't afford really good foundation, but as I was able to afford it as I got older, I tried every foundation from The Body Shop and Aveda (which are both good because they're mostly organic product, and that's what I always stick with)...I thought I had found the perfect foundation with Aveda, but nope, since I've found YB, I LOVE my new foundation....I don't have a lot of YB product yet, because it's still fairly new to me...But I bought 2 loose eyeshadows (they don't smudge!) and two lipglosses...The lipglosses are true to colour and they're not too sticky....I really want to try this stuff next:

I haven't tried any of their eyeliners or anything like that yet....

...Oh and Chanel 'vitalumiere aqua' foundation has also got good reviews!

A good eyeliner that doesnt smudge...mmmm well the Urban Decay black eyeliner (pencil) is amazing goes on the waterline like a crayon...LITERALLY! but on me personally i find it smudges a wee slight bit...but the colour stays on the water line ALL DAY!



And i soooo agree with ya...the Urban Decay Primer potions are amazing!
more recently ive been using the 'sin' primer as opposed to the original



it gives a lovely base when blended in well...and plus the eyeshadow i apply over it stay put all day and night.
