Is your concelear a stick, liquid or powder? Liquid.

Do you wear eyeshadow? Yup.

nda_roxybabe

I want to try the liquid foundation with a brush because i looove the flawless glowy look but do you have to wash the brush daily? Does it dry in time?

reddy123

This is kind of a post and run, but hi Roxy! I love make up like whoa.

What brands do you use?
Cover girl, only cheap brand that comes light enough for me.

Do you use liquid foundation?
yes.

If so, do you apply it with a brush? 
no, fingers.

Is your concelear a stick, liquid or powder?
liquid, let dry, then powder (I wear a lot of make-up)

Do you wear eyeshadow?
Yup, tons.

Eyeliner?
Yup, tons. Depends on the look I want, usually I do black liquid "cat eye" with a waterproof liquid, sometimes I do smokey eyes with a pencil.


Do you use blush?
Rarely, but I do have a brownish pink I like when I'm dressing up.

reddy123

Yes, you have to clean brushes each time, hence why I am lazy and never use them. And it bugs me how much product is going into the brush instead of on my face.

nda_roxybabe

Reddy! I would not have guessed you wear a lot of makeup. I want to see. I'm trying to learn how to do the cat eye/ wing tip eyeliner now.

shaydenise

What brands do you use? Bare Escentuals, Too Faced, Maybelline, Sephora

Do you use liquid foundation? Nope, mineral.  I would have never thought I'd like it either because I didn't think it would have good enough coverage but I LOVE it.

If so, do you apply it with a brush? When I used to wear liquid foundation, no I didn't use a brush.  I used a sponge.

Is your concelear a stick, liquid or powder? powder

Do you wear eyeshadow? YES!  I love playing with eye make-up

Eyeliner? Yep

Is your eyeliner liquid, gel, pencil or powder? it's one of those liquid sticks

Do you use blush? yep

nda_roxybabe

Yes, I love my bare escentuals but I can't get over the glow that the liquid foundation has.

KaylaSue19

What brands do you use? I use different brands for pretty much everything. I like Maybelliene for mascara. E.L.F. is tons of fun and everything is between $1-$5. I like MAC, Urban Decay and Coastal Scents too.

Do you use liquid foundation? Yes, covergirl TruBlend.

If so, do you apply it with a brush? I just use my fingers.

Is your concelear a stick, liquid or powder? It's more like a paste, it's thick. I have some powder too but I don't like it.

Do you wear eyeshadow? Yes. I love it. If you like playing around with colors I suggest looking at coastalscents.com. I have a palette from there that was around $20 and it has 88 colors.

Eyeliner? Yes. 

Is your eyeliner liquid, gel, pencil or powder? Depends on the occasion. Normally just pencil, but I have liquid. For my upper lash line I get a liner brush wet and use eye shadow sometimes.

Do you use blush? Not usually. I always use bronzer though.

Posted by nda_roxybabe[/QUOTE]
I don't wash my brush DAILY but I do wash it maybe twice a week with baby shampoo. I wash it before I go to bed and it's dry the next morning. I wash my brushes that I use in liquids/cremes more often than brushes I use in powder.

katiewhompus

What brands do you use? Maybelline, Loreal, Covergirl
Do you use liquid foundation? Yep
If so, do you apply it with a brush?  Nope, just finger
Is your concelear a stick, liquid or powder? I don't have any, but I should probably get some. I try to use foundation as a concealer and it never works (big shocker I know)
Do you wear eyeshadow? Yep yep
Eyeliner? On the top lid daily, on the bottom also for special occasions
Is your eyeliner liquid, gel, pencil or powder? Um...I think it would be considered a pencil. It's one where you just turn the bottom and it rises. Maybe a gel? I think it's Maybelline
Do you use blush? No, I never learned to apply it right and look like a clown when I do.

reddy123

here are some silly webcam pics of some of my looks, FOR ROXY, not because I am an AW:

This is my usual (a lot of make up):

The quadruple wing:

rainbow eye! found this on a youtube tutorial:

random, brown and green:

blazer colors (sports team):

really crazy, lol:

My advice for liquid liner: practice makes perfect! It takes practice and a steady hand. rip the tip off of a q tip and get it wet for an "eraser" or to drag the tips out evenly. I usually do the bottom line and wing out as a base with pencil before I ever do the top. I also did a pencil for years first as a base line. When Amy winehouse came out I got a lot of comments, my fave being, "you could really teach her a thing or two about eyeliner." haha, enjoy, I gotta run, have a good saturday night everyone!

Reddy- you're so cute! I love the second one!

Anysunrise

Reddy, you are so pretty.

The only thing I use daily is Neutrogena medium foundation to cover my dark under eye circles.  I don't use anything else and I don't put it all over my face - I hate the way foundation feels!

If I wear eye-shadow, I use a palette by Kat Von Di that has all kinds of dark tones in it.  I do something like a smoky eye, but less exaggerated.

I just got the mascara that has the little spiky ball on the end.  I LOVE IT.

I don't wear makeup every day, but I use Bare Minerals for daytime and I recently discovered Smashbox foundation so I use that for going out to dinner/weekends. Their liquid concealer is great too, and the Smashbox mineral powder is better than the Bare Minerals.

Eyeliner, yes, pencil, I would love to learn to do liquid but I think I'm too shaky. I don't use blush, but eyeshadow is a yes and I dust bronzer on my cheekbones.

ETA: I use my fingers for the liquid foundation, my Sephora chick said brushes and sponges waste a lot of the product. Reddy, love the sexy, dramatic eyes!

Ok, stupid question but how do you use concealer? Just get one that matches your skin color and dab it on trouble areas and go or do you use foundation over it? What's the difference between concealer and foundation?

Posted by katiewhompus[/QUOTE]

<div>Foundation is all over to even out your skin tone, etc., concealer you dab on spots. And you can leave it at that, but I like to use my concealer and then go over with powder foundation to even everything out.</div>

katiewhompus

Hmmm I may have to play around with that then. I may have been doing my makeup wrong for the last 10 years!

With bare escentuals you use the same makeup for foundation & concealer but you apply it with a different brush to get more coverage in certain areas.
