BLLARGH.

I have been wearing bareminerals since freshman yr in high school and never once was told this for any sort of pictures.

What is the best eyeshadow coverage for wedding day? I want to look beautiful, but not like a peacock. And I don't want my blue eyes to be overpowered by dark shadows. I've found if I use greys that my eyes look smaller in pictures. Thoughts?

I need some new positions for when BF comes back in Feb. Favorites?

loves2shop4shoes · January 2012

Motolyn- Use nude lipliner under your lipstick and "color in your lips". Apply lipstick over it. Your lipstick should last all day.

Lauren- You need to go to Sephora to get a foundation match. But I'd stick to neutral colors. I recommend the Naked Palette from Urban Decay.

Depends on your skin type. If you have normal to dry skin, I wouldn't recommend it because it makes you look ashy. If your skin is oily, go for it.

I spray my face with a fine mist of water after I finish applying all the powdered stuff, but before I do mascara/eyeliner. Solves the problem for me. :)

Nothing is sexier than sex in heels. What's the height difference?

Thanks Shoes, by the end of the night I end up slathering lip gloss and running back out.

beanbot2002 · January 2012

I have really really really oily skin. I wear bare minerals makeup and use a oil free facewash and oil free moisturizer. But I still end up super freaking shiney and my make up looks caked by like 10am.

I do the oil blotter sheets, but only if I remember. I tried using an oil free primer under my powder foundation but it did nothing to help. Is there anything else I can do to keep the oil at bay for a little longer during the day? I feel like a gross oily faced teenager when I go into meetings.

I also don't wear a lot of eye make up because my skin is so oily (eyelids too) that if I wear eyeliner, I end up with a smudged line on my upper lid about 2 hours after applying. I've tried eyelid primers too with no success.

HALP!

Ok. I'm going to guess that you're cool-toned. Purple eyeshadow looks great with cool tones, and really brings out blue eyes. I vote you try that.

It's all about moderation. When we met, I had a little purple eyeshadow on. I mixed it with grey and some brown. You can brighten up neutral tones by combining/layering shadows. But if you went all BRIGHT PURPLE SHADOW BRIGHT PINK LINER AND SOME ROYAL BLUE MASCARA, you'd look like a 5 year old.

If you're going to do BRIGHT color makeup, make that ONE color the focus on ONE part of your face and do everything else NATURAL.

Try spritzing some Urban Decay DeSlick on your face before putting on makeup. I hear it works miracles.
