Make up tricks and tips?

[MissPinkBarbie]

-Always moisturize at night
-NEVER sleep with makeup on(not even eye makeup)
-Like [MiniChan], I LOVE Vaseline...Great for hydrating real dry lips
-A great mascara (I like MAC Fibrelash)
-a great eyelash curler (I like Shu umera)

That's all..I try to keep my skin/face clear of powders, foundation, concealers, etc...Just fabulous eyes!

I 100% believe in being able to make your make-up look awesome and sometimes even better without spending tons of money on "higher end" stuff.

I used to love waterproof mascara but I hate it now, I don't know why.

well imo it just depends how the eyeshadow is applied and what look you want but i like using blending brushes cus i think eyeshadow always looks better when you cant tell where one color starts and the other begins especially when using 4 or 5 different eyeshadows at a time (which is normal for me). its also easier to place colors in a specific area with brushes.

i like primer (paint pots<3) cus my eyelids tend to get on the oily side throughout the day and its a guarantee my eyeshadow stays put

i've been buying MAC for years but its especially great now because i have MAC Pro membership! yay for discounts

Putting a line of white eye shadow starting from the top of your nose (between your eyebrows) and going down, will make you nose look a little smaller and will take some of the "oily" look off of your nose.

Does anyone know a CHEAP mascara I could buy? I have ridiculously LONG eyelashes, but they are thin. I don't want them to look longer, but I want them to look thicker... any ideas?

I LOVE youtube. I go on there all the time. What's the link to your videos. I'd love to watch.

i still do make up artistry on the side though for my gal pals here and there.

i love eyeliner. im the girl who wears eyeliner all around my eyes with the smokey look, but the difference is - i know how to wear it lol

and when you curl your eyelashes and use white to brighten up your eyes they do not make your eyes smaller. it's all about application.

You can have the best makeup in the world.. but if you don't know how to apply it or use makeup.. you won't get the benefit of using it (for those that like wearing makeup).

I have a few tutorials on youtube on how to apply foundation all the way to blending and how to create a smokey look simplified.

good luck ladies and have fun talking makeup!

I'm a DiorShow addict but I recently read some good reviews on Almay One Coat Thickening and decided to give it a try. It's a very nice mascara for the price. I used to use L'Oreal Voluminous and it's a nice volumizer also.

What i do to make them thicker is use a mascara that is running out(Max factor calorie 2000) so its a little dry and use that as the first coat so your eyelashes are seperated. and then I use Supershock by Avon its like 5 bucks right now. Its awesome I love the brush and it seperates the lashes even more and gives them the volume you will need

Thanks ladies! I was using the AVON supershock for awhile, but ran out and needed some like NOW and didn't have the money to spend, so I went to Walmart and bought like a $2.00 tube.. and in like 2 hours I have black all underneath of my eyes and it makes my lashes look mega long.

Have you tried Dior Show? That is my absolute favorite. It's really worth the money for me. For a drugstore brand I like L'oreal Voluminous.

I always check reviews here- Makeupalley Product Reviews Maybe you can find reviews that are from other Asian women so you'd know what works best for your lash type.

Thanks for that link. I am always in search of a good mascara. I loved Lancomes Intencils, but they dont make that anymore. I and I can never find one that worked as good as that one. I think I might try the Diorshow.
