    Eeek! It's my first FOTD.

    The photographer snapped this on a shoot today, so I thought I'd pop it up for a giggle. I'm more of a behind-the-scenes person, I don't photograph very well. The phot was surprised I was wearing make-up, normally I'm a jeans/ponytail girl when I'm working. This was towards the end of the...

    Your dream non-cosmetic MAC products

    So without mentioning Parrot, MSFs or anything else that's a colour/cosmetic product, what do you really wish MAC would release? This also excludes foundation - it's a cosmetic product. I personally want: - Prep & Prime skin without any sparkly bits. - Prep & Prime skin with SPF50 to be...

    Make-up for various lighting setups

    I'm not sure if this should go here or in another forum. Mods, please do with as you will. Does anyone have a cheat sheet for working out make-up strength against lighting setups? I've lost my little FAQ sheet about doing makeup under softboxes/clamshells/overheads etc and I have a shoot on...

    Yay!

    There are a few New Zealanders around as well, so they're more than welcome here as far as I'm concerned! A bit of self-pimping - I run a small MAC AU price list (see my signature for update dates), so if you have any questions about prices, check mac.larahill.com . I update it at least a...

    Good news, Australians! (Culturebloom 'Flowering' quad)

    David Jones in Sydney CBD is carrying the Flowering quad! I went there on a whim this afternoon (the quest for the perfect handbag continues...) and passed the MAC counter, saw a cute little pastel display quad and stopped so fast, my high heels left trenches in the marble. They've only got...

    Storing awkward-shaped brushes for travel

    I have a couple of standard brush rolls that are stuffed to the gills with trad long-handled brushes, but I have a couple of 45% angle brushes and kabuki/stiff buffer brushes that are short, squat, and not suited to storing in a roll. The CD 182 brush is rolling around free in my travelling kit...

    Sydney - Australia

    I live in the inner-inner-west and work/study right above Myer Sydney Central - I'd love to find someone else who lives/works within the city to do lunchtime power-shops with! I've also just recently moved to the area from Queensland, so I have an ulterior motive in posting - I'm dying to meet...

    Your top four brown eyeshadows

    I'm in the midst of depotting into quads and am discovering the rather large holes in my colour collection, so... What are your four must-have brown eyeshadows? Apart from copper and bronze lustres, the only straight brown I own is Swiss Chocolate and that's it - not a good showing at all. If...

    Hello from Sydney!

    Hi gals (and guys!) I finally signed up for the forums after checking out Specktra for the last six months or so. The amount of creativity here is great, I've been getting lots of fresh ideas to use in my own work (I'm a freelance MA, doing mainly press work and a squillion weddings - this...
