    BOTTOM false eyelash application

    OK I did a search but couldn't really find what I'm looking for. I want to apply fake eyelashes to my BOTTOM lash line, I'm kind of going for the Twiggy look. I know how to do the normal ones on the top lashline, but want to do both top and bottom for this look. Like this, but with different...

    Geisha - Need your opinions girls

    OK as some of you may know, I dabble with photography on the side. I've been doing self-portrait shots lately, not because I'm so self-absorbed or something and think I need a million pictures of myself, but rather because I don't know a lot of people here that I can ask to pose/model for me and...

    ***How to take better makeup pictures with your camera***

    OK a lot of people have asked me in PM how I am able to take such clear pictures of my make-up. I thought I would compile a list of tips so that everyone can get great results. 1. Try to take your make-up pics in natural light conditions. Daylight is best to show off your make-up skills. I...

    How do you wear Jest e/s?

    I got Jest e/s today and it's one of the few light coloured neutrals I have. I just love how it looks! But how do I wear it? Note, I don't wear pinks so don't suggest pink shades. I have a lot of bronzey and coppery shades, also brown...I thought those might go?

    Your general thoughts on the Sundressing Collection

    So I guess a lot of you have now had a chance to check out the new collection. What did you think of it? I have to say, I once again was disappointed. This was the 2nd collection in a row I passed up on - both Sundressing and Sweetie Cake were really average to me. I didn't like either of the...

    Which brush should I buy? 272 or 222

    I need a better crease & blending brush, the one I have is poo. I was at MAC today planning to get the 222, but then the MA handed me a 272 to try out and I really liked it as well! I could apply the shadow directly to the crease with the light angle that it had. But now I'm not sure what I...

    Chanel - Chance

    I just adore this perfume!! I had been eyeing it for close to a year but the high cost kept me away, but finally I got it from my boyfriend as a present for Christmas. I got the Eau de Toilette but wow - the lasting power is just as strong as the eau de perfumes I own, or even stronger. The...

    Wonderstuck Lustreglass

    Just a hint. I bought the Lovestruck l/g a few days ago, then today I was at the pharmacy and tried out the Rimmel Lip Vinyls and ended up buying "Star Kissed". Well, it is a near perfect match to MAC Lovestruck l/g. The formulation is a bit different, it isn't quite as thick as the l/g, but it...

    Nice plum shade for blush?

    I bought a MAC blush today, Plum Foolery. It is a Sheertone Shimmer blush, but tbh I'm not really thrilled with it. I don't know what it is, it looks sort of reddish on me. I'm fairly light skinned so I can't wear something over-the-top dark, but I guess I was looking for something...something...

    Pat McGrath make-up artist

    She is my #1 fav make-up artist. I just love her work. Does anyone know if she has put out any books or anything like that? I'd love to buy one. I'm not too into Kevin Aucoin.

    Which colours can you absolutely NOT wear?

    Do you have any colours or shades that you think look absolutely hideous on you? Or maybe just colours you stay clear of? For me, I have to say green eyeshadow. I bought Emerald Green pigment and ended up returning it, it just looked so bad on me when I applied it strongly. I also am not a fan...
