Re: Lots and lots of love for Ben Nye makeup

Bearing in mind that I don't really have lines of any sort, the concealer doesn't crease up or look cakey over the day. I find that I can get away with not using powder on top, unlike with, say, MAC Studio Finish, which disappears super easily. It also lasts fairly long.

Re: Lots and lots of love for Ben Nye makeup

ben nye has some really great makeup! its an underrated line, i think.. I love the creme rouge wheel, i use it mainly for lipcolors. the Luxury visage powder (banana) and Neutral Set powder are *staples* in my kit. the shimmery eyeshadows are great, good as highlighters.

That sounds really good, thank you! I like a slightly powdery finish, so I always wear loose powder anyway.

Re: Lots and lots of love for Ben Nye makeup

I have all the ben nye lumiere luxe powders and i must say they are even better than pigments from mac. They should only come out with more colors. I definately want to venture out from the powders though because i keep hearing how great their other products are. I just wish they were a little easier to find the full range other than online.

ben nye palette vs. loose powder shadows

I have the loose powder eyeshadows (lumiere luxe) by ben nye and was wondering if the palette shadows were the same colors as the loose powders since they have the same names. All the shops here that sell the shadows only have the loose kind. I don't want to buy the palette if they are the same colors since i have so much of the powders left.

Re: ben nye palette vs. loose powder shadows

That's a good question. They should be... I only have the pots though... Maybe I'll go to the costume shop this weekend and do a bit of diggin for ya.

Re: ben nye palette vs. loose powder shadows

I went today and compared. The Luxe Powder and shadows are exactly the same. Same Color, same intensity, same payoff! So I opted for the powders

Has anyone used any more of the Ben Nye shadows? I have the Lumiere palette and love them. I was thinking of buying some from the regular pressed eyeshadows, can anyone confirm if these are matte in finish? I really want to get some mattes. Also, are the normal ones are well pigmented as the lumiere ones? Because those are excellent!

I just have melon and celestial bleu and these are both mattes. I have seen some of the other colours from the regular line and they look matte to me; however, I am not 100% sure that this is the case for all of them.

How is the payoff for those 2 that you have? Is the pigmentation and blendability very good?

 

[Odette]

They are highly pigmented, feel very silky, and blend very easily.

Re: ben nye palette vs. loose powder shadows

Yup, I did too on Saturday. They're exactly the same.

Does anyone know if they sell Ben Nye Cosmetics in Vancouver, Canada? or if there is somewhere online I can purchase them?

Also....how much are the eyeshadows?

Thanks!

I just placed an order for the Ben Nye 12-slot palette filled with eyeshadows and blushes. I'm so excited!! Wheeee!! Can't wait...I also ordered the cake eyeliner, liquidset, and a contouring item.

Are there any Ben Nye musthaves?

I'm going to a professional MUA suppliers next week (especially to get MUFE HD in the UK!) who sell Ben Nye and was wondering if there are any must haves. I think I have enough eye shadows, but was wondering if there was anything else that I should have a look at?

 

[user79]

Spirit Gum, Final Seal spray, the cake eyeliners, cream foundations, concealor palette or the wheels, brush cleanser, Neutral Set powder....those are all great items for a pro MUA. I actually recommend you go to the Ben Nye website and download their catalogue (pdf), it contains all the products they carry. You might find a lot of goodies!
