I always use a finishing powder. I don't know that everyone needs one, but if you tend to be oily, you'd probably need one, yeah. What formula foundation did you get? |

So far I do not like the concealer, but I think I've bought the wrong color for me (sunlight, it just doesn't work). So far I am very happy with my items and my daughter is happy with her eye shadow mini-kit! |

Hmmm, I don't know which eyeshadows I bought, because they were for my 10 year old daughter....she is always complaining that she doesn't have any mac e/s so I let her choose 10 colors in this order. She is very happy playing around with them! And I got the Chit Chat blush and the Every day Bronzer, I haven't tried them, but the look nice.... |

I'm going to go to Claire's accessories today and buy some cheap pans for emptying out. Sorry I am rubbish and haven't got any piccies of it. |
