I had no idea that Costco sells designer makeup or makeup period. Thanks for sharing that!

What??!! I didn't know they had designer mu either. Of course, we don't have a Costco where I live. But that is more than a 50% savings! They sell for $39.50!

I just read that MUA Roberta Rogers uses MAC Orange eyeshadow on Vivica A. Fox's lower lash line to warm up her under eye area. I believe that I read that Senior Artist Romero Jennings uses the orangish Chroma Cake as a type of concealer for brown skinned women. That's a brilliant idea!!!

i am NW45 and i use several things to highlight under my eyes:
hullabaloo hi light powder- balloonacy
lighhearted mystery powder- stylistics
select moisturecover concealer- NW 40 and 35
beauty powder- pearl blossom- barbie
pigment- helium- ballonacy
pigment- off the radar
eyeshadow- retrospek
Mineral Skin - new vegas- alexander mcqueen
Mineral Skin- glissade- danse
fluidline- uppity- antiquitease
Mineral eye- family silver
eyeshadows- wedge, bamboo, lightray, b-rich - any of the light to medium browns are practically foolproof once you get skilled you can branch out. one of my favorite under eye lighlights is motif eyeshadow.
i normally use the 188 brush and buff product on in a circular motion for the cream and liquid products.
i normally use 225, 227, or 168 for the powder products- especially the pigments which can go on too heavy if you use the wrong brush.
i think the thing to remember for darker skin is that we have to use products that are not necessarily made for hi lighting to get the job done. (one reason why i use fluidline on my face, instead of just lining)
TIP #1- keep in mind that things that look really light are actually gonna work and not look ghostly like you may think. the regular bronzer and whatnot arent really gonna show on darker skin because we already are that color.
TIP #2: its a good idea not to match finishes until you get really good with your application. for example, if you use a shimmer highlight, then go for a matte blush to avoid looking like a big frosty mess! the exception is matte +matte. you can always use a matte highlight and a matte blush together.
TIP #3 along the same lines- you may want to contrast the finish of your lid color and under eye highlight color. a frosty lid and frosty highlight can b a bit much in the daytime. again, mattes are the exception.
please buzz me if you need more ideas or tips!!!!

I am just spellbound by all of your advice!! Where have you been all my life? I feel like I've been stalking you....This is the 4th thread I've followed you to and your advice just keeps getting better and better.

Whew!! Keep going girlie....I think I love you! Another NW45 girl speaking to my own heart.....

lsperry,
YOU SO CRAZY!
for all of my makeup advice here is the negative: i cannot make up other people and my friends hate me for it! i can tell you in detail what to do, but LORD JESUS you dont want me on your face with my own 2 hands- lol
i used to blame it on being a lefty but i think more than anything its just a lack of practice- im an only child and never really played "makeup" with other people growing up.
my maiden name is perry. lets just be like normal african americans and say we're cousins! thats why we have so much in common.

Priss,
Well, what you lack with your hands, you make up for it with your words. Your directions and descriptions are so clear and easy to understand and not full of Internet-speak.
And, yes, “cuz”, welcome to the board; I’m so glad you’re here.
BTW, my husband is left-handed, too….LOL

Has anyone tried the Sephora Light Touch Highlighter for this purpose. Currently I just use a Mary Kay light bronze concealor under my eyes....but I wanna try something a little different after I use up this tube. Antybody?
