hmm.. for a foundation brush as of now I use an Avon one I got like a year ago. But sephora has some good face brushes so I hear ( I dont care for their eye brushes so much though)

For a liner brush I like the 266 the angles flat brush, it gives me more control. People seem to like the 209 if you have a steady hand.

For the shadesticks I think shimmersand is fine, I have Fresh cement and I love it, I believe shimmersand is similar.
HTH, your gonna have an awesome haul!

These are very good selections -- I own all of the above and I'm an NW45. There are enough colors in the palettes for a LOT of versatile looks. I think I owned only 2 of the colors out of 24 colors in them. So this was a bonus for me. I got smoked, warm, intense and cool eye palettes and a back up of intense and cool eyes sets because I use them quite frequently.

The well-plumed and takewing quads were my first introduction to MAC's quads/palettes. These colors flatters me, too.

I use the cedar rose shadestick; but I did buy the shadestick set and haven't used the shimmersand one.

UDPP is my HG! I COULD NOT use eyeshadows without this stuff on first. My eyeshadow never fades or crease!! Bless you UD!!

I use blitz and glitz FL occasionally -- My fav is blacktrack. And I use macroviolet most often as a base and sometimes as a liner. And frostlite only as a base.

I know MACs 187 (or any other brand) may not be in your plans right now, but I use it to apply foundation (SFF or ST), ,MSFs, powder, and blush. I have the 190 and only use it to apply CCB to my cheeks. I can't seem to get the uniform finish to my foundation whenever I use the 190.

This is just a personal rec: I wouldn't use the "monistat anti chafting gel" as a primer -- No one knows the long-term effect on one's face. It'll be a hard lesson to learn in later years what irreparable damage this may cause to your skin -- and you only have one face -- can you say premature aging? I just never pay attention to any of those "home-remedies" others post online or elsewhere. I believe products should only be used for their intended purposes. Personally, I use Laura Geller primer -- only because it came in a kit from QVC and the jar is still half-full after having used it for over a year -- I refrigerate it.

Review these swatch threads, too, for more recs and to see them on DARK SKIN.
