The feeling when you discover what makes you look great.

Isn't it great when you finally discover a new tip that helps you personally look miles better in a way you always wished? It's usually a tiny little thing that you do and it can make all the difference to your face.

Today after experimenting i discovered i can look completely glowy and refreshed looking just by putting on an eyeshadow of similar colouring to my under eyebrow colouring all over my eye area, i.e lid and right up to eyebrows and in inner corners. It might sound simple and everyone might already do that but i guess i never had the right colour or quality product to do that and didn't think it would make much difference. I've got really bad eye circles and pigmented skin in general over my eye area so this tip really helps me and i can black eyeliner and mascara, and pretty eye shadows without looking dead

Do you have a clever little tip that makes you look great always?

Not a technique, but I was so ecstatic when I saw how the Skinfinishes made my skin look. Seriously, I was grinning ear to ear even though I was just sitting at home, by myself, with full makeup. I couldn't wait for my boyfriend to come home.

Yeah, I'm a big dork.

I was sooo happy when I found maxfactors lasting performance foundation, it goes on so smooth and it look so natural while it provides great coverage, and it lasts and lasts!! AMAZING!!!

and I get the smile litlaur wrote about after I first try a new MAC brush, they are amazing, every single one of them!!

Switching from clinique powder to Bare escentuals foundation. People actually complimented me on how pretty my skin looked

Also lucky green - my dad is NOT a complimentor...He actually complimented me on my combination of lucky green, lustreleaf and vanilla pigment...Said my eyes looked beautiful!
(First time in my life he's said im beautiful!)

when i finally realised i could wear pink on my eyes without looking like id been crying for hours...its my fave colour (aside form green) and i wasn't going to stop until i found a way to make it work!

My bronzing stick in Rose d'Or is getting a serious workout. My father actually asked me the other day if I was wearing new moisturiser. I said, a bit baffled and asked why did he ask. He said I just have this glow to my face these days! I had to confess what was responsible for that. He said he even noticed the other day. My father has never made me feel ugly, but he never makes comments like that either. Kind of embarrassing, I was so pleased!

Bronzing stick, oh how I worship thee (and the #192 used to apply it - makes you look real 'pro')!

hotpinkheels-

I'm with you. I never thought pink looked right on me until I tried MAC All-Girl pigment. It's my HG, and I hope to never run out. It's just so gorgeous, and really makes me look awake and flushy

Bare Escentuals completely turned my skin around. I would never use another brand =)
