Sorry not sure where to post this question
Does anyone find that their skin feels prickly when the use MAC Mineralised skin finish?
I thought I was imagining it, so haven't used it for a while. Tried it today, and sure enough all day Iv'e had a prickly feeling all over my face.
Does this mean I'm sensitive to the chemicals in this, and I should look at some alternate mineralised powder, or will they all make my skin feel like this?
Any help welcome, (still new to this game
)

Ahh...my dear, I had the same problem! Even though its mineral based, my skin did NOT like this product at all! Personally, I wanted to like it soo much coz the finish is amazing, i could actuallly go without foundation and concealor and my skin was flawless and glowy...except I noticed it started to make me breakout like crazy and I had OILY skin for the first time!! the worst for me was my face was CRAZY itchy....it was horrible. We were on a honeymoon for the longest time, where I was in denial and I kept trying to make it work by changing up my skincare, washing my brushes twice a day etc. But I ended up exchanging it for MELBA lmao..
For now, I'm sticking to my Select liquid fdn and setting it with Select sheer pressed..though I hate the powdery look it gives me...

Thanks Ziya
I suppose I'll have to keep away from other MAC mineralised makeup too.
Zerin, thanks for doing great Eye Shadow vids. Really helps us newbies out.
But especially brilliant as you're a similar colouring. There's a real niche in the market for our colour skin, makeup. I am surprised that someone hasn't gone into it yet. Especially the giants who are always looking to expand their market share.

Ladies! this is my first post and I have questions for you!!!
First of all I am just a novice at all this makeup stuff
I don't wear MAC foundation because its either yellow or orange... I use bare minerals in Medium beige so that might help you get an idea of my skin color???!! Anyways, I have always used Lancome artliner (liquid eyeliner) to line my upper lid. But I've seen all of you using gel/cream eyeliners from MAC, MUFE, STILA, LOREAL, and BB... I have tried the mac, mufe and loreal ones... they are either not black enough and they smear after some time... or after about 5 hours or so i start getting blackish stuff under my eyes... I use UD primer potion to prep my eyes.
What am I doing wrong? do any of you have this problem? Oh and what eyeliner brush do you all reccomend using?
one more thing, I just wanted to say I envy all of you beautiful ladies for being able to wear eyeliner in the waterline!! I love how it looks on all of you but for the life of me can't do it to myself. Literally whatever eyeliner I use to line my waterline it wears off in about 30 mins flat. Even when I was younger and my mom put surma in my eyes it would wear off...

Hey hun! I am currently having a torrid love affair with my MAC fluidline..I've had it for ages, use it everyday practically and I've barely made a dent in the jar! lol Soooo, I would have to say its the best eyeliner I've used for both top line and waterline (though its not technically eye safe :O lol ) My problem with pencils are that they smear when used in either place and most of the time I like a sharp thin upper line and I hate having to sharpen the pencil evvverryy time! Liquid liners are a tad messy IMO, and there's a huge learning curve with getting it juust right. It always gets on my lashes and wrecks my eyeshadow and the brushes that come with the packaging are usually hit and miss (ie if I like the product, I hate the brush and vice versa) I like the consistency of Fluidline, its liquidy enuff to spread well, but not soo watery it runs all over the place... It stays forever on upper lids especially when used with UDPP. On the waterline, I'd say dip a pencil in the fluidline and use that as your applicator, then dip a brush in some black eyeshadow and with gentle patting motions, dab the powder on top of the line. This is called "setting" the eyeliner and usually lasts longer and looks more intense. I use Blacktrack and its deeeep black...
I am hoping to get the HIP liners by next week, so hopefully I can update you guys with how that goes! HTH!
Oh, and btw, I lovvvee my MAC 210 for lining..its super awesome, and QUO's angled brush for winged liner...

Awww....thanks guys! I'm glad it's actually helping you guys out. We really needed some desi girls on yt with our skintones so I decided to start it...lol...I started the niche! Now, I see so many other girls with our skintones doing makeup...it's really great. We can totally pull off any colours too. That's why we shouldn't be afraid to try those pretty colours.
About the blushes...Ziya....I love and prefer matte mac blushes and mac mineralize blushes. You should try out Desert Rose Mac blush (matte) along with a gold blush for the apples of your cheeks to get that glow! It's my favourite blush combo and it looks great on us.

I also use the MSF DUO (highlight side - Medium/Dark) to get the glow. I know you don't like the MSFs but you can use the other side for contour. Check if your Mac store still has it and swatch it there.
But then again,it might not be so worth it for you since you'll just mainly use the highlight side. :S I always try to find dupes but some turn out so shimmery or so glittery.
If you're from Toronto...check out the Mac Pro Store on Queen...they have alot of mineral blushes and the msfs duo and they carry PRO colours too.....
so thats awesome!

Check out.....Peachstock lipstick it's a really nice nude PRO colour. It looked nice on my friend and so I went to buy it but it was sold out at that time. So maybe I'll check it again. Azalea is a hot magenta pink blush and OMG you have to use very lil and blend it out since it's such a bright colour. lol A little goes a VERY LONG way for this colour! You should get it, it's real unique!
