Mine:
1. Create a better skincare routine-- and stick to it!
2. Invest in brushes... one at a time.
3. Use what I have, try to spend less.
4. Finally hit pan. Then B2M.
5. Make an effort to look good!
6. Find my HG products.
7. Spend less time at the MAC counter and in front of my mirror, and more with family and friends. Meaning: Try not to be too vain!

1. I'm gonna sit down and depot all my e/s and press my pigments. I've mastered the tuts, and am buying my 'kit'' so will be ready to sit down and begin in the NY.
2. Use products I bought months ago that are still unopened
3. Experiment with my e/s more.
4. Buy some more brushes

1. Master a quick and effective skin care routine.
2. Increase the quality and magnitude of my collection.
3. Do my make up, at least the basics, every day.

Okay...i know this is gonna sound crazy but..
my New years res, is to skip out entirely on mac collections of 2009.
I still want a lot of shadows (& other stuff) from the perm line, but never get any because there's always a new collection. I figure collections always come and go, and it's mostly the hype of having a new collection. SOOO that means no BBR, OR HK. Last official thing i got from `08 is dame edna trio, only because i missed out on climate blue. It will be worth it though ! i have 2 be strong...and plus once i built up my perm collection, there's always the cco right?
THAT'S IT !

Darn! LOL that got my hopes up. I live nowhere near Nashville but I have this wierd habit of 'planning' and daydreaming up vacations. And lately the fact that a city has a MAC PRO has been a big part of my daydreams... like I keep dreaming about going to Vancouver...just because they have a pro store. (And its more reasonable since its in Canada, no passport required! )

(1) I need to use what I own!
(2) Tying in with #1, need to get up earlier to do a whole look at home so I can use colors I wouldn't normally use.
(3) Get better at blending.
(4) Learn to apply false lashes. I finally wore a pair that the MA put on me and I liked the look. Now I need to try this on my own.
(5) Set a budget when buying MAC. Like others, I don't need to buy everything from every collection.
(6) No more backups.
If I use up stuff I own, I can then I can collect my containers for B2M.

This is an awesome thread
Learn to wear foundation. I have nearly flawless skin in my opinion and afraid to put it on but am open to finding something to even me out
Learn to contour and highlight
Buy blushes
Learn to wing liner better. I can do one eye but the other is more tricky
Get up early enough to do my makeup everyday
Learn to apply full lashes rather than using my trusty individuals
Get some face brushes when I attempt the foundation, countour and highlighting.
Keep track of the looks I do. I often forget what looks I do.

1. Don't get sucked into they hype for certain colors/products -- I'll only buy what I'll wear.
2. Drink lots of water.
3. Get plenty of sleep.
4. Get more MUFE!
4. Try that CS 88 shimmer palette.
5. Stop saying, "I'll start tomorrow..."

1. Expand my collection (not just MAC) without going overboard on spending. (Not that I go overboard now, I just want to make sure I never do)
2. Learn to contour
3. Learn to depot (which I will be doing shortly)
4. Buy my first pigment!
5. Press that pigment
Seems simple enough. Haha

(1) expand my mac collection. i have enough lipstick and shadows to last me a lifetime, but dont have some things i should have like pigments, paint pots (have two), glosses (i used to hate lipgloss, but recently fell back in love) blushes etc. i want a more rounded collection.
(2) learn how to properly apply blush and contour. i have just been guessing this whole time. haha.
(3) learn how to apply falsies as well, even though i probably would not wear them often, but just to have mad skills.
(4) have a touch more confidence in myself to wear my darker lipsticks. i absolutely love berry lippies and have so many but feel awkward when i wear them out.
wish you all well in your resolutions!

- Learn how to contour and do it on a daily basis. I still don't understand how I can show my face without contour.
- Wear more lip products. I usually go with just some chapstick, because I hate touch-ups.
- As I'm going to move to Montreal in January, visit the MAC stores of my new hometown, and discover the NA ways of dealing with the client
- Learn to use an eye pencil...

- Make sure that I am brushed up in every proper way to sanitize products while I'm freelancing.
- Finally turn in my papers for my MAC PRO card.
- Start advertising my services more to potential clients.
