Which makeup item makes the biggest difference for you?

[Selene]

Which cosmetic item (i.e. lipstick, mascara, blush, eyeliner, etc.) makes the biggest improvement in your appearance?

For me it would would have to be liquid powder, aka oil control lotion. That and blotting sheets. I use OC Eight and Johnson & Johnson Clean and Clear Oil Absorbing Sheets. I don't mind being seen without makeup, but I really don't want anyone to see me with a shiny face.

I've seen the dewy-faced look look good on other people, but for some reason it doesn't work for me; it just looks greasy, and accentuates my facial flaws. I'm not sure why. At any rate, I'm very glad for my mattifying products!

For me it's definitely eyeliner since it enhances my eyes.

eyeliner, and eye makeup in general, really. my skin is pretty decent, and i can go out without foundation/concealer/powder, but i really don't feel right without some form of eye makeup on. i consider a "light" day to be just basic eye makeup (maybe 1 shadow color, and liner), an MSF or bronzer on my cheeks, just for some color, and regular moisturizing lipbalm.

-mascara and concealer. seriously, concealer makes everything better, and mascara is the only thing (even with a s*load of eye make up on) that brings out my eyes.
-i have to say highlighter under the brow, even something very subtle like vanilla e/s (well, on my NC-25 skin) cleans up everything
-brows are big too, w/o filling mine in, they're so light!
-if we're getting technical, lipliner. lips look so much more finished and pretty with a little help

Unless I am leaving the house in an ambulance, I would never be without my undereye concealor. I have really nice skin, but terrible dark circles. It is the one thing that I obsess about day in and day out.

Eyeliner and mascara for me. It was so funny, the other day, I was doing my eye makeup with some new MAC colors, and had done everything up to the point of liner and mascara. My husband walked in and said he didn't like it (even though he knew I wasn't done), but I continued on and finished anyway. When I walked out of the bathroom, he said, "WOW, nevermind, I like it!"

Guess the liner and mascara made the look!
