re: Official Make-up lovers thread (Natural looks not theatre)

Quoting Fat Kids Lag IRL:" must try. I like more of a natural look. Do you recommend them for natural look?"

YES! It blends perfectly with my skin.

Quoting Bonnie Beaver:" One down. haha I have freckles galore and dislike them. I also have horrible toning issues and this corrects it."

Yeah, I was saying to you before the Dior foundation IMO is better but it's double the price and it's really not twice as good.. not even close. It conceals way better but it's not near as light, you really feel it on your face for a bit after applying.

Yeah. That's another thing I love about the MAC. It feels like you're not even wearing any.

I dont wear much make up only like eyeliner and lipstick or gloss LOL.
But ive been wanting to try foundations, but wasnt sure what i want and what to look for lol.
Im also afraid of breaking out. What type of face wash or so would you recommend?

I still use all of the makeup I got from DH as a present for my birthday.. It was like . $250.. And that was last December! Only thing I have bought since then where lashes at random.. And brow pencil

Yeah, I don't really mind spending the money on make-up. Especially when I know that it's going to last 5-6 times longer than department store stuff that you need to use more of and it dries up and crumbles before you can even use all of it half the time.

Plus it's your face KWIM? But nothing I use is that expensive, the UD palette was 60 but that will last me a year, my foundation is a lot and I go through it rather fast for how much it is.

The only one falling apart is the foundation brush.. Oh wait and blush! I need to go pick up
Some more!

Exactly! Totally agree.

It lasts so, so long, well worth it IMO.

I loooooooooooooooove my Artistry!!



VERY natural! They use Artistry in the Miss America Pageants!

A lot. lol


I can easily spend $300 on a few products at sephora.
Make up gets spendy.

I have the fluid eyeliner and it smears soooooooooo easy, I've used it twice, I even tried putting a little black eyeshadow over it and to no avail

If it were me I'd replace the brush that was shedding but not the rest  

Like as long as it's clean I see no reason to replace it.

I use this cheap ass smurf to clean my brushes, haha I'm a bad brush owner.



It's like $20 for a huge bottle

MAC sells something similar for more and it's all the same IMO

MAC Haute and Naughty mascara, and MAC Plushglass in Posh It Up are my essentials!

I don't have that problem, I'm not sure how to word this but do you have less space between the bottom of your brow bone and your lash line? Sometimes if I put it onto thick when I open my eyes wide it'll hit the top and smear.

Also maybe you have oily skin, have you tried primer?

I don't use face wash. The only time I ever breakout is when I use a face wash.
