Go ahead! Ask your questions–now’s the time to get product recommendations, comparisons, or just find out what my favorite moisturizer is. I’ll be keeping an eye out on this post so I can answer questions quickly aka today! :D Feel free to chime in with your answer to someone else’s question, too!
Monday, November 17, 2008
I was wondering if you could review Benefit
Georgia.
Also, what’s your favorite face powder?
Could you do a swatch of all the permanent MAC paint pots?
Monday, November 17, 2008
I will try to review if I can get my hands on it.
Face powder as in loose, pressed, highlighter? A setting powder or more of a powder foundation?
Tuesday, November 18, 2008
Pressed powder that you put on top of foundation. Setting. Thank you!
Tuesday, November 18, 2008
I like Mineralize Skinfinish Natural as far as pressed powders go for setting :)
Tuesday, November 25, 2008
Definitely MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Natural then :)
Monday, November 17, 2008
I was wondering if you could tell me what i could use, and technique, to achieve anne hathaway’s look here:

Monday, November 17, 2008
Hi Naomi,
I have no idea exactly how her makeup was done, and it’s definitely hard to tell since her eyes are open (what she may have on her lids could be totally hidden!), but here are some things I see:
1. Lots of smudging of brown to plum shadow along the lower and outer lash lines.
2. Tightlining with liquid or gel super black liner.
3. Probably black liquid liner on upper lash lines.
4. Individual lashes were probably added to make her lashes appear fuller.

I am thinking of buying the dior shimmering star blush but i’d like to see what it looks like on the face first. Thank u:)
Monday, November 17, 2008
I don’t have this color, sorry… :(
Tuesday, November 18, 2008
Its the one you say its the # 1 shimmer that it broke on a trip and then u had to get another one. It looks nice on the picture and on the swatch.
Tuesday, November 18, 2008
sorry, i think i had the name wrong its the Dior’s Amber Diamond Skin Shimmer.
Tuesday, November 18, 2008
Hey Abby! I’ve used it in probably 50+ looks!
Here are a few:

i am definitely getting it now! it looks so pretty! Thank you Christine!!!!! :)
Tuesday, November 18, 2008
No problem, Abby!
Monday, November 17, 2008
Will you show us a picture of your boy :) You always talk about him and so many of us would LOVE to see a pic of you two
Monday, November 17, 2008
Sorry, I can’t show you his photo out of respect for his wishes to remain unseen!
Monday, November 17, 2008
can you recommend a permenant dupe for melrose mood?
Monday, November 17, 2008
Snob would be my recommendation!
Monday, November 17, 2008
What is your favourite day time cream?
What products do u recommend for large pores?
Monday, November 17, 2008
Hey Lisa!
Here are a few of my favorite day time creams: Kate Somerville’s Oil-Free Moisturizer (though you have to add a SPF to it), Estee Lauder’s DayWear series, and LUSH’s Vanishing Cream. I also keep a few tubes of Neutrogena’s SPF55/SPF70/SPF80 around!
I recommend using a face primer as well as using subtle shimmer rather than more obvious shimmer/glitter!
Monday, November 17, 2008
Hi Christine,
What do you mean by a subtle shimmer?
Any recs?
Thanks in advance
Monday, November 17, 2008
You know how some products can have really obvious shimmer? The extreme would be glitter, or large chunks of shimmer versus a product that gives you more of a sheen. A product like Dior’s Skin Shimmers are a good example of subtle shimmer, because it of how finely milled the product is, the shimmer goes on continuously and looks more natural.
Monday, November 17, 2008
Ok I understand now,
so are the Dior skin Shimmers, in one color or more as there are several skin tones?
Thanks
Monday, November 17, 2008
They have Rose and Amber – either will work for you, but one is pinker whereas the other is a little more bronze.
Tuesday, November 18, 2008
Thank you!
Monday, November 17, 2008
I want to do a smoky taupe/brown eye.. what MAC shadows would you recommend for this? NC30ish and red-browns or bronze shadows seem to wash me out..
Monday, November 17, 2008
Hi Luv J,
For lighter shades, I think Bamboo, Grain, or Malt are all good neutral colors that would work well for you. For a good smoky brown, Satin Taupe is fantastic!
Monday, November 17, 2008
Smokey Eye,
Chanel has a holiday collection, eye pallete called smokey eye, with 4 colors that include, grey, black, silver and white ( all shimmer), What colors would you recommend with MAC.
And
I love blues for smokey eye since blue is one of my fav. colors
I have contrast, and deep truth, what other colors would you pair with this for a smokey eye?
Thanks again
Monday, November 17, 2008
Silver Ring (silver), Print (gray), Black Tied (black), Crystal Avalanche (white)
I’d pair those two blue shadows with Tilt, Moon’s Reflection, or Electra.
Tuesday, November 18, 2008
Hi Christine,
So I followed your advice and went to MAC today.
I looked for the colors you recommended, and the MA applied the colors with a deep green paint pot, not sure of the name. It was all was just a bunch blues blended together…it looked smokey but not striking. I would tell you the rest but its too long to include here…
I walked away dissatisfied, b/cos the MA didn’t seem to have enough knowledge or expertise.
I do want to create a smokey look but with a good contrast. Do you have any other suggestions, I’m going back to return/exchange at another MAC store.
Tuesday, November 18, 2008
Hm, if you want something with more contrast, the problem lies inn using such a dark base. If you start off with something so dark, it’s hard to get enough contrast. I’d have used a light blue, silver, or light teal base.
Tuesday, November 18, 2008
I have greenstroke, will that work??
Tuesday, November 18, 2008
I think it’s still a little dark – do you have anything like Silverstroke Fluidline?
Tuesday, November 18, 2008
No, I don’t
but isn’t Silverstroke Fluildline just a liner,will it work with the look?
Thanks Christine
Tuesday, November 25, 2008
You can use it as a base, too! :)
Monday, November 17, 2008
Hi Christine,
This is sort of a random question – but what kind of camera do you use? Your photos are so nice and sharp!
Monday, November 17, 2008
For product shots and full-face photos, I use a Nikon D90. For close-up photos of my eye, I use a Fuji Finepix E550 digital camera. :)
Tuesday, November 18, 2008
Why do you use 2 different cameras? I want a camera that takes pictures as nice as yours does!!!
Tuesday, November 25, 2008
I originally purchased the D90 to basically replace my regular ol’ point and shoot, but it’s SO heavy and it’s just hard to take close-ups of my eyes and lips with it compared to the point and shoot. Thus, I use the D90 for everything but my eye/lip close-ups.
My point and shoot is fab, I love it to bits, but I’ve always wanted a heavy duty camera and finally took the plunge ;)
Monday, November 17, 2008
what is your opinion of mac studio moisture fix cream compared to their moisturelush and lightful creams?
Monday, November 17, 2008
It’s not as heavy as Moisturelush – just like Lightful isn’t as heavy as Moisturelush. I prefer Moisturelush over the other two, though, just because of how moisturizing it is!
Monday, November 17, 2008
Hi Christine
I’ve never really used MAC products (though I love them – mainly due to budget restrictions) but now I’m going to splurge and spoil myself. So my question is, what foundation would you reccomend for a flawless look? It’s summer here in Aus, and I get VERY tan, so I need quite a dark foundation that will still look natural.
Thank you so much!
Monday, November 17, 2008
My favorite foundation is Studio Fix Fluid, which is ideal for skin that isn’t dry/flaky (because it has a matte finish). However, since it is summer by you, you might want to try the Mineralize Skinfinish Natural line. It’s very nice for a light foundation!
Monday, November 17, 2008
I have pretty light, sparse eyebrows and I was just wondering if you have any tips for products to make them look a little darker and fuller. I’m not sure what type of product is most effective – powder, or something more liquidy, etc. If it helps, I’m a MAC addict!
Tuesday, November 18, 2008
I personally prefer using powder shadows to fill in my brows (I use Espresso eyeshadow by MAC), I do feel like I get a more natural look this way. Sometimes I will set with Brow Set (in clear or the darkest one, I forget the name!), though. I do find it’s nice to keep the brows in place and does look natural.
Monday, November 17, 2008
Are there any MAC dupes for Jampacked Lipglass? They can be permanent or limited edition. I was thinking maybe Date Night Dazzleglass. Also what is a good red Lipglass or Lipstick that isn’t too bright or dark?
Tuesday, November 18, 2008
Try Desire :) Date Night is not similar at all – Jampacked is SO dark and vampy. Viva Glam I is a nice classic red – it stands out, but it’s not super bright nor dark at all.
Monday, November 17, 2008
I need ideas on what to do with Pandemonium eye shadow, any suggestions?
Tuesday, November 18, 2008
Smoky eyes!! That’s what I’d use it for, LOL.
Monday, November 17, 2008
How can you tell what undertones you have? For finding the right foundation match.. And is there a difference between yellow and olive undertones?
Tuesday, November 18, 2008
Blue veins = cool; green veins = warm. Yellow is more sallow, less warm and more neutral; olive tends to be more associated with warm and deeper.
Monday, November 17, 2008
What texture of eyeshadow is easiest to work wtih for a begginer – Cream, matte, pearl/shimmer e/s, or loose pigments? Can you maybe put them in order of “easiest” to “hardest”? Thanks!
Tuesday, November 18, 2008
Pearl/shimmer, cream, matte, loose pigment. I only list loose pigment last because it just depends – I find them really easy to use, because I use mixing medium with them, but if you don’t have mixing medium, they’re not as easy to work with! Cream shadows are harder to use if you have creasing problems. Matte shadows can be difficult to blend, depending on the base and the shadows themselves.
Monday, November 17, 2008
what is your favorite foundation? i’m looking for a new one and been using LM’s tinted foundation for a while now and want something with more coverage. i tried a sample of MUFE HD foundation and not totally sold on it yet. thanks
Tuesday, November 18, 2008
I love Studio Fix Fluid! It’s been my favorite since it came out! I find it’s a really good light to medium coverage foundation; you can build it up or sheer it out. It also has a matte finish (which is my favorite foundation finish). If you have drier skin, it might not work as well (again, because it’s matte) – you might try Select Tint (light coverage) or Face & Body (light to medium). I have both of those foundations as well, and I tend to use both in the summer.
Monday, November 17, 2008
favourite drugstore liquid liner?
trying to stay within budget!
hopefully something under $12 (USD)
Tuesday, November 18, 2008
I’ve only used Wet ‘n Wild’s liquid liner, to be honest! I had no problems with it – it was a bright teal liner, LOL.
Monday, November 17, 2008
What would you recommend for a nice plummy purple eyeshadow shade? (as opposed to one with more blue undertones, I already have enough of those!) From the look and description on the MAC website, I was thinking Plum Dressing? What would you suggest?
Tuesday, November 18, 2008
Plum Dressing is gorgeous! It’s very similar to Hepcat, which is nice, but I like the finish and pay off of Plum Dressing way more! :)
Tuesday, November 18, 2008
Hi Christine, I am very grateful that I found your site here. I’ve been browsing it regularly ever since. I just want to ask what are the basics to achieve bigger, more open eyes? I’m Asian and have really chinky ones and they say I should try lining my eyes with a white liner and not use dark eye shadows (but I love smoky eyes!). Help!
Tuesday, November 18, 2008
White eye liner is a great way to open up eyes, actually! Using something like Pearl or Shell CCB on the inner tear duct/corner of your eye can also really make your peepers pop. For Asian eyes, for those who don’t want to imitate a create, a great way is to do eyeshadow opposite of most people – darkest closest to the lash line, then fade upwards.
Tuesday, November 18, 2008
Hi Christine, i wear MAC powders in NW50, i want to know, can i try out your make-up looks on the site as they are (using the exact same eyeshadow shades)? if not, what do you suggest i do…
Also, can you please list 6 must-have MAC permanent eyeshadow shades …
Thanks!
Tuesday, November 18, 2008
Hi Olaronke! As long as you use a good base, the eye looks should turn out very similarly. As far as blushes go, you might have to go for a more pigmented solution (like if I go for a coral, you might find Foolish Me will work and show up better for you), though.
Do you have any parameters about those six shades? It’s so hard to pick just six. Here are the first six I can think of: Goldmine, Bronze, Freshwater, Humid, Shroom, Ricepaper.
Tuesday, November 18, 2008
thanks christine …
Tuesday, November 18, 2008
Hey Christine! Could you suggest one or two more pigmented reddish and pinkish MAC blushes that i can use …
Thanks!
Tuesday, November 25, 2008
Hmm, as far as pinkish goes, try DollyMix! That one is quite pigmented. I can’t think of any consumer red blushes – PRO has a whole slew of pigmented ones, though.
Tuesday, November 18, 2008
Hi christine! Thanks for holding this session, it’s really useful :)
I have really dark eyelids (i’m C40), and sometimes colors don’t show up as vibrantly on my eyes as they do on the pot :(. I do use primer and all. Any hints you can give?
Also, on the days when i don’t wear shadow, would you recommend that i apply concealer on my eyelids, finishing off with a dusting of loose powder, or is that overkill?
thanks loads!
Tuesday, November 18, 2008
What base are you using? I always find that a colored base can really get eyeshadows to pop when a neutral one (like UDPP) isn’t working as well.
You can certainly apply concealer and dust with powder, I don’t think it’s overkill at all. I think it would only add polish to your look!
Tuesday, November 18, 2008
Hey,
Can you recommend a product to contour my cheeks with? I have NC40 skin and I’m using Harmony blush at the moment, but find it a little pinky sometimes.
Thanks so much!
Tuesday, November 18, 2008
I really like Sculpt, which might be a touch too light for you. However, Sculpt is a PRO product these days, so it might be hard to get it for you.
Have you tried a MSF Natural? Those definitely won’t have any pink undertones when you go to use them. In a pinch, I’ll opt for a slightly darker foundation to contour if a blush isn’t working!
Tuesday, November 18, 2008
Hi Christine,
I was wondering what kind of makeup remover you use on your eyes (especially for taking off UD 24/7 liner!)
Thanks!
Annie
Tuesday, November 18, 2008
I use Lancome’s Bi-Facil with a Q-tip to remove eyeliner :)
Tuesday, November 18, 2008
thanks for this session….
can u pls suggest few MAC pigments which can be used more often and would look good on almost all eyes….
also some multi purpose ones like vanilla,,,,
expecting atleast 6 to 7 colors…:)
Tuesday, November 18, 2008
Pink Opal – highlighter, on lips, base
Tan – highlighter (for deeper complexions), base, smoky eyes
Melon – great base color, lips
Naked – neutral base, highlighter
Rose – cheeks, lips, pink base
Tuesday, November 18, 2008
thank you for replyin…:)
Tuesday, November 18, 2008
Hi thanks for taking questions! I love this blog, check it twice a day! Any suggestions for how to make blush last longer? i love nars orgasm (who doesn’t!) but it seems to fade away with 3 or 4 hours…
Tuesday, November 18, 2008
Try using a cream blush first, then dust your powder blush on top, and then finally set with a light/translucent loose powder! :)
Also, a face primer before you use foundation/blush might help, too!
Tuesday, November 18, 2008
Also! do you have a swatch of Nar’s holiday lipstick Canaille? Thanks girl!

Tuesday, November 18, 2008
Hi Christine. I was wondering what the difference is between the Mac beauty powders and the colored mineralized skin finishes – beyond the fact that one is a powder and the other is a solid…I know you can wear the skin finishes over blush, but can you also wear the beauty powder as a highlight at the same time – or would that be too much?
Tuesday, November 18, 2008
Beauty powders are finely milled products – the pressed ones are very subtle in color and shimmer. The loose beauty powders are more shimmery, but also tend to be subtler in color, too. Mineralize Skinfinishes have more shimmer than both (in my experience), but they can give color, especially for lighter skin tones. You can really layer however you want — it’s just going to depend on which products you use together as well as your application. :) You can definitely do it — nothing wrong with trying!
Tuesday, November 18, 2008
Hey Christine, I’ve been looking for a really good highlighter lately and there are just so many options that I have no idea where to begin! I was hoping to get one powder highlighter and one creamy one, but I wasn’t sure if there was any particular type. In terms of MAC, I was going to try out Pearl CCB and Strobe Cream, but I was wondering if NARS Albatross (the Multiple) would be better. In terms of powder, I really have no idea where to start. I wanted to ask you because I know you’ve got pretty tan skin, like me, so I wasn’t sure if there was a particular one that you liked (I remember Suncentered powder, but you always seem to have so many lovely cheek products :) ).
Also, if you have the time (and the interest), could you possibly feature/review some of the NARS products that you use? I’m a huge fan of the brand and I loved the swatch you did a zillion years ago of Indian Red/Moon Fleet.
As always, thanks!
Tuesday, November 18, 2008
To be honest, for highlighting? I prefer powders. If you want an all over sheen, Strobe Cream is awesome for that! I used to use it all the time, but it’s just been phased out of my routine (no particular reason–maybe I ran out, ha!). I have NARS Albatross in powder form, and I think it’s really pretty.
My favorite highlighter is Dior’s Amber Diamond – there’s really nothing I’ve liked more than that. Sure, plenty of great ones have come in and out of my rotation, but Amber Diamond is a STAPLE!
I’ve only recently started playing with NARS – their prices have always put me off. I’ll be sharing any NARS products I review, of course :)
Tuesday, November 18, 2008
Hi, what MAC lipgloss has the same/similar consistency as the glosses that are on the pro longwear lustre lipcolours? I find lipglasses to sticky. Thanks!
Tuesday, November 18, 2008
Try Plushglass or LipGelees. These are both non-sticky! Lustreglasses are somewhat sticky (I don’t personally find them particularly sticky – I don’t notice any myself).
Tuesday, November 18, 2008
Hi Christine, if i’m warm toned shld i look for a pink blush or a peachy blush? Thanks =)
Tuesday, November 18, 2008
You can wear either blush, Fridagal! :)
Tuesday, November 18, 2008
One more question (last one I promise hah!). I want to get some false lashses for christmas parties, any suggestions on something that isn’t too OTT but still bold and flirty? preferably mac so I can order it online
Tuesday, November 18, 2008
I’ve always liked #7s for lashes that go wow! but aren’t ridiculously fake. #36s are my favorites that I’ve seen on others – they are so perfect.
Tuesday, November 18, 2008
Hi,
I need a good face and eye remover, what would you recommend?
I have semi dried and sensitive skin. Been using clinique liquid facial soap (2) and my skin have been acting up.
thanks!
Tuesday, November 18, 2008
I like Lancome Bi-Facil for eye makeup removing, and I like Philosophy’s Purity Made Simple for face makeup :)
Tuesday, November 18, 2008
Hi Christine!
How do you make lip color with loose pigments? What else can pigments be used for?
Thanks!
Tuesday, November 18, 2008
Just mix them with gloss :) It can be clear gloss or colored — up to you. You can use them in your hair, mixed with body or face lotion, with clear nail polish (or colored), blush, highlighters, bases, shadows.
Tuesday, November 18, 2008
Hey, sorry, it’s me again with another quick highlighter question…I was thinking, can I use loose pigments for highlighting? I’m really worried they’re just going to fall all over the place and I don’t really wear any sort of primer. I was told once that I could mix pigments with lotion to get a “strobe cream” effect…do you know if that’s true?
Also, would you go for the Dior SkinShimmer over Bobbi Brown’s Shimmer Bricks?
Well, I guess if I’m here I can stick in another question :) When you did the Bobbi Brown look, you used eyeshadows that gave off sort of a “Your Eyelid But Better” look, and I was wondering…would you have any recommendations for shadows with that same effect but for slightly tanner skintones?
Tuesday, November 18, 2008
You can use them for highlighting! I don’t really find that they fall all over the place, but admittedly, I don’t use them that often on my face. The more finely milled the pigment, the less fall out that will occur. Yes, you can mix pigment with lotion to get something akin to Strobe Cream (try Vanilla).
I’d definitely go for Dior Skin Shimmers over the Shimmer Bricks, no hesitation whatsoever!
To get “your eyelid but better,” it’s finding a shadow that’s similar to your lid color, but probably a shade or two lighter. On the outer lid, you want something with the same undertones. For a crease, you basically want to contour the area, so you want a neutral shadow that’s two or three shades darker than the lid color.
Tuesday, November 18, 2008
Hi, Christine! You mentioned before that you use Dermalogica Sunblock spray for your face. Do you directly spray it on your face? Does it sting your eyes? I want to try a sunblock spray instead of lotion on my face. Am interested in trying Dermalogica. Thanks!
Tuesday, November 25, 2008
Yes, I just spray it on my face! I do close my eyes when I spray it, and it doesn’t sting my eyes thus far. It definitely irritates them less so than the majority of sunscreens and I rarely find it gets into my eyes!
Tuesday, November 18, 2008
Hi Christine,
Thanks for the post… it’s been so helpful.
Well, I just bought the Mineralize Sheersheen Silver Aura and I don’t know which look to use with it. Do you have any idea of look that would be nice to wear the Silver Aura?
Tuesday, November 25, 2008
Try it with a smoky eye! :) You could also use it to cool down any brighter blush, too.
Tuesday, November 18, 2008
I recently bought Antiqued eyeshadow…but I’m not sure what to use it with…I want to be able to turn the look from day to night. help!
Thanks in advanced!!
Tuesday, November 25, 2008
Try it with golds and light beiges — then smoke it up with a dark brown or black in the crease.
Tuesday, November 18, 2008
Hi Christine, me again!
Thanks for your advice on the foundation :-) Will bear it in mind when I go makeup shopping next week! On that note, I decided today that it is time my entire “makeup wadrobe” got an overhaul. As I’ve become a massive fan of MAC, I will be heading to the concept store next week. My question is, what are the “must have products” I should purchase? My aim is to get products that will give me a fantastic “base”, so my main focus is on blushers, bronzers, highlighters, etc.
Tuesday, November 25, 2008
Hey Louise!
I totally recommend you check out a series I did on everything MAC: http://www.temptalia.com/mac-cosmetics-guide-for-the-newly-addicted
Tuesday, November 18, 2008
So what do you think of the Dazzle Lash mascara? I saw the pictures but I don’t believe there is a review. Could you compare it to the Plush Lash?
Thanks!
Tuesday, November 25, 2008
Hey Neena! It’s just OK for me. I need thickening, and this mascara is more about separating and lengthening.
Tuesday, November 18, 2008
temptalia
what do you think og mini eyelash curlers? (more specifically, the shu uemura mini eyelash curler). also, is it necessary to use a full size curler with a mini?
thankyou?
Tuesday, November 25, 2008
I don’t think you need to use a full size curler with a mini… it just depends on your eye size. If you have smaller eyes, a mini is probably better for you!
Wednesday, November 19, 2008
Hi Christine!
Do you have a list of your drugstore favorites somewhere? I’m unfortunately on a tight budget this year.
Tuesday, November 25, 2008
Hey Lina!
I actually don’t — to be honest, once I got into MAC, I never looked back. I do like L’Oreal De-Crease for a budget base. NYX is a great drugstore brand that has a lot of pigmented shadows and products overall. L’Oreal’s HIP line is similar to MAC, though I consider it pricey for a drugstore brand — if you can catch it on sale, though, then it’s not so bad!
Wednesday, November 19, 2008
Christine – if you somehow broke your camera(s) and had to buy a new one…which one would you get? If you don’t know specifics, then which brand would you get and what kind of features would it have to have?
Tuesday, November 25, 2008
Responded to you via email :)
Wednesday, November 19, 2008
Hi, Christine. I got a question on runway model look.
I think it’s emanuel ungaro. There’s a model featured on a magazine and she looks like hilary rhoda. She had black liquid liner along lash line and a fuschia pink on top along the black liner. I really like that look. But I don’t know where to get that bright dark pink liquid liner. I think the makeup artist is Pat McGrath again. THANKS :)
Tuesday, November 25, 2008
To be honest, I haven’t a clue where you could get dark pink liquid liner. I can only think of MAC PRO products (like Chromacakes, paint sticks, etc.) mixed with the eyeliner mixing medium.
Thursday, November 20, 2008
Hi Christine,
I’ve been eyeing up Newly Minted eyeshadow for a while and am thinking of getting it :o) . I was thinking I’d like to use it as a lid colour and also, alternatively, as a crease colour. Could you suggest some nice colour combinations and shades which would go well with it? Thanks!
Tuesday, November 25, 2008
You can try it with other teals like Steamy, go lighter and use it with beiges and taupes like Ricepaper, too!
Thursday, November 20, 2008
hi,
can u suggest a dupe for an e/s called unwind which was antique gold from nowel twist eye palate
also, i would like to know a dupe for other wordly blush, not in terms of shade but in term of shine…does that make sense?? i mean i need something like that to be used as highlighter, for that glow…
thnks
Tuesday, November 25, 2008
The only real antique gold that MAC has is Patina, which is not the best.
I’d definitely suggest checking out MAC’s loose beauty powders for that glow you want :)
Friday, November 21, 2008
ok.. so i dont own any lipsticks or non-clear lipglosses. is there any way i can do a nude lip without having to go out and buy a nude colored lipgloss or stick?
Tuesday, November 25, 2008
Foundation!
Monday, November 24, 2008
If I use a make-up primer (Philosophy On A Clear Day Protection Cream), do I still need to use a shadow primer (Too Faced Shadow Insurance or UDPP)?
Tuesday, November 25, 2008
Yes, you probably will! A face primer isn’t quite the same as an eyeshadow primer :)
Wednesday, November 26, 2008

Hi Kirsten,
You could do a smoky eye or a gold eye with red lips! It depends on what feature you’d like to stand out more :)
