Do you have a question idea? Submit yours here.
I use my Wet n Wild Fergie eyeshadow primer, MAC Utterly Becoming LE paint pot, and MAC eyelash curler every single day!
WNW eyeshadow primer, WNW Brulee shadow, uhhh whatever mascara I have on hand, tbh!
UD Primer Potion (original), MAC’s Blacktrack Fluidline, Benefits They’re Real mascara.
My current favorites are the Lorac Pro palette and Orgins Ginzing eye cream. I’ve been looking for a good full coverage under eye concealer, anyone have any suggestions? I’ve recently tried the Estee Lauder double wear concealer that I’m on the fence about…
I love it cosmetics’ bye bye undereye concealer, it’s hydrating. Another option would be Craig’s blu-ray concealer, if you can get past the scent, it’s really good too.
Cargo (not craig, autocorrect) sorry!
NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer is amazing. It covers my extremely dark circles very well, looks natural on and doesn’t settle into fine lines.
As much as eyeshadows are a huge part of my routine, I never wear it without the following:
Mascara-my top pick is L’Oréal Voluminous in Black
Primer/base-it varies, depending which works best with a particular shadow
Eyebrow pencil-WnW Eye Pencil in Black
Mine are:
Guerlain The Eye Pencil in Jackie Brown
MAC Brow Set in Beguile
NARS Smudge Proof Eyeshadow Base
Love the name Jackie Brown, I have to check that out.
YSL Baby Doll mascara, Makeup For Ever Brow Seal, Benefit Eye Bright… don’t really need anything else 😀
Stila In The Know palette
Pupa stick concealer
Estee Lauder Resilience Lift eye cream
Tough one.i like your answers! I’m still trying to find what suits me as my skin goes through a change but they’d be Lancôme waterproof concealer ( Blends all around eye and stays on forever & not hard to remove, Joie Argan Gogo mascara (makes lashes soft dark and full), and Mac Lightscspade MSF (as a setting powder/highlight)
1. Eye cream: I don’t exactly have a favorite for this, and I often just use a regular moisturizer that’s richer than what I normally use, or mix my regular moisturizer with rosehip oil.
2. Eye primer: My eyeshadow creases in five minutes if I don’t wear any. My current favorites include NARS Pro Prime and Jesse’s Girl. I feel the NARS one has better protection against creasing on me.
3. Calligraphy-tipped liquid eyeliner pen: I like them SO much better than felt-tipped pen since it has better control and doesn’t wear out nearly as quickly. Favorites include Dollywink Liquid Eyeliner and Jesse’s Girl Liquid Eyeliner Pen.
Benefit BADgal Mascara, MAC Brow Shader in Browning (LONG discontinued), and MAC 208 Angled Brow Brush. If I have NO time, these are all I use.
Most haves are all from L’Oreal right now but I need to branch out badly!
Clarins Be Long mascara (and that’s huge for me as I’m not a mascara fan), any good eye shadow primer (UDPP, TooFaced any of the “cream” shadows that work as primers) and, as always, GOSH Metallic Brass liner pencil.
MAC Soba eyeshadow and Laura Mercier’s Caviar Stick in Sand Glow are getting a lot of love right now. So is Urban Decay 24/7 eyeliner in Apathy. I wish they would make Apathy permanent.
For me it’s three shades in my Urban Decay Vice 2 palette that I got for my birthday. Betryal, Prank and Ambush.
NARS Smudge Proof Eye Shadow Base, any sort of tinted brow gel, & Benefit They’re Real.
1. A good eyeshadow primer, either Urban Decay’s Primer Potion or Too Faced’s Shadow Insurance.
2. Urban Decay’s Naked3 palette.
3. Illamasqua’s Black eyeliner cake.
NYX Single Eyeshadow in Black (used as an eyebrow filler)
ELF Small Smudge Studio Brush (used to fill in my eyebrows)
Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-on Double-Ended Eye Pencil in Zero/Whiskey
1. OCC’s loose color in Clove: I’ve had this for ages, but all of a sudden in love with it’s peachy/goldness. I use this one a lot for simple one and done with liner; great texture and not too OTT shimmer. Like the way the light plays off it.
2. NARS surbaya: tried and true and pigmented beyong belief. I love wearing both these shadows with purple or burgandy (MAC Palace Pedigreed or MAC Sketch) around the eye graduating out to either the copper or gold in this duo. Works great on green/hazel eyes.
3. Ombre brows: With my hair being just shy of black now, I want brows that will stand up to the intensity of my hair, but don’t look scousey. I use a ridiculous number of products, but the ombre effect is fun to do and I like the results. Tails to arch = Illamasqua eye brow cake in Gaze, Body of brow= Laura Mercier brow definer gel in Warm, Beginning of brow in the lightest shade from Anastasia Highlighting brow kit.
Waaay more than 3 products,, sorry.
1. Laura Mercier Artist Palette
2. Anastasia Brow Gel
3. Guerlain Lip Primer (yes for my lids. It’s magically better than other eye primers I’ve tried.)
Nars primer, urban Decay Ocho Loco 24/7 liner colors and the Lancôme Hypnose Star mascara sample I got from Sephora
Benefit They’re Real mascara, Urban Decay Eden primer, and Urban Decay Perversion liner.
Khiels Midnight Recovery eye
Anastasia Dip Brow pomade (life changing!)
Chanel Inimitable mascara
All drugstore stuff! L’Oreal Miracle Blue eye cream, Maybelline Rocket Volum’ Express mascara, Maybelline Color Tattoo Cream Gel eye shadow.
blinc mascara (doesn’t flake, smudge), right now i am using blinc eyebrow gel but i prefer the benefit gimme brow, and that’s about it i haven’t not found an eye liner that doesn’t smudge or disappear and i’ve tried drugstore and department store brands so i just dont wear it and i workout every day and just dont bother to wear eyeshadow.
1)NARS Coconut Grove eyeshadow. I use it for brows, crease defining, and sometimes a liner!
2) L’oreal Voluminous Mascara
3) Mac Swiss Chocolate for transition color
Right now my three must-have eye products are: Diorshow Iconic Overcurl Mascara the only mascare that gives my skimpy short (thank you early menopause, boo!) lashes lenght, curl & volume; MUFE Black Aqua Waterproof Cream Eye Shadow (I wear contacts & it doesn’t budge); StriVectin TL 360 deg Tightening Eye Serum.
My naked palettes (yes, I’m including all 3..err 4 if you include basics…call me a cheater!), Tarte’s new matte palette (I’ve been a sucker for matte’s lately), aaaand UD eyeliners. I can’t name a specific one because I’ve been using several for just that little pop of color and they work great.
MAC Paintpot in Painterly (I use it as a primer), KIKO eyebrow designer (brow gel) and Milani Liquid Eye pencil eyeliners in brown or black.
Nars pro-prime
Chanel Voluminous mascara
Chanel Charming palette (I’ve been using at least one shade every day I wore makeup since I bought it)
Max Factor False Lash Effect mascara (I’ve actually been trying out L’Oreal 24h Black Smoke to see if it’s better. But so far a big no! It irritates my eyes and flakes.)
Catrice brown gel liner (dc’d so need to find another one and I’m not impressed enough with the Maybelline one to buy again).
Catrice eye shadows.
MAC Mystery, Illamasqua Brow Gel, BareMinerals Flawless Definition Mascara.
Every day: Tom Ford eyelid primer, Guerlain Cils D’Enfer Maxi Lash in Noir, Anastasia Brow Powder Duo in Granite. My eyeshadows and liners change daily.
Maybellines The Rocket, color tattoo in tough as taupe and Guerlain’s the eye pencil kohl in black jack!
Nars eyeshadow primer, Tarte Be Mattenificent (only because most of my stash is shimmer-central), and Rimmel Scandaleyes nude liner to wake up my face!
My Chanel curlers, my YSL mascara and any of my Urban Decay 24/7 liners!
Bobbi Brown under eye corrector, mascara (my current favorite is Bare Ecentuals Buxom Lash), and MAC Saddle eyeshadow.
NARS Smudge Proof Eyeshadow Base. The only primer that makes my eyeshadow last longer than two hours.
MAC Painterly Paintpot. Covers up my veiny, discolored lids and matches my skin perfectly (I swear I could wear it as foundation, lol). Doesn’t crease.
Chanel Inimitable Mascara. I have full, long-ish lashes and most mascaras play the game of “let’s turn 100 lashes into 5 thick clumpy ones” – and win! Chanel Inimitable is good at separating the lashes and gives the right amount of volume and length.
MAC Painterly PP (my everyday eyeshadow primer), Blacktrack Fluidline and Spiked eyebrow pencil :D!
I’ve been using Benefit Lemon Aid, Flower Cosmetics cream shadow in Mum’s the Word (pink) and MASCARA! It’s Essence called something like “I Heart Big Lashes” or something like that. Best thickening mascara of all that I’ve tried.
M.A.C Paint Pot in Painterly, Eye Lash Curler, Nars Misfit (The Ecru Shade)
I am feeling the need for something very different from my Naked palettes right now. I just purchased the Dior Trianon palette although I haven’t tried it out yet. I’m thinking about the latest Kat Von D palette. I’m not one of her fans but the colors are speaking to me.
MAC Haute and Naughty Too Black mascara, Urban Decay Anti-Aging Eyeshadow Primer Potion (not because it is anti-aging as much as because it is so smooth), and MAC Blacktrack Fluidline eyeliner.
Anastasia Dip Brow in Chocolate.
Mac Eclair pro longwear paint pot ( the absolute best).
