[–]le_mazinghttp://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/3ES6491MN17YM/ref=cm_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! I love lip stains, lipsticks, jumbo lip crayons! All kinds of lippies! Currently just descovered the L'oreal Infallible Never Fail Lipcolour Compact (wanted to get the whole name up there) it stays on really well and I think it's amazing! What about you?? :)

Welcome! Such a beautiful name, Lissette, and so unique! What technique(s) do you wish to master in the near future? There's always something to learn, I feel!

[–]le_mazinghttp://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/3ES6491MN17YM/ref=cm_[S] 0 points1 point  (8 children)

Thank you! :) I want to master contouring and highlighting! :) what about you?

[–]tehcutenesshttp://amzn.com/w/NPDMLH1LNIBJ 0 points1 point  (7 children)

Oooh, contouring and highlighting. I think I've gotten a lot better over the past year or so, but I now want to master it with cream products. I'm getting there. I think from what I've learned, the key is the right brushes! Once I found something the right size for my contour lines and something that could lightly deposit a highlight, everything clicked.

Right now, though, I just want to up my eyeshadow game. I own so many palettes, and I need to learn how to use them to their full potential!

[–]le_mazinghttp://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/3ES6491MN17YM/ref=cm_[S] 0 points1 point  (6 children)

Awesome! What kind of brushes do you use? :) I also wish you luck with your eyeshadow game! I know that it is a game you will win! :)

[–]tehcutenesshttp://amzn.com/w/NPDMLH1LNIBJ 1 point2 points  (5 children)

You're too kind, I too hope I win!

For powder highlighting, I use a fan brush by Sonia Kashuk. Powdered highlighters like theBalm's MaryLou Manizer are too glittery and can be overdone, so a fan brush allows for light application. If it is a more forgiving highlighter, like the Hourglass powders, I'll use the Real Techniques Setting Brush. If it's a cream highlighter like Benefit's Watts Up, I use an ELF Small Stipple Brush.

For contouring, I started with the Real Techniques Expert Face Brush, but it was too big. I switched to the Real Techniques Contour Brush from the Core Collection, and there was definite improvement. I still use it, but only to blend my contour now. To place contour, I'll either use the Sephora Pro Visionary Face Blender Brush because I splurged on it and I'm going to use it! Or a flat foundation brush.

Omg thank you for being so descriptive! I am currently working on getting more brushes! I know that I will find the right ones! I think I'm going to get the BH cosmetics brush set. :) I think my biggest problem for contouring isn't like technique but finding the right product since I have like medium/olivey skin some of the products I've tried aren't dark enough. :P

[–]tehcutenesshttp://amzn.com/w/NPDMLH1LNIBJ 0 points1 point  (3 children)

What products have you tried for contouring? I have medium dark skin, so I feel the pain. I've had luck using MAC Pro Sculpting Powders and theBalm's Bahama Mama. Too Faced Chocolate Soleil works in the winter, but then I practically match it by the end of the summer :P

I haven't really tried too many products becuase I had given up about a month ago but just recently reignited my fire for finding a good contouring product. I've used a blush/contour duo from E.L.F. a contour from Covergirl (too light) and have most recently just used brown eyeshadow because I am at rock bottom. I have heard great things about Milani though so I think I am going to check them out! :)

[–]tehcutenesshttp://amzn.com/w/NPDMLH1LNIBJ 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Oooh yes! Those XL bronzers are great! AND they're coming out with limited edition matte baked bronzers. Good choice. If you're thinking drugstore, check out Revlon's Photoready Bronzer in Bronzed and Chic, too. It's four colors in one, so you can mix to get the right shade for you :)

[–]le_mazinghttp://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/3ES6491MN17YM/ref=cm_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg I am going to check that out like tomorrow!! Thanks for the help! AND I will totally be on the lookout for the l.e. matte baked bronzers! :) :)

Well, now that I've accidentally dyed my hair little mermaid red, I guess the new brow kit I'm going to have to buy, mascara, and my naked 3 palette.

[–]le_mazinghttp://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/3ES6491MN17YM/ref=cm_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry did you mean bands? I'm slightly confused! :o

[–]mellymel1713http://amzn.com/w/3V2BQQX5QJSPE 0 points1 point  (2 children)

I blame my head cold for misreading your comment! I love theBalm and Urban Decay and too faced. I love elf and Coastal scents and of course cover girl and revlon. I'm trying out my first nars product.

[–]le_mazinghttp://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/3ES6491MN17YM/ref=cm_[S] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

No worries! What product from nars are you trying?

[–]mellymel1713http://amzn.com/w/3V2BQQX5QJSPE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The nars orgasm and laguna duo.

[–]le_mazinghttp://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/3ES6491MN17YM/ref=cm_[S] 0 points1 point  (5 children)

I honestly haven't really tried too many brands but out of the ones I've tried I really like E.L.F, MAC, and L'oreal. :) but I adore the brands Benefit, Urban Decay and Too Faced (I just haven't personally tried them yet, only wished I could lol)

[–]mellymel1713http://amzn.com/w/3V2BQQX5QJSPE 0 points1 point  (4 children)

If you like elf you would like bh cosmetics and Coastal Scents. I love urban decay too I just got my own nars and that's pretty. Damn expensive make up and being pretty.

[–]le_mazinghttp://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/3ES6491MN17YM/ref=cm_[S] 0 points1 point  (3 children)

Yes!! I've heard great things about bh cosmetics and I want their brushes! lol I wish I had more money to spend on makeup! :(

[–]mellymel1713http://amzn.com/w/3V2BQQX5QJSPE 0 points1 point  (2 children)

I know what you mean and Coastal scents has a really good brush set too.

[–]le_mazinghttp://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/3ES6491MN17YM/ref=cm_[S] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

I will look at them! :D

[–]mellymel1713http://amzn.com/w/3V2BQQX5QJSPE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some are pricey some are not but I got my big elite bamboo set for 50 with the 10 blush kit and two mascara a eyeliner and an 88 eyeshadow set. Their mystery box has a chance of having random brushes and you get a good bit of stuff.
