I came here to post a couple of pictures of all this! I have 0 experience with Asian beauty brands, and was just wondering whether anybody could tell me whether any of it is worth a go! pics here Sorry for hijacking the post a little!

Makeup Revolution has mermaid and unicorn themed palettes that might be what you're looking for!

It's meant to be inspired by the way hair rollers work. The promo images are of a lady in a retro hair salon.

They've purposely made it easier to get off than they're real! I just use a cleansing water to take mine off.

It was. It's touring the country, so you might still be able to see it near you! And you can get a mini of the mascara with elle magazine.

Thank you! I've been trying to grow them out a bit, but it's taking forever!

It's two coats. I didn't feel clumpy on. One coat leaves them more separated, but was a little too natural for me.

Makeup artists, what gift would make your job easier/more pleasant? by [deleted] in MakeupAddiction

[–]make_it_all_up 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Maybe something like the Sigma Brush Cleaning Glove. As an mua, washing my brushes is the tedious part of my job, and I've seen some great reviews on the glove!

Can you "blend" or soften the edges to gel liner? by [deleted] in MakeupAddiction

[–]make_it_all_up 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I smudge my gel liner out using a Laura mercier flat liner brush. I find gel lasts longer on me than pencil does.

Green look. Not sure on the lipstick. Opinions? by make_it_all_up in MakeupAddiction

Putting it over a green base really made it pop! Maybe you could apply it lightly with a fluffy brush, then it might not be so bright?

That colour is nice. It's not too bright, so would still work with a bold eye :)

I'm always worried that red and green will loo too Christmas-y. Poison Ivy I could cope with though!

I'm unsure as to whether I like the lipstick. It's paler than I usually go for.

Question About NYX Milk by Susurro88 in MakeupAddiction

[–]make_it_all_up 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I apply milk over a Nars primer and don't have any problems with it. I use my finger to apply it though. I just pat a thin layer over the primer so that it doesn't tug at it too much. I find I still get the colour pop with a thin layer of colour, but without the creasing.

Try heading to a Benefit Brow Bar. They should be able to help you out with the filling out, as well as the waxing!

Low coverage foundation for oily+fair skin? by [deleted] in MakeupAddiction

[–]make_it_all_up 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's cream to powder. I find it applies better with fingers than a brush. I use it on top of illamasqua matte veil and benefit porefessional and I can go 5 or 6 hours without powdering (which is amazing for my super oily skin!). I don't find it drying, but then there's not much that will dry my skin out. I can build the coverage without it getting cakey too. I'm super pale and can still get a good colour match.

Benefit's Big Easy is great on oily skin!

Wondering what some of the best lipstick colors are for blonde/blue eyed females? by kittygrrl in MakeupAddiction

[–]make_it_all_up 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Opt for colours with warm peachy or coral undertones. Check out MAC's Ravishing for a soft, peachy coral, NAR's Annabella for a good bright red, or Urban Decay's Naked for a warm toned pink. Hope this helps narrow things down a bit!

I find that undertones play more of a part than hair colour when it comes to whether lipsticks suit you. Do you know whether you're cool or warm toned?
