What are your biggest pet peeves about the makeup on the market? What would you change about it? What products do you want but can't find? What are some things that have solved your past cosmetic dilemmas of this nature? My answers: Biggest pet peeves: -Shortage of lipstick colors available...

I'm looking for a lipstick the color of blueberry glaze: something between blue and purple, a bit on the purple side. I haven't been able to find any so far. If you know of any, please post them here. Pics would be great, if you can find them. Thanks!

Hypothetical situation: Let's say the makeup fairy visits you, waves her wand, and gives you the power to make a makeup color out of anything you want. Like let's say you're walking around, and you see something really pretty (like a butterfly, a seashell, whatever). You think "Wow, that color...

I like the lipglasses for their colors and durability, but they are so sticky that my hair sticks to my lips if it happens to fall in my face. Are the other lipgloss finishes sticky as well, or are there any non-sticky ones?

Take this quiz and post what you get: http://www.transmeridiantraveler.com/sleep-test.php I'm and extreme night owl (my score on that test was 17). What about you?

What do you do to emphasize your cheekbones? What products do you use? I generally find that highlighting is easier to do than contouring, so I use a pale pink or peachy blush (MAC Cool Pink pigment mixed with foundation primer or Kevyn Aucoin Tansoleil Apricot mixed with MAC Pure White...

I apologize if this is a double post. I posted it a few hours ago, but it disappeared (maybe when the forum got hacked?), so I am posting it again. I once tried a sample of Lancome Definicils, and it was the only mascara I have ever had good results with. It is quite expensive, and I don't...

Most of the nude, french manicure shades I have tried are too pale for me such that they don't look natural. My skintone is MAC NC35, and my nailbeds are naturally very pink. What are some nude nail polishes that work for darker skintones? Please post what color your nailbeds are naturally...

Mods, please don't move this to MAC chat, because I'm asking about all brands of mixing mediums, not just MAC. Thanks. Have you tried any mixing mediums? What kind? What is it like? What would you recommend it for? Has anyone tried the MAC Pro's Mixing Medium for Face and Body? What...

I'm curious to know what the undertone of olive skin is, because I'm having trouble finding a face products (i.e. stuff like foundation, powder, and concealer) in exactly the right shade. Pink based colors don't match, and the yellow based colors I have tried so far look too orange. The only...

I am looking for a good moisturizer to use on my face. My skin is normal to oily, but less oily in the cheek area than the t-zone. I am noticing some dryness, flakiness, and very slight irritation on my cheeks. I am trying to find a moisturizer that will help fix this. I want something...

I know we can edit our own posts, but is it possible to edit the thread titles? I don't see a way to do it, so I thought I'd ask.

I can't stand the feel of sunscreen lotion on my skin, especially on my hands. It feels so sticky, and I notice that it tends to ruin my manicures (It leaves a coating on nailpolish which dulls the shine and does not wash off even with soap and water). Also, it makes my face look and feel...

Does anyone know of any metallic / chrome / frosted nailpolishes that happen to be the same color as the pink and blue iPod Mini's? If you do please post them here. Pics would be nice. Thanks.
