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 for those of us with naturally bluish pink lips, most of them look too orangey on me and clash with my coloring
-Not enough matte eyeshadows and blushes that blend well, especially in cream formulations, pigment powders, and mineral makeup. It seems like there's shiny stuff in almost everything. I like shimmer, but I have to be careful where I put it or else it doesn't flatter my face, and can look ridiculous when photographed.
-I'd like to see more good highligher blushes, most blushes are too bright or too dark to work on me (no idea why; I'm not even particularly pale)
-A lot of the really great colors and products keep getting discontinued and not re-released (examples: MAC Blueberry Fizz lipstick, several really pretty MAC eyeliner shades, Sally Hansen Nail Prisms...)
-It's hard to find light, bright colored eyeliner pencils in a variety of shades (there are some really nice ones out there, such as MAC Light as Air (light, bright, frosty blue) and Urban Decay Honey (metallic gold), but I want more colors!
-I wish there were more multichrome and microglitter pigments in nail polish, like in the Sally Hansen Nail Prisms (example picture: Turquoise Opal over black)
That's it for now, I'll post more later. What about you?
