    Could the brushes I'm using be irritating my face?

    Hi ladies, I'm currently in the process of converting all my brushes from Bare Escentuals to MAC. I got the Bare Escentuals for free so I've just been using those to get by. I love my MAC eye brushes but I still need to get some face ones. Right now I feel like the Flawless Face BE brush I'm...

    Am I doing something wrong with eyeshadow?

    Hi all, I'm new to the forum and have searched for this issue but can't seem to find it. I've just started getting into makeup, specifically eyemakeup, but have been having a problem of either a) getting eyeshadow on my lashes so that even when I put mascara on it still looks "lightly powdered"...
