    Some advice please about me and my boyfriend?

    Any advice would be much appreciated. I have been with my boyfriend for a year now. I'm in my 30s and he's in his 40s, and he is still married even though he and his wife separated 10 years ago. They have two children. He's not good at all at showing his emotions. He used to be very...

    Brow colour help for very dark hair

    My hair is very very dark brown, almost black (the avatar photo is about 2 years old). I have been using Concrete e/s as a brow filler. I thought it was dark enough. However in a photo taken the other night, it looks much too light and actually looked quite ridiculous. Anyone know of a better...

    Bobbi Brown Corrector - can anyone recommend a shade for me?

    I am nowhere near a BB counter unfortunately but would really like to try the Corrector. I am very pale cool toned (around NW15ish) and have blue/pinky undereye circles. On the BB site she says bisque neutralises pinky-blue undereye darkness, yet so many people on MUA say to go for the peach...

    Who makes your favourite false lashes?

    I've only used Mac ones so far....from them I love the #20 half lashes for a more natural look, and I have tried some of the full lashes but haven't found a particular set I love yet. Do you have a favourite brand for false lashes? If so which one and which are your favourite lashes from them...

    The best eyeliner brush so far

    I found this great angled brush which I wanted to share. I am heavy handed and don't always get my eyeliner right - this has helped me so much, it is so tiny and thin and is easy to control for a very precise line, and I find it great for doing a flick of eyeliner at the sides too. It's from...

    Problems with Bobbi Brown's Stonewashed Nudes palette

    I recently got this palette from Bobbi Brown and decided to use it today. In the palette the colours look very pretty, some shimmery and some matte. Wearing them though was a different story, they barely showed up (and I am very pale), the shimmery ones were not shimmery at all on my lids and...

    Synthetic makeup brushes

    Does anyone know of any companies that sell only synthetic makeup brushes? They have to be not too expensive and available to buy online. I have been trawling all afternoon but can't find what I'm looking for. I like the look of Lumiere but half the synthetic ones I'm interested in are sold...

    Anyone here in the UK been affected by the floods?

    I got stuck at home all weekend, we couldn't get out of the village. We all had to leave work early on Friday and I had to leave my car here, and go home in someone's 4x4. Bit of a scary drive home. It took forever to get in to work today as I tried 3 different ways but all were blocked by...

    SPF and Freckles: is my SPF not working?

    I'll admit first I don't know a lot about SPFs....just recently my freckles on my face have become MUCH more obvious - not that I mind too much as I quite like them but it made me wonder if the products I have are not working...I've been using Sofina Lucent spf 50 for a long time, and recently...

    Makeup for long faces?

    Hi everyone! I have what is known as a long face shape, and I wondered if anyone had any tips out there for makeup to balance it out somehow? I've looked it up on search engines but haven't found much. Except I've always wanted arched brows but apparently should have long straight ones Any...

    Um...skinfinishes...?

    OK, I don't get to my MAC counter very often sadly, it's nowhere near where I work (perhaps it's time to change jobs)...anyway, I keep reading about skinfinishes and I have Shimpagne, but what are the Natural ones like, in the colours Light, Medium etc? What do they do to the skin, are they like...

    Hello from England!

    Hi everyone, I've been lurking for a few weeks and have just found this site _amazing_ for all the advice and lovely people on it and I've got so much inspiration from all the looks. I love makeup but am not the most creative with it so it's wonderful to see what it can really do in the right...
