    MUA/Hair Stylist/Photog's Asst. Needed in Phoenix

    Don't know if this is the right place to post this (I have that problem a lot). Basically, I'm looking for a MUA in the Phoenix (probably North Phoenix) area to help me out on a shoot currently scheduled for June 20th (very, very early in the day). I can give you examples of what we're going...

    Photo Shoot in Phoenix - Need YOUR Opinion!

    Hello ladies and gents. I have a funny feeling this is going to come across as extreme vanity, so I'd like to apologize in advance. Basically, I've got a photo shoot coming up in a couple of months, and I'll be doing my own makeup (which is fine; I can deal). I just have NO IDEA where I want...

    How shimmery is "Orgasm" blush?

    I used to use MAC blush in Style, which is a Frost formulation. I really like the color, but noticed that the frosty/shimmery-ness of it tends to accentuate my acne scarring, as I hear is quite common. I really want to get Orgasm, but I'm worried I might have the same problem. Any input on...

    Need a quick-fix for acne scars

    So I understand that there is already a thread related to scars, but most of that has to do with healing and finding a permanent solution, which I know is a very time-consuming process. That's not what I'm looking for, so please don't bump my post. Basically, I have indented ice-pick scars...

    Recs for Arwen - LOTR

    Hey, ladies and gents. I need some help. My son plans to be Gandalf for Halloween and that means I get to be Arwen Evenstar. I've got the costume and the latex ears, and it seems like the make-up should be easy, but . . . nothing is easy for me. Here are a couple of pics, so you can get a feel...

    Trax, Star Violet and Club

    Hi! Um....I have these three shades, and I think I wanna wear them together, but I'm afraid I won't be able to pull it off right. What do you all think? Like....I'm thinking like...Trax as a base (maybe) with Star Violet on the inner 1/3 and Club on the outer 1/3 /crease. Maybe. And then...

    Foundation help, please?

    I originally posted this elsewhere, but only got one reply. So either my post was way too long or it was in the wrong place. I'll try to clean it a bit, either way. I have pretty oily skin, shine like crazy by about 11:30 every day and end up redoing my make-up about 1/2 way through the day...

    Foundation help, please!?!?!?

    I'm not sure if I'm posting this in the correct place; maybe it should go into "Recommendations." But I chose this forum because MAC just isn't doing it for me. I still LOVE MAC, don't get me wrong. I'm just frustrated. Basically, I have very oily skin. I shine like crazy by about 11:30...

    Spring Fling (Yah, I wish)

    I am in desperate need of some new eye colors. I have this big, huge monster thing of about 50 shadows, but they are Ulta brand and very much suck ass. Sorry for the bluntness. As far as MAC goes, I have very little. Here goes: Haunted (LE) Waft Gentle Fume Rondelle Carbon (Yes, I bought...

    Weird, paranoid, kind of embarrassing question...

    Okay, so, you'll have to excuse me if this is too personal to go in the "MAC Chat" area, but it seemed the most fitting. Basically, our Nordstrom out here is having a trend show on Saturday and MAC will be doing makeovers after that. I scheduled an appointment with a MA, and I'm hoping maybe...

    First attempt at Gentle Fume quad FOTD

    Okay, so I usually don't use more than 2 shades of e/s at a time, mostly because I'm incredibly lazy. Maybe for going out I'll spend more time, but for the most part it's just not worth it. HOWEVER, since I got the quad, I figured I should put it to use. Remember, this is my first time, so it's...

    MSFs, Peachykeen and Illicit

    This thread may get booted or moved, but I just wanted to share my love for Gold Spill MSF. I ordered it a few days ago and it just arrived last night. As I already had makeup on but was getting ready to get in the shower, I tested a little bit out on my arm. All I could think was, "That is...

    Goin' Out FOTD

    So my husband and I decided to get a babysitter on Saturday and have a real grown-up date (which consisted of dinner and a rated-R movie in the theatre - mucho exciting indeed!). I decided to take the opportunity to get pretty and play with fake eyelashes for the first time ever. As you can...

    My "I-Actually-Wore-My-Hair-Down" FOTD

    Okay, girls. It's very rare I do anything with my hair, so I figured I'd better post something today. That way there's proof I actually did it! Anywho, products as follows: Face: SF Concealer in NC15 SFP in C3 SF Blush in Style (nothing dewy or shiny today) Lips: MAC liner in Spice BE...

    My "everyday" FOTD

    Well...took this this morning when I got into work (see that nifty keyboard in the background...that's some high-quality scene-setting, lemme tell ya). This is pretty much how I look Monday-Friday, with the exception of lip color, which changes daily. I must apologize for the quality, as I...

    I want this truly TIMELESS look!!!!

    Okay, I've already got fairly light skin (I'm a C3 in the summer/fall and a C2 the rest of the year. The thing is, I tend to use blush...which isn't right for this...it's more of a lower-face countour. What would I use for that? And for those perfect lips? And the eyes? Basically, a step-by-step...

    Me, Myself, and MAC

    Hello ladies and gents and everything in between. I'm a newbie to the forum, so go easy on me for the first couple of weeks or so. I guess I should introduce myself...I'm a 26 y/o female in Arizona...started using MAC at 20 and swore by it for about 5 years. I did makeup for my husband's...
