But it's really hard to reach/buff places like between the eyes or on the nose etc. So this brings me to wonder if there's an alternative to it. Is there any other brush that I can use for this?

    Help with Studio Touch-up Stick concealer!!!

    I have redness around my nose and some on the cheeks. The MA suggested Studio Touch Up Stick. She says it'll be easier to blend and good for portability. Plus I don't need a whole lot of coverage anyways. She did mention that Studio Fix Concealer has a better coverage. So I gave the Touch Up...

    Lipstick + Lip Liner Combo

    I can't seem to find any threads like this, so I thought I'll start one. Thought it'll be great if we can get together and list out which lip stick would go great with which lip liner (and vice versa). As I'm quite new with lip colors, I thought this would be helpful for other girls as well...
