Hi! I don't normally have this problem but I just can't figure out what type/color shoes would work with this dress. I wore it with some slingback strappyish black shoes that are about the only ones I have that are comfortable but I don't like how they look with them. I'm thinking of going...

Hey girls! I was planning on going out a bit later, so I did my makeup (which actually consisted of more than just a neutral eye and gloss for the first time in a long while), and then it started storming like crazy. Complete with pouring rain, gushing winds, loud thunder, and cracks of...

This is from last weekend, went to the Hard Rock with some friends. I didn't take any closeups but you can kind of see the makeup in these pics. I did the same exact face to go out last night. It's my favorite look when I don't want to spend a lot of time on my makeup. I recently got my hair...

I use this site for design inspiration, and as I was browsing today, I thought that it could be really cool to use some of the color combos on this site to create eyeshadow color combos. Or am I crazy?

Hey girls! I had the beginning of an eye infection a few days ago, so it's been a few days since I've worn any eye makeup. I decided it was safe to wear today and decided on neutral makeup, but later added a bit of copper and blue. Of course, it looks boring and blah because I was too lazy to...

So I woke up this morning and one of my eyelids is pretty swollen and slightly pink in color. When I touch it or even blink there's a slight pain in my eyelid. Nothing wrong with my actual eye that I can tell. I googled it and a lot of possibilities come up, but most recommended going to the...

I wasn't sure if this went under Recs, but I need some help and it is makeup related, so I thought if anybody knew, one of you girls might! I've been searching for a not ridiculously expensive dressing table/vanity for the longest time. My room is fairly small so i'd prefer something small to...

Hey girlies! I rarely post here, mostly read others' posts...but.... Today I did a little home photoshoot with a friend of mine, and after some editing, decided to share them, cause I thought they came out interesting. I was the makeup artist and the photographer! The model was my friend...

I'm not sure what I'm doing for New Years yet, but I'll be with my boyfriend and I know I wanna look hot! lol. I'm actually still trying to decide between two different outfits: A sexy metallic silver fitted top (very similar to this one, except a silver halter top instead of gold tube top, and...

I really do hate it...but my skintone is so uneven and splotchy that it's a necessity. I am at a loss as to what type and tone of foundation would be best for my skin. I've tried so many foundations (drugstore and a couple higher end) and nothing seems to do it for me. I was using Clinique...

I have somewhat thin, flat hair, but I straighten it because it is naturally wavy and never looks right when I dry it naturally. I also have somewhat sideswept bangs, but i feel like they are boring and have a weird shape. I have been using Matrix Amplify Root Lifter, but don't see much of a...

It's so hard to take a decent picture of myself! I tried some purples and pinks... ....and the L'oreal HIP Sassy duo, with Cover Girl Aqua Paradise. and my goofy face..looked red and yucky, so here's a better pic!

I have combination skin that gets annoyingly oily in the t-zone, as well as large pores in the nose, cheek area. I normally do my moisturizer, foundation, and pressed powder routine, but I heard/read recently that powder clogs the pores, hence making them look bigger. Should I avoid powder in...

I've been lurking here at Specktra for the longest time...and thought I'd give this a try! I'm a makeup addict, and have been eyeing MAC for a while, but still haven't tried it. Hopefully that will change soon. These days I mostly use drugstore stuff (Milani) and Urban Decay. Constructive crits...
