    On Creme d' Nude

    I was gifted with a tube of Creme d' Nude a couple of months back and I haven't used it since trying it on to see how it would look like on me. I'm not a fan of concealer lips and that's exactly how it looks on me. I just wonder if there are any lipsticks you guys mix with this to make it more...

    Coral Crepe lipstick dupe?

    Hi girls, I'm just wondering whether any of you might have an idea of a lipstick equivalent for Coral Crepe paintpot. I know that it's multipurpose but I am scared that I will run out (especially since I'm thinking of using it as a blush as well). I'm looking for something that's hopefully...

    How do you wear bright eyeshadow?

    Hi! I'm sorry if this is in the wrong thread... please feel free to correct me if this shouldn't be here. I'm an NC40 Southeast Asian girl with a love of neutral eyeshadows and brighter lips and/or cheeks. I've never worn bright eyeshadows in the past but have tried to ease myself into it by...

    New releases :)

    Here are the collections that are out now: Graphic Garden collection Euristocrats Love That Look I also asked if they will come out with Style Black and Make Up Art Cosmetics because they seem more interesting than these three, and the MUA said yes. I can't wait for that! I'm especially...

    Smoky-ish purple EOTN :)

    My first try ever at using bright shadows. Pardon the sparse patches on my brows, it was but an experiment at blending. I believe I still can't pull of brightly colored shadows. Anyway... constructive criticism welcome! Especially on the blending/application What I used: Blacktrack Fluidline...

    My humble but beloved collection :)

    I've been collecting MAC for a little less than a year already so my collection might seem small (about the equivalent of one haul for some :P) but I love all of these products just the same Eyeshadows from the top row, left to right: Paradisco, Ricepaper, Flip, Cranberry, empty Sable, Amber...

    Price increase in Manila :(

    My favorite MUA just told me they'll be increasing the prices of MAC by about 10% starting on July 1st. I don't know if this is WORLDWIDE but it can only mean one thing for me: TIME TO HOARD! Just as I'm low on cash haha. I just wish they release Style Warrior before that! Damn!

    Which lipglass should I buy?

    I am NC40, and I'm looking for a nice, natural looking lipglass. Viva Glam V, while extremely lovable, runs a bit too nude on me. Here are my choices: Nymphette Prrr Lust All of them seem nice but I'm scared that they'll all make me look too washed out. Plus the glitter/shimmer in Nymphette and...

    Less frosty recommendation please :)

    Hi! Can anyone give a good recommendation for a lipstick that looks similar to What A Do! from BBR without the frost finish? I adore the color but I feel that the frost might be too fancy for daily wear, especially since I have full lips and it makes the color much more "in your face" than it...

    MAC Dupe for NARS Outlaw?

    Hi, so that's simply what I am looking for: any blush from MAC that is similar to NARS's Outlaw blush. And any other wine/berry blush from MAC from the perm line. I don't want to get the NARS blush as much as possible because I'm thinking more of what will happen to the case when I'm done with...

    Help in achieving this particular neutral look :)

    I was browsing through makeupandbeautyblog.com when I stumbled across this picture from the owner (I do hope that this is okay, if not, then I can take down the picture): Any ideas on possible products for eyes, cheeks, and lips? I think it's really pretty and the fact that the girl is Asian...

    My "First MAC Eyeshadows Ever (and then some)" Haul

    I got Paradisco, Flip, and Bronze e/s (since I have a couple of neutrals here already that I'm waiting to use up before buying more from MAC), just to ease my way in slowly into using brighter eyeshadows. I also included Teddy eye kohl from BBR and Popster TLC from HK.

    Dupe for Cranberry?

    Hi, I'm looking for a dupe of MAC's Cranberry eyeshadow. It's not available here anymore (neither is Woodwinked! ) I think it's such a pretty color, but the makeup artists at my MAC counter don't know when it will arrive or if it ever will (one even suggested that it's an LE color and that it...

    Makeup to match red dress?

    Hello there goddesses of Specktra, I have a question. My friend and I are going to a graduation ceremony (we both teach) and the event is quite dressy but not too formal... a bit conservative, even. She and I decided not to go to a salon and do our makeup instead. She asked me to do her eye...

    What will you choose: makeup or responsibility?

    Okay that's probably not the best title for the post. Anyway, I've been thinking. I'm pretty new when it comes to makeup and I love every minute of using it. However, I keep thinking that a lot of my cash goes into it, while so many people can't even afford to buy food. I'm not talking about...
