    A red brown shadow that I can use on my brows?

    I've always used espresso e/s to fill in my brows, but I dyed my hair cherry brown. Kinda like this. I want a more red-brown shadow. Any suggestions. Nothing too dark or glittery. TIA

    Is my Beauty Marked pro-pan a fake? It looks different *pics*

    Hi, I received this pro pan in a MUA swap. The swapper hasn't got much feedback & it wasn't stated how old the shadow was. As soon as I opened it, I thought it looked odd..It looks different to my genuine shadows as you can see from pictures of the sticker on the bottom. The writing isn't in a...

    What is wrong with my lipglass? :(

    I received a Russian Red lipglass in a swap. Upon opening the package, I realised it was kinda old, the writing had rubbed off the tube & half the name on the bottom sticker was gone.

    Foundation shade help :)

    I love Studio Fix Powder, but find NC15 a tad too light, not by much, mind. I'm not sure what shade would come next in line..The C2 & N3's are confusing me. Do I now try NW15? Also, if it helps NC15 Fix Fluid is a tad bit dark. Its just about right in summer. TIA

    Well Dressed vs Pink Swoon

    Hi, I want to buy a pink blush & am undecided about whether to go for Well Dressed or Pink Swoon. These both caught my eye, but looking at most swatches I can't see much difference. I'd want it to be quite pigmented. I'm an NC15 with warm undertones. Can you recommend one above the other? or...
