    Looking for a nightime eye cream

    I've been using cliniques anti gravity eye cream at night, but keep wanting to find something better for anti aging. But everytime I try something new I find it doesn't moisturize enough. I just bought one by ROC & in the morning the skin around my eyes felt sooooo dry. I don't want to pay a...

    FOTD, attempt to copy a pic

    I got brave & attempted to copy a pic in a book I have: and here is how it came out............. I certainly didn't nail it, but for my very first try ever to duplicate a look I didn't think I did too bad. My DH came home & when he saw the pic he was VERY impressed, moreso than I was. So...

    Blue with amber lights?

    So I bought amber lights on my very first trip to MAC, I thought it was so pretty, but I've been having trouble finding what to do with it. It's just too dark on my lid. Today I tried using it as the crease color & it looks ok, but what I think will look really good is to pair it with a blue...

    New brow color!!

    I've been using Clinique's brow shaper for years now, as my brows are very light & very thin (won't grow back after being plucked--I am attempting to get them back with rogaine right now). I have been very tempted to try using a MAC shadow on my brow but wasn't sure which one to use. This...

    Eyebrow regrowth??

    Ok, I am desperate, I want my eyebrows back!! I used to pluck & they stopped growing back & they also got really light in color. I went to Target & bought the generic Target brand of men's rogaine (the women's is a 3% solution & the men's is a 5% solution, yet they charge way more money for the...

    Do I really need pigments?? Convince me.....

    I am thrilled to death with my MAC e/s & there's still so many more I want. I do know that pigments last FOREVER, but I keep wondering if I should even get any, especially since they are more money than the e/s. So what are the benefits of pigment over e/s?

    FOTD for wedding makeup

    I'm going to a wedding tomorrow, my dress is black with some pink trim. I've been trying to figure out what to do with my e/s for the occasion. I think I am sold on this look: I started with bare canvas paint, used clinique's brow kit in taupe, put print in the crease & outer 1/3 of the lid...

    Shadow under lower lashes question

    I see this look a lot, even in the FOTDs here. This may be a stupid question, but I cannot figure out how to achieve this. I've tried various brushes that I have, but I just can't get the shadow to adhere well or stay under the lower lashes. Now I'm not talking about lining with shadow, that...

    Ok, I started experimenting with my greens, I started with bare canvas pain, I used velvet moss on the outer half of the lids, overgrown on the inner half of the lids, shroom just under the brow & juxt in between the brow & lid. Then I lined with humid. I am loving this look............. I...

    lip gloss question.........

    I love to use sheer color lipglosses, but I've always bought cheapie ones at Target, I'm currently using & loving one by Rimmel. I'm just wondering, is there really any difference between a cheapie gloss from Target & a more expensive one from MAC or another line like that? If there is a...

    What eye makeup remover do you use?

    I've tried a lot of eye makeup removers in the past & have found I really like the target brand one (similar to loreal, but I prefer it over the loreal one). But since I started wearing MAC e/s I find my eye area gets red & irritated when I use the remover. Has anyone else experienced anything...

    My second FOTD

    Ok, here's what I did this morning & it turned out better than I expected, pretty good for my first try at this I think.............for some reason (the lighting or the camera) you can't see all of the chrome yellow, especially on my right eye, but I put chrome yellow on the inner half of the...

    My very first FOTD

    I am new to MAC, only been using about a week & a half, but I've never been good at figuring out how to work with colors with e/s. I've always stuck with browns/neutrals & I am trying desperately to get away from that. So here's one from a couple of days ago (my first time taking a pic)...

    How do you use beauty marked e/s?

    I am in love with this color & have been since I first walked up to the mac counter a little over a week ago. I want to get this color badly, but am not sure what to do with it. Ilike the way it looks with sketch, but what can I really do with it? Does anyone else love this color?
