Free to a good home

Hi all~ I'm cleaning up my makeup stash and I have a few items that either don't look good on me or I have similar colors. I'd like to send all of these to the same person, so the first person to respond will get these goodies: Carnal Blush- full size (unused) Stardust Blush- sample size Afterglow B...

Eyeshadow finish

What eyeshadow finish is most satin-y? In the "finish filter" when looking through the eyeshadows, it isn't an option, but I'm thinking that suede and pearl are the mostly likely candidates.

Re: Reviving cream eyeliner palette

Not the OP, but I've had good success with both the angled liner brush and the liner end of the ultimate shadow brush , especially the latter because it's very short and stiff. Thanks for the suggestions! I think I might have both of those at home. Do those help keep the line precise, but colorful?...

Do you have a particular brush you recommend/use?

Reviving cream eyeliner palette

I've had the cream eyeliner palette for a long time (ever since it was first introduced) and while I love the colors, they don't translate well to my eye. The color payoff just isn't there. Is there a way to revive this palette so that the colors pop and show up? Should I use water and use them wet?...

Re: Needing recommendations for "kicked up" one color washes

I have really been liking Glory as a one color wash. It's still fairly neutral, but if you put it over a sticky base the colored glimmers really pop out, especially the peachy ones (to me they almost look red). It's so beautiful! Do you use the Stick 'Em eye primer or something else? sorry allyb, i...

Needing recommendations for "kicked up" one color washes

So, this morning in an effort to keep my 3 yo son from whining about watching tv while I was getting ready for work, I asked him to help me pick out my eyeshadow, lip and blush colors (yes, I realize this had the potential to backfire big time :D ). Anyway, for my eyes, he picked out the DC'd Greed ...

Re: Thoughts on Cream Blush?

I have Tickle and Entice. I usually just dab the blush stick on a stippling brush and apply that way. I found that fingers tended to mute the color. I've not tried them on my lips.
