Xarata's Swatches & EOTD

[Xarata]

if you're not concerned about the labels and don't want to waste the magnets, i would just glue them on with a decent adhesive (think epoxy or superglue)

I use these whenever i can find them on ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/100-Self-Adhesi ... 1e7502a803
Very rarely, I have to replace a magnet but only 1-2 magnets a year.

I keep seeing people ask how to use the cream sticks and cream foundations or that their tubes aren't lasting very long. Here is how I do my makeup everyday, setting the cream base with powder before doing the rest of my face:

*For reference, I am 27 and I eat very healthy so I do have nice skin. My skintone is a very light olive and will tan significantly in summer. My eyes change color ranging from a rare khaki greenish tan color, every shade of green or blue, all the way to dark slate grey usually depending on what I am wearing (which is why my eyes may be intensely green in one picture, brilliantly turquoise in another, and almost black in others). because my skin tone and eyes tend to lean olive, I usually complement the green with peach.

Thanks for that, Xarata, that was really cool!

I'm excited to try this now! What do you use to blend it all, Xarata?

[Xarata]

i just rub all the creams in with clean fingers, they blend really easily. I set it with powder and I blend that in with a synthetic kabuki brush.

Samantha, thanks a lot! What do you use under makeup?

[Xarata]

My skin can be super picky. Usually I use a toner and awesome sauce with a drop of unscented body oil for my dry winter skin. Sometimes I use the lavender moisturizer on my face. I don't use a primer though
