Yay or Nay - The Makeup Recommendation Thread

The title is self-explanatory, I think.
Ask for opinions on your next makeup purchases that will help you to decide whether to buy them or not.

Start posting, girls (and boys)!
 
Lancôme Fatale Mascara

I need a new mascara and this one would be perfect since my lashes are short and thin. The thing is, I've heard mixed reviews about it. The brush seems to be one of the main 'problems'. Opinions, please?
 
Anything from covergirl foundation-wise is evil!!!!!!!!!

Oh, and the maybelline lash stylist (I think it is called that) is good too, mascara-wise that is.
 
ok! this a general thread for recommendations . . .
*post here if you want recs for certain colours/mascaras etc. . . anythn & everythn
the more contributions the better!

anyway, i'm going to get the ball rolling!

MAC Fluidline would be my suggestion.

How about some good colored mascaras? Anyone know of any good ones?

my friend has been telling me SO MUCH about this mascara..
here's the description :

The first color gloss for extra-shiny lashes, illuminated with extraordinary color reflections.

Personalized result:
- apply to mascara-free lashes for a full length magic highlighted effect: with the light, lashes reveal their glossy transparent color on the lash tips.
- or on the tops of the lashes, after your mascara, for a jewel-like result: lashes subtly adorn themselves with colored micro pearls.



hope that could help ! :flower:

See that's the thing I don't understand. How do u define a good eyeliner?
I assume that it's the right colour, doesn't smudge or fade easily
with an easy tip to apply it with.
There are tons of eyeliners that fits that description, so what makes
for example, Guerlain so special? Just wondering.
 
Well my mother uses it and it does't smudge for a long time as long as you apply it correctly. Drawing a good line and not using too much is a mmust. A bit is all that is required as just a bit is dark already. But its not gothic dark it's normal dark. I don't exactly know what makes guerlain "special" but all i can say is it doesn't look like those caked on eyeliners , it looks quite smooth..and once you apply it it kind of stays on it doesn't drip down with sweat , it lasts as long as you don't rub your eyes too much.
 
For any mineral makeup wearers, I recommend Everyday Minerals. I just started using it and love it 100% more than Bare Minerals...and I love Bare Minerals!
 
for me a good liquid eyeliner is one that is easy to use
it's hard to put a finger on why with some eyeliners it's so damn hard to draw a straight line & so easy with others =]

*another rec. for mineral makeup is lily lolo
 
I want a sheer green nail polish similar to Chanel Ombre D'eau in Ocean. :glare:

I think the same about most products. :wink: :flower:

Imo the best things are the ones that work for you, most of the times it´s not about the brand or anything but the appliction itself and how you work the products and the way you make them work for you.

Of course there are bad products, like eyeshadows that have no pigment or badly coloured powders and foundations (pinkish foundations for example), and more often you find those in cheaper brands, but the best is to test everything that way, you can have a notion when it´s better to spend more or less money. B)

Some cheap products that work:

Maybelline Volume´Express
Loreal eyeshadows and blushes, eye khols, lipglosses
Revlon cream shadows


Some expensive products that work:

Mac and Makeupforever concealers, foundations and pigments
Guerlain Bronzers

Can anyone reccomend a good (i.e. stays on well, easy to apply) blusher, for a very natural look? Thank you :flower:

I love Stila cream blushes and Benefit's Benetint for a natural flush. I also love Nars Orgasm blush which seems to look good on most people. Bare Minerals and Everyday Minerals have pretty shades too, if you like mineral makeup.
 
Mmmm this probably doesn't fit in this thread but it is a good tip.
If you are blonde, do not wear black eyeliner/mascara as it looks terribly trashy but wear brown eyeliner/mascara for a more natural look.
