whenever i where makeup, it seems to dissapear throughout the day. anybody have some good suggestions for long lasting makup, eyeliner eyeshadow, anything u think is worth a good amout of time thx! Lisa
foundation: aquasmooth by covergirl... it comes in a little blue compact with a sponge to apply with.. its really nice, it starts out as a cream but when you put it in on face it sets as a powder... so it stays on really well, and its like you have two products in one! eyeliner: i dont really buy expensive or really nice eyeliner, i usually buy the cheapest because i kinda like the smuged look, so its like i kinda want it to come off/disappear. eyeshadow: the thing that works the best for me is eye shadows that start out as a cream, and then kinda "dry" into a powder, so it really stays on your lids. i dont know what would work best for you, some people don't like it, just give it a try. i think the one i have is Bon-Bons, and i got it at the $.88 aisle at the store... i hope this helped at least a little bit! but, for the record, you look really pretty even with out makeup, i'm sure!
For eyeshadow, try Physician's Formula, it comes in a quad and it is amazing. You can use it wet or dry, and it doesn't crease or come off. As far as foundation I like Loreal Cashmere Perfect, and mine stays on all day. But if you have dry skin like I do, you will have to really use a good moisturizer before you use it cause it is a matte make up. But it is also like a 2 in 1 so you don't need to put a powder over it. And for mascara, I like Almay One Coat and Loreal Double Extend. I don't use eyeliner so I have no idea.
sorry, this is really off topic, but Elle.. are you coming to iceland? when? i don't know shit about make up anyway, i only use Kanebo powder.. so i'm not much of a help lol
well as of now im not actually GOING to iceland..lol. its a dream of mine to visit iceland...i love icelandic language and culture and i would love to spend some prolonged time there...so the "on my way to iceland" thing in my profile is sort of like wishful thinking
yeah, green i like the idea of not wearing any, but when i want to feel nice i like to wear it. I only wear makeup for myslef not for anybody else. I like it. so any more?
I don't like to wear make up most of the time either, but I hate it when a guy expects a girl to never wear make up. My ex boyfriend, I think, had the greatest theory ever... "Girls, don't NEED makeup, in MY eyes, but if it makes them feel pretty, then so be it... If it makes her feel good about the way she looks, then she looks that much more attractive to me. Confidence is far more beautiful than lack of makeup, or loads of makeup." He was awesome...
I use Covergirl's long lasting lipstick thingy. They stay on all day as long as you don't eat anything greasy. They are those things that come in a box with two things, one is a liquid lipstick and the other is a lipgloss to go over it.
Maybelline liquid eyeliners stays on all day but its incredibly difficult to apply and has a tendacny to smudge. Im definitly gonna go for the L'Oreal cashmere perfect next time I buy make up, tho.
For lipstick, try MAC. You can put it on in the morning, have lunch and dinner, and wake up the next morning and it'll still be on.
for eyeliner i use a combination of liquid (top lid) and kohl for the bottom. it's basically powdered charcoal that you can buy in middle eastern stores. get the glycerine free stuff. it doesn't fucking budge. but i tend to over do it on the eye makeup, so ya know...
try to get somethign that is made for the oil content of your skin. the foundation you use pretty much determines if your makeup stays on. i prefer the powder based foundations. it helps the rest of my make up to stay put.
Jane has good eyeshadows, Prestige has good liners, Maybelline has good mascaras, Revlon makes a really good long-wearing foundation (colorstay) and....that's it I guess. It's all about experimentation. Find a drugstore that has easy returns and you're set.
i think it just depends on how much you want to spend. the best foundation I ever had was from prescriptives, they make the foundation to fit your skin at the counter. it was fantastic, perfect match, lasted forever, but it was outrageously expensive, like 50 dollars or something, so i rarely get that. but they keep your mixture on hold for forever, so whenever you want it they can look it up and make it. i use maybelline wonder finish, goes on as a liquid and dries as a powder and it does a pretty good job of staying. benefit also has good staying power and sephora brand make-up which can be pretty inexpensive is good too. but, benefit makes something called she-laq which is basically make-up guard or something http://www.benefitcosmetics.com/benefit/product.asp?pd=619&ct=for+lips&pg=1 and it works really well for eye makeup but can dry your lips out if you use it a lot. good luck!
