Essence of Beauty Crease Brush: I don’t have a Mac 219, so I can’t compare. However, I have a hodge-podge of brushes, MAC, sephora, Bobbi Brown, etc… These two little brushes are really really fantastic, best 8 bucks I’ve ever spent!

Have you ever tried lipstick? the creamy ‘old fashioned’ type in a tube. Not the semi perms or color lasts. You can dap a few dots on you cheak and blend with a semi moist (almost dry) sponge or you clean finger tips.

Have you tried mineral powder foundations? They are light weight and you can custom blend the color at home to suit you. Also, NEVER BE AFRAID TO EXPERIMENT mix colors at home. I have asian skin with yellow, olive, and pink undertones and have been mixing my own color at home for years. It takes a few minutes at first but once you figure out what you like it will become second nature or you can pre mix and hve a supply always on hand.

SOUNDS CRAZY BUT….I have been using these for years!
2 choices
1. Cheap but awesome – MONOSTAT CHAFING RELIEF POWDER-GEL – Can be found at your local wally mart or drug store in the ladies feminie isle IN A BLUE BOX with the words SOOTHING CARE vertically on the left. Don’t get this confused with the “down there cream”. THIS IS A CLEAR GEL and safe to use on you face!
Costs about $5 – $6 for a tube holds 1.5 oz

2. Cost a little more but works really well and has the added benefit of a daily moisturizer. MARY KAY HYDRATING GEL. Works as a moisturizer and primer gel. (Use sparingly) You can find it online or with a local Mary Kay lady. (it is easier to just order it online from them)
Costs about $30.00 for a purple jar that holds 1.8 oz. will last with normal use about 4 months.

I can’t start to tell you how much you site means to me… i was a makeup artist for years (started at 13 in my moms salon, then went to commercial work when i was 18) but lost my passion after some health issues came up (i was diagnosed with cancer in my 20′s) I found your site by chance and it literally renewed my passion!!

If it is not any trouble, could you please post more information on easy to find drug store finds? When i was doing makeup professionally i used every brand on the market and since i stopped doing makeup as a living I have only really used Sheer Cover (love it), Physicians formula and Mary Kay (surprisingly good) with a few tries here and there.

Anywho, long but grateful story later i should let you get back. THANK YOU!

PS: do you have a facebook page?!
