if you use Z palettes, you can fit any size shadow, including depotted ones… could be a good option for you if you’re not sure what you’ll be purchasing in the future!

Maybe Bada Bing, and Corrupt is a great black you can use as liner or for the outer V… Gold Digger might look nice too, I don’t personally have it and my skin tone is much lighter than yours… I think Burlesque […]

Love Missha Perfect Cover, they have 3 shade choices and it provides good coverage and doesn’t make me super greasy (I do set it with powder)… Most of the time I just use it on its own but if my skin is feeling […]

Petja has a tutorial on here for a wearable purple smokey eye, which isn’t really in-your-face purple… I tried it the other day and absolutely loved it, and I generally look better in warmer colours…. Mix your […]

Definitely gel liner… Maybe line Masterdrama stays put quite well work me, even with my watery eyes

That kit is pretty amazing… Could never afford it though… I’m after the Tarte Carried Away holiday kit and the Sephora In the Glow set, but I wish I could get them in the US cuz they jack up the prices so much […]

Depends on what you’re using it for, e.g. all-over warmth or contouring…. Also whether you want matte or shimmer, and how deep your skin tone is… I am about NC20 and my go-to bronzes are Too Faced Chocolate […]

NYX- I use the Megashine glosses all the time, but I don’t reach for their shadows as much now that I have my MUG shadows

Too Faced- love Chocolate Soleil bronzer! Don’t have much else from them but I used to […]

Haha I know the dilemma! My plan was to fill one large Z palette with MUG shadows (which I almost have, need four more for the big one), then decided to make a small neutral palette, then another small neutral […]

I recently saw a video by Wayne Goss (search “gossmakeupartist how to apply eyeliner like a pro) that demonstrates how to use a push liner brush… This technique is good for hooded eyes, because it allows you to […]

Did you try eBay? I use a Caboodles one that I got at Walmart, they have quite a variety from that brand on eBay, and the prices aren’t bad… Nt sure how much shipping would cost for you (I’m in Canada) but it […]

I hear ya… Seems spammy

I think some of these brands seems “unknown” to us in North America because they’re based out of the UK, Europe, Asia, etc. Others are indie brands, often only available online. That’s why I like hearing feedback […]

I majored in Sociocultural Anthropology, which means I know how to write a lot of essays and have no discernible job skills besides the ones I’ve gained through other jobs! I am applying for administrative jobs at […]

I have been having the exact same problem, though it’s pretty much isolated to my T-zone… So frustrating! I know people wouldn’t notice unless they were right up in my face, but I notice and I hate it (especially […]
