I am starting a beauty blog and I really want it to have a nice edge. I decided it would be nice if the blog had a “team” of beauty product lovers.

Essentially, I’m looking for males and females age 22 & up who […]

Whenever I travel somewhere and it’s really warm, this same thing happens to me. I started to dust some translucent setting powder on top. It worked for me.

Is your foundation too sheer? Perhaps trying a foundation with medium to full coverage may help. Also, a yellow base corrector can help cover up the redness you’re wanting to tone down/cover.

As far as […]

I’d definitely try either a nude color or some sort of soft pink or apricot color. I like to use Ravishing by MAC. It looks great on all skin colors.

I tend to use matte colors for the crease of my eyes. To me, the shimmer behaves almost like a highlight, so by placing the shimmer on the lid, your pulling that “forward” and the matte nude in the crease pulls […]

I don’t have a lot of lashes. The fat brushes tend to mark up my lids. Also, I haven’t had any luck with the applicators that are wide on the ends and thin in the middle. I love mascara, but I hatehow  I have to […]

Of the brushes that I have, I find the best value in my brushes from Japonesque. You can find them at Ulta, Beauty First (I am from Michigan so I’m not sure if you have those stores near you) or online.

Aside […]

I have combinations of brushes. I have mac, mug, e.l.f., sonya keshick (sp), hakuhodo, sephora, robert jones and some I got  when I was in Europe. It’s really up to you and what feels right. Specifically, my […]

I’m super short. If its any conciliation, I would love to be tall.

Firstly, welcome to the world of makeup!
Secondly, I’m a little confused on what you’re looking for help with. Is it that you want to use face paints and makeup together? or just transition totally?
Also, I saw […]

I agree with @shellygrrl. Translucent powder has many magical properties

I’m a squovaler myself. Although the square look does look clean, I feel like its almost too clean leading people to believe my nails are fake, but that’s just me.

I have shoulder length hair as well and my hair is very course and straight. These are somethings I do for loose curls:

hair has to be bone dry to use a curling iron
I start my iron half way on the section […]

Out of curiosity, do you moisturize right before you prime? Sometimes, if I don’t allow the moisturizer sit a little bit, my face does the same thing.

Also, if I’m not moisturized enough, the same thing happens.

I am in Michigan! I went to two CVS’s and a Rite Aid and no luck. Either the thing was empty or they didn’t have NYC. It seemed like they just double the Wet & Wild selection.

@shellygrrl & @amandamariemakeup:

I had to do a gig today, I couldn’t find either of what you guys suggested, however, they are on my future purchase list. I ended up buying the Coty translucent setting powder. […]
