Kashuk are good as are ELF Studio (black handles).  Have many of both of those but my current fave is Real Techniques (starter for eyes) adding the small shading and the fine eyeliner.  What she calls the ‘brow’ […]

vaseline mixed with sugar – you decide the consistency.  Snag an extra condiment cup and lid when at a fast food place (some still use them) and mix it up in the cup.

Shape/size etc: Also google this for video demo)

Begin: Line from base of nose up thru inner corner

High point: outer edge of iris

End point: base of nose thru outer corner

for shaping: scissors […]

covergirl outlast, maybelline lipstain, revlon colorstay — anything that is two-step will only budge with oil or silicone.

I wash and condition  every 3-4 days (hot & humid here in the summer so sometimes every other day)- using Suave Shea and Almond which is a dupe of Aveda Dry Remedy.
 
Keep as much heat off of your hair as possible […]

Mehron , Kryolon, Ben Nye – all are ‘stage’ makeup lines.  Also Dermablend – designed for skin issues including port wine spots (used by a friend).

I’m using Rimmel’s – the WHITE one not the peachy one.

Options:
(1) a dermatologist – they can safely lighten the areas with a peel, laser etc
(2) At home products with glycolic acid – Olay Regenerist Night Serum is one. Much lower concentration that with a derm so […]

LOTS of loose translucent powder — load it on, – really over do it; after the shadow is applied then you take a brush and knock off the excess.

I use either a dry shampoo (can be used in spots) or the old fashion way (baby powder in a haircolor applicator bottle applied at the roots either in spots or all over and massaged into scap/roots) and then brush it out

As someone who had hair (blunt cut!) past my knees in the 70′s and who has a hard time getting it to my shoulder blades now – the big difference is HEAT and the every day styling. In the 70′s it got washed once a […]

I’m planning on giving Garnier’s BB cream a try for the summer. Derms and MUA have praised it.
Failing being satisfied with that — I’ll add moisturizer t my foundation to thin it.

Can’t rave enough about Inglot’s Freedom System. YOU choose your colors and design your own palette. HUGE color selection and 4-5 finishes and they are really reasonably priced and great quality. Google for […]

Yes, I’ve had it come off on the curler – especially pencil liners or stuff I haven’t let dry and set completely before curling. I just touch it up. Once curled, it is harder for me to get the applicator to the […]

A pencil (choose your diameter) and some bobbypins or clips…
wrap around the pencil vertically … if you want even more ‘spiral’ twist the hair before wrapping. Mist with water and let dry.
Take out the clips – […]

I have berry heavenly and mauve dream – I think our coloring is similar (Mac NW30 for me).
If you can shop at an Ulta store – they will accept returns with a receipt.

ULTA carries NYX.

Agree with Shelly’s recs…
NO TITANIAM DIOXIDE. Did I ever learn my lesson on that!!!!! Everything I was applying had SPF of 15 with the titaniam dioxide. Talk about white color.
Colorstay Oily formula is an SPF […]

I AM a fan of stains – but I always top with a gloss (usually a plumping one). Maybelline’s new formula is great and shade selection is wide.
