<p>I don't do a full face of make-up every day anymore. I always wear a tube formula mascara (I like the one in the red and white container by L'Oreal. It stays put while I sweat in the gym, but isn't hard to get off like a waterproof mascara.) If I'm just running errands and stuff, I just wear a tinted moisturizer, a little of bit of concealer under my eyes and over any red spots, some blush and a red lip in addition to the mascara.

If I'm just running errands and stuff, I just wear a tinted moisturizer, a little of bit of concealer under my eyes and over any red spots, some blush and a red lip in addition to the mascara. I'm quite the collector of Revlon's red lipsticks. I just like the idea that this color has actually been around since the era's I'm inspired by. After reading through this thread though, I might have to get a MAC Russian Red to to try though!</p>
<p>If I am doing the full Betty, I'll use a primer and actual foundation (I actually really like Revlon's photoready primer better than Smashbox one I used to use, but I'm still on the hunt for a foundation I love.) I'll contour with bronzer (Benefit Hoola), and do eyeshadow and liner (Urban Decay fan here as well). I like using an eyeshadow primer as well.

I'm a total UD Junkie! If I had all the money in the world, it would be split 50/50 on pinup clothing and UD makeup.<br />

The next thing I have to say about skin care should be prefaced with this…<br />

I'll probably make it on someone's hit list for saying this, but I actually use oil on my face.<br />

Hear me out first. I use a mixture of 100% pure Jojoba oil, 100% pure Grapeseed oil, 100% pure Almond oil, Extra Virgin Olive Oil, and 100% PURE Essential Lavender oil. I apply it with a folded up paper towel…

Hear me out first. I use a mixture of 100% pure Jojoba oil, 100% pure Grapeseed oil, 100% pure Almond oil, Extra Virgin Olive Oil, and 100% PURE Essential Lavender oil. I apply it with a folded up paper towel by dabbing it on my skin. I have skin that gets so irritated by the littlest things, that I have to stick to one specific brand of makeup because I know their products won't irritate my skin. Still, living in Southern California, when there's an inversion layer in the air (heavy smog), my skin goes crazy. I already have very clear skin (gotta love my genes), but I have to be extremely careful that I don't irritate my skin with something that I've never used before. That's why I love Sephora. They will give you samples to try, and I am eternally grateful for that. I don't have to worry about buying a product only to have to waste time, money, and gas just to return it because it caused my skin to get super dry. Still, when I do try a new product that I got a sample of from Sephora and it dries my skin out, I just use my oil mixture and a paper towel to get rid of it. Also works on the corners of your mouth and nose when the seasons and weather changes and causes you skin to dry out.

<p>Urban Decay has a new lipstick line that is the BOMB. They specifically have a lipstick color called F-Bomb that I think is even more intense than Russian Red. I also like Chanel's Gabrielle - a very pretty true red and a gorgeous formulation. I wear predominantly MAC and Urban Decay. I find that Urban Decay has more intense pigments if you want a very dramatic look. I do also love Benefit's brow box and Urban Decay's eye primer - it will really set your eye makeup for all day!</p>

<p>It is also important to make sure you keep your makeup clean, don't share it if possible (although you can search to find information about how to share makeup successfully), and throw things out when they've reached the end of their lifetime, especially liquid liners & mascara.

<p>This thread is a goldmine of information. While I started wearing makeup when I was quite young and am good at applying it, I'm the sort who finds one thing and sticks with it until it's discontinued.

This is how I feel about makeup; walk into a quality store (Sephora or MAC) and browse around quietly by yourself. Make note of things and colours that get you excited. Then, ask a MUA for recommendation sin affordable products for specific uses- primer, powder, eyebrow filling etc.<br />
most of the time you'll get lots of help in budget friendly ways if you ask the right questions.<br />

At the very least remember, makeup has no guidelines or limits. Your face is a canvas for art!<br />

I'm a little late on this, but I use Urban Decay makeup. They have such a broad range of colors and products, that there is always something for every makeup junkie. Urban Decay just reformulated their eyeshadows within the last year, and they have made it so that you can pop their individual eyeshadows out of their packaging and stick them into an eyeshadow pan to create your own customized palette. I have several of their eyeshadows and I am never disappointed with the way my makeup turns…

I have several of their eyeshadows and I am never disappointed with the way my makeup turns out. I also love their 24/7 Glide-On Eyeliner Pencils. These were also just revamped, but this occurred within the last two or three months. Previously they had about 10 or 15 different colors of eyeliners in this particular product. After they revamped them, they now have 40 different shades, so again there is something for every makeup junkie. The Eyeshadow Priming Potion is absolutely amazing, and I use it everyday even when I don't do my entire face. Their primer comes in four colors: Original (dries invisible), Sin (pink champagne shimmer), Eden (nude matte), and Greed (gold shimmer). There are very few products that I use on my face that aren't Urban Decay products simply because their products don't irritate my skin like most other companies products.
