[OT] Makeup
wrote in message
... Anybody out there know of any good websites that explain makeup with tips etc.? I tried Googling, but found very little for some reason. I'm looking for something that both has good step-by-step instructions and good photos as well. Here are some sites that seem to have better information than the others I found. http://www.wildaboutmakeup.com/ http://styles101.homestead.com/application.html This one has some good pictures of eye shadows. http://www.womenfitness.net/beauty/makeup/ Not quite as nice a site. http://www.faceoptions.com/experttips_landing.shtml |

[OT] Makeup

Watch your local department stores to see when one might have a make-up specialist doing "make-overs" - or make an appointment with one of the salesgirls if there won't be a specialist there for a while. They can show you how to apply make-up best suited to your face and features. But *DON'T* get talked into buying any of the high priced items - there have been many studies done that found that high priced department store make-up is no better than the drug store variety, but they cost about 10 times as much. I believe you (and the studies) but Clinique is the only moisturizer that doesn't make me break out. I love their soap too. But I only buy those when they have the semi-annual give away sales. My daughter always lets me know when she sees the sale in the paper. Jo |

Oh, but... Online Makeovers (WAS: [OT] Makeup)
Sadly, my Christian Dior lipstick is now mashed into the carpet and smeared
in 2 year old handprints up the hall wall. Lucky He's so cute and I love him so much because I nearly wrung his neck that day. Yowie Small children and kittens are cute for a very good reason.

Ginger-lyn feeling old When I was a teenager my mum didn't really wear makeup and didn't teach me so I was never into it. Once I started working and had some money to play with it I started loving it. I wear makeup every day now and the best word there is play - while there are styles of clothes I would never wear with makeup I have endless choice! A couple of suggestions - if you aren't used to wearing it and might feel uncomfortable go for something very neutral. If you feel like your face is dirty wearing foundation try a tinted moisturiser. I have one from clinique that is gorgeous - its not cheap but not too expensive (about $40 AUD). It gives me coverage but doesn't feel as heavy as foundation. I've had compliments when I've worn it! Definitaly try one of the counters at a department store. The ones I've been too have never been too much in sales mode - I guess it can depend on the salesperson. Look for someone who is wearing makeup with the kind of look you would like and ask her what she is wearing. A friend that I studied with at uni worked part time at the Revlon counter in the department store in the city and her boss would often tell her she wasn't wearing enough makeup. But lots of customers would ask her what she used because she had a very natural look. Plus she's gorgeous and doesn't need much anyway! She models part time now. Kathryn |

M.A.C. is awesome, but spendy. http://www.maccosmetics.com/home.tmpl?ngextredir=1 They perfectly match your skin tone. I used to like Clinique but haven't used their products for years. Mary Kay cleansers are the best (their Timewise line). I was make-up queen in my 20's. Once I hit 35 I quit wearing any except on special occasions. -L. |
