i can't buy drug store foundation. it's never the right shade and the amount of money you spend with trial and error end up being the same as department store foundation. teint idole ultra by lancome W4 is amazing! my skin literally looks flawless when i use it, and that's before any conceler or powder.
i'm a bit of an eyeshadow addict
urban decay, mac pigments, mac paints, l'oreal HIP it's alllllll so much fun to play with. actually, i have an impulse to buy any super pigmented eyeshadow. this eyeshadow addiction is pretty recent... a while ago, i couldn't blend colors to save my life and then i was introduced to the wonderful world of youtube tutorials
and i agree with whoever said that the brown smokey eye is way easier to pull of than the black.. but the black, when done right and for the right occasion, can't be beat.
oh, and i swear by urban decay primer potion. it ain't gonna stay if there's no primer.
