probably..just let them dry then see.

if eyeshadow gets crumbled/broken up, you can reblend it using a little bit of rubbing alcohol.

I never tried that before. I usually just throw it away if that happens.

Question: For ladies who have tried both bare minerals and the new maybelline mineral powder, is there a difference? I've heard a lot of great things about the maybelline mineral, but curious how it compares to bare minerals.

From day to day, I just spray it with alcohol. To wash, I'd use anti-bacterial soap (and water of course, heh)

I seriously recommend Urban Decay make up for good quality strong colours, but they are expensive £9/11 for one eye shadow or pencil.

I never used Bare Minerals but my experience from Maybelline in a lot of their products has been really good.

Ya, generally I likem maybelline but if bare minerals is better then I guess I should stick with it. I went to walgreens today and was about to get it but when I asked the lady who worked there, she said that the loreal brand is really popular and she gets mixed stuff about the maybelline one. I bought the loreal and didn't like it too much, will likely return it.

I finally bought some stuff at Sephora. Let's hope it can work wonders on my eyes at graduation and my friend's wedding. Inshallah. Otherwise, it'll be a total waste of $50.


Edit: The Sephora stuff rocks. But I have to get a brush for the concealer - it's too thick for the one I tried it with. I also need to find a way to put on black eyeliner so that I don't look like combined with .

Liquid eye liner really isnt as difficult as people think it to be. Its all about practice, try, wash, and then repeat

Im not a fan of the pencil liner for my upper lids, liquid is the way to go

I agree 100%

What's a good, cheap, liquid liner to practice with before investing in something better?

I like almay, I think it's less than $7 except, for me at least, it was the best (since it's hypoallergenic and I wear contacts)

I don't like Almay. I'd rather spend the same amount of money and get something either Maybelline or Loreal. Loreal has this telescopic liquid liner that's pretty good but for people just starting to use liquid liner I'd suggest a small brush type.
