Makeup Discussion

I got my birthday present a couple days ago so now I have brand new makeup from Origins. I got powder, liquid foundation, blush, beige sparkly eyeshadow and purple eyeshadow.

I love origins!

Here's what I look like in my makeup...not a very good pic but whatever.

really nice!

aaw lovely!

do you pluck your eyebrows or are they naturally that shape!?

They're naturally that shape I did get them done 6 months ago, but that was mainly to get the middle bit waxed. I love my eyebrows.

More questions!
How bad is mascara for eyelashes? Does it make them shorter? And how fast?

booo jealous! mine are really light though so I can get away with leaving them sometimes.

I have used mascara almost every day for about 4 years and my eyelashes are fine.

the only thing that makes it bad is if you don't remove it properly (that goes for all make up) and if you use the same mascara for longer than 3 months. Eyelashes have tiny micronisms (is that a word?) on them and when you put on mascara they go on the brush then in the tube. I would avoid using curlers with mascara as I knew someone whos eyelashes broke off because of curling!

It's best to buy a good brand, some have proteins and fancy crap in it too, also it works better when it's more expensive - doesn't clump. These ones that seperate each lash or add volume or both really work and you don't have to put much on for it to work, Maybelline or Bourjois, that kinda brand. If you think black looks too stark get brown. My whole look is based around my eyes, rock n roll glam! I think if you have loads on your eyes don't have as much on your lips, and the other way round too, but then everyone is different.I just think there's gotta be a balance or it looks cheap.

Use make up wipes to get it off, you can hold the wipes between your fingers and get hold of your lashes to take every bit of mascara off, they're much kinder to eyes then say baby lotion and cotton wool (OUCH!).

:o so this is what it feels like to have a little sister

I want a little sister.

I wash my face every morning and night to get the makeup off. When I get a new mascara, I'm gonna get the Maybelline Stiletto kind, it looks really nice.

But okay I have a new question! Yes I have so many. Anyways, my eyeshadow is like GONE by the end of the day. It stays on for 2 hours or so, but then its gone. Why does it do that?

Pretty make-up courtney! Maybe you rub your eyes too much, that happens with me sometimes. I have contacts, and if my eyes bother me, I rub them. Then my make-up starts to come off. Sometimes I just have to remind myself to stop lol.

put foundation and powder on your eyelids like on your face then put eyeshadow over the top, might help to put a tiny 'dusting' of powder over the top of the eyeshadow but then that tones it down. When I put blusher on there's the foundation and powder underneath it and then I put powder over the top and it makes it stay longer - that's also handy to know if you put too much on by accident because putting powder over the top blends it in better then taking it off and starting over. Just seen the pics on your blog Courtney, you look so grown up!

I never take make up out with me if I'm going some where and never re-apply because I can't be bothered haha I put lipgloss on sometimes before I go out but don't bother redoing it later.

When I rub an eyelid by accident I go 'oh no!' and rub the other one the same amount to even it out haha

I have been doing my make-up pretty much the same for about eight years. About three years ago I shaved off my eyebrows and started to draw them on. I ware alot of eye make-up; for eyeliner I use Revlon ColorStay liquid liner, for mascara I use Loreal Double Extend because I hate waring fake lashes and my real lashes are quite short, for my brows I use Prestige eyeliner and I use Alba lip balm. I don't ware concealer much.
