Mac or Body Shop makeup brushes? Why? Not based on cost though?

If the choice is between those, then I would go with the Mac brushes. I really like the Body Shops hair brushes and detangling comb, but I don't purchase make-up products there. I don't like the handles and it doesn't say what the brushes are made of, which always makes me skeptical.





Personally I really like the Ulta Professional brushes (from Ulta) and Sonia Kashuk Access (from Target). Both are really great values in my opinion. I esp. love the Ulta Professional Wide Shadow Brush--best eye brush ever.

(The handle is much longer than it looks like in the picture. They are standard professional size handles.)

Any good makeup blogs/websites that are not based on M.A.C?

I've been searching for makeup blogs. I've found quite a lot, but most of them are based on M.A.C cosmetics and pigments. I'm not a big fan of the extremely colorful, cake icing eyeshadow technique. Are there any other blogs out there that don't focus so much on heavy eyes? Any help would be greatly appreciated.Any good makeup blogs/websites that are not based on M.A.C?

Why isn't starting a war based on a lie impeachable regardless of the makeup of the houses?

Republicans control both the House %26amp; Senate.





The House initiates the impeachment process and it is tried in the Senate.





It is a political process, it is not a legal process. And, it is highly unlikely either party would impeach their own president (the head of their party).





It's possible, but so is being struck by lightning.Why isn't starting a war based on a lie impeachable regardless of the makeup of the houses?
Because lying isn't illegal, unless under oath, and the president can only be impeached for ';high crimes and misdemeanors.';Why isn't starting a war based on a lie impeachable regardless of the makeup of the houses?
Because the senate and the house gave their okay after looking at the facts themselves,if there is an impeachment,then everyone in washington is to blame
I know how you feel.





I have to teach my kids that there are people who lie to their kids about the President everytime the Mainstream Media screams a new tale.





I have been able to show them that as fast as these come out, they fade away because they are based on hate by people of little or no character.





The problem is, however that these other kids believe those lies and will grow up to vote blind liberal.





Eventually, I tell my children, these young persons will take their false beliefs to the extreme, attack or betray the United States, and make it necessary for the state to eliminate them.





We pray for the children that you are sacrificing to your hate speech.





Thank you for your time.
Because Congress gave their OK.
because people insist on being treated like livestock. moooo
I shudder to think how your children will turn out.

Is there a powder based mineral makeup that doesn't dry out skin?

I currently use Physicians Formula liquid mineral makeup, but I want the convenience of a pressed powder, which they don't carry. They only have face powder that I am aware of. I have tried a few brands that carry pressed powder mineral makeup, but they dry out my combination/oily skin. I don't like loose powder, because it is just too messy.Is there a powder based mineral makeup that doesn't dry out skin?
bare escentuals is the brand...their makeup is all mineralsIs there a powder based mineral makeup that doesn't dry out skin?
The titanium dioxide and bismuth oxychloride are the ingredients that are drying you out. All Mineral makeup has these ingredients.





try christopher drummond beauty (www.christopherdrummond.com), they do not have any of these ingredeints, and are hydrating to the skin. It is also all natural, organic-based and vegan!!!
Most likely not you will have to find a good balance in things mineral make up ingediants are derived from mineral one being ery close to salt which will dry your skin... Or you can always go back to liquid make up idk why it is getting such a bad rap.. LIQUID MAKEUP WILL NOT MAKE EVERYONE BREAK OUT..You should really try its not even bad for your skin thats just what what they want you to think...
that brand is still filled with chemicals. try pure mineral makeup. It is in a powder form, but not messy. At least I have never had problems with that. I get mine on ebay..it is much cheaper and get a whole lot more then brands like bare minerals.

AMAZING STUFF HUN

Good makeup for me based on pic? (brands too) with pics here!?

http://i193.photobucket.com/albums/z312/鈥?/a>Good makeup for me based on pic? (brands too) with pics here!?
You're really pretty! I think you should use your makeup to draw attention to those beautiful bright blue eyes. I am making a lot of suggestions, so do not feel like you have to do everything I suggest!





1. Use a concealer that matches your skin tone to cover any blemishes or under-eye circles.





2. Apply liquid foundation with a damp cosmetic sponge and blend well. I recommend Maybelline Pure Makeup http://www.maybelline.com/Product/Face/F鈥?/a>





3. Apply a translucent powder to absorb any shine and make your skin look smoother. I recommend L'Oreal Bare Naturale Soft-Focus Mineral Finish http://www.lorealparisusa.com/_us/_en/de鈥?/a>





4. Use a dark brown eyeliner pen like Maybelline LineStylist in Espresso http://www.maybelline.com/Product/Eye/Ey鈥?/a> to line INSIDE your lashline. Use one finger to hold your lashes out of the way, and line with the other hand.





5. Buy an eyeshadow duo with a pearly and taupe eyeshadow, like L'Oreal Wear Infinite in Sand Dune http://www.maybelline.com/Product/Eye/Ey鈥?/a> Blend the lighter color just under your eyebrows to accentuate their nice shape, and blend the darker color around your eyelids and crease. The brownish tones will complement your blue eyes.





OR





Apply a peach eyeshadow like Urban Decay in Blaze http://sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?鈥?/a> to your upper lids, just above your lashline. Peach will compliment your eye color and hair color very well.





OR





Apply a thin line of pearly light pink eyeshadow, like CoverGirl Eyeslicks in Tickled Pink http://www.covergirl.com/products/produc鈥?/a> just above your upper lashline. This color will also wonderfully complement your eye color and help define your eyes.





6. Curl your eyelashes, if you want, and apply a dark brown Mascara. I like CoverGirl's LashExact mascara in Black Brown http://www.covergirl.com/products/produc鈥?/a>





7. Apply a peachy blush to your cheekbones (you can find your cheekbones by looking in the mirror and sucking in your cheeks like you just ate something sour). Try L'Oreal Feel Naturale in Charmed Peach http://www.lorealparisusa.com/_us/_en/de鈥?/a> This will help compliment your eye and hair color.





OR





To complement your eye and skin tone, and accentuate your lovely cheekbones, try Maybelline Expert Wear Duo in Siamese Pink http://www.maybelline.com/Product/Face/B鈥?/a> and apply the darker color just under your cheekbones, and the light, shimmery color on your cheekbones.





8. I really like the shape of your lips, so try Maybelline LineStylist lip liner http://www.maybelline.com/Product/Lip/Li鈥?/a> in a shade that matches your lips.





9. I would recommend a peachy lipgloss. You have a lot of options, so check out the following:





Maybelline Shiny-Licious Lipgloss in Pink Sorbet or Melon Ball http://www.maybelline.com/Product/Lip/Li鈥?/a>





Covergirl Wetslicks Lipgloss in Peaches And Gleam http://www.covergirl.com/products/produc鈥?/a>





Sephora Brand Super Shimmer Lipgloss in Apricot Souffle or Sugar Coat http://sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?鈥?/a>





I hope I helped!Good makeup for me based on pic? (brands too) with pics here!?
For eyeliner: Me being fair skined as well, we have to watch what color eyeliners we use. Like black is way to hars. I would try a brown/black eyeliner from Prestige (Can be found in drugstores) $6. Also I would try a liner/eyeshadow in metalic blue, This will make your eyes pop! Try maybelline cool effect cooling shadow/liner $7 at the nearest drugstore.





Mascara: I can't recommend anything besides Lash Blash Mascara from Covergirl. This mascara has a brush twice the size of other brushes so your eyelashes are twice as long and have twice the volume.





Eyeshadow: I would try lighter colors to brighten your face, and keep your look sweet while complementing your eyes. Try light pale blues, light pinks, light greens, or gold. Don't try greys, black, dark purples, dark blue, forest green etc. It may look to harsh.





Foundation: Nothing is better then covergirls foundation products! There powder truly dosn't clogg my pores and there foundation is so light I feel like Im wearing nothing at all! Also try almays bronzers. They will give your skin a little glow. Apply it on the apples of your cheeks.





Blush: Try a light pink blush, it will keep your face fresh and sweet. Also try a liquid peach blush, it will make your complexion glow.





Lipgloss: Pale pink lipgloss, peach or a tan. I recommend Loreal Paris Colour Juice sheer juicy lip gloss in Melon Punch or Maybellines wet shine diamond liquids.
ur eyes are pretty :]

Can makeup expired, specially bases and powders?

Yes, it does expire. Most of us are guilty of having old makeup that we use only now and again. I understand that soon all makeup will have to have expiry dates on. Best advice is buy makeup little and often. Also wash out any makeup applicators, sponges, etc, regularly, with a gentle detergent and warm water, and let dry completely before using again.Can makeup expired, specially bases and powders?
Yes, there is no guarantee it will work after the expiration date.Can makeup expired, specially bases and powders?
Sure, 6 months, heave out.
yes it all does.
Yes, the life time is different depending on what the ingredients are.
Yes, makeup does expire. Most makeup is good for about 3 months. If you're unsure whether or not your makeup has expired, your best bet is to replace it.
lipsticks and lipglosses do get expired.
It can lose effectiveness if it gets too old.
It gets bacteria in it, I found a compact when I was moving, favorite color sweet right! Oh no I opened it up and tiny little bugs in it. Eye make-up does the same thing! And facial make-up will dry out and get thick, plus the bacteria will cause acne and infections on your eyes. Look on the bottle some have expiration dates on them. The optometrist said through it out every 60 to 90 days.
bases and powders should be thrown out once every 6 months
Makeup will not lose its effectiveness, BUT the bacteria that gets on and in it when you use it can build up over time. Usually it's best to replace it after about 6 months. You don't want to get an eye infection or skin irritation from it. The point to makeup is to look a little bit cuter, not have a swollen eye or blotchy skin!
You want to change your makeup at LEAST once a year because they gather bacteria and also lose effectivness. You dont want a nasty eye infection.. yikes!
