Best Makeup Up Brushes

Posts Tagged ‘kind’

I have real pretty dark green eyes. ive been told i have pretty eyes ever since i was 13 and i look good with makeup. my thing is, is that i wanna expand my make up tips but dont know how too. i always wear dark brown eye shadow and brush white up across the top. whats the best eyeshadow to use to get a sexy evening look? is dark smokey grey a good eye shadow? are fake eye lashes good to use too?lol.

Right now I am using bare escentials which works great and I love it! I have the bronzer too. I’m running out of foundation and thinking of buying more soon but I was at Kohl’s recently and they have an awesome makeup selection there. You can’t buy there makeup anywhere else unless you order it but then you have to pay for shipping and handling. I was thinking of trying there foundation which is like mine (crushed up mineral foundation) and called American Express. Its the same price that I pay for my foundation $25 except there’s comes with a little brush for the foundation which I kinda need because I think it costs like $30 just to buy a good makeup brush! I need a good mineral foundation because I have eczema on my face and a lot of cheaper foundations will make my skin flare up and get rashy looking. Any thing with fragrance in it is an automatic no because that will irritate my skin and make it flare. So my question is which mineral foundation do you think looks the best?

Okay I bought eyeliner that was kind of like a sharpie…bad idea on my part because not only was it the wrong color but it was like WAY too leaky. I’m not very good at the whole make up scene so I was wondering what type of eyeliner is best…a pencil, brush, the cake kind? Help, please?

thanks!

I’m not asking for the model number of a MAC brush or anything, but if you’d like to mention which model brush you use that’s fine, I’m asking specifically what KIND of brush you prefer though.

I’ve been told a foundation brush is best, and then I’ve been told a stippling brush is, and some people have even said that they prefer a blush brush. Of coarse there are different preferences, but I want to try something new and I don’t know which one I should get for it.

What do you prefer and why?

I forgot to mention that make up likes to cake up on the dry parts of my skin, so I need the best brush to help prevent that if it’s possible.

I apologize in advance, this is looong:

My skin type: My skin gets oily in certain areas (mostly my forehead, around my nose, and chin), and it’s acne prone mostly due to stress and allergies. I don’t get a lot of white heads or black heads, I get those nasty bumps that are deep in the skin (usually one or two at a time), and take about a week to surface. They don’t look too bad since they can usually easily be hidden with concealer, but they hurt terribly. Since I’m naturally fair, any redness on my skin and scars are pretty noticeable.

What I’ve tried for skin care: You name it, I’ve probably tried it. I’ve been using mostly those 3 step kits, and I use them for several months before making my conclusion. I haven’t resorted to pills because I just don’t like having to remember to take medicine on a daily basis. Everything I have tried has irritated my skin pretty badly, except Proactiv. But all that did was strip my skin of any moisture. I’m using Olay right now to keep my skin moisturized. Luckily it doesn’t aggravate my acne. I ultimately want to get rid of (or at least fade) my acne scars (as well as scars from sparring), and obviously prevent acne so my face doesn’t hurt and I won’t have to worry about more scar prevention.

What I’ve tried for make-up: Probably anything you can get in Target or Wal-Mart. Right now I’m on Bare Minerals since my mom got me a starter kit. It’s not bad, but I want to try the matte powder before kicking it to the curb. The powders do a pretty good job at hiding imperfections and don’t clump up when I wear my glasses. My real problem is that even the lightest color isn’t light enough to match my fair skin just right. I’m sure it’s more visible to me than anyone else but I still don’t like it. The one thing I avoid like the plague is Cover Girl because it clogs my pores pretty badly.

What I was looking to try: I was interested in trying out Clinique’s skin care and make-up products; at least their make-up. No one I know uses Clinique, and I’m not too eager to rely on the webpage’s comments alone. I also saw a blog about Suki skin care products (sukiskincare.com) and there were photos posted of before and after results. The photos were not air brushed, and the women did have less acne, redness, and the scars were completely gone on a few of them. I’ve also heard that Skin Eternal Hyaluronic Serum is a good product, but I haven’t seen any well thought out reviews for it.

Sorry that was so long. What do you guys think I should try?
Karen, I will definitely try what you suggested! I’ve tried homemade skin care methods before, but saw no difference. Surprisingly, I haven’t read anything about castor oil and grape seed oil, despite knowing their benefits. I will try that, as well as the honey mask, as soon as I make my trip to the store!

Which one is really best to get?

Thank you

a powder brush? a small eyeliner brush… a fan brush… ladies give me some advice

Curious as to what eye makeup (liner, eyeshadow) goes best with dark brown eyes.

10 pts best answer, thanks!

I have very dark brown eyes. You cant even see them they kind of look black. And so I was wondering what kind of eye makeup would help my eyes stand out. I want to try putting eyeliner on the top lids to. Anyone know how to do that?

I have slightly almond shaped eyes. Not like extreme but they are really small. I would like some eye make up tips to make them look bigger. I don’t want my eyes to be really covered but I want them to stand out and for people to know that I am wearing makeup. Please help!
