ONTD

I love this every time I see it. :)

you betta ~werq raptor

taylor's ads were hideous. i can't believe those were considered suitable. could've been a lot better.

Loving your icon tbh.

how come

it's a well known fact throughout the industry that drugstore brands pay WAY WAY more than high fashion brands

if anything, then she's making BANK!

Did you know, that when it snows, my eyes become large?

i mean look how perfect, how can u say no to a face like this

I don't even know where to begin with this comment tbh.

you are doing too much.

but some people just like dick tho
she's beautiful but I'd still prefer men even if there were thousands of women just like her

well plenty of gay guys love her so I don't think it works that way

mte

but $$$. every model wants a major cosmetics contract & it's rare to get one since they mainly go to celebs.

iawtc, covergirl is so cheap

that is true

agree, but some people can only afford Covergirl ;__;

I use NARS concealer and love it. YSL brightener is AMAZING. Go to Sephora, they will show you a million products. It's such an easy problem to fix.

oh and 99.9% of makeup artists are insanely friendly and helpful. I promise they wont act like you're a schmuck if you tell them you're clueless.

Murad Essential-C eye cream is my shit. I don't wear foundation/concealer and this eye cream gets rid of bags and under eye darkness. What's your skin tone like? And honestly, they shouldn't judge you at a cosmetics counter. I used to work at one and my job was to just help people out. Somebody with a full Kim K face was coming to me for something different than someone with a bare face. If nothing else, somebody's lack or use of makeup just let's me know how to approach their knowledge base and their needs.

bobbi brown makes pretty great concealers.

i was a noob and then i met this wonderful girl at sephora who changed my life, if you just go in and tell them you know nothing about makeup they probably won't judge. they're on the whole very friendly, i think they know the makeup world can be a little intimidating (or i think it is, i am overwhelmed by choice tho)

generalizing: but find a gay guy if one works there. i've noticed that they have the best recommendations.

for under eye bags and puffiness i think this ole hendrichsen is awesome

the roller ball ones that are every where now (garnier has one at the drug store are effective

I love my MAC Russian Red. It is highly pigmented and one of the few red lipsticks that goes with my skin (blue based). It's a traffic stopping, heads turning lipstick. I usually tone it down a bit, but when I'm in the mood it goes full on. Always use a lip pencil because it tends to bleed a bit. It's a matte but you can always use a lip gloss.

NARS Cruella matte stick or Red Lizard lipstick

But my all time fave is discontinued. Chanel Coco Red :(

MAC Dark Side! I wish I could find a way to mattify it so I could wear it every day, though.

I'm generally a MAC girl, but the Russian Red is a bit too warm for me. My favorite red is actually a pink that is so deep it seems red: Revlon Raspberry Bite.



This pic is a little dark... It doesn't look like a dark burgundy on, it's a deep, rich red/pink, like the deepest blue red you've ever seen, it looks a LOT like the first lipstick J-Stam is wearing.

It's got a high-end look to it, like a Chanel Rouge Coco or something. I literally get asked wherever I go what it is, and I just ordered 2 for the price of 1 on Amazon for less than 10 bucks!

MAC's Pro Longwear Lipcreme in Prolong.

Smashbox Sangria (but it's IDK if it counts since it's technically a lipstain).

DuWop's Private Red is my new favourite. It's such a true red and it goes on really nicely too. It feels smooth and silky, not at all drying.

MAC lady bug bc i prefer the lustre finish and i find it's versatile for a red, ie you can build it to more intensity

RIMMEL! omg insta-love with Coffee Shimmer. It's so perfect for me/my skintone etc. just ... perfect.

lol I actually asked the sales lady if it would be discontinued soon or anything or if I should stock up now. She was so nice though - said I needn't worry, Rimmel doesn't do that, esp. since this line is selling really well ('Moisture Renew') and that only Revlon really discontinues their shit.
