I use liquid eyeliner, and have found that using an eyeshadow base helps keep both my shadow and liner from smudging.
My daughter is a big fan of Avon's creme liners - I have no personal experience with them, but I do know that her liner looks good throughout the day.

I LOVE Benefit's FYeye! eyeshadow base. It adds a few more minutes to my routine, since you have to let it sit for 3 minutes before applying eyeshadow, but by the end of the day, it's definitely worth it.

I bought this during the Sephora F/F sale on your recommendation and I love it! I had no idea it was actually possible for my eyeshadow to stay on all day.

I'm also a big fan of Benefit's That Gal - it's a foundation primer and it really reduces redness in the skin.

Isn't it awesome?!

I've never used foundation, but thinking I should start soon.

Munchkin - did you ever try the Urban Decay shadow primer? I looked at the FYeye in Sephora, but it seems like it might be a little too thick for my liking.

I use the Urban Decay one now.

I use the Urban Decay one and I absolutely love it.

I think a little of it goes a long way - I've had my jar for two months now and it barely looks like I've been using it.

I didn't even know Urban Decay made a shadow primer! I only started getting "into" make-up in the past year or two, so I'm out of it a bit.

It is thick but, like GP said, a little really does go a long way. I've had it for about 6 or 7 months, and it's just now starting to look like I've been using it.

Have any of you tried Ojon? I have to say that after spending an ungodly amount of time on the Sephora website and ordering a $200 hair iron, I'm really tempted to try it out, but before I fork over the money for it, I want to know if any of you have tried it and think it's worth it or not.

What do you think about that hair iron? is it really worth 200 bucks?

cuteASAbug · #12 01-09-2008, 05:12 PM

I'll tell you once it gets here.

I've never used Ojon, but IMO the BEST hair iron I have ever used is the Maxi Glide. My nair NEVER frizzes and it stays straight, shiny, and silky.

Good luck with the Ojon!

Alright, I have to praise Benefit FY...Eye some more - I am still using the jar we talked about last December and it's about 25% full! I just ordered another one for backup but this one is definitely worth the money.

Has anyone tried the Posietint from Benefit yet? I like the Benetint but I'm thinking I might wear the Posietint more. Duh, I just saw somebody asked about this upthread. I'll post if I try it!
