Love of makeup thread

One awesome perk of being in advertising/media is the freebies. What's even more awesome is that I'm on an account that is in touch with a lot of girly magazines.

We got free mascara from a magazine that we had a meeting with, and I absolutely LOVE it! It's Voluminous Million Lashes by L'Oreal. It's the brush that makes it so great. The brush is like a plastic-y, firm material, instead of bristles. It seems to make all the difference in the world because it separates my eyelashes better than any mascara I've ever tried. I'm sure there are others that have an applicator brush like this, but this is the first one I have ever come across. I highly recommend it if you're looking for a new mascara.

Oh, and I looked it up, and it's only like $9. Can't beat that!

Here's an FYI: if you have Citibank thankyou rewards, they have all kinds of makeup available for your rewards points. I got 4 mascaras (was supposed to be only one in the 1 package, but I got 3 of them! I hope I like it) basically for free. At least, I consider rewards points free.

Just hipping everyone to this as I would have NEVER thought of them having something like this available.

Alright, ladies....this movie that I'm in starts filming in a month, and I'm providing my own makeup. I need suggestions on a good pancake makeup/foundation...it's been awhile since I've bought my own. Brands: I've got Macy's, Belk, Dillards, Nordstroms, Sephoria, Bare Essentials, JC Penny's, and Merle Norman at my disposal. I'd like to go somewhere with a counter where I can try it first, since I have an awful time finding my shade (I always get stuff that's too pale for me). Suggestions?

Estee Lauder has a full-coverage foundation that probably works really well, Double Wear Maximum Cover. However, it's been reformulated recently from the old Maximum Cover, and I haven't tried the new one. With the older version, a teeny bit went a long way, but an advantage of the new one is better choice of shades.

Make Up For Ever is one that I see professional makeup artists talking about a lot online. You can find it at Sephora.
