I use either Mayblienne or Covergirl for most of my makeup. Though I found a really cool glitter shine by Rimmel that I love. I am too poor to buy department store makeup, but I usally get some as gifts. My fav is Elizabeth Arden, I love their lip glosses!!! I don't know why exactly, but they are just better than other stuff I use. I have a hard time finding a foundation that matches my face color. I spend a lot of time out in the sun during the summer, so my color changes all the time! Any suggestions?

have you ever had your makeup done at a department store? they might have some great tips for you.
don't be afraid to tell them how you want the end result to look-they can sometimes get carried away and you end up looking like you should go stand on the street corner.

I haven't because I work 2 jobs, and have very little time for myself.

I once had a lady at the Dior counter put so much turquoise and purple eyeshadow on me that it looked like I had a goldfish around each eye.

I wear glasses too, and the one thing I've learned is that you really can go bolder or dramatic or go a bit sparkly behind glasses. Mascara is your friend, even if you don't have time to do anything else on your eyes! I've been trying to get the smoky eye down since my eyes are so dark anyway.
There are a lot of makeup tips and tutorials here and here, so have fun!

I loooove Dior Show mascara. I'm lazy and don't take it completely off at night, so I usually do end up with raccoon eyes in the morning, but that's easily fixed.
I just bought this foundation from Sephora yesterday and so far it's been great!

Actually this depends on what the glasses are correcting. If you're farsighted, you should go light on the makeup as the lenses will magnify your eyes. If you're nearsighted, however, pile it on. The days I wear my glasses to work, I don't dare take them off as I'd look rather Mimi-like.
I'm still having mascara issues. Revlon's new one looks good, but I'm afraid it would clump like the other one did after I had it a while. Try the DiorShow at Sephora if you have one (they have individual mascara brushes for try-ons) - I'm glad I did, cause all my friends were raving about it but it was not my bag at all.

Okay, take my comments from the perspective of my astigmatic nearsightedness!

I purchased the Bare Minerals Smoky Eye Tutorials set back in January. I love the colors but for me I like the smoky eye look better for night time wear. I feel like it's too dark or too much eye make up for daytime. It comes with it's own "smoky eye" brush!

I use Dior Show now and to be honest, I am not that impressed. I was disappointed because I had heard awesome things and rave reviews. It just didn't live up to the hype for me.
eta: Maybe I'm applying the mascara wrong. I apply it normally, bottom to top with a slight wiggle of the brush. 2 coats. Does Dior Show have a special trick I missed? I just don't understand why everyone else loves it and I am just not impressed. I'm weird like that I guess.

I use MAC Studio Fix foundation and powder, Benefit Dandelion powder (as a blush), light brown Stila eyeliner and Clinique mascara. I also use Philosophy's Purity facewash and Hope in a Jar moisturizer (BEST PRODUCT EVER) and their Big Skinny self-tanner.
I don't own eyeshadow - I have tried just about every color and NONE look good on me. I'm really pale with light reddish brown hair and blue eyes, and eyeshadow always makes me look like a raccoon.
