Can you get just your legs airbrushed? And, does it have to be really dark? I just want my legs to look "sunkissed" since the rest of me is more delicately tinted.

I'm pretty sure you can if you get the custom airbrusher-guy (I REALLY need to figure out what their job title is- the tan artist?) instead of the machine- I know where I go, they'll do you from just the neck up, so I'm sure they would do just your legs.

I do know that having the person do it is more expensive than doing a mystic tan in the machine/booth thing, but I guess you at least know the person knows which areas to concentrate on in order to not make it look like you've dipped yourself in a vat of orange paint

I finally found my best lip gloss! It's Estee Lauder's Tender Peach, and has an SPF of 15. Y'all may have noticed that all of my makeup has an SPF...

what up makeup heads!? friday, i found a tutorial on youtube showing how to remove eyeshadow (MAC in particular, but i imagine it would work for any brand) from the plastic pots so you can put it into a palette. i transferred 14 shadows from pot to palette today and now have room to make more purchases.

I love Smashbox eyeliners. I use their Jet Set Eyeliner when I want a really defined line, and their creme eyeliners when I want something more subtle or something I can blend into my eyeshadow (I also like that they come in fun colors!).

My problem with their creme eyeliners though is that they get smudged on my top eyelid (kind of hard to explain, but I don't have those beautiful doe-looking eyes)

Can anyone recommend either a brand that don't smudge like that or a way to prevent my current creme eyeliner from smudging?

Thanks

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've heard mixed reviews about Diorshow Blackout -- any of the GC ladies care to comment?

Things I've heard:
+ Color is fantastic
+ Elongates the lashes
- powdery, so it flakes
- doesn't stay put > you get racoon eyes all day

Thoughts?

I'm a huge fan of DiorShow... but wasn't sure if I should fork over the $23 for this other one
