Have you tried using any kind of bronzer? Main thing would be I would think would be to make sure you have the make up well blended at the hair line and the neck/throat so there wont be any lines. People can USUALLY pull off a foundation color that is one shade lighter or one shade darker if they blend it well.

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.

I'm becoming a Benefit junkie - I ordered the Dallas/Bright Eyes/Bad Gal trio from Sephora.com and love all three (though the Bad Gal took a little getting used to after having used DiorShow for so long). Also love their Boing! concealer and bluff dust, though I haven't been using that as much lately. I might have to try out That Gal, I can't seem to get anything to work on my redness. I have the Smashbox color-correcting primer right now and it's just Eh.

Try Miss Popularity next. It's my newest fixation.

I love StudioFix! Yes, it will stay good until spring. Buy some extra disc sponges for when you use it again. Some things I've discovered about StudioFix--it is great for covering up any and everything. But it will turn a shade darker on your face, especially if you have oily or combination skin. I usually buy one a shade darker (for when I'm hitting the tanning salon) and one a shade lighter (because I'm not always good about going) to even things out.

I'm another huge fan of StudioFix! And yes, it does keep well over time. I just bought a new compact of NW25 last night - I probably won't need to open this one for quite some time and I know it will be just fine when it will be time for me to use it.

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.

Yes Studio fix does change on your face. Also it isnt good to wear if you will be taking alot of pictures because theres a white substance in it, Mica. it reflects off the light of the camera and makes you look clear. Also, if you have oily skin Mac foundations will make you glisten after wear for an hour or more. I found a brand called Ben Nye, its stage make up but its the best! and its one third the price of the Studio Fix.

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

cuteASAbug · #**210** 01-09-2008, 05:12 PM

I'll tell you once it gets here.
