Hello,

I keep two different colors, one for the winter and spring, and one for the summer and fall. since your skin probably tans in the summer, the tan will last into the fall so you can still wear the same make-up. the case is the same for the winter/spring. I hope that helped.

One thing I refuse to buy from MAC is there brushes. They're expensive as CHUCK (who's that )!! I've gone to Walgreens and Sally's and bought some really nice brushes.

I am a new member of "MAC Anonymous"...I finally went there today and got some foundation, powder, and concealer that actually matches my skin tone!!

Of course, I have to get some eyeshadow, liner, and lipgloss too!

I've decided to start collecting all of their makeup...

What's funny though. is that they tried to get me to buy a brush set from them...I was liek "Heck naw" (n my head, of course). My friend was like, "Gurl, do not waste your money"...I'll be going to "Tarjay" (Target) , or Walgreens, etc. (somewhere cheaper).

Great minds DO think alike

Y'all need to go to Ames!

They are closing and having their liquidation sale. So all of the things you will buy a the pharmacy (for me that is concealer and lipsticks- maybe eyeliners as well) are on sale. I picked up a couple of different things for great prices.

The only thing I am willing to buy at MAC is foundation (Studio fix) and lip glass (great products. But then I will only use MAC products for my foundation. I used Fashion Fair one time and broke out really, really badly.

For cleansing, I generally use Ivory soap, or Neutrogena Acne fighting cleanser. Clinique dramatically different moisturizer is the best for my skin, but fragrance-free Cocoa butter lotion is not too bad (and cheaper).

Now that we're on a cleansing tip, I want to give the good word for Clarins. I've used Clarins for about eight years now, and the products are excellent. I use their gentle foaming cleanser during the morning and their Lait Demaquillant at night, along with a complement of toners, exfoliators and moisturizers.

It's expensive. But they're pretty good at giving out samples.

i want the brand and name of the lipstick that marilyn manson wears. it is such a pretty, deep red that i'm sure would look almost as good on me as it does on him.

I usually do not wear make-up unless I have a special occasion to wear it. When I do, though, I wear Mary kay. I used to wear Fashion Fair and had been wearing it since freshman year in college, but over the years I think they changed the formula somehow because in pictures I would look like Casper's sister. Then my fiance's mom had a Mary Kay party and when the Mary Kay lady did my face, I could hardly tell I had it on and I was hooked! I love my Mary Kay!

That's good to know - I knew Estee Lauder owned Flori Roberts, Clinique and Bobbi Brown cosmetics, but not MAC.

and if a place near you sells the tomm hill nail polish.. it is great

luvelylocs · #56 08-08-2002, 03:33 PM

I havent tried MAC makeup yet, but I like Iman's makeup. Its really light and blends great with my skin tone. As far a cleaners, I like Aveno (sp) or Neutrogena (very mild)

For cleansing I use Oil of Olay Face Wash. My mom has pretty skin and has used it all her life so I wanted to start with something I saw working for her. The key to pretty skin is not to overload your face with makeup but I love MAC makeup. I get MAC happy at the counter. The Studio Fix was the first powder that actually looked natural on me. Give me some Studio Fix NC 45, a chestnut lip liner, Coconutty lipstick, and some lip glass and I'm set. I don't need MAC makeup brushes, to me it's like buying a expensive cloth to wash a car...it's not necessary.

I don't care for Fashion Fair foundation. It makes people look orange to me and we do not have a natural orange glow

Oh someone mentioned the look of the MAC salespeople. I said that's a rather husky woman over there. Well urrr---ruhhhh SHE was a HE named Keisha. Standing there all RUPaulified

FeeFee · #58 08-09-2002, 10:53 AM

MAC Studiofix C7, Oh Baby Lipglass and the Chestnut lipliner makes FeeFee a happy soul. I almost forgot, I can't find my MAC Fetish lipstick. Dayum, Dayum Dayum!!!! And I have to get me some more lipglass too.

I never did care for Fashion Fair. The foundations always seemed to be too heavy for me. I also like Clinique's foundation (I was always between two shades with them).

As far as nail polish, I'm not that picky. Brucci, Revlon, local nail salon colors suits me just fine!

luxious99 · #59 08-09-2002, 05:52 PM

I love MAC. I just went to Hecht's yesterday to get some new shades before school starts. I tried on Spite (lip gloss) with the Chestnut (lip liner), and some clear lip glass to go with it, and I fell in love. I tried on a lipstick called Shitaki with the cork lip liner and i loved that too. So, I'm all set for a little while.

I usually wear fashion fair foundation and press powder; and if I need to conceal a little bit I'd use Maybelline 3 N 1 Makeup concealer.

I don't put a lot of money down on Mascara....I'll just by some wet "n" wild mascara. We all know that's the cheap stuff but it's only on the eyelids.

I use all different types of lipcolors but the colors that I'm really dig is the pale nude or pink like what Alicia keys and J. Lo wears. To accomplish this I would put on Rose Suede by Neutrogena and then apply a little of plum delish by Maybelline to give it that ice pink cool look.

If you're like me you try to fight aging even though I'm not old I still try to keep my neck looking real skin tight by using Lancome's Renergie intense lift. Best perfume I just got to tell you even though this post isn't about perfume is......... Dolce and gabbana (red) and Champs Eleysses by Guerlain.
Don't forget to mud mask weekly.
