Make Up

[nattynetty]

OK all the late nights and stressing about the shop has left me with (worse than usual) dark circles under my eyes and I was hoping for some concealer and foundation recommendations from you girls (and boys too if make up's your thang :p). Went into town yesterday and the L'Oriel ones I used to use are no longer available (must admit I did last buy them about 3 years ago) and there's just so much choice. I'm after something that stops me looking like one of the living dead and is natural looking.

Hello,


The No.7 Intelligent foundation is quite good.

I just go with the 'startled panda' look personally.

Si.

Boots Time Delay, instant eye brightener is good. It's a moisturiser that you put under your eyes & it help to diminish dark circles.

Aww just wear your bags like a badge of honour... you are a busy busy entrepeneur - yee-ha !

I have a concealer from benefit cosmetics. I love it. when I remember to I do this (I get dark circles too!)

I use benefit eyecon, which is for tired eyes, it smells good and goes on well, then i use ooh la lift, which is quite cooling and then I use their lyin eyes concealer.

ok so i feel like i should be getting comission from benefit. i have way too much of their make-up already...but just incase you need an eye shadow the show offs are lush! lol. heres their website

OMG!!! :o:)Another addictive website!! Thanks Pagan!!!! Sue xx

[nattynetty]

Thank you so much you lovely lovely people :kiss: The website you gave Pagan had some fab advice (I didn't join just was a lurker) so big thanks for that too.

I was a bit limited in brands here in Newmarket so plumped for Boots No7 and what a result!!! They have a 3 for 2 special offer on at the mo but it gets even better, opted for their Instant Radiance foundation and the lady told me their Concealer came free with this particular one and it counted in the 3 for 2 offer so I could get something else free too :mf: So I ended up with foundation, concealer and loose powder for only £13.25 instead of the usual £35.25. So if you're looking to bag a bargain girlies get yourself down to Boots!

I really recommend ELF make-up (www.eyeslipsface.co.uk (http://www.eyeslipsface.co.uk)) every piece of their make-up costs just £1.50 and the postage is £2.95 for their standard delivery (I ordered one evening, it was there on my doormat the next day!)

[swirlyarts]

I don't wear make up at all - only lip balm and occasionally some mascara. I grew up in the Indie phase of life and never learnt to put make up on! Is that sad?? If I do try to put it on, which I haven't done for years, I look like a scary woman!!

[Sprinkles]

I love makeup, but not too much of it. A little bit of wacky crazy colour and/or glitter does it for me :p
Yesterday i was wearing an orange top with green eyeshadow :D

Thanks for the £1.50 caz, that WILL be getting tested!
Sorry i cant help with the foundation/concealer and i dont wear anything on my face as i have excema. Just colour it in on my eyes and lips.
