Make-up Q & A Thread

^haha ok i might, do you have any recommendations?

Definitely try to use waterproof mascaras :L

Ummm right now I'm using Majolica Majorca lash expander and its my HG ^^

Another mascara that is underrated is Clio O'Tank mascara although i think it might be a bit hard to find.

Oh and if you haven't jumped on the Covergirl Lashblast wagon wheel then definitely try that out as well ^^

Hello

My question is:

How many times do you guys typically use your makeup brushes before you wash them?

[Guest iPhets]

thanks a lot everyone for the inputs !! they were extremely helpful =)

i think it could be both my mascara and my curling skills LOL.

i dont think i curl it long enough and my mascara could be a little too heavy + its not waterproof

i'll definitely try out the mascara recc's when this one runs out!

thanks so much again

lol as for me coz im an OCD freak, i wash it like everyday. But as long as you keep your workplace sterile (or just even neat and tidy), then you can wash it once a week. But if you use two products in one brush, i must say you have to wash it after you have used it.

Hello

Certain brushes, like foundation, concealer, etc. I wash after about 1-2 uses. Those brushes gather bacteria FAST. I typically wash my other brushes after 2-3 uses. If you wash it the way painters wash their paintbrushes, it won't damage your brush at all, so you can keep washing your brushes as frequent as you like.

Hello, fellow soompiers

I just very recently started wearing eyeliner and mascara and I have a question. I have pretty dark eye circles and I'm not sure how to get the right concealer. Anyone help?

But my main question is, does it look weird or unattractive if I wear my eyeliner/mascara without concealer until I get some concealer? I don't think it's too bad, but someone told me that it looks like my eyeliner got smudged all under my eye T ^T

Here's a picture.

I always choose a concealer that's one shade lighter than my foundation. And I always choose foundation that matches my skin tone.

And I don't think it looks weird or unattractive. Most days I'm too lazy to do the whole foundation and concealer thing, so I just use eye makeup. It looks perfectly fine.

hello fellow soompiers!

Does anyone know of a gooood fake eyelash glue?

I am meekly treading into the forest of fake eyelashes.. ahah.

I know Duo's great but it's a bit pricey for like that tiny tube of stuff ($8!?) - or is there no other replacement?

Thanks!

^ I use Ardell Lash Grip.

You can find it at Walmart. I get mine for $3.99!

I got a Maybelline concealer quite a while ago and I thought it was pretty close to my skin tone, but my friend said that she could see that it (under my eyes where I applied it on) was lighter than the rest of my face T ^T

I don't use eyelash glue because for some reason it itches me. I've always had super sensitive skin though. If you have EyeTalk, the eyelid glue stuff, you can put a little on the fake lashes and it sticks. It's what I do.

Hmm what do you use to apply concealer? How much do you put on? Blending takes some practicing, but after awhile it gets easy. I find that I only need very little, like maybe a dab under my eye, and I blend it either with my finger (patting it) or my concealer brush.

How do I lighten my eyebrows using makeup? Is there a specific product for this? My hair is currently brown.

just use a poweder thats a shade or so darker than your hair!

[Guest PeaceOfCake]

Is it okay to use liquid foundation or a cream concealer over a powder?

I use the little brush it came with to dab it under my eye and use my finger to pat it in. I guess I just need to practice ^^

What do you guys use to clean your make-up brushes? I never seem to be able to clean them properly. >.<

[Guest MC_Lee]

I was wondering what moisturizer do you guys recommend for REALLY dry skin?

Also what products can I use to make my skin have that glowing effect?

You should try MAC's Brush Cleanser. I've read great reviews about it on makeupalley. I personally like to use Dr. Bronner's Tea Tree Castile Soap.
