The Makeup Thread

Aww never, good eye shadow distracts from blemishes, and embrace the paleness! Ha, I emphasise mine with a whitening primer!

I thought pinks and reds brought out blemishes particularly on a pale person?

Pink does for me, but not red!

I think I shall see how I feel lol!!! I dont have a lot of time tbh... I finish work at 5.45. Get home at 6.30 and leave at 6.50.... it's gonna be very tight lol!!

So long as you have a nice foundation base, concealer etc, it should be fine. Pink combined with grey shouldn't do anything different from using blue, purple, green etc, especially as grey works best with pinks and reds. Pale is usually a cool skin tone too, and pinks, grays, berries and deep blues work well with them. Have a play around with different colours and see what you feel comfortable with :)

Use a brush, dampen it on a baby wipe and dip lightly into pigment (preferably tip a little in the lid so you can work it into the brush) :)

I personally find it muuuch easier to wet the brush (but only slightly) as the pigment can sometimes go lumpy (if you add water to it), you apply it, it dries and you end up with fallout all over your face! Nightmare.

Hun you don't need software to download pics to your computer. Your operating system has it built in.

As some of you know I'm pretty gay/metro in the fact i wear makeup (usually just nights out) Got some new stuff today and still have to mix foundations to get a decent match!

Excuse strange expression:

looks pretty natural actually ross, what you using?

concealer is Gosh green and a maxfactor one.
This time ive mixed for foundation (about)
3parts dream satin liquid light porcelain
1part Gosh lift me up Honey
Gosh pressed sun powder, amazing sun

And then Maxfactor glide and defing liquid eyeliner, but then use a cotton bud to rub out most of it...i know bit of a waste, but its too dark! and looks stupid, this is just along the lash line.
