Liquid -Kat Von D - Lock-It

THIS FOUNDATION ACTUALLY COMES IN A COLOUR TOO LIGHT FOR ME!!! I went in to Sephora, looking for a white foundation to mix with my Revlon Colorstay Whipped foundation to make it lighter. They didn't have any white ones, but the girl there showed me this, I have it in L42 which I believe is the lightest one. It is extremely full coverage, long-wearing, and FREAKING PALE. If you are a pasty white girl like me, go check this foundation out!

Eyeliner -L'Oreal - Carbon Black Lineur Intense Felt Tip Liquid Eyeliner

I was disappointed with this liquid liner. I do like the application and matte finish, BUT it is not very dark or pigmented. I found myself re-tracing my lines to try to make it darker, but...well that didn't go so well. The liner became streaky and just messy looking. It did not give me the clean black line i was looking for. I suggest using the Mabelline Line Stiletto instead.

Eyeliner -Maybelline - Line Stiletto liquid eyeliner

My absolute favourite liquid eyeliner. PROS: long wearing, very black, applies smoothly, doesn't smudge or transfer, perfect for creating wings, easy to use felt-tip, easy removal CONS: halfway through lining my eye, I usually have to put the brush back in and shake it to get more product, finishes to a sort of shiny black--definitely not matte, it can tend to flake a little bit, usually after 6+ hours

Concealers -Hard Candy - Glamoflauge Concealer

I use this concealer in "light" every day to hide my under-eye circles. It covers extremely well, and doesn't feel heavy on the skin. It does crease, but seriously, what under-eye concealer doesn't? Ideally, they would have a better shade selection, I think there are currently only 3 shades. I am very fair, and this concealer doesn't appear orange or grey on the skin, but because it is not lighter than my skin tone, it does not brighten my under eye area at all. Still, for under $10, this is an amazing product and lasts a very long time!

Concealers -MAC - select cover-up

I don't even know how many tubes of this I have purchased...too many. I used to use this in NW15 as a foundation--it was the only thing i could find that covered well and was light enough. It definitely worked nicely as a foundation, but I have found concealers that cover much more using less product, and that are significantly less expensive. Not the worst product in the world, but I don't think it is worth the money. I suggest looking into some drugstore concealers, such as Hard Candy's "Glam-oflage", Revlon's concealer stick, or Mabelline's "fit me" concealer.

Blush -MAC - Sheertone blush in Tenderling
kirstenp 10/3/2012 7:33:00 PM
This is my HG blush! I have had it for over 4 years, and wear it all the time! It gives a rosy, healthy glow to my skin, is pretty long-wearing, and is perfect for everyday. I don't know how well it would show up on dark skin tones, but if you are fair and looking for a new MAC blush, DEFINITELY check this one out!

Blush -MAC - Sheertone Shimmer - Springsheen

Great spring/summer time blush! I can only vouch for fair-skinned people, but this blush is very flattering, giving a healthy flush to the cheeks, and the gold sparkle to it is not overwhelming. It is very warm toned, and is definitely build-able. If you are looking for a warm-toned, shimmery, coral blush, definitely check this one out!
