Eyeliner -Make Up For Ever - Aqua eyes waterproof eyeliner pencil

I went to Sephora looking for the stila smudge stick, but they do not carry it yet. I asked the rep to recommend a liner for my water line. I love love love UD's 24/7 in zero, it has great lining capabilities and the color stays fresh all day, but it is only good for the upper lid...so the rep turned me on to MUFE's Aqua Eyes liner in black. First I primed the bottom lid with UD's Primer Potion in Eden, another great product. Then I sweeped the color along the waterline. Let me tell you. I am VERY happy with the results. The color is bold, straight defined and perfect. I will report back by the end of the day, should the racooning or smudging occur. But for now, I love love love. : )

Foundations -Cover FX - COVER FX

I am an avid user of Cover FX Cream Foundation, color E40. But PLEASE listen up.... Before you apply foundation, a Cover FX primer MUST be applied. Otherwise it will not blend, and as other people have mentioned it will have the consistency of a rock and it will appear cakey once applied. I apply Dr. Brandt's Pores no More (which is a god send!), then I apply the Clearprep FX Matte Foundation Primer and Anti Acne Treatment, let it sit a minute or two, and THEN I apply the foundation. I really find that it goes on best when applied with a sponge. The coverage is fantastic. I have minor redness and dark eye circles and this foundation covers and evens EVERYTHING out. To top it off, I definitely definitely definitely would recommend Bare Minerals face powder in Mineral Veil. I like a semi-bronzed look so I use the tinted one. As another person mentioned, this stays on well all day. The only time a touch up is needed is nightime. I just went to Sephora last week and picked up another compact. I love it!
