I'm looking for 2 things

1. Eyeshadows that are less likely to look clumpy and gross after a few hours. My eyelids get oily (i guess) and i always get the crease.

2. A good masscara. From what a makeup artist told me once, I have cow eyelashes lol. They grow down and it's almost a miracle to have them curl lol.

Re: I'm looking for 2 things

1. You need a base. I use Urban Decay, I think it works the best, but there are a lot a great ones out there. I use that base and all of my drug store shadows stay perfect ALL day. No joke.

2. My eyelashes won't curl either. They aren't straight, they have a slight curl, but using a curler is useless. If you want to spend the money, Japonesque makes a heated lash curler, that might help the curl hold in your lashes longer, or else heat the curler with your hair dryer.

Re: I'm looking for 2 things

I agree with using a base. I like Urban Decay (the original in the purple tube) or MAC pant pots.

I also find MAC shadows to be the best at lasting, with Make Up forever, Urban Decay & Lorac as runners up, but it depneds on the shade.

Even with a primer, drug store Shadows don't really work for me.

Re: I'm looking for 2 things

For eye shadow I use Clinque Color Surge eye shadows.

For mascara I use either Sephora Atomic Volume or Clinque High Impact.

Re: I'm looking for 2 things

1- base!. mac makes one. its awesome.. sometimes i use the base and only the base as an eyeshadow cuz its skin tone but looks cool.

2- i use maybeline mascara.sometimes i heat up my eyealash curler with my blowdrer for like 3 seconds. make sure the curler isnt too hot cuz that shyt burnnnnnnns!

and then brush UPWARDS

Re: I'm looking for 2 things

MAC paint pots are awesome and so is the Urban Decay base.

Re: I'm looking for 2 things

I absolutely loooove the maybelline "The Falsies" Volume express... They work wonders!!! everyone always thinks I wear fake eyelashes, lol

Re: I'm looking for 2 things

i just bought DiorShow waterproof mascara- my lashes look soo beautiful- it was worth it

Re: I'm looking for 2 things

Re: I'm looking for 2 things

Base is absolutely what you need: if you have a good one it doesn't matter which eyeshadows you wear. I use Urban Decay and it makes the eye make up last all day!

Don;t know much about mascaras... I have a few that I got as GWP and I am not too happy with them..

Re: I'm looking for 2 things

I add a little bit of concealer on my eyelids before putting on eyeshadow. It helps keep the eyeshadow on longer and doesn't let them get oily.

I love the L'Oreal Voluminous. I have the same problem, lots of lashes but face down. So I apply the mascara then start getting dressed. Once I am done and the mascara has dried I curl. It holds up pretty well.

Re: I'm looking for 2 things

lancome lash booster is a great lash base...you have to put it on the tops and bottoms of you lashes..and roll the brush to curl the lashes when you are putting it on the tops


i love mac eyeshadows and i also really like almay mineral eyeshadow..it lasts all day and looks crease free

Re: I'm looking for 2 things

Another vote for DiorShow mascara. A cheaper option is Cover Girl Last Blast. I love the thick brush (on both)!

Re: I'm looking for 2 things

MAC eyeshadows are great! maybe try using a make up base so you don't get that crease in your lids.

and i use maybelline mascara

Re: I'm looking for 2 things

I think you need an eyeshadow base and the lancome mascaras are the best I have found...

Re: I'm looking for 2 things

Kevin Aucoin (I'm spelling that wrong I think) makes a sick mascara. You can buy it at bendl's

Re: I'm looking for 2 things

Re: I'm looking for 2 things

I use Urban Decay eyeshadow primer. Love it. As for your lashes, definitely try heating curler before using it. It does help.

Re: I'm looking for 2 things

For mascara I use Yves St Laurent. If you want one that's over the counter, Lash Blast is great!

Re: I'm looking for 2 things

I love Mac eyeshadows, but always, always use a eyeshadow base. They stay for me all day.
I have very long lashes that grow down and I like Falsies mascara by Maybelline because it curls them up. But...it is a very dramatic look. But its the only one that worked for me.

Re: I'm looking for 2 things

I also agree with a base...I use Christian Dior Eye Show #622


For day time mascara, I use Covergirl Exact Eyelights


and for more dramatic night time lashes I use Christian Dior DiorShow
