Hi, I'm new on this forum and I really need help with my makeup.
First off: Sorry for the long post, I tried to keep it as short as possible:
I'm done using this Loreal mineral thing from target that gives me about 2 hours of coverage...just enough to get out the door.
I'm planning a trip to Ulta this weekend, but I don't really know what I need. I have a Mario Badescu moisturizer, and I'm good with eyeshadows, but that is really about it.
I wouldn't post this if it hadn't been for the final straw I got this morning. After having newly fallen in love with my Helena Rubinstein mascara about 6 months ago, I have by process of elimination had to figure out that I am all of a sudden allergic to it. (Is this possible? ) Process of elimination basically came all the way down to wearing absolutely no makeup for almost a week...
So I tried to switch to the stila mascara that makes little tubes. (Thank goodness I tried the sample first). After about a week of using it, I've found that it's incredibly difficult to get off, and it will hardly come off without taking some eyelashes with it.
So, I've decided my makeup needs a huge overhaul.
I've been reading posts here for a few days, trying to figure out what I need. I have slightly darkish circles under my eyes and I read that smashbox has an undereye concealer that works pretty well.
From what I understand after I apply moisturizer, I can apply primer, then foundation and then finishing powder... did I get this right?
Does finishing powder really work? (Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I have no idea...)
Do you guys have suggestions for these products? I also need a mascara that will give my eyelashes some curl and a lot more volume, any idea?
Sorry for all the questions, any answers are very appreciated.
