Makeup Recommendations Needed
I need a good smudge proof mascara. For years I have been using Maybelline Great Lash and had no problems. The last couple of months I can't go 2 hours without definite dark smudges below my eyes. Yuck.
I also need a new highlight powder. I have very fair skin (I am always the absolute lightest shade of foundation in any brand) with red/pink undertones. A lot of the highlight shades I have picked up in the drugstore have washed me out or been way too dark and just looked wrong.
I'm also due for a new blush... But because of the pink/red undertones I seem to have a hard time finding one that doesn't make me look like a hot mess.
I have a $50 Sephora in JC Penney gift card that I would like to use, but I also have Macy's, Target, and CVS close by. These are the few things I know I need, but if anyone has any other recommendations for products I don't know I shouldn't be living without, I would love to hear those too!
Re: Makeup Recommendations Needed
I use Maybelline Great Lash too, but noticed the same thing and switched to the waterproof formula. It seems to work be a little more effective staying put and not smudging. As far as blush goes, I like Nars in Orgasm. I have red/pink undertones and this blush goes on lightly and looks very natural.
I will definitely check this out. Thanks! Lately I have been using a bronzer only, with no blush, because otherwise I looked like a clown. :-) Maybe this way will be better. Thanks again!
