Make-Up Recommendations

Please recommend your favorite:

  • facial primer
  • eyeshadow primer
  • concealer (dark undereye circles, yuck)
  • is there something that I can use to "bighten" my skin?
  • finishing powder
  • the one product that you can't be without

I'm olive complexion with pretty normal skin. sometimes a bit oily in the t-zone but nothing that some blotting tissues can't control. 

I know that this has been asked a million times before, my apologies! 

Re: Make-Up Recommendations

  • facial primer

    Don't use one currently

    UD Primer Potion

     

    concealer (dark undereye circles, yuck)

    Clinique Advance Concealer

    is there something that I can use to "bighten" my skin?

    Tarte Maracuja Blush n Glow. I use it in Candlelight

    finishing powder

    Makeup FOR EVER HD Microfinish Powder and Bare Escentuals Mineral Veil

    the one product that you can't be without

    UD Naked 1 and 2 eyeshadow Palettes. Also NARS Organism blush

  • Too Faced shadow insurance

    Maybelline age rewind illuminator, for under eye circlez and a face brighter. I set the illuminator under eyes with Bare Minerals well rested powder.

    • Facial primer - MAC Prep + Prime
    • eyeshadow primer - UD or Chanel Long Lasting Concealer
    • concealer (dark undereye circles, yuck) - Chanel Long Lasting Concealer
    • is there something that I can use to "bighten" my skin?  I use Origins Vita Zing moisturizer but got a sample of Chanels Le Blanc Brightening moisturizer and people said it really made my face glow.  The price tag is really hefty for that so not sure I would ever buy it.
    • finishing powder - MAC Prep and Prime Translucent Powder
    • the one product that you can't be without - Lipgloss

    I have the same kind of skin and my oily spots are kept under control with what I use.

    eyeshadow primer

    UD Primer Potion. I like eden (the yellow one)

    concealer (dark undereye circles, yuck)

    is there something that I can use to "brighten" my skin?

    no idea here. 

    finishing powder

    I really like Burberry powder foundation 

    the one product that you can't be without

    UD Naked 1 and 2 eyeshadow palettes

    UD 24/7 eyeliner

  • I just used any fragrance-free silicone serum for a primer, really depends on your skin type.  My one prod I can't be without is a spf 15 gentle daily lotion.  There are lots that work.  My skin has become completely different after incorporating a daily spf into my skin care routine 3 years ago.  My foundation looks better, my lips look better, my undereye area looks better.  Better I say. ;)
