Re: NPCER: What are your makeup must haves?
Anything you can achieve through hard work, you could also just buy.
Yes please! I need to restock on foundation and powder. I've been using every last drop procrastinating buying new stuff.

I use Aveeno Baby Daily Moisture right now because my skin is so dry. It works well.
totally worth it, especially if i get a large order. it's 30%!
I am interested.
I think Target carries the Garnier stuff. I've been told that what's available here is not the same as the Asian ones, even though they share the same name. I think Ulta carries Smashbox, and they have one, too.
I ordered mine from Amazon and used this seller (she sells the legit stuff):

That's the one I have - my skin is kind of combination. Gold bottle is better for dry, from my understanding.
You're my new best friend.
question about MAC: My mom bought me foundation (Studio Tech) for my birthday. Do I need a pressed powder to set it?
What is the difference with the pro stuff? Good grief, I seriously feel like I need a P&CE makeup lesson-how to apply and all.
First and foremost, I have a very good skin care routine. I use CeraVe cleanser and moisturizer. I have extremely dry skin and find that in some spots I even have to use Aveeno Eczema lotion for babies.
My absolute make-up must haves:
1. Concealer
2. Mineral powder
3. powder blush
4. mascara
5. Kiehl's lip balm
Studio Tech? That is the powder foundation right? I don't believe so. I use the Studio Sculpt, and it is a creamy foundation. So I set mine.

they have a "pro" line that's higher pigments. i can buy those or any regular products.
here's a website with some pro information: http://www.maccosmetics.com/macpro/cms/proproducts/index.tmpl
you can peruse the regular website and just keep the 30% off in mind when figuring out the prices

i feel bad that i never told you guys about this. and honestly, i can't believe i never did. lol.
this is one of the only perks with my Actor's Equity card.
No worries, it'll give me time to figure out what I want and window shop at the store.
one thing. I DO NOT GET ANY DISCOUNT ON ANY CHARITY ITEMS. like viva glam. those greedy bastards want to give ALL the money to AIDS research. jerks.
and STB, i'm sorry i hijacked your post!
I feel really bad, but can I get in on this too?
It is creamy also. From the website: A tri-system blend of water, emollients and powder. Looks solid, glides on as a soft, creamy emulsion. Provides a natural matte, powder-perfect finish. Smooth to blend, easy to work with: provides a full range of coverage. Water-cooled - refreshes and hydrates skin. Light diffusing: softens lines, creates a fresh, flawless finish. Good on all skin types. Studio Tech is dermatologist tested, ophthalmologist tested, non-acnegenic and safe for contact lens wearers.
Is your pressed powder the same number as your foundation?
Don't apologize! I am glad that you did!!!!
If you're going with creamy, then I'd get a pressed powder. The blot powder is what I use, that way I don't have foundation on top of foundation. Those colors are something like "Light" "Medium" etc. I use Medium Dark in blot powder. It's versatile and can be applied a lot without looking cakey.
Lauren - I have to restock on foundation sooner than the two weeks, however, I have a huge list of other to-get items that I'd love a discount on.

I am going to pick your brain
The original Naked Palette? Are the shimmery colors okay for day? I work in a hospital in a very visible position.
DON'T FEEL BAD!!! at all. it's totally my pleasure.
No prob.
Hella big picture, but you can see the names:
I have the original one. I think the key is balance and application. If you're going to go shimmery, balance it with Virgin or Naked. Today, I am wearing Sidecar and Hustle. It's not overly shimmery because Sidecar is in my crease and under my brow is Naked. So it balances out.
I love the shimmer of Half Baked, it is more metallic than sparkle, if that makes sense. If I'm doing more of a boho, summery look, it's Half Baked on the lid, Dark Horse in the crease. I did that yesterday. I was wearing a pencil skirt and a denim jacket.
You can also do this eye:
I normally do this with a line of black liquid liner and red lips to not over power my face. This looks like Naked, Buck, and Virgin.
I use Hustle for cooler smokey eye tones, and Dark Horse for warmer. I also use Dark Horse over pencil liner on my lower lid to make it a bit smudgier.
I have pictures on me too, at least a few if you want to see.

Can a lurker get in on the discount?
I need someone to help me pick brushes!
217 and 239 and my eyeshadow musts.
