QUOTE(cyb3r0ptik @ Aug 17 2007, 01:38 PM)  yeah, it makes my face feel much more smooth than regular liquid foundation. and i feel that it covers those imperfections a LOT better. i haven't heard of perspective, but clinique does the same thing at their cosmetic counters at our local mall. 22.50 for a standard foundation sized bottle. Plus i feel like mousse foundation isn't as icky or oily. it goes on REALLY light. yeah, prescriptive was the counter right next to Clinique at the mall, but i guess its more expensive since the bottle is $32 ahhhh |

QUOTE(ventriloquist @ Aug 17 2007, 11:48 PM) ...i know that...?  All of my cosmetics are high-end except for my lip makeup. I've been using drugstore lipgloss and lipbalm for forever. Maybe I'll take advantage of B2M soon and try out their lipsticks. :D Like someone already said on the first page, the pigmentation way better and stays o longer. I don't like having to touch up much and using a whole lot of product because I make a big mess when I apply my makeup. |

Since the only makeup I wear is mascara, I opt for high end. I've tried like all the drugstore mascaras out there, and they're either too flaky or too clumpy or don't lengthen or curl or thicken as well as the department store brands I've tried.

I used MAC for a few years and then I switched to Laura Mercier.
I like MAC for the shadows and lip colors. I like Laura Mercier for the concealer and base. I have gone all the way to Laura Mercier now, for no reason in particular. The problem I have with MAC and Laura Mercier is that they don't have oil free base and concealer. I know Laura Mercier doesn't, I actually don't remember if MAC does or not. But I have a problem with both of them because my face is so darn oily that nothing can cover my shininess. It stinks! Even drugstore brands. So, I guess I don't have a preference of high end or drugstore. I guess I'm saying I need help. If you know of a makeup brand that doesn't help you be shiny or really oily, tell me! I'm thinking about trying Bobbi Brown soon. Thanks girls! Michelle :-) |

Michelle :-) The matte mousse foundation cyb3r0ptik and I was discussing earlier isn't that oily. It goes on REALLY light and it's a huge difference from the liquid base foundation you find anywhere else. |
