QUOTE(Gigi @ Oct 26 2008, 12:45 AM)  Oh I also used MAC Mineralize blush in Nuance if that's what you meant by what I used on my face, Irene. no i meant the Skinfinish Natural thing you were talking about :-p i'll look into that! i think i steered away from powder cause it comes off really easily (okay nasty example, but if i blew my nose, the powder will come off on the kleenex) so then i used liquid cause it blended better... but i walked past a MAC store today and couldn't stop staring at all the lovely cosmetics! i wanted to get an eyeliner with my shadows, but i couldnt decide on which type/shade. i've narrowed the shades down to prunella (dark purplish) & teddy (brownish). any recommendations on the type of eyeliner? i didn't get the difference between the kohl and whatnot. |

I can't, for the life of me, use liquid foundation unless I've exfoliated my skin like twice. And vigorously. I have these patches on my cheeks (they're not even dry patches, I have NO IDEA what they are), and they are greatly accentuated by liquid foundation. I have no idea why this happens. So I'm pretty much limited to powder. Plus I have oily skin, so it all works out.
I can't really recommend you eyeliner because I hardly use it (smudges like a mofo on me). So I'm not even well-informed about eyeliner, because I don't care about it. I've heard Urban Decay's 24/7 liners are AWESOME though, apparently they are very long-lasting and glide on smoothly. It depends on what you'd like your eyeliner to do... Between the two I'd get Teddy since you would get more use out of it, especially if you don't have any eyeliner to begin with. |

liquid foundation works on me. but i use both. :X
and I prefer to buy liquid liners because pencil does not stay on me (other than MAC's dualedge liner). You should try MAC's liquidlast liner, because that shit works really well. |

I have MAC Fluidline too. I think gel liners, in general, are much easier to use than liquid liner, and are quite long-lasting.

^ i think i'm gonna try that, cause i need like a powder to set in the liquid creme. otherwise my face looks just a tad shiny.
liquid liners are too harsh on me (tho they do stay very well!). and i don't know, it just doesn't look good... probably cause i've only used a clinique creme liner and a crappy covergirl one. the creme liner smudges like crazy, as do most eyeliners for me. i ALWAYS get a faint eyeliner mark on my crease from blinking and it looks retarded. i've been trying to find a eyeliner that battles this annoying problem (currently i use lancome's le stylo waterproof in prune, but it ran out. it works the best so far) but i'm starting to think that it's just my stupid eyes  yes, i have tried setting the eyeliner by dabbing eyeshadow on it after application - it doesn't work.

I get the liner mark on my crease too, but only if I draw my liner too thick. Your crease could be different from mine though. If you have a pretty thin crease, maybe try doing your liner thicker, up to the point where any creasing would just blend into the actual liner...if that made sense.
The only way eyeliner doesn't crease is if I use a primer underneath (Urban Decay Primer Potion), and setting it with eyeshadow on top. Although lately I've just been using eyeshadow straight-up as a liner. If it REALLY REALLY bothers you, try using an eyeliner sealant like Benefit's Shelaq. ------------------------------ http://www.maccosmetics.com/templates/prod...CT_ID=PROD14142 ^ I just got this and I LOVE IT!!! |

It took me forever to figure out how much eyeliner was enough, lol. I tend to overuse.
 and since Sandy doesn't get my eye "defect"... this is the only picture where you can sorta see it. People say they don't notice it until I point it out, but that's probably because I have side-bangs to cover that shit up. My left eye (to the right) is single-lidded while my right eye is double. -_-. makes me super self-conscious. |

^ I now understand what you mean about being self-conscious. My allergies have now made my right eye have hundreds of folds (or no folds at all on some days) while my left one looks totally normal.

I try very hard not to rub them and I take a Reactine pill every morning. And I don't use ice packs because usually when my eye feels like shit and has a bunch of folds, it also gets kinda pink-eye-ish, so I have to used boiled water to sooth it. Thus making it puffier.

EVEN THIS STRANGER GIRL TELLS YOU NOT TO RUB YOUR EYES! LISTEN TO THE WISE GIRL! XD Melissa, that happens to me a lot. Not to your extent, but sometimes I get like 3 folds in one eye and one reeeeeeally undetectable one in the other. Pisses me off. You could probably make your eyes look more even by making your eyeliner thicker on the single-lidded side, up to the point where your eyeliner reaches on your double-lidded side if that made any sense. It'll create the illusion of more even eyes I suppose. Or eyelid tape but I hate that shit. Anyway your "defect" (lol...no) is unique. :D |

why don't you put wet drops in? or take a hot shower?
then use the ice packs! =] seriously, ice packs does wonders. i use it on/off for like 20 minutes in the morning and my mound-of-fat of an eyelid heals instantly! |

I've tried using eye drops, but they just screw up my eye even more. And I can't take hot showers because my skin is very sensitive to it. Yes, my health is super f**ked up.
Anyway, enough about my eyes. LOL |

Most people don't even know what I'm talking about when I describe my "defect" so I guess that's a good thing, right? I'm getting surgery on that eye as soon as I'm 21. |
