Hi everyone, I thought it might be a good time to review some good makeup techniques, some that I use and some maybe you use and could share with us. I think I may of posted this link before, but what the heck, it's worth another go.
Two of the secrets that are in this link I do not use, one is a cream blush, never could get it to do what I wanted, and a color corrector as they state in the article. I use a foundation that is a blend to match my skin under tones, something we all should know what that color is to get a good foundation finish. My skin is ruddy, so my foundations are matched to get the best out come. To cover blemishes and such, I use Bisque from Bare Minerals to cover those pesky little spots. And PLEASE EXFOLIATE with which ever product out there you may find works best. We need a clean and smooth canvass to start off with, so the dead skin cells do not interfere with the out come of the foundation. I use PROX from Olay, which is applied with there rotary applicator. I do use something else with this and it works very will for me, but for now I will keep it a secret....smile....really the reason is many will think it bazaar an to simple, but it works for me and also reduces brown skin damage from the sun, we all have it in our bathroom...smile again...is this a baited statement?
Well check out the link.....Tammy

Hi Pops,
Sounds like we have a lot in common with eye makeup. Gosh that is the single most important part of the make over, our eyes are the eyes of the world as someone once said. Eyes are one the of first thing people focus on.
I to like a very intense eye look, I use a liquid liner along the lash line where my false lashes attach, hides them so well. The inside on the eye line, I use a Sephora liner that is water proof, then I go over that with either a eye shadow from smash box or urban decay, with a wet brush, to give a more intense look. This has been my best solution to keep the liner to stay there for the entire night, and yes being careful not to get things into the eye, but some always finds it's way there. My eye look all depends on what type of an event that I am attending.
If you have any trick to keep liner to stay with out washing out of the tear line, it would be much appreciated.
Another thing I do for my eyes is to wing them out from the corners to give a more seductive, feminine look, then I smoke out the rest of the eye. Then I do a VERY LIGHT dusting of light blue shadow over the smokey look to give a very nice highlight, add a very light shadow to the brow bone area and I must add ( I know you know this Pops ) but BLEND BLEND is a must.
Most people will say that is to much work, yes it is but as you know when your done, you have a definite wow effect. Even though I am an older person, I do a very over the top look. And why not after all the cosmetic surgery I have had, I want to make the best of it...LOL...just gotta love it.
I am chuckling now, your right, it does take a lot of writing to describe all this....
Let me know if you have a good product that stay's put for the inner lash line....

Thanks Pops, I am going to take a look at your site a little later in the evening. I was just going to do a post just on exfoliating,which is so important for makeup to look it's best. But it sounds like you will have it covered on your site. I took a look at your site earlier in the week, and it looks very informative.
Yes, I do know about Urban Decay's glitters, but this last pot of shadow seems to be kinder, softer, and seems to work very well in conjunction with the Sephora water proof pencil, at least it seemed to hold up well last Sat nite. I like to try some various combinations for problems that might be a good solution. But I will keep this new procedure posted.
I definitely will take a look a your Ten Image pencil. I am really into makeup but have never heard of Sleek, so I will check this out. I am always up for something different, ....as an older lady, I look at life as an adventure..Smile..... I do not believe that you MUST look your age....yuck.... if done right, it can be done with class...well OK.... the right surgeon helps.
I find using L'Oreal lineur Intense liner with the brush is perfect for hiding the line of the false eye lash. And I am going to try the same brand with a felt tip for doing the corners, links below. Some may think that this is to much black, but if done right and blended with some lighter shades of shadow to soften the lines it is a very seductive night out on the town look. If anyone's interested, they can look in my profile picture folders and see that it is very subtle, not scary.
Now there are some events that I do get involved with that I go a tad darker, but then the events are dark....hummm makes one wonder does it not...LOL. Well, enough babble Huggs...Tammy
