I'm in need of new makeup and have a credit for Macys and was thinking of getting stuff there. I usually use stuff you can get in CVS. I'm open to any suggestions

I'm a big fan of bare minerals, but I have to say that the minerals by Physicians Formula are definitely comparable in quality!

I do wear less in the summer when I have a tan - usually just bronzer, mascara and lip gloss.
But my color is fading fast so I have to start wearing more again.
I like to think that I don't LOOK like I'm wearing that much make up!

I don't get hot from all of it - it honestly doesn't feel like a lot once it's on. Or maybe I'm used to it??

yeah sorry i thought maybe what i said before mightve come out wrong, i was just curious bc i get sooo hott with it on and i wonder, is it just me?

LOL nothing came out the wrong way, I totally get what you're asking.
In the dead summer sometimes I feel like I'm sweating through make up, which is why I don't wear it... my best friend also gets hot easily and therefore can't wear as much make up as me. Though I finally convinced her to get the Chanel bronzer and mascara, and this one pinkish Lorac eye shadow - total low maintenance, but makes a huge difference!

I use Mac liquid concealer and Bare Escentuals bronzer. I also use Baked Bronzer, Benefit eyebrow kit, and Almay lipsticks. My make-up regimen is all over the place. :)
Benefit also makes this awesome cheek highlighter blush. I use that when I go out.

you just reminded me - i have Benefit rush hour and the white eye pencil - i use these sometimes if i go out right after work, it's the only makeup i bring to and from work.

For liquid foundation DONT USE CHANNEL, its turned green on me, YES GREEN!!!! and I got it from Macys EWWWW.

Yves St Laurant foundation is really great
YSL blush is great
For Eye color and lip color I use Victorias Secret makeup, they have such pretty colors

OMG what do you mean it turned green? LIke in the bottle??
I just started using one of their new liquid foundations and so far so good... it goes on lightly, doesn't have a weird smell... hmmm this makes me nervous. Before I got this stuff I had been using Bare Minerals for over a year and really love it. Just wanted to switch things up a bit.

I also just got NARS blush - and I really like it - it goes on nicely, it has some shimmer but not glittery (I hate that with some products). Also use with Chanel bronzer which I absolutely LOVE! I highly recommend it to anyone.

was it ******?

I only use Chanel, for skincare and makeup
i have been using it since highschool, so about 10 years now

its not too strong for your face? i know alot of young ppl say how it is...I love their blush and use that but i had such a horrible experience years ago with a mask of theirs i used, it messed up my skin for close to a year, well not my whole face but one area turned red and sore and stayed like that. I was told bc its too harsh for my skin...the lipsticks are great too but i stopped wearing lipstick but theyhad the best...also they have this concealer kit that is great

I do not have sensitive skin at all. I use their facewash, moisturizer with spf15 and its the heavier cream, not the lotion, to prevent against wrinkles, i use their eyecream.
I use their liquid foundation, powder, blush, 2 types of concealer, mascara, eyeshadows, i have almost every single one of their lipglosses, and a ton of lipsticks and liners. eyeliners, lip liners, and everything in between.
i love their perfumes as well. some are a little to strong for me though.

My friend used to use chanel, and now she uses dr. haushka from whole foods. seems to work better for her.

Yeah i have very sensitive skin so i just took it as that but alot of girls i know had said the same thing. You should've told me i would've mailed you all my chanel stuff, i think i finally gave it away, i even had boxes of perfume, cleansers, spf cream and a bunch of other things. Actually i think i threw them out bc i had them for so long.

What kind of makeup are you looking for?

Eye make up and lip colour.

MAC has the best eyeshadows!
Their colors are soooo vibrant and stay true all day!

As for lipsticks...I usually only wear lipstick if I'm going out...I use Estee Lauder lipsticks..they are coming out with a new line...right now the selection kind of suxs...they should be out in October.

Happy shopping!

Re: What brand of makeup do you use?

I don't wear any foundation or powder...am I a wierdo? I do wear Benefit's Hula Bronzer and MAC or Stilla eyeshadow every day, with mascara of course. I think I own EVERY single color of MACs eyeshadow!!! I LOVE doing my eyes up or doing someone else's eyes. I never go too crazy for work tho!
