How can I make my eyeshadow last longer, and not crease?

makeupgal — Sat, 03 Jan 2009 23:32:10 -0800

Are there some easy tricks to keeping your shadow on all day? By the end of the day my eyeshadow seems to have faded a lot, and also creases. Any tips? Maybe i'm not applying it right or something. Thanks!

Has anyone tried Kiss Me mascara from Blinc?

What's your favorite anti-frizz / smoothing product for hair?

stylefreak — Mon, 01 Dec 2008 15:15:05 -0800

I have thick, wavy, semi-frizzy hair, and been trying so many products. I need something that will calm the frizzies, smooth my hair, and last throughout the day. I've tried a few that seem to work at first, but after a couple hours, the effect wears off and the frizz is back. Either that or the products are super heavy and make my hair feel funky and thicker, or like there's a heavy film on it. I just need to smooth the hair, but keep it touch-able! Any suggestions? Thanks!

bold lips

rayweezyy — Sat, 29 Nov 2008 14:16:20 -0800

i love the whole red/pink bold lip look but i always find myself turning to standard clear and nude colored glosses.
i think what my problem is is that i dont know how to pull off bold colored lips.
i have very very very blonde hair,almost white,green eyes, and olive skin
is it even possible for me to pull off red/hot pink lips without looking like southern trash barbie?

What would I tell the stylist?

I'm getting my hair cut pretty soon and I want it to look like the pic. How would I explain to the hair stylist how I want my hair?

How do I get a difinitive answer on my skin tone?

Liz S A — Sat, 15 Nov 2008 05:38:33 -0800

This pic is a bit overexposed but it does show my skin without makeup. I know that I'm pale, but I'm pretty sure that I have yellow undertones rather than pink/blue. Where can I get a bona fide skin tone analysis without spending a ton?

How do I cover really stubborn under eye circles?

Liz S A — Sat, 08 Nov 2008 16:56:09 -0800

I have always had under eye circles, but as I've gotten older, they're harder to cover. I've tried a bunch of foundations and concealers, but they don't blend well with my skin like they used to. Now you can really see that I've got make-up on, and you still see the shadows. I feel like it really ages my look. What to do??

How often should you / do you cut / trim your hair?

babeyqpid — Wed, 05 Nov 2008 15:42:27 -0800

Why fill in the eyebrows?

miss56 — Sun, 02 Nov 2008 15:00:57 -0800

I feel like every beauty blog says, "define your brows!" But I really don't understand why. It doesn't seem to make them look any different?

Where Can I get great flats that aren't too expensive?

helloKING843 — Fri, 31 Oct 2008 07:38:09 -0700

I'm a shoe girl. I always have been and always will be. I have 2 closets full of heels, but I recently started dating a guy who's the same height as me, so I've decided to venture into the world of flats. If anyone knows of a place that has cute, unique flats, PLEASE let me know. Also, I'm trying not to break the bank here...

Do you get facials at a spa or dermatologists office? Do you think facials are worth the money?

lauracarsonmiller — Thu, 30 Oct 2008 07:26:37 -0700

This year I've gotten more facials than ever. I think my skin looks better than it has in years but I don't know if that has to do with the actual facials or the products I'm using at home. Naturally my facial girl tells me facials are beneficial short and long term (as in they are an anti-aging tool) but I recently read in a major magazine that facials are something you should skip andthat they do not help with anti-aging! I know, the world is full of opinions, right? The worst part of the facial is the extractions and I can just use Biore strips at home for that and save a lot of money and pain. I have to admit that I do love the way my skin looks post facial and I always get compliments on my skin in the days after I have been facialized. But I also have to admit that getting it done monthly is not in my budget. What is your opinion/experience with facials??

Should I cut it ?

Liz S A — Thu, 23 Oct 2008 18:49:39 -0700

Yeah, another "should I cut it " question. I have fairly thick, frizzy/curly hair down below my shoulders. As you can see, I have a somewhat low forehead and a widow's peak hairline. Right now, the only way I wear my hair is up in these silly clips, and then sometimes I put it into a pony tail. It's not a "look." What does Sparkleshelf suggest?

Follow up: so my stylist added a bunch of layers all around. Here's the result. We discussed adding bangs but decided to wait a few weeks. Thanks for all the help and feedback!

Halloween Makeup?

ultraserval — Mon, 20 Oct 2008 19:55:01 -0700

So, my friend and I are doing 4 different Halloween costumes this Halloween, and I wanted advice on 3 of them.
French Maid - Just any overall advice for this. =) Or basically, should the eyes or lips be played up more?
Eskimo - Are there any drugstore lipglosses that come out very "frosty"?
Ringmaster - Can anyone give me any advice for this one at ALL? I know we want it very dramatic, but still no ideas.
Thanks for your help!!

I'm looking for a great red lipstick. I can't find one that is a candy apple red, without any pink. Any ideas?

eisenhauer30 — Sat, 11 Oct 2008 06:45:35 -0700

Ack, what should I do with my hair?

DarkenedLove — Wed, 08 Oct 2008 16:13:14 -0700

My hair is a little over mid back length and naturally curly and wavy. (My bangs were straightened in the picture, by the way.) It gets really poofy too. I would just straighten it, but when I do it always makes my hair smell funny and it's not as soft. Why is that? Also, I've been trying to find a new style for years. I have layers, even if they're not all that noticeable.I dye it Auburn, but you can't tell that in the picture. In certain lighting it looks like my normal brown. I like my hair long and I want to grow it longer, but I want to do something else with it. Short cuts don't look good on me, and it seems all the cool looking cuts are for shorter hair. Along with that, I want a different color. Sure, red looks good, but I want something different. I was thinking a crazier color like Manic Panic's Enchanted Forest, but I know that will more than likely require me to bleach my hair, and I'm afraid if I do that it'll forever feel like straw. Any suggestions?

Good foundation brand?

serenek — Mon, 29 Sep 2008 14:40:20 -0700

I'm looking for a good foundation brand. I'm not really looking at specific shades and tones, I just want to know what a

good brand is when my current foundation runs out. I'm using Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse and i like it fine

but i kinda want to shake things up! I just dont want liquid foundation.

How to keep my nail polish & manicures from chipping?

makeupgal — Sun, 07 Sep 2008 20:46:43 -0700

Sadly, I've pretty much given up on painted nails and manicures. Every time I get a manicure or paint my nails myself, I swear literally hours later they're all chipped up and look horrible! I really want to wear the deep dark colors that are so popular right now (like dark plum, black, grays), but I can just picture how bad it will look with chipped up black polish, LOL. What can I do? Or do I simply have to be more careful about my hands? I'm pretty active and super busy so it's hard to pay close attention to my manicure. Any advice? Trying to keep my hand and fingernails looking good. Thanks!

What's the best eye cream for wrinkles around the eyes?

mimi — Fri, 05 Sep 2008 23:53:50 -0700

Ok, the first signs of aging are upon me! I have pretty good skin, but the past couple years starting to get some fine lines under my eyes. I've tried so many eye creams that claim they help the wrinkles, but none of them seem to do anything. Any recommendations for an anti-wrinkle or wrinkle smoothing eye cream that actually WORKS? Please let me know!!

If I have a major zit, should I forego all but the most basic make-up?

Liz S A — Sun, 31 Aug 2008 17:00:23 -0700

When I have big zit, I feel like anything but cover-up and powder just draws attention to my face with a bit zit on it. Right? Wrong?
