Back home with great MAKEUP tips for WDW

[whogirl'smom]

LOL I was going to ask why the need to put on makeup to go to a park it seems silly to me but eh what do I know I am a guy. I guess because my DW never wears the stuff I am not used to it I would cringe if she did and had to stop to re do it or even just doing it in teh morning before we go that is burning park time and that is a no no in our family.

Ah, you just think she doesn't. We women are wizards at looking beautiful and you men never knowing how we got that way! (insert evil laugh )

Since this has turned into a BE thread, I have been having a problem with mine lately. My skin looks greasy everyday!! I am wondering if it's the kind of moisturizer I use. Any suggestions?

What kind of moisturizer is it? I have oily skin so I have to be careful with that. I use Philosophy's Hope in a Jar. Do you put any kind of finishing powder over your mineral foundation? Or of course, it could be something hormonal.

I didn't want to be the one to say it, but that was exactly what I was thinking!

Ok ladies. Just got my BE samples in the mail. Boy, were they teeny tiny! Anyway, it was really difficult to use the loose powder. Bad day to wear black. It was ALL over me by the time I finished. Plus, what didn't make it on my shirt or face, fell in the sink and made a really big mess that I couldn't cleam up very quickly. Anyway, overall I really liked the makeup--just too messy for me. I haven't tried all the colors I picked but the color I wore today was a little too pink for me. It was hard to order off the internet. I'll have to check out BM at Sephora.

I also thought this was very messy, I'm sure if I could get used to using the different shades and not have to blend and blend I might love this. I am so used to my Merle Norman foundation that goes on clean and smooth. Thanks for the tip though.

All you have to do is read the ingredient list on regular liquid foundation, and you will never put it on your skin again. YUCK!!!!

Mineral makeup can be messy at first, but once you get used to it and learn some little tricks it's way less messy than gloopy foundations. As for blending, that's what I love best about the stuff -- I'm extremely fair normally, but tan really quickly and deeply, so I'm never at the same skin shade twice. Just by blending different tiny amounts of Warmth into my regular foundation shade, I can perfectly match my skintone that day.

If your skin is too "greasy" feeling, try something like Velvet Skin Coat (I swear by that stuff!!) by DHC. It goes on over your moisturizer and under your makeup. Or, try the "Matte" or "Intensive" formulas of Everyday Minerals. My skin in this heat and humidity gets very greasy too, and I love the Intensive formula. Between that and the Finishing Dust, my skin stays matte all day.

BTW, I have that compact, and it's so great for touch-ups. I have Finishing Dust in there. It's a BIG compact, but really super handy.

I need REALLY good cover! I feel "naked" if I dont have something on that provides good,complete cover. How are the mineral foundations in this respect? I am used to the liquid because of this and would be concerned about my face not being "finished"!! Also, how do you know what colors to buy? I do not know the shades that I would need?

I got mine this weekend. I had troubles picking out the right colors from the web, so my foundation colors are too light.

I had the same problem with the mess, but I'm messy with BM too. I found something that helped me with BM though.. when you get a new bottle, only remove half of the white sticker that covers the holes, that way only a little bit of product comes out at a time. On the ones where I didn't have the holes covered, there's a lot of it that just falls out when I open the container.

As you can tell I'm still getting us to using my BM. I work from home, so I don't usually wear makeup everyday (since no one sees me), so I'm working on getting the hang of it. I don't find that I get good coverage with the foundation like I do with liquid foundation, but I have been using the multi-tasking bisque to cover up any blemishes or skin discolorations from acne scars.

Ordered my free samples today....I am hoping they are what I am looking for. Good way to try them though!

I always get my lashes colored before I go to WDW, so I don't have to worry about it smearing, or running when I'm crying with joy

Hey stranger!! How are things??


Ok back to the makeup. I am really irritated with my BE lately. By mid afternoon it starts to seperate and become very greasy!! I don't want to switch back to liquid foundation because it makes me break out. HELP!

I had given up on trying to find make-up for me. I have oily skin, and the brand I used to use went out of business quite a while back. I have tried all different kinds of make-ups, including mineral, with no luck. I don't like the "shiny" finish or feel to my face. I ordered the sample pack and see that they specifically make make-up for oily skin, and there is more color combinations so I don't have to try to make my own color as I go. Plus I noticed they have a finish powder which sounds perfect for me. Thanks again!

Thanks for the tips, ladies- I ordered my sample pack today. Anybody know how this stuff is with dark circles? I don't use an all over foundation anymore, b/c I have found that a good concealer does the trick with my dark circles. I have thin skin under my eyes, and two bright blue veins that travel just over the top of the bone under my eyes- so I look like a circus freak with no make-up.
Just in case you were wondering -to the poster who asked why we wear makeup. Incidentally- if you don't wear makeup, why are your reading a post on make-up tips????
Anyway, my mother swears by this stuff, but I have never tried it because of A) my dark circles, and B) Allergies. I know it's "all natural", but so is poolen, grass, ragweed, etc. I'm allergic to everything- even BENADRYL- so it's scary trying something new. But hey, it's free, so I'll give it a shot. Thanks for the link!

WHAT? Y'all put on makeup to go to the theme parks?

(I don't wear it at home, so I certainly wouldn't wear it in the hot humid Florida weather!)

I wear make-up EVERY DAY including to the parks!!!!!!!!!!!. I am a girly girl! Foundation, concealer, mascara, eyeliner, blush, gloss, ALL OF IT.

I also wear my jewelry....gota accessorize as well!

I'm a huge fan of Everyday Minerals. I custom blend Fair with Fairly Light to get a perfect match. I tap a bit of each onto a paper towel and mix it with the brush. When I'm done, I just fold up the towel and toss it in the trash. It saves a lot of mess.

Thanks for the tips, ladies- I ordered my sample pack today. Anybody know how this stuff is with dark circles?

I trie dthis today and used the basic concealer on my undereyes. I too have dark circles and puffiness due to allergies. I liked it better than ANY concealer I have ever used! Since it was a powder, it was a little messy, but I put the other powder over it and it blended nicely. I don't think I've looked so refreshed in years!

Hope you like it as much as I do!
