(unless you are cool that is)

Antimatter

i want some pretty lipstick and nail polish something fierce

mensch-o-matic

i hate trying to buy makeup online because every ad or picture you ever see is a photoshopped white lady

and i hate buying in brink and mortars because its almost always more expensive and again made for and modeled by white ladies

mensch-o-matic

its not even 'cism that annoys me i just want an idea of how i would look in that color!!!

Muse Among Men

Brick and mortar is the only way to test foundations and blushes accurately. It is well worth the money, because you could waste money on cheaper makeup at places with crappy return policies.

mensch-o-matic

to be fair i also hate b&m because the displays make it that much harder not to buy all the everything

fightinfilipino

you forgot PHOTOSHOP

do what I do

walk up to a counter, ask for a foundation matching consultation (MAC does it for free and so do most other good counters)

they'll match you to the products that suit your color and skintype

then say that you want to wear it out to see how it wears and looks in natural light and leave the counter

then go home and buy it online

Vixx

also this is an amazing tool that I use since I shop online so much

I do already know my MAC number (NC37-40 wha whaaaat), so you will have to know that too, but yeah check it out

yes this too

plus some sales assistants are just so nice and you feel bad walking away after they've just been so helpful

so sometimes if an SA has been particularly good I will just buy from the store, otherwise I have no qualms about buying online

i am not as devious as you are!

but i am also not as pretty, hrmmmm

Muse Among Men

I am using Revlon Colorstay liquid foundation right now and it works but I dont really like the finish anymore, it doesn't suit this climate. It makes my skin look too matte and dull. When I get back home in a few weeks I am getting new foundation. Cream or liquid <$40, buildable light to medium coverage (or med-full coverage I can reliably thin out).

Aww I was hoping for a general girl thread because oh my god my quest to find cute bright tights that fit me this year has been totally awful. Does anybody have a problem with nail polish not even making it a day before getting chips in it? I swear if I manage to make it more than 6 hours without a chip I consider it a grade A nail polish, even with top/bottom coat and a nicer polish.

Umaro

I am so glad that I can just roll out of bed and splash some water at my body and be ready to present myself to the world.

My best advice for this is that when you are applying the second coat of color and the top coat, make sure you drag the brush slowly up your nail and then pull the color over the tip.

Also make sure you buff your nails a but before applying the base coat or polish because then it will help everything apply more smoothly.

Best top coat is Seche Vite Fast Dry top coat. I get fewer chips with it than I do any other top coat.

Vixx

Also look into a nail strengthener. OPI's start-to-finish is what I use now and it totally makes a difference.

I know that tayto are amazing and it's a damn shame that you can't seem to get smoky bacon outside of multipacks.

cabsy

I will definitely try that top coat, thanks! Generally I'm not too bothered by the fact that I can't keep nail polish on worth a damn but sometimes for dates or vacations it'd be nice to have it last more than the car ride to get somewhere.

This is me circa April 2011. It's not very hard to figure out once you find some good online resources.

Google the following:
Makeup Geek
Lisa Eldridge
Makeup Alley

Those should get you started, and you can of course ask questions here!

Also I write a casual blog about my foray into the world of makeup: http://vivixenne.tumblr.com

I am such a slut for Body Shop. Their hemp hand and foot creams are awesome, as is their shaving cream and moisturiser. I use the ginger shampoo too, it makes my hair smell all purdy.

Gatsby

I actually got some Gatsby hair gel recently and holy shit it works perfectly with my hair and smells reeeeaaal nice.
