Are you learning to do makeup? If you don't want to spend a fortune yet, most drugstore brands (Loreal, Revlon, Cover Girl) are good enough to work with. Check out the very cheap Rimmel as well. They make good blushes and eye pencils. During Christmas time, Rimmel blushes went on sale. They were cheap to begin with and after sale... I think I bought three colors (peach, rose pink, peachy-rose) for like, $10? Use a good brush and you'll get good results.
Regarding the Smashbox O-glow blush, I am not sure if the would work if you are to use to to learn makeup because this blush is suppose to "do its own thing". It's supposed to magically read somethiing off your body and determine what color is for you and then itself into that color. I read some people find it great but some find it turns fuchsia on their cheeks...
Eye pencil: Rimmel, Shu, MAC
LIpstick: I find Anna Sui lipstick (as welll as Shu Uemura) a bit sheer to work with.
Lip pencil: MAC
Eyelash curler: Would you be interested in buying a Shu curler off me? The refill pad is included. I bought it 3 weeks ago and have used it very few times, But I find my good old Shiseido suits my eye shape better.
Is the quality of the 88 eyeshadow palette good? Pigmented? Easy to glide on? |
