Make-up!

[devilgrrl]

Since my wedding is quickly approaching, it's occured to me that I need to obtain and learn to use make effectively. I'm asking you, O Mighty FList, what would you recommend: brands, products, tips, pictures, and website. I will be eternally greatful. I'm going for kind of a 40s/glam look, if that helps.

I am very grateful in advance.

For department store makeup I highly recomend checking out Clinique and I know they will give you a free makeover. The only thing that I don't like from them is their masacara because it doesn't stay on very well at all. I also really like Mary Kay. They have great mascara, lip gloss, lip stick, and my very favorite product is oil mattifier. You put it on the oily areas of your face before putting on your makeup and let it dry and your face will be shine free for many hours. For my wedding I wore Covergirl makeup because it was cheap and I knew the colors worked on me. I felt like I was wearing a ton of makeup (because I never wear foundation), but it looked good in the pictures.

I love Clinique's toner/face wash stuff. Also good to know about the mattifier. I used to use Jane cosmetics's one, but they quit making it for some ungodly reason. That was seriously the best stuff ever.

You might also want to ask Princessbunny and see if she will do a virtual makeover for you. She did one for me a few months ago and I love everything she picked for me, which is amazing since all she had to go on was one picture that I emailed her.
Also, with the Mary Kay stuff it is much cheaper to buy off of Ebay and you don't have to deal with an overbearing Mary Kay lady.

I think one of Dawn's cousins does Mary Kay, too. I think I may also ask princessbunny about a makeover, as well.
