Advice, please

Okay, flist, I know some of you must've worn false lashes at some point. I have a pair and I'm going to try them.

Please to give me advice and pointers.

(Also, please recommend me red lipsticks. I need to get one.)

I would suggest a MAC red shade but it's probably best if you go try some on since different shades look totally different on different people. Example, everyone loves MAC Red but it's way too orange on me. My fav MAC reds are Redwood and Hot Tahiti, but they're tamer reds. The vibrant ones are too much for my skin tone. MAC has a lipglass/lustreglass/whatever called Venetian that is a really pretty sheer red. If you want a kick-ass va-va-voom red gloss, definitely go with the Lip Laquer in Fanplastico (it's a candy-apple red, almost metallicy).

I love the Fluidlines!! I don't like using the angle brush so I have a (non-MAC) tiny liner brush instead. But they go on nicely and are waterproof. I have trouble with the Liquilast liners too, the brush that comes with it sucks! The Fluidlines are way easy to work with. Just keep the lid on tight or they'll dry out (and if they happen to dry out, a drop of Visine will make them usable again!).

Okay, Fluidlines are definitely on my list, then. I'm going to ask about the Fanplastico, as well. I'm all for candy apple red.

It sucks because when I went blonde after being red for so long, a lot of my make-up no longer worked, including a lot of my red lipstick. My staple (a Lip Gunk) was discontinued a while ago, which makes me so sad.

Something cool I thought you might be interested in considering our talk of red lips... this morning after work I picked up one of those Cover Girl Outlast Lipstains (they're new and I wanted to check them out). I ended up getting #440 -- "wild berry wink". It is THE perfect strawberry pinup red! It is a bit drying so add a bit of clear gloss before/after (my absolute, all-time favourite die-hard clear gloss that I have bought over & over a hundred times is NYC's strawberry roll-on gloss, seriously, it really is the best and I have tried them ALL). You should definitely try it -- and hey, way cheaper and less snobby than MAC! Here in Canada it was around $8.99 plus tax, though I'm sure over there it's probably half that! It also has a candy smell, which is always great fun. If I didn't look like death after working all night I would take a pic for you, maybe later! Okay, I lied, here ya go (crappy photobooth pic):

That is an awesome red! I'm definitely going to have to pick it up.

I did end up picking up Ruby Woo tonight. The girl who was working at the MAC counter tonight was one of the nicer ones. FluidLine next week.

How awesome is Photobooth?
