So...I came to the realization today I'm OBSESSED with make-up for performance...And I own some really great stuff...So I thought I should deffinatly share my experiances and info!!
I'll toss up new stuff as I get it and experiment.
Lipstick
Cover Girl's Lip Stain-
I FRICKEN LOVE THIS STUFF. lol sorry.
I have issues with texture on my lips...I cant stand pretty much anything on them...even chap stick. I used to use normal lip sticks, and them rub my lips like mad after getting off stage.
Not this stuff!! It's amazing! Not only can I NOT feel it...but it gives GREAT color, and the staying power is REALLY impressive. It tastes sort of like cotton candy, so that's a bonus too.
You can mix colors too, I seriously cant say enough good things about this product.
Eyeliner
Mary Kate & Ashley Liquid Eyeliner-
I'm serious. Stop laughing. Out of the liquid liners that I've tried, this is seriously the best. Currently in my arsonal I have L'oriel Liquid Liner and M&A stuff....And wouldnt you know it? The cheap $3 stuff is WAY better.
It has AWESOME staying power, and never runs once it's dryed.
The only draw back, is it does take a few minutes to dry.
I've tried black, purple, teal, and black sparkle.
Black I've used again and again, the other three colors are new for me. I was playing with the new colors this morning, and put them on the back of my hand. After a day of activity, the purple is still there at nearly 100% pigment. I can still see the teal clearly, although it's faded. I can barely see the black sparkle.
Eye Shadow
I'm way obsessed with L'oriel's HiP line. Both the loose powder and the pressed. Wet down for intense color.
iTouchRoses
Found on etsy.com
Her makeup is AWESOME. Bright, BOLD colors, all natural too. Kinda pricey tho'. I compare the quality of her products to HiP...however if you want a color HiP doesnt offer (like red), look up this girl.
Other Stuff
Almay Oil Free Eye Makeup Remover-
This stuff rocks. SUPER gentle and gets the job done. I've actually gotten this stuff in my eye before...And it didnt burn!
Big a** Bindis-
My favorite supplier of hand-made bindis. Lena is super talented, and I cant say enough good things about her creations. I never perform with out one! Lena will even custom make you a bindi.
Find her on etsy.com
