Good blusher for pale skins, despite their horrendous foundation, is Laura Mercier Orange Blossom. Obv only those slightly yellow/peaches and cream, not pinky blue types...

SuSylvester · 16/05/2010 22:12

Eager. Someone saidtop shop or pixi ones. Best mascara is Dior show IMO

will try that dermalogica one Su.

yy, minc nails thats it - looks ok but dont know if they will look chavtastic on!

Also Bobbi Brown cream eyeshadow is fantastic, I've got bronze and love it.

Dior show is best mascara, been using it a couple of years and won't use any other now.

Re: chubby eyeshadow pencils

Body Shop used to do FAB chubby eyeshadow pencils which were powder, NOT cream. You could use on brows as well. Then they stopped doing them (although haven't been in there for ages) - does anyone else do them? They were great and I miss them...

Diorshow - do they do a waterproof version, is that as good/better? Usually find non w'proof mascara runs a bit.

Thanks

noddyholder · 17/05/2010 09:48

Navy looks great most of the dark colours do.I am after brown so will look today.

MayorNaze · 17/05/2010 10:43

hmm...i am thinking of plum eye liner...but not in a boy george kind of way...more in a nice subtle sophis way...am brunette with brown eyes...oui?non?

noddyholder · 17/05/2010 10:45

Plum with brown or green eyes would look great

MayorNaze · 17/05/2010 10:48

really? am flisking through the avon catalogue and they look suspicously lip liner esque...can only find ones that are more purple than plum in shops...

SuSylvester · 17/05/2010 11:23

For Stila fans:

it's cheap

Am assuming site is bona fide.

MrsMeow · 17/05/2010 11:45

Those asking about mascara, I have spent millions on trying to find the best one, and I swear by Max Factor 2000 calorie one

It makes your lashes look really thick & long, but doesn't smudge or flake and is easy to remove. I think it's the only mascara that I've bought more than one of!

Can anyone recommend a really nice dark grey eyeshadow please? I want something that stays put, with no sparkly bits in it.

Or any that will bring out my hazel eyes? Grey makes my eyes look more green, but what shades would make them look brown?

SuSylvester · 17/05/2010 12:02

hmm cnat help you with wanting eyes to look more brown - will think on.
plain dark greys - will go and (have a shower) and look at mine.

OP posts:
MrsMeow · 17/05/2010 12:34

Thanks Su...I'm aiming for the smokey eyes look! But not too heavy for day time, if you see what I mean?

I'm wondering if a greeny (maybe olive?) colour eyeshadow would bring out the brown.
