How is everyone in the...

[Ilk]

I keep considering getting Botox on my forehead. Maybe one day. I want to get Lasix first. Been wearing glasses for about 25 years and contacts for about 20 years. Quite tired of them.

Yeah do it, its great, You only have to do it like 3 times a year..

Or less... Depending on how intense the lines are... I'd reccommend looking into that DS...

I'm so boring with the make-up I wear.....

Everyday is pretty much the same:

Wake up, use cucumber facewipe on my face, Bodyshop Hemp facecream, No 7 Radiant Glow foundation (only a little bit needed), L'Oreal Touche Magique under my eyes, concealer if needed, bit of bronzer, then normally green eyeshadow finished off with Lancome Mascara. I've normally got about three Juicy Tubes in my bag, but nearly always forget to put them on.

I change the colour of my eyeshadow depending on what I'm wearing, but as I said I normally wear green / lime green / turquiosey colours. I curl my eyelashes and wear black/brown mascara, but never try eyeliner because I'm crap with it!!

When I get home in the evening, I take my make up off with the cucumber wipes again, then jump in the shower. I wear E45 lip balm to bed, and use a No 7 night cream on my face.

I'm so boring!! My night time look tends to be the same as above, but with the eyeshadow darker than in the day!! One day I'll learn to do something interesting and different with my eyes

Help me my dear Ilk missing chatting to you, I've been so busy moving into the new house, haven't had five minutes on the computer!! Will send you a pm in a little bit

Hey girlie! Well... If you don't wanna spend too much money on makeup, Bourjois is good with eye colours... Try A deep blue eye shadow, Wet the brush and slowly but carefully use it as an eye liner... Practice makes perfect!

Purples, Soft coral tones, Deep dark green would look fab too...
Mac colours are around 9 pounds... Great selections...

Skincare stuff... How are you finding the no7 cream? Whats your skintype?

OMG Ilk! This is amazing!
Do me! Do me!

I have problem skin too, but it's usually kept under control by prescription Differin gel. I just use a gentle cleanser: Johnson & Johnson and clinique's moisturizing gel. I also have really sensitive skin, and a lot of stuff makes me red.....this is better when I'm tan though.

I'm kind of clueless with makeup. I don't like to wear a lot....I'm pretty natural and low maintenance when it comes to makeup.
I use clinique clarifying makeup powder in neutral all over my face.
Covergirl perfect point eyeliner in espresso- line on the upper lids.
Sometimes I use a little shadow on the outer part of the lids- a shimmery pink
Mascara- right now I'm using some shitty almay (hate it) in dark brown
A lil bronzer or pink blush on the cheeks
I hate lipstick, but usually a little gloss in the lips

I have dark brown eyes...short lashes, which I hate
sort of olive skin
blonde hair(if that matters)

Fix me ILK!!!!!

Ok.... Stop the clinique stuff.... I won't go into it, Just useless stuff...

What you need to buy is Dr.Brandt
http://www.drbrandtskincare.com/products.php?ck=3

You need...
Poreless Cleanser and toner

Poreless moisture, Once or twice a week the Pore effect

Great for problem skin, Has tea tree in it too, Smells divine! Just an amazing range... You'll see results in a day with this stuff.. Its also great to reduce redness... Great for blemishes... Oh I love it all...

Heres a little about him...
http://www.drbrandtskincare.com/about-skincare.php

He's also a Doctor too.. He treated people with skin problems and helped people so much, He decided to share his products with everyone...

This product is in a store in London called Spacenk... This shop has various skincare, Makeup products in it... This stuff is no.1 out of all the products..

Damn well it better be! The Poreless moisture really gives a beautiful sheen to the skin, Oil-free yet still hydrating....

Makeup... If you like your foundation, Stick to it, Make sure its oil-free first...
Always use blush, I find that blush really lightens up the face and gives you that happy look...

You've read that I love nars... The lipglosses are so amazing, Soft, Not sticky, Long lasting and a pleasure to take out of your bag...

When you wanna spend some money on makeup, Let me know, I'll give you a list of nars essential products!

Again, Try a little deeper colour. Dark eyes are great, Soft olive green would look fab, Use a nice light base blend a little colour into the outer sockets like how you do...

Pink is nice... But you can do better than that, peachy colours, Soft lilacs,
http://www.narscosmetics.com/acb/stores/1/Single-Eyeshadow-C24_category_1.aspx

Nepal, Faith, Cyprus, Fugi, Himayalas, Heart of glass..

All these and more will look great... Then you can get deeper and stronger once you adapt to it...

Your first priority is the skincare...

To be honest, I think I'm lucky with my skin anyway... it just seems to always stay soft! I don't get many spots at all, and if I do they tend to be on my chin, but this is quite rare. My skin is just in the middle, not oily but not dry, maybe it can be a tiny bit oily in the middle of my forehead but nothing major really. The No 7 one is really light so I quite like that, but I don't really know if it does anything!!

I've got a few Mac ones already - a really shimmery gold one and an emeraldy green one are the ones I tend to use. I've never really tried purple, that might be the next one for me to try I've got really pale blue eyes, but they're quite bright too . . . bright pale blue, if that makes sense. I like green on me, but then I get bored with anything if I wear it too much. I've got dark brown loose curly hair, and I always think bright eyeshadow looks nice on me . . . but who knows haha!

The only bit of my face that bothers me is under my eyes, because I do sometimes feel like there is quite a shadow there. Everyone recommends the Touche Eclat stuff from YSL but I've never tried it, any opinion on this? What would you recommend? Ooh I like having a make up person to talk to hehe!! You're awesome!

 

[badgergrl]

Wow! Thanks so much Ilk!

I'm going to try the stuff you reccomend.
What do you suggest for mascara? I need something that gives me more length and fullness to my lashes, but doesn't clump....and what about the color?

I love people that have this talent!

Don't waste your money on that YSL crap... They're overrated it and it looks dry on the skin, Its obvious thats been applied to the skin too... What you should get is Laura Mercier
http://www.lauramercier.com/products/flawless_face/products/concealers/secret_camouflage/

Amazing stuff... You know the kind of people work on, When its early morning, Or just to freshen up this just makes them lighten up and cover up! Great stuff...

Try the Purple, Nars has one called SANTORINI, Check it out, Spacenk stocks it... Selfridges too... It looks really dark and its really deep... But don't be scared... Wet a liner brush and apply it as a liner, Not too thin or thick, Just enough so you can see the effect...

Try it! Remember its only makeup...

Hope all the house stuff is going well...

I have the one for you...

STAR LASH. Armani cosmetics...

Amazing, Doesn't clog, Adds fullness, Length and the best part of it is that it actually curls the lashes too.... I've been doing this for a long time and never seen a mascara that curls the lashes without the lash curler...

ALso they do glitter mascars too, Great top coat for an occasion or party time...

http://www.giorgioarmanibeauty-usa.com/_us/_en/cosmetics/index_eye_mascara.htm

Star lash is towards the bottom, Glitter mascara is the first one shown...

AMAZING, Thats really all I can say!

I did it

Today I wore a spring green kinda colour on my eyes, and used a darker green as eyeliner. I felt so pretty all day hehe, kept looking in the mirror at my eyes.

Yay go me!

Thank youuuuuuuuuuu

I need some new ideas. I am pretty damn plain Jane all the time.

I would suggest some soft pinks for daytime... Corals, Deep burgundy will really pop your eyes right out, Plus that colour is great for evening too, Build up the colour and blend til its really smoky!

Peacock colour eyeliner... Inside the rim.... Looks amazing.

Keep it simple, You don't need much on your face, Add some blush and a raspberry gloss....

Mascara and add a little shimmer to your cheekbones, If you don't wanna spend too much on highlighters, And some are usually way too glittery looks tacky... Something smooth and silky looking...
