Dearest guest19 and ladies,

In general powder foundation is more for oily skintypes which need mattifying throughout the day. I don't recommend it for combination skin since it will only increase oil production.

Liquid foundation suits a variety of skintypes depending on formulation - it can be water or silicone based, and some contain oils which isn't a good idea for oily skin. It's the most versatile among the three most common formulations (excluding spray foundations which is liquid anyways).

Cream foundations also suit a variety of skintypes, again depending on the base and formuation. It may be less suitable for oilier skintypes, but generally provides more coverage. Some liquid foundations tend more towards the creamy side.

Coverage is very variable, again depending on formulation. The sheerest would probably be a liquid as you can mix moisturiser to thin it out further. Powder can achieve full coverage, especially for mineral foundation, but it can also get cakey quite easily since you can't blend as well as liquid or cream.

Cream would be the easiest to manipulate for full coverage, and may double as a concealer when you run out. But not recommended. It's usually applied with a sponge or fingers, as opposed to liquid which can also be applied with a foundation brush for sheerer coverage.

make up varies from skin definition. different skin needs different technique. oily skin need mattifying products to reduce shine if u dont apply and u choosed the wrong tone foundation, ur face will look horrible. patches everywhere...especially if u've use concealers....

nowadays girls usually go:
.liquid foundation, powder foundation, concealer if needed (do use the right tone)
.eye brow liner (most important to those who have thin eyebrow unless u wanna do eyebrow tatoo at unisense)
.mascara (i've seen many times my gf do this, it still looks very painful)-those with short eye lashes. no worries... get urself lenghtening mascara. those scared kena rain become panda bear... get waterproof mascara
.blusher for a rosy cheek
.lipstick for formal outing but normally...lipgloss. do note certain brand lip gloss can double up as a blusher. and if u wan shimmering lips and do not have shimmering lipgloss, shimmering eyeshadow can act as a shimmering tool...fourth finger dab and apply on lips after lipgloss

spray a dash of face mist and off u go....

those who have good looking skin,defined eyebrow and home made rosy cheeks.... apply mascara and lipgloss = perfect ade....

just my visualisation of girls only.... dont flame me if wrong k ladies....

In order to avoid "patches", always use a make-up base before you put on your foundation. I find this very important and should be used whenever we use make-up. It not only gives you a smooth glossy finish, but it also protects your skin.

Biotherm offers a range, depending on your skin type.

So blusher should put after foundation then only loose powder right?
Is it okay to put blusher after the liquid foundation? Will the blusher 'drop' easily ?

my style of makeup, all these complete within 10 minutes or less...

Apply foundation ( i used maybelline stay white mousse ) all over the face area. Next, use the pink maybelline dream mousse blush ( apply with finger on the cheeks and slowly rub them off, it looks more natural this way.
Then apply the Maybelline 2 way foundation ( powdery type with sponge ) to blend up those area that looks kind of wet.

Next, i use the small brush to brush at the brown eyeliner pen, so that the browns sticks on the brush, and then lightly brush my eyebrow.
This tips was taught by an ex colleague of mine , so that the eyebrow looks more natural.

Next comes the eyeshadow part. Apply the lighter tone ( whatever tones you decide for that day to match your or complement your dressings ) on the bigger patch of the eyelids.
Apply medium tone nearer to the eyelids area , and lastly a darker tone ( sometimes dark navy sometimes dark brown ) closer to the lid area.

Then lipstick, and apply lips gloss.

done!

the process i hate most is the eyeliner part... =.= pencil eyeliner alwiz cause it to smudge especially after several hours.... causing my eyes to look like panda...now i'm using liquid eyeliner... its a lot better though it's kinda hard to draw the line...

i guess u might have too much loose powder on your face.
actually a good foundation is very impt. for me i've been using stila. and its not heavy compared to loreal or maybeline. and i use loose powder on as well.
it looks thin and natural. =)

Hi girls, is there any good tutorial/guide on how to apply eyeliners/mascara?

Hey Christina! That's easy.

If you're good with liquid liner, there are loads of brands nowadays that produces waterproof liquid liner that absolutely will NOT come off until you take it off.
Otherwise, put liner and mascara on top lids and lashes ONLY to avoid the racoon eyed look.

Btw, Clinique has pretty good ones, that doesn't smudge a lot.
Shiseido is also good but their eyeliners can be a bit pricey for most of us.
Wet n' Wild has OK smudge-proof eyeliners.

It depends if you wanna use pencil, liquid, or the roll-up kind (the roll-up kind can come in handy for busy women).

The higher you go in price range, doesn't always mean it'll be the best kind.
Go to the beauty counters and try some out.

If all else fails, M.A.C. is always nice to fall back on, and their colors are really rich and intense.
And just so you know, liquid eyeliner is the best for smudge proof, once it dries!

The most challenges part me have to the eyeliner part i m not sure whether i should draw up or just stop when it reach the ends of the eyelids

helo all..
plz help me..
i don't know how to make up..
i want to learn about it..
is there any one here could teach me??

This is how i apply mascara. Mind you, my lashes are quite short, but this technique definitely works for me!

1. Curl your lashes. Press the curler for about 5-10 seconds
2. Look DOWN on a mirror
3. Hold the mascara brush horizontally, starting form the base of your lash, wiggle or 'zigzag' the wand, combing thru ur lashes.
4. You can add another coat if you want to.
5. Optional: If u got time, u can comb ur eyelashes with a lash comb, to separate each eyelash bcoz clumping could happen.

I just brought a face make up set from sasa...
as i still learning so i start off wit face 1st...
they give me:
1. KATE make up base UV
2. Maybelline Clear Smooth Aqua/ gel foundation
3. SaSa Cosmetics loose powder
4. Cyber Colors Blush Wear...

The agent ask me apply follow those steps...
is it correct or do i left out anything....

My major prob is.. When i apply mascara on my lashes, don't know why it will start to clump even tho i try applying zig-zag way..
And one more thing is i don't know which specific eyeliner too buy because i've combi skin and even my eyelid is oily. I cant trial and error because my cash is limited.

be natural for the best look..

Agreed!! Thanks for the tips!!! How about a thread on what colour to use? I've started to increase my makeup use. I use mascara and blusher everyday, and either foundation and powder or foundation or powder alone. Mainly to reduce the greasiness in my face so that my mascara doesn't run I want to use eyeliner, but because my eyes are small, i'm worried that it would be overpowered by too many makeup items

thanks again for the good post!!
