Make-up tips, please?!?

I usually use maybelline the colossal volum' express mascara, and I also use their grey eyeshadow. Most of my makeup products I use are maybelline, but I want to try out other brands. Is covergirl lash blast good? I use black and love it because it looks natural, and I've tried brown but wasn't too crazy about it...So what colors can I try other than black and brown, that'll be fun to try, if any? And can you give me make up advice by looking at my photos?

Go into a little better store such as Macys or Dillards, they have as many as a dozen cosmetics counters and at many they will make you up and many of them know what they are doing. Do one a week. I like Origins. I used Clinique before they loaded it with parabens (they have taken them out again), if you can find it, ilove Lancaster.

This could be a great way to try differnt looks and products.

What about MAC, are they good?

I know people who like it but at least a year ago they were still loaded with parabens and perfumes. I can't tollerate any of that.

MAC is like stage makeup, its very heavy and thick. They have pretty colors but its hard on your skin. I like Origins and Benefit, much lighter, great colors and give you a more natural look. By the way you are beautiful and I am sure you only need a light touch of makeup just to brighten up!

My sister said clinique was pretty good, I may try it...I know perstriptives was good, but there isn't one here in Mississippi anymore

Natural makeup would look nice on you. A brown eyeshadow and a very slim slick of black eyeliner across your upper eyelashes and mascara. A mineral powder would be good at evening your skin tone out, and isn't as heavy as foundation. Maybe a touch of blusher.

Thanks, I was thinking about trying a mineral powder, like bare minerals because my skin is acne prone and I really need to reduce my break outs. But thanks again! I'll try this.
