How do you make a lady?

I believe this is the video CP was referring to in her original post. If you haven't seen it, watch it.

If I'm going somewhere that merits the application of foundation, I use a brush. I think it works much better than a sponge.

[Ponine]

In my case, I agree. Bare minerals doesnt work well with a sponge.

I've been all about Benefit for the "fixes" lately. They make great stuff that helps with any problem areas. I also like their mascara. Lipstick (which is my staple) is always Mac.

Here is the product I was referring to in my earlier post (I just couldn't remember the name!)

I use this in place of foundation, and I don't think I'll ever go back! I used to use the Bare Escentuals mineral make-up, however, when they were out of my shade, the sales girl at Planet Beauty recommended the Bare Escentuals Rare Minerals Night Treatment. She told me it could be used during the day as well, and from the first application, I was HOOKED. I find the coverage is just wonderful. It applies flawlessly, it's silkier & it's healthy for my skin! It's worth every penny, and I can't imagine using anything else!

I currently want make-up from the Barbie Loves M.A.C. collection! A powder compact that has a pink silhoutte of classic Barbie on it? Pink sparkly lipgloss in the shade "Malibu Barbie"? I'm all over & about that! Now if Hello Kitty would love M.A.C., my life would be complete...

I am, thanks to EH1812, hooked onto the mini Japonesque eyelash curler. I must get one soon! I'd use it even without mascara. It curls perfectly, and not once was there a pinch! I'd get the big professional one at the same price, but I'm not into bulky tools for on-the-go.

Funny thing, Sephora has the same exact thing, but under the Sephora Brand, and it's more pricey than the Japonesque at Nordstrom's.

Blueerica's post totally made me think of mascara. Has anybody here tried Blinc Kiss Me mascara? I'm hooked on the stuff!

Instead of just coating your lashes like normal mascara, it supposedly creates tiny "tubes" that wrap around & adhere to your eyelashes. While they look nothing like "tubes" to me, the stuff is wonderful. As for removal? Just a little bit of water and the "tubes" slide right of of your lashes leaving no smears behind.

Fiber Wig mascara is supposed to be the same exact thing, and I'm dying to try it. I think it gives more volume then Kiss Me's version, if I'm not mistaken.

And I really want Fusion Beauty's airbrush tanning gun. However, I'm not making anybody airbrush my backside so that I may faux glow! Could you imagine that request? "Can you please come over? I'm standing here, nude, and I need you to shoot me on my backside with my glow gun."

I also used to get this from the pill. Execpt mine would darken between my upper lip and nose creating a moustache effect. Not pretty.

That eyelash curler looks interesting. Does it take a bit to figure out how to use it? LOL I've only used the old metal ones and yes, thanks for the reminder of the pinch. That hurts so much!

Ally, the mascaras you describe sound totally cool. Please let us know if you try them, alright?

About the sponge/brush~ you can use a brush on liquid make up? Wow, that is an interesting concept. Seriously like painting your face.

Something that needs to be remembered, since sunscreen is a part of everyones daily program~ don't forget your hands. If you are driving {or maybe if you are just out in the sun a lot} your hands get a lot of sun. I spent many years being mom taxi and I didn't ever think of it. Just did it. Now my hands show it. My sister wears gloves when she drives, those pretty long ones? We tease her but I also give her kudos for remembering to do it every time she drives. Does anyone put sunscreen on their ears? I used to remember to do it for my kids but forgot about myself.
