Concealer before or after foundation? I actually went and tried the Clay de Peau concealer your recommended and I kind of hate you because it IS the most perfect concealer I have ever, ever found, so now I am hooked.

Gotta say, I'm not really a make-up-y person either, but I have loved reading all this. I never really read about makeup/beauty in regular publications because I know the products will likely not be right for me so its great to read about stuff actually tried on Indians! I won't be buying lots of foundation anytime soon...but I DO think I am going to splurge on that ysl touche eclat, after reading this review and then reading more online. Seems perfect for low-maintenance, high-impact!<BR/><BR/>Does this mean there is no comic today? Bummer!! Not even a comic of the Brown Girls in makeup??

Learning about makeup and ...Oh please "anonymous"! Learning about makeup and beauty is just like learning any other skill. Your proclaimed sincerity aside, it is obvious you are choosing to spend YOUR valuable time judging people you don't even know who happen to suffer the intolerable sin of wearing more makeup than you! <BR/><BR/>Okay, done! <BR/><BR/>I have loved Devi Week of Beauty and hope you make it a regular feature. As a mom of two, I don't have the sort of time I used to have to peruse department stores for new products or read all the fashion magazines, but I still get that thrill of excitement over the promise of new makeup. And I agree with the other posters, in-depth tips on application would be really helpful.<BR/><BR/>My favorite foundation is Chanel. So I can commiserate with that feeling of "ouch, I am a snob". But it is literally my only beauty indulgence and I think it's texture is perfect (plus it has SPF!). My tip, though, is to find a less expensive foundation for everyday and make it into a "tinted moisturizer" like the Devis suggested, by mixing it with your moisturizer. I use Revlon Colorstay.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3461772347487902769.post-33087069619755342622008-11-20T08:47:00.000-08:002008-11-20T08:47:00.000-08:00Totally agree Nali--I think that I would like to "...Totally agree Nali--I think that I would like to "splurge" on certain cosmetics but only if I am properly armed with the right application techniques. DwB--any chance you are thinking of posting tutorial videos??<BR/><BR/>First poster: Not sure if you are trying to make us feel bad for spending time on superficial pursuits but giving you the benefit of the doubt, I will let you know that I spend about 35=40 minutes every morning getting ready (from into the shower to out the door). Not really sure how this compares to others? But I agree with "Anu," much of my makeup application (like, for nights out) is for fun. It IS fun to try new looks (and it's cheaper than buying new looks in clothes!)<BR/><BR/>I've been using MAC studio fix for years but I recently heard that it has an ingredient that makes you more susceptible to break outs? Any truth to this Devis? Also am wondering if a liquid would be more flattering than the powder.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3461772347487902769.post-46420287963912018562008-11-20T08:15:00.000-08:002008-11-20T08:15:00.000-08:00MAC studio fix foundation works pretty well.

I would love for there to be more tutorials on how to apply make-up especially eyeshadow and eyeliner. I know Stila has pictorials on how to apply eyeshadow on their packaging. <BR/><BR/>The product maybe great, but if you don't apply it well then it basically defeats the purpose, right?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3461772347487902769.post-91411500107234645632008-11-20T07:18:00.000-08:002008-11-20T07:18:00.000-08:00Anonymous, lucky you, not having to wear foundatio...Anonymous, lucky you, not having to wear foundation or blush! Not everyone is so lucky. And even if we are naturally gorgeous, makeup is fun!<BR/><BR/>My fave foundation is L'Oreal True Match. Lots of shades to choose from, great coverage, and it won't break the budget.<BR/>Even this lady thinks it's great:<BR/>http://www.cosmeticscop.com/brand_review.aspx?tid=308&brand=L'Oreal+ParisAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3461772347487902769.post-70871617673178603952008-11-20T07:02:00.000-08:002008-11-20T07:02:00.000-08:00i'm a non-makeup kinda girl. I do own an eyeliner ...i'm a non-makeup kinda girl. I do own an eyeliner pencil and some moisturiser, which does something, i'm sure. I've never owned or used foundation and blush though. <BR/><BR/>All the reading this week has made me wonder how much money (and time?) you NATURALLY gorgeous devis spend on elaborate daily make-up routines. (Anyone care to divulge?)<BR/><BR/>Anyway, while not all of this has been for me, it HAS been facinating to get an insight to what people value spending their time and money on -- so thanks (sincerely), DwB. <BR/><BR/>I just hope we girls don't end up being our own worst enemies, with all this attention to looking good (for whom?).
