This moisturizing makeup remover is designed for waterproof mascara and eyeliner. It is fragrance free, hypoallergenic, and ophthalmologist tested. According to the directions on the bottle, the proper way to use it is to apply some on a cotton pad, close your eyes, and gently press the pad to the eyelids: then wait for 5 seconds and remove the pad. I have found that it takes a little more effo...

Estee Lauder's Resilience Lift Extreme Ultra Firming Creme Compact Makeup was released in Summer 2007. I absolutely love Estee Lauder products, so I just had to try this new makeup formula.  I've never used anything but liquid makeup/foundation before, so I was pleasantly surprised how compact makeup actually works. Estee Lauder's Resilience Lift Extreme creme makeup is ve...

I have seen the commercials on television for Sheer Cover but I didn't want to order it on the phone.  I found this same product for sale at Bed Bath and Beyond.  Sheer Cover comes in two shades, a light/medium or a medium/dark kit.  I bought the light/medium kit which is the best shade for most women.  The kit comes with three foundations shades and a finishing powder.&...

CoverGirl Clean Makeup is a foundation I keep coming back to. The lightweight, water-based formula is gentle on skin, gives a smooth appearance, and provides decent coverage.  Available in 15 shades, from Ivory to Sable, it should be fairly easy to find a shade that will work with your skin tone. Some have a pink tinge, some a more golden color, so be sure to pick the right hue for ...

 I recently purchased online my first tube of foundation by Maybelline called Pure Makeup. Let me tell you first what the products states. It claims that it is shine free and that it will not clog your pores due to the fact that it contains 50% of water. I've had this product for a few weeks now and am extremely pleased with it. I have to say it is one of my fa...

 Awhile ago, I went looking online for a foundation that was long lasting. I came across a website that said makeup artists use a primer to hold the foundation which makes it last longer. A primer will also make applying the foundation easier.  So I purchased Cover Girl's Outlast All Day Liquid Makeup which contains 2 products in 1, a primer (which contains sunscreen) as...

This product has done wonders for my skin.  I have fair skin and freckles, so the tinted moisturizer is my best bet for overall coverage.  This product provides light coverage and a warm color, while protecting my skin from the sun with a 15 SPF.  I wear it year round and have much healthier skin because of it.  It only comes in a few shades (Fair to light, Light to medium, ...

Clinique Superbalanced Makeup is marketed for those with combination skin: it claims to absorb skin oil where your skin is oily and moisturize it where your skin is dry. My face has these dry and oily spots, so I thought this could be a perfect, although expensive, makeup solution. I chose Fair out of the 24 available shades, which seemed to match my skin the best.The foundation seemed to work ...

This foundation rocks! My skin tends to be on the oily side, so I was on a search of an affordable, water-based foundation that still offered great coverage. Well, I found it. Maybelline Pure Makeup foundation gives a sheer, matte coverage, and feels like you aren't wearing any at all. It comes in a variety of shades, for practically every skin color, and its affordable...even on my co...

When I walked into the store that day, all I was looking for was a compact with pressed powder, dry pressed powder. I wanted this item for a trip so I wouldn't have to bring my loose powder, which can be a bit messy when traveling.  I didn't have time to stop at a better department store to buy my usual makeup, so was at the mercy of whatever I could pick up at my&nb...

Loreal Visible Lift Line Minimizing Makeup with SPF 17 sunscreen and Pro-Retinol A is currently the only foundation I use.  I rarely wear makeup any more, but when I do wear it, I find this is a good makeup to wear.  I have a problem with dead skin buildup on my face, and makeup seems to make this buildup look rougher and more visible.  While I do experience this effect with Lore...

We've all seen the infomercials for mineral makeups for a few years now and like every other woman out there I've been curious as to if they really work like they claim. As someone who has a lot of redness I wanted to believe in the miracle of minerals to cover like foundation and heal the skin. The infomercial products are fairly expensive though so I never gave into the urge to try th...

I heard about these brushes from my cousin when she wanted to take modeling classes. The classes suggested these brushes for use in place of professional brushes. I must say, they are much, much more affordable than professional brushes! I went to Sephora and they wanted me to buy 3 brushes for $60! That is 3 times the price for half the amount of brushes! I thought that that was insane so I we...

I’m always on the search for great skincare products. I have combination skin, and tend to breakout a little. I don’t like products that clog your pores or make your skin even shinier.  I had heard good things about Philosophy before, so when I saw that Sephora.com had a sale on their kits, I decided to try it. I chose the Make-Up Optional Kit for Congested Skin, because...

Sally Hansens Fast and Flawless Airbrush Makeup: Love it. Fast and easy to apply, It covers beautifully, and it stays put all day, no smudgeing. Also doesn't cause any skin blemishes or problems. Other foundations has given me acne. This product is not greasy. I look great with it on and everyone says I look younger. and my skin looks clearer and softer.The "nude" color is no...

I'm not nearly as fond of experimenting with makeup as I was when I was younger. At one time, it was rare that I would even leave the house without being fully made up. Now, that is a real rarity! I discoved Philosophy The Present Clear Makeup quite by accident. My daughter had left a tube of it lying in the bathroom, and I wasn't wearing my glasses, so I couldn't really read the la...

I have tried various types of mineral makeup and this one is at the top of my list. The loose mineral makeup from Meow Cosmetics was formulated for sensitive skin. It contains no preservatives, no silica, no parabens and no bismuth (which is in many other mineral makeups and can cause irritation and itching). Meow offers more color choices of foundation and concealer than I have ever seen from ...

Maybeline EverFresh Makeup come sin a clear 1.3 oz tube with a screw on/off lid.  It is available in (8) shades.  The shade that I chose was Nude Light #4.  Which is a really good match for my skin color.  I like that the makeup goes on very sheer but unfortunately because it does this, it doesn't last all day like Maybeline claims.  I don't have oily skin, but ...

I am always searching for the perfect foundation and I think I have found it with PurMinerals.  Ever since mineral makeup has become so popular I have tried several different brands and never found one that I like.  They were always so messy and hard to apply.  I heard that PurMinerals came in a pressed compact and that it was not messy.  Since it had great reviews...

I tried Mary Kay Mineral Makeup this past week. I love this stuff. It is very light and sheer. You can tell I have makeup on, but it does NOT look painted on. It has a special brush (sold seperately) to apply it. It is easy to apply. Just gently shake the jar (with the lid on), open the cap and swish the brush to pick up powder. Tap it on the side of the jar to get any extra off the brush. Swis...
