Makeup Tips

Theres an eye shadow base thats very good it keeps it on for a long time. You can use a dab of regular base that works good too.

i have issues keeping my eye liner on the shadow for me stays when i put base on lids but my liner always comes off on shabbos its annoying!

Eyeshadow primer. Works like magic.

magnet by mac works for me

Believe it or not, Maybelline has some excellent mascaras.

The old standby (which is recommended by models and their makeup artists)Great Lash, is one of them. I get the waterproof kind.

As to eye shadow, here is a tip : first put on a cream shadow then “set” it with the same color in powder.

Never tried the Maybelline mascara. Is it very heavy and thick looking on the eyes? I don’t like that look. If not, I’ll go to the pharmacy today IY’H.

i like the maybelline mascara too. stays on for days!

i tried waterproof liner it doesnt stay on!!!!

try clinique superbalanced makeup. it costs a bit much but I’ve been using it for a few years and never had a breakout from it like other bases.

Max Factor which is no longer producing their makeup, as I heard, had excellent waterproof liner called Linemaker. You might be able to still order it on-line. NYC also makes aliner pencil which is very long-lasting and waterproof, and there is a gel liner in a small round pot (I think it is also Maybelline or L’Oreal) that I used that was very good.

For badly scarred skin really needing good coverage, Dermablend is excellent. It is now sold under the company Logo of Vichy at most CVS stores.

1- Which liquid foundation for dry skin, is the best? Fragrance free preferred.

2- Who does a good make-up consultation for a teen, just learning for the first time, in BP/Flatbush?

I hate red lipstick. Looks much too fake.

ok: a few ppl hav disagreed with me on this.. so i have to get it out- it gets me so nervous when girls with very blond hair and eyebrows/lashes wear black eyeliner! i feel like it looks so unnatural and heavy for ther skin tone and hair, and a brown or softer color does wonders..

Sac-i dont know about purposely…but dressed all in black thats the look they get!!

OOO i thought of another thing- (hey this is gettin fun) contrasting lip liner and lip stick is outdated!! please stop! lol sorry if im offending a o..

i guess u arent exposed to the number of woman i see all the time who chose ther makeup palette (in the 90s) and found what they liked so stuck with it! doesnt work with everything- gotta keep freshing up the look!

Hello people. As a gentleman, I do not enter the Ezrat Nashim threads unless I feel it is l’toeles harabim. I promise I did not look at anything but the titles, and went straight to the bottom to post. This is my makeup tip: use it at your own risk. I know that I am arguing against human nature, and that makeup use was normative in the time of the Mishna. The issue is the provenance of the raw material. I clean drains for a living, and in my long career, I dealt with many commercial systems. In the food manufacture industry in general, nothing thrown away and some use is found for all wastes. In commercial food, the drains are protected from grease by grease traps, tanks that accumulate the oils and fats, and separate them from the waste flow. These traps must be and emptied every so often, and what comes out of them is the most putrid and noxious stuff on the planet. It is a regulated waste,and it cannot be landfilled or otherwise discarded. The answer to this problem is the cosmetics industry which cooks, sanitizes and resells it as your favorite makeup. In the NY metro area the big green pumper trucks that suck out the big operations end their route at the Revlon intake plant in NJ.

Now, tachlis: If you are the type to avoid food stuff that had hundreds of technical changes made to it, or if you avoid putting things into your body because they have too long an ingredient list, then you should extend this care to what you put on your exterior. Skin,and certainly skin with high vascular and lymph traffic, absorbs things. Blessings for long and healthy life

I’m a bit late, but I just read thru the “girl” threads… re: the color of your eyeliner-

I also have large eyes, light colored and am very conservative. You should realize that black eyeliner for such eyes is actually the least conservative… it is the most striking actually.

Why don’t you try a pewter/dark grey color. Try a low-end pharmacy brand to try and see how you look & feel with it on…

When using COLOR as opposed to black, you should use pencil (not gel or liquid) because it will blend with your eye & lashes much more nicely and affords a more beautiful and polished look- it is less sharp but much more enhancing, sometimes even achieves that ‘glow’.

Using a dark grey, with well blended, soft eyeshadow (I only put in the corner of my eyes) + a good mascara (not clumpy) is really pretty with just enough umph (not humdrum, but not too attracting either- simply beautiful & pleasing to look at).

Don’t be afraid to try it- it’s so much fun… play around with the colors, you’ll begin to appreciate what you can really do with your features… just don’t apply it too thick!

And btw- what that guy in the other thread suggested- navy blue- is actually a great idea (but make sure its smooth pencil- not too sharp).

PPS- I have a friend who wears a stunning moss green eyeliner, you can not tell its that color, it just enhances her eyes so beautifully… it looks almost light grey. She wears just a bit of mascara. The effect is stunning.

Dunno-ME!!!!!! Add massages to the list. Thanks
