I was wondering if anyone on here likes makeup...especially the makeup tutorials that are available on the youtubes? I absolutely adore Michelle Phan She's my favourite online makeup guru..her style is so effortless and chic <3 <3 <3
I absolutely love makeup...anything to do with it, whether it's costume, cute, hime-style, casual...anything and everything <3
oh and here's a link to her channel <3

oooh you're gorgeous! Definetly talented on applying makeup! Yeah you should do some tutorials..as for what's covered...I guess the normal sequence goes 1. show completed look and what its inspired by 2. show products needed 3. show how to apply andddd...done! heehe :) good luck!! I love the second to last look best- wht products do you favour? And where'd you get the fake eyelashes from? Unless they're yours..then all I have to say is..woooww! haha

colorful set 07-05-2009 07:29 PM

Aw thanks so much! I've always wanted to be a makeup artist, just for fun. I practically have to beg my sister to let me do her makeup, but she never lets me go all out and do fun/crazy stuff! She likes very light and simple makeup. (Which is very acceptable and I am a fan as well, but it's always fun to go crazy for a party or dinner!)

Haha those fake eyelashes are by NYX. I also had demi eyelashes on in the last picture, idk if you can tell. Hahah, but they are both by NYX. You can order them from www.cherryculture.com
They are pretty cheap there! And every now and then cherryculture will have discounts so you can get one pair of falsies for $2 or something like that!

I love NYX! It's an affordable brand but has great pigmentation.

What are your favorite makeup brands?
What are the makeup products you cannot live without?

My favorite brands are MAC, of course. It kind of goes without saying, haha... But I am also really interested with NARS, in the high end department... It's more expensive than MAC, but the quality is amazing and the one word I can use to describe any NARS product is "SEXY." As for drugstore/cheaper cosmetics, I love Milani and independent online mineral makeup companies. Their eyeshadow singles are SUPER pigmented and are only about $2-3. And then their bigger fashion wet/dry shadows are kind of the same size as the MAC Mineralized eyeshadows, except you only get one color out of them.

The makeup "MUST HAVES" in my arsenal are: Korean BB Cream. I love the way it makes me feel! Light makeup without a cakey finish, and good for your skin too! I've tried SO many brands and have zero complaints with all of them! Urban Decay Primer Potion. Love it. You need it. Go buy it. MAC mineralized skinfinishes. I love the special ones that make your skin shimmer and glow! They are just perfect because it's not like you are putting gobs and gobs of glitter all over your face! It's a nice sheen. n_______n

I'm not a fan of makeup... I like my women to look all-natural~

Guivre 07-05-2009 08:44 PM

Michelle Phan is pretty and everything, but she says things that don't make any sense sometimes. :/

I'll check out Leesha now.

It's just fun in general to watch people put on make-up. And kind of relaxing, too.

colorful set 07-05-2009 09:03 PM

ahah I don't like the way Michelle Phan pronounces things. Like, she says "assessorize" instead of accessorize, and some other little language nuances. s:

Another great youtube makeup guru is Lauren Luke aka Pancea81.
http://www.youtube.com/user/panacea81
She is extremely talented! A lot of her looks are more on the fun/wild side, but I loveeee what she can do. She is amazing at blending. She's also a great like internet success story. She just started doing makeup in her bedroom one day and making videos with just a basic camera, and now she has like millions of viewers, professional filming equipment and started her own makeup line!

OMG! I love the birthday one! I was going to use that look for my prom, but didn't have enough time to! I really liked the anime eyes one too :D It's really cute xDD

EDIT: @Colorful set: I'm loving the fourth and fifth look! <3

trannysaurus 07-07-2009 02:36 AM

those are really helpful!
:D

thoughtlessamaya 07-07-2009 07:11 AM

I watch xsparkage and petrilude (which is a guy) all the time!
They're amazing and I love their style.

Hypomanic Poet 07-10-2009 04:53 AM

I rarely wear makeup. I'm an all-natural kinda gal. I only wear it when I feel obligated to, like at weddings and what have you

@colourful set: I like the last picture the best. You're so prettyyyyy! :squee:

StripedSocks` 07-10-2009 08:18 PM

I'm not really all that into makeup, but I followed a tutorial to make me look like I was bleeding all over the place, does that count? xD That was lots of fun... <3

Sho-Shonojo 07-11-2009 04:11 PM

I don't usually wear makeup. But watching these tutorials makes me want to. :(

Akuma-hime 09-05-2009 05:58 AM

oh wow, this is awesome. hopefully this can improve my horrible makeup skills. lol

RetroTV 09-05-2009 06:01 AM

I only only only wear makeup if I intend to dress up. I don't think I've worn foundation or stuff that goes on your face directly for... About a year. It makes me feel so much better. The only thing I mess with is my eyes and lips, anything else is a no, unless it's lightlight blush, or a shimmer. ._.


But I dooo love me some makeup!

Jazzu 09-05-2009 06:02 AM

I don't do makeup often because my skin is sensiti ve, but I've been looking at her videos too and th e guides are always so helpful! I need to get contact lenses first though because  I can't tell what on earth I'm doing to my face wh en I'm without my glasses.

Yamaxchan 09-05-2009 06:23 AM

I really need to find a good one for Lolita make up. That's after I buy the make up of course. :3

Bippy 09-06-2009 08:41 PM

I'm a big fan of the tutorials by Doe Deerehttp://www.doedeereblogazine.com/art...keup-tutorials . Her makeup is a little wild for me but I love her creativity! Plus she's got her own crazy shaded makeup line out!

Codette 09-06-2009 08:49 PM

I hate those tutorials. I'd much rather experiment and try stuff out on my own.
