> I also wear some dark grey eye liner underneath just my bottom lids (Racer - my top tip, is I put it on, and then run my finger over it to stop it being such a defined line), and a little deep brown eye shadow in the outer corner of my lid.
>LoL! I actually meant liquid or cake eyeliner. I'm pretty OK with the pencil kind.
And drat it! The foundation that worked well for me that I have worn for 15 years was recently discontinued! Clarins. Drat them. I've tried three different foundations so far, and none is as good, so now I'm using a Clarins foundation that isn't really awful, just isn't great. Far inferior to what they used to make. My problem is that foundation kinda floats and goes chalky on me. It's hard to describe, but trust me: it's hard to find acceptable foundation... If I were offering advice, though, based on my recent search, I'd check out Prescriptives. They have a bunch, several formulations and a ton of shades.
But I want some Guerlain bronzer... Or the new one, the Meteorites Winter Radiance. I'm grinding my teeth, though, because the Winter Radiance apparently isn't available as a refill. Grrr. I don't want to spend $150 so that I get a fancy case. (Although I do have the plain Meteorites Voyage in the fancy case. So I figure I've paid my Fancy Tax to Guerlain already, and shouldn't have to do it again...)
Some day, Nikki, I hope we'll all have a chance to put on make up standing side by side, while giggling madly. (But right now my husband says "hurry up, if you don't want to cook tonight we're going to the Japanese place." And you know what? I don't want to cook...)
