I got the new Look Book which features new shades and so many pretty looks.  I'll say this for Mary Kay -- their models and makeup looks are really fashionable.  This time they had a page which could be cut in 1/4s with the picture on one side and the products on the other.  </p>
<p>That inspired me to do one (or more) of the looks, but loosely interpreted, because while some of the looks looked as if they had used cool colors, they were really using warm colors as the base and crease which I knew would not look the same on me.  And one where only Lilac was used, I know would not be defined enough for my eyes.  That model was dark complected so it showed up on her skin.  </p>
<p>I ended up combining three looks. And it was very fast once I got the idea.</p>
<p><strong>Eyes:<br />
Base: Beauticontrol Pink</strong><br />
<strong>Crease: MK Lilac</strong> -- this is the one that didn't show up the last time I used it -- today I kept applying until I could see it.<br />
<strong>Outer Corners and a bit in crease: Blue Metal</strong> I can wear these slate colors well.<br />
<strong>Drylined top and bottom: combination of Iris and Sweet Plum</strong><br />
<strong>Mascara: Stiletto<br />
Concealer: Dior Skinflash + Arbonne<br />
Brows: Merle Norman</strong> powder</p>
<p><a href="http://s520.photobucket.com/albums/w329/karinjg/June%202009/?action=view&#038;current=IMG_2317-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i520.photobucket.com/albums/w329/karinjg/June%202009/IMG_2317-1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a></p>
<p><strong>Primer: Guerlain Meteorites<br />
Foundation: Arbonne</strong><br />
My usual rouge and sparkly powder + Guerlains Meteorites powder for bronzer.<br />
<strong>Blush: MK Petals (frosted) and Strawberry Cream (no frost)</strong> mixed together -- I accidentally ordered SC -- I was going to go back and forth from Petals and Shy Blush (both frosted) but it has worked well to mix.  Sometimes it is serendipity -- and not a mistake!<br />
<strong>Highlight: Arbonne Promise mixed with Bashful</strong>  along cheeks and across whole face lightly</p>
<p><a href="http://s520.photobucket.com/albums/w329/karinjg/June%202009/?action=view&#038;current=IMG_2315.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i520.photobucket.com/albums/w329/karinjg/June%202009/IMG_2315.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a></p>
<p><strong>Lips: AL Karma</strong><br />
such a pretty color!<br />
<a href="http://s520.photobucket.com/albums/w329/karinjg/June%202009/?action=view&#038;current=IMG_2317.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i520.photobucket.com/albums/w329/karinjg/June%202009/IMG_2317.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a></p>
<p>Thanks for looking!  Be sure to leave a comment.</p>

I was very pleased with how it turned out and felt I looked great all day.  All my pictures turned out well too, so it is difficult to pick the ones to show!   I have no idea what I'm going to do with my eyes yet for today.</p>
<p><a href="http://s520.photobucket.com/albums/w329/karinjg/March%202009/?action=view&#038;current=IMG_1382.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i520.photobucket.com/albums/w329/karinjg/March%202009/IMG_1382.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a></p>
<p><strong>Eyes:  </strong><br />
<strong>Brand New Mary Kay Spring 2009 Luminous Color Blue, Brown, Green in single square pan</strong> $15  This isn't even in their online catalog yet!<br />
Cost for compact if you want one $18<br />
Lime green on lid<br />
Brown in crease and on outer corners -- pretty, fairly light shade</p>
<p><strong>Lined eyes:</strong><br />
Turquoise Blue as bright liner on top and outside of the MAC pencils on the bottom<br />
Bottom Lined: MAC graphblack on waterline; earthline below that<br />
Top lined at edge of waterline from underneath Sephora bright turquoise waterproof flashy liner pencil</p>
<p><strong>Mascara:</strong> Stiletto on top; Lancome on bottom.</p>
<p><a href="http://s520.photobucket.com/albums/w329/karinjg/March%202009/?action=view&#038;current=IMG_1383.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i520.photobucket.com/albums/w329/karinjg/March%202009/IMG_1383.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a></p>
<p><strong>Brows: Merle Norman powder. </strong> You can see how well it covers.  It's a great shade!</p>
<p><a href="http://s520.photobucket.com/albums/w329/karinjg/March%202009/?action=view&#038;current=IMG_1384-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i520.photobucket.com/albums/w329/karinjg/March%202009/IMG_1384-1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a></p>
<p><strong>Lips: NYX Round Gloss Queen of Africa</strong></p>
<p><strong>Blush:</strong><br />
I tried a really fun thing for the first time.  I have a multitude of lip pencils that I rarely use.  I decided to take one of them and use it as a blush.  I used <strong>Jordana Magenta.</strong>  This is a very inexpensive pencil I bought at the drug store several years ago.  I just don't wear such strong magentas as lippies for the most part any more, so it sits unused.</p>
<p>Technique: I drew a fairly good sized swatch on the end of my index finger.  I added one tiny drop of moisturizer and smooshed it together with my other index finger.  I then applied this on my cheek bones.  </p>
<p>I love the color and will definitely do this again and with other colors.</p>

I ordered (and received) 1 more eye shadow to complete my shadow box, as well as tinted moisturizer, so I wanted to try them out, even though I had thought to do AL mineral foundation spritzing the brush with water -- will do that tomorrow or lighten the tinted moisturizer in one step.</p>
<p><strong>FYI is Arbonne's line for teens or young adults</strong> ("young individuals"), but the products are suitable for all ages. There are tinted moisturizers; glosses; cream shadows (not in a tube); and 4 different fragrances in shower gel, small spray, body cream, and sugar scrub.  I tried the fragrances because, as you know, I love fragrance.  More on those in another post.  Shari told me how much she loves the tinted moisturizer, so I decided to try it.  It looks good on her!</p>
<p><strong>Eyes: Arbonne, </strong>except where noted, using new eye shape.<br />
<strong>Base: Nude Frost</strong> (not Arbonne)(cream in a pot)<br />
<strong>Lids:</strong> First used the <strong>soft gray </strong>(I think it might be matte).  Then used <strong>lime green</strong> on top of the gray and alone under lower lash line.  I wanted to know if the soft gray looked good by itself (it did) and whether it showed up enough (it did.)  And I felt it would deepen the impact of the lime.  (It did.) In a way it was like using a dark base instead of a skin tone one, but instead of it being cream, it was powder.  In RL it looks more lime than it does in the picture.<br />
<strong>Crease: Used lighter purple</strong> at top edges.<br />
<strong>Mascara: Arbonne</strong>, 2 step<br />
<strong>Brows: Merle Norman</strong> powder<br />
<strong>Wet lined left lower: Sephora White; right lower: MAC white</strong> -- the MAC is much whiter and brighter; for a more natural look, choose the Sephora, for a more highlighted look, choose the MAC.<br />
<strong>Lined top and lower: Tidal Wave</strong>, gel liner (not Arbonne) -- This is just a beautiful blue and blends nicely with the lime.<br />
<strong>Lined again top and lower: Lancome Micro Palettes</strong> -- white (but really sheer) with silver -- I like this to drift down and around under my eyes some to extend the optical illusion of my eyes.<br />
<strong>Concealer: Guerlain</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://s520.photobucket.com/albums/w329/karinjg/July%202009/?action=view&#038;current=IMG_2614-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i520.photobucket.com/albums/w329/karinjg/July%202009/IMG_2614-1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a></p>
<p><strong>Primer: Forgot<br />
Foundation: Arbonne FYI Light tinted moisturizer</strong> -- this is a neat product that came recommended by Shari.  It is a tad too dark on me.  Comparing it to the Arbonne foundation that I use, the foundation is a tad lighter and pinker.   I think this would be sufficient foundation and moisture for a lot of people.  I used the RE9 moisturizer first.<br />
<strong>Highlight all over face: Chanel</strong> liquid -- this made it a tad lighter -- could accomplish the same thing by mixing with regular moisturizer before applying or by mixing this with the tinted moisturizer and applying as one step.<br />
<strong>Powder:</strong> My sparkly mix<br />
<strong>Blush: Arbonne,</strong> light pink<br />
<strong>Highlight: Guerlain</strong> Butterfly perles -- got it as a gwp -- really great color!<br />
<strong>Bronzer: Arbonne</strong> -- Shari uses this on top of the tinted moisturizer (she uses light-medium tinted moisturizer, 1 shade darker than me.)  I'm not sure if she uses powder or if the bronzer is her powder.  Shari?  The bronzer comes in a large solid compact, but applies softer than the SCA hyaluronic powder, which is very hard so it is difficult to get much product.</p>
<p>Update: Sherri says:</p>
<blockquote><p>I always use powder to set my makeup and then I bronze.</p></blockquote>
<p><strong>Lips: Arbonne Prep and Plump Gleam + MAC</strong> lip liner, more at my LOTD post.</p>
<p><a href="http://s520.photobucket.com/albums/w329/karinjg/July%202009/?action=view&#038;current=IMG_2613.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i520.photobucket.com/albums/w329/karinjg/July%202009/IMG_2613.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a></p>
<p>I'm happy with the look.  It takes me longer to write it up than it does to apply it.</p>
<p><strong>Do you use a tinted moisturizer?</strong><br />
Mary Kay makes a very nice one too.  My MK consultant uses tinted moisturizer under her MK mineral foundation.  It looks good on her.</p>
<p>If you use tinted moisturizer, do you use it with your regular moisturizer or by itself as the only moisturizer?</p>
<p>To buy Arbonne from Bookgirl, if you don't have a representative, just ask.</p>

Kristen has beautiful shades of <a href="http://www.aromaleigh.com/greenkhaki.html">greens</a>, turquoises and teals, and I probably have most of them, at least in sample sizes, which are quite long lasting.  They are vibrant and beautiful, if you are on a quest for this color.</p>
<p>I also felt like doing a 5 min makeup today, which I did.  The only reason it took longer is because I kept thinking of things I wanted to take pictures of, such as the Chanel container and my powder.  So I would digress to that.  Aromaleigh is really fool proof.  Easy to apply; always looks great and lasts all day.  I knew I could do a 5 min makeup with AL.  And I had a busy, busy day today, meetings, errands, music lesson, pick and delivery to school and more.</p>
<p>In all honesty, there were two things I meant to do and got sidetracked: concealer, and some of the new Arbonne white shadow in the inner corners of my eyes.  That would have taken 30 sec.  I just forgot.</p>
<p><strong>Eyes: all Aromaleigh,</strong> except where noted<br />
<strong>Base: Nude Frost, then BE Queen Phyllis<br />
Lids: Azure<br />
Drylined Top: Aqua Nightmare</strong> (love this color!)<br />
<strong>Drylined bottom: Caribe</strong>, just a touch more blue<br />
<strong>Mascara: Stiletto</strong><br />
<strong>Tightlined top: NYX pen</strong> black<br />
<strong>Brows: Merle Norman</strong> powder<br />
<a href="http://s870.photobucket.com/albums/ab263/KJG4/August%202009/?action=view&#038;current=IMG_2806-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i870.photobucket.com/albums/ab263/KJG4/August%202009/IMG_2806-1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a></p>

<strong>Primer: Avon Magix<br />
Foundation: L'Oreal True Match, N1 Soft Ivory</strong> While it looks like this foundation covers well, when applying it, I'm a little disappointed in how sheer it looks in the pictures.  I like my skin to show through, but I like it a little less sheer.   I will likely use this more as a highlighter in the future, if I try it again, and it is equally sheer.<br />
<strong>Rouge</strong> under my sparkly mix of powder: Chanel stick<br />
<strong>Blush over: Arbonne Promise<br />
Hightlight: Arbonne Bashful</strong> lightest blush</p>
<p><strong>Lips: CG 912+928 + Stila Silver Mix</strong><br />
<strong>First: Guerlain liplift</strong> primer and conditioner and all round magic product<br />
<strong>912 and 928</strong> are plumping colors<br />
1/2 and 1/2 each color, one on each lip, smooshed; then Stila-Silver Mix gloss when some of the lippie was gone to refresh it...this lipstick (928) is the one that hurt my lips after using it exclusively for months.  After using every lip balm known to man and still having problems wearing anything on my lips, I remembered I had the Liplift.  It fixed the problem with one application.  I now have one in my purse and in the bathroom. And I made sure I used it before these colors.  I never felt the product sting my lips.  912 is a particularly pretty soft shade.  Perhaps tomorrow I'll show it alone.<br />

<p><strong>What do you think?  </strong><br />
Do you like to use plumping lipsticks or teals and turquoises for shadows?  What is your favorite AL color?</p>
<p>Kristen's birthday is coming up and she'd love to have people participate in nominating her business.  See the info <a href="http://aromaleighaficionadas.infopop.cc/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/4681074491/m/890101783">here.</a></p>

<p>Today I was doing some more organizing -- putting all my magenta-type lippies in one place and putting my Meow samples by colors.  Then I marked them all by their descriptions.  I have a disproportionate number of Meow purples and lavenders, though I like to wear those colors.  I did have 2 grays and one taupe (which looked green in the ziplock.)  That's how I saw and decided what colors to wear.   I started with the lipstick, knowing I wanted to wear that again, plus the enhancer I beaded for my daughter's newest bright green pendant (I'm wearing it).  Then I saw the Meow colors and knew I was hooked for today.</p>
<p><a href="http://s520.photobucket.com/albums/w329/karinjg/May%202009/?action=view&#038;current=IMG_1985.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i520.photobucket.com/albums/w329/karinjg/May%202009/IMG_1985.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a></p>
<p><strong>Eyes: all Meow</strong> except where noted, in the order of application<br />
<strong>Crease: Taupe</strong> -- this looked green in the bag; looks taupe on, though it pulls some lavender in the pictures -- I didn't put any lavender into it except possibly at the lowest point of the crease<br />
<strong>Inner corners: Misdemeanor</strong> VandalEyes -- citrus green with gold -- love this green!<br />
<strong>Outer corners: Jessica R</strong> ScandalEyes grape</p>
<p>This is sort of the look I get when I do my mascara, as I tilt my head back and look in a hand held mirror to do the top lashes.  Only this picture was taken when totally finished.  You can see the gradience of the colors.</p>

<p><strong>Mascara: top, Guerlain; lower:Tarte</strong><br />
<strong>Brows: Merle Norman</strong> powder<br />
<strong>Lined lower: Mary Kay Tahitian Gold</strong> (love this color!)<br />
<strong>Tight lined top and wetlined lower: Venomous</strong> gel liner (the purple that BookGirl liked so well)<br />
<strong>Drylined top: Tongue Tied</strong> IdealEyes Deep Smoky Plum</p>
<p>No concealer</p>
<p><a href="http://s520.photobucket.com/albums/w329/karinjg/May%202009/?action=view&#038;current=IMG_1983.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i520.photobucket.com/albums/w329/karinjg/May%202009/IMG_1983.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a></p>
<p>Sunscreen Neutragena, on face; La Prairie, on my neck<br />
<strong>Primer: Avon Magix</strong><br />
<strong>Foundation: Chanel</strong>, discontinued<br />
No highlighting<br />
Rouge (under my sparkly powder mix) Maybelline Rose Petal Mousse<br />
Blush (over) NARS Riviera stick</p>
<p><a href="http://s520.photobucket.com/albums/w329/karinjg/May%202009/?action=view&#038;current=IMG_1984.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i520.photobucket.com/albums/w329/karinjg/May%202009/IMG_1984.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a></p>
<p><strong>Lips: Beauticontrol Perfect Azalea</strong> topped with <strong>BE Buxom Dominique</strong> gloss  (clear with white, light blue and silver micro shimmer) -- BookGirl likes this -- I used to wear it a lot.</p>
<p><strong>What I think</strong><br />
When I compare this to yesterday's look, I like the teal greens (better?) but I do like this look and will wear it again. If I don't compare it, I think, good look!  Plus I've had several compliments on the lippie, which I need to begin to wear more often again.  It's one of their older colors when they color coordinated everything to your season, not that I could wear all the colors that were supposedly mine.</p>
<p><strong>What do you think?</strong></p>

In general, I like real hair brushes, except for ones that are meant to be synthetic (foundation and concealer.)</p>
<p><strong>Keep them clean</strong><br />
Clean them whenever you see residue in the brush.  If you are oily or prone to acne, this will be more often (even daily) to keep the brushes clean.  And you won't contaminate any of your product.</p>
<p>Some people use a conditioning shampoo.</p>
<p>I use a cleanser made for brushes by Merle Norman.  I do not use a whole capful.  I use 1/4 of the cap, filled with 3/4 water (that is the percentage). Put it in the sink.  Swirl my brush(es).  Add more water to it.  Swirl some more.  Empty basin.  Squeeze excess out of brush.  Fill basin with water and swirl brushes.  Empty and repeat until brush is clean and water is clear.</p>
<p><strong>Why do you need so many brushes?</strong><br />
Because using the right brush makes application easier.  </p>
<p>Much less blending is required.  In general, I believe if you lay it down right, you don't need to do much blending.</p>
<p>And you won't look like a clown with too much blush, for example, unless that is the look you are going for.</p>
<p>And if you have sensitive skin, where blending can actually feel hurtful, the better the brush, the softer or less pull on the skin.</p>
<p><strong>Do I have to have them all?</strong><br />
No, but these work.  Use what you have, but begin to collect others as you need them.  If you buy good brushes (consider buying them when there is a gwp offered), they will last nearly forever.  </p>
<p>Several of these brushes have hit the market only in more recent years, so it is possible that a brush we can't live without will be offered in the foreseeable future that meets a need we didn't know we had.</p>
<p>BE gives their brushes as part of many of their sets for face or eye.  They are really good, and many are only offered in their sets, they cannot be bought separately.  That's an added perk for buying their sets.</p>
<p>You can also look in places that sell brushes for arts and painting.  These may work just as well and cost less than something you find at a cosmetic counter.  For the most part, I have shown shapes so you know what you are looking for.</p>
<p><strong>Brands I like</strong><br />
<strong>Bare Escentuals</strong> -- every brush I've used has been top notch -- often included in sets</p>
<p><iframe src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=rateladcom-20&#038;o=1&#038;p=8&#038;l=as1&#038;asins=B000X3XWTK&#038;fc1=000000&#038;IS2=1&#038;lt1=_blank&#038;m=amazon&#038;lc1=0000FF&#038;bc1=FFFFFF&#038;bg1=FFFFFF&#038;f=ifr" style="width:120px;height:240px;" scrolling="no" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" frameborder="0"></iframe></p>
<p><strong>Clinique</strong> -- the two I have are great; one type I've only seen at Clinique, a large fluffy eye brush (will add the name later, if it is on the brush) (works great for laying down strong color without being too much)(which is how the SA used it on me and therefore sold me on it -- I don't have anything like it)<br />
<strong>CVS </strong>-- nice quality; not so easy to use as they are dual ended (they won't stand upright in a container -- they have to be flat)<br />
<strong>Estee Lauder</strong> -- I'm still using a 20 year old set.<br />
<strong>Lancome</strong> -- nice quality, I especially like the L'angle brush for eyes and use it daily.<br />
<strong>Update:</strong> Lancome's mineral foundation brush is superb!  It feels like velvet -- you are transported to a spa.  If you use mineral foundation, do yourself a favor, go to a Lancome counter and try this brush.  Let me know if you do!  Do you know if there is anything out there that is identical to this brush in a different price range?<br />
<strong>Mary Kay</strong> -- nice quality for the price.<br />
<strong>Sephora</strong> -- every one I've tried has been top notch; they have great travel sets.<br />
<strong>Trish McAvoy</strong> I have a couple of hers.  They are good.  Hers was the first brush similar to the Lancome L'Angle that I bought, but it is bigger and fuller than the Lancome.<br />
<strong>Ulta</strong> -- I just bought a very small angle eye liner brush (I wanted something similar to a drugstore one that I can no longer find -- this is smaller, but it works for what I want to use it for.  I used it to line my FOTD today)</p>
<p><strong>Brands that are said to be good, but I have not tried</strong><br />
<a href="http://www.aromaleigh.com/arprembrusco.html">Aromaleigh</a>  edit: I love their fiber optic brushes.<br />
MAC -- edit: I use a fiber optic brush of theirs for blush.</p>
<p><strong>Types of brushes that you should have at a minimum</strong><br />
Anything else you have is just a plus.  These should be in your staples.</p>
<p><strong>Eyes</strong><br />
<strong>Angle eye brush</strong> to lay down the crease<br />
<strong>Medium fluffy eye brush</strong> to lay down a base color<br />
<strong>Short almost semi-circular eye brush</strong> to lay down the outer corner color<br />
Sephora makes one called a Smudge Brush.  It's perfect.</p>
<p><iframe src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=rateladcom-20&#038;o=1&#038;p=8&#038;l=as1&#038;asins=B0009H9TJ2&#038;fc1=000000&#038;IS2=1&#038;lt1=_blank&#038;m=amazon&#038;lc1=0000FF&#038;bc1=FFFFFF&#038;bg1=FFFFFF&#038;f=ifr" style="width:120px;height:240px;" scrolling="no" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" frameborder="0"></iframe></p>
<p><strong>Denser round eye brush</strong> to use with Chanel type colors, if possible.<br />
<iframe src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=rateladcom-20&#038;o=1&#038;p=8&#038;l=as1&#038;asins=B000VWNI5G&#038;fc1=000000&#038;IS2=1&#038;lt1=_blank&#038;m=amazon&#038;lc1=0000FF&#038;bc1=FFFFFF&#038;bg1=FFFFFF&#038;f=ifr" style="width:120px;height:240px;" scrolling="no" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" frameborder="0"></iframe></p>
<p><strong>Fiber Optic eye brush</strong> as much for fun as anything. I have a BE one.  <a href="http://www.aromaleigh.com/blsifiopbr.html">Aromaleigh's</a> are supposed to be very good.  I really like their fiber optic eye shadow brushes.</p>
<p><strong>Brush you could use for blending</strong>, if necessary<br />
<strong>Angled or flat eyeliner brush</strong> for laying down shadow as eyeliners, usually dry, but works with gel also.</p>
<p><iframe src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?lt1=_blank&#038;bc1=FFFFFF&#038;IS2=1&#038;bg1=FFFFFF&#038;fc1=000000&#038;lc1=0000FF&#038;t=savvythinker-20&#038;o=1&#038;p=8&#038;l=as1&#038;m=amazon&#038;f=ifr&#038;asins=B000VWL96Q" style="width:120px;height:240px;" scrolling="no" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" frameborder="0"></iframe></p>
<p><iframe src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?lt1=_blank&#038;bc1=FFFFFF&#038;IS2=1&#038;bg1=FFFFFF&#038;fc1=000000&#038;lc1=0000FF&#038;t=savvythinker-20&#038;o=1&#038;p=8&#038;l=as1&#038;m=amazon&#038;f=ifr&#038;asins=B002UL10S8" style="width:120px;height:240px;" scrolling="no" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" frameborder="0"></iframe></p>
<p><strong>Regular shaped eyeliner brush</strong> for doing a wet or gel liner or<br />
<strong>Regular shaped eyeliner brush with bent handle</strong> This is surprisingly easy to use.</p>
<p><iframe src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=rateladcom-20&#038;o=1&#038;p=8&#038;l=as1&#038;asins=B0012NKLWQ&#038;fc1=000000&#038;IS2=1&#038;lt1=_blank&#038;m=amazon&#038;lc1=0000FF&#038;bc1=FFFFFF&#038;bg1=FFFFFF&#038;f=ifr" style="width:120px;height:240px;" scrolling="no" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" frameborder="0"></iframe></p>
<p><strong>Brow Brush</strong> if you use a powder form.  Often these brushes come with a comb on one side.  I rarely use the comb.</p>
<p><iframe src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?lt1=_blank&#038;bc1=FFFFFF&#038;IS2=1&#038;bg1=FFFFFF&#038;fc1=000000&#038;lc1=0000FF&#038;t=savvythinker-20&#038;o=1&#038;p=8&#038;l=as1&#038;m=amazon&#038;f=ifr&#038;asins=B002UL82AW" style="width:120px;height:240px;" scrolling="no" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" frameborder="0"></iframe></p>
<p><strong>Face</strong><br />
Use any soft good sized fluffy brush for blending away any mistakes, if necessary.<br />
<strong>Concealer brush(es), synthetic </strong> (or use your clean fingers)<br />
Some concealers feed through a brush, in which case you might not need one.<br />
Small thin one, for spot concealing.  </p>
<p><iframe src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?lt1=_blank&#038;bc1=FFFFFF&#038;IS2=1&#038;bg1=FFFFFF&#038;fc1=000000&#038;lc1=0000FF&#038;t=savvythinker-20&#038;o=1&#038;p=8&#038;l=as1&#038;m=amazon&#038;f=ifr&#038;asins=B000HAVCX2" style="width:120px;height:240px;" scrolling="no" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" frameborder="0"></iframe></p>
<p>Medium one for under eyes.</p>
<p><iframe src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=rateladcom-20&#038;o=1&#038;p=8&#038;l=as1&#038;asins=B00021DOCS&#038;fc1=000000&#038;IS2=1&#038;lt1=_blank&#038;m=amazon&#038;lc1=0000FF&#038;bc1=FFFFFF&#038;bg1=FFFFFF&#038;f=ifr" style="width:120px;height:240px;" scrolling="no" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" frameborder="0"></iframe></p>
<p><strong>Fluffy dense brush</strong> to apply mineral makeup with, if you use it.  BEs is very good.<br />
Take your pick:<br />
<iframe src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=rateladcom-20&#038;o=1&#038;p=8&#038;l=as1&#038;asins=B000XZSVQC&#038;fc1=000000&#038;IS2=1&#038;lt1=_blank&#038;m=amazon&#038;lc1=0000FF&#038;bc1=FFFFFF&#038;bg1=FFFFFF&#038;f=ifr" style="width:120px;height:240px;" scrolling="no" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" frameborder="0"></iframe></p>
<p><strong>Fluffy brush, not so dense</strong> angled or not, to apply powder or BE Mineral Veil.  Just like the above only a bit smaller in diameter.</p>
<p><strong>Medium sized fluffy angled brush</strong>, to apply blush</p>
<p><iframe src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?lt1=_blank&#038;bc1=FFFFFF&#038;IS2=1&#038;bg1=FFFFFF&#038;fc1=000000&#038;lc1=0000FF&#038;t=savvythinker-20&#038;o=1&#038;p=8&#038;l=as1&#038;m=amazon&#038;f=ifr&#038;asins=B000PKERTA" style="width:120px;height:240px;" scrolling="no" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" frameborder="0"></iframe></p>
<p><strong>Dense, flat round brush</strong> to apply blush, for certain colors<br />
<iframe src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?lt1=_blank&#038;bc1=FFFFFF&#038;IS2=1&#038;bg1=FFFFFF&#038;fc1=000000&#038;lc1=0000FF&#038;t=savvythinker-20&#038;o=1&#038;p=8&#038;l=as1&#038;m=amazon&#038;f=ifr&#038;asins=B001BBMGIQ" style="width:120px;height:240px;" scrolling="no" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" frameborder="0"></iframe></p>
<p><strong>Fiber Optic Brush</strong> to apply blush or bronzer, when the color is strong and you only want a bit.  It looks similar to this.  I have one by BE and by Prescriptives.  I have a smaller one by MAC.  <a href="http://www.aromaleigh.com/blsifiopbr.html">Aromaleigh's</a> are supposed to be very good.  I really like their fiber optic eye shadow brushes.</p>
<p><strong>Specialty</strong><br />
This is a nice brush.  The one end applies dry liner nicely.<br />
<iframe src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=rateladcom-20&#038;o=1&#038;p=8&#038;l=as1&#038;asins=B000EN5J40&#038;fc1=000000&#038;IS2=1&#038;lt1=_blank&#038;m=amazon&#038;lc1=0000FF&#038;bc1=FFFFFF&#038;bg1=FFFFFF&#038;f=ifr" style="width:120px;height:240px;" scrolling="no" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" frameborder="0"></iframe></p>
<p><strong>Optional</strong><br />
<strong>Lips, only if you use one</strong><br />
Or, use the brush on the end of a lip pencil, if you have one, rather than buying an extra brush.<br />
<strong>Lip brush</strong>, only if you use one.<br />
<strong>Lip brush with a cover</strong> for your purse.</p>

<p><strong>Makeup foundation brush</strong><br />
<strong>Synthetic brush</strong> to apply liquid or cream makeup, if you desire.  Using your fingers is just as good and there is no product waste.  You could also use a sponge.</p>
<p><strong>Eyes</strong><br />
<strong>Dense round eye brush</strong> Sephora makes one, for laying down intense colors, such as Chanels.  See above. (You can use the half round flat brush above just as easily, maybe more so)<br />
<strong>Brush </strong> suitable for applying shadows wet -- I sometimes use an older brush that gives it new life.</p>
<p><strong>Travel Set</strong> if you travel a lot or if you should need one for your purse.<br />
Sephora has some good sets.  Check for the one that has the type of brushes you like the most. Chanel often has one, but expensive.<br />
Aromaleigh carries a set too, see link above.</p>
<p>This is a quick run down, and I might have forgotten one or two.<br />
<strong><br />
Which brand of brushes do you know and love?</strong><br />
It looks as though ELF and NYX have brushes reasonably priced, but I have not tried them.  I have used several from CVS that are good.</p>

<p>If you can't have fun with makeup, when can you?!  I got the idea to reverse my eyes, sort of like combining all my posts from last week.  It looked strange at first, but I figured my liner would tie it all together.  I am really happy with it now. </p>
<p><strong>Eyes: all Aromaleigh</strong> unless noted, in order of application<br />
<strong>Base: Nude Frost</strong><br />
<strong>Crease: Lagoon</strong> matte<br />
<strong>Outer corner of one eye and inner corner of the other (and reverse drylined on bottom): Snapdragon, then vice versa for Aqua Nightmare </strong><br />
<strong>Tight lined top and wet lined lower: Peacock</strong> gel liner -- using back end of brush only.<br />
<strong>Inner corners: Snapdragon</strong><br />
<strong>Drylined top only: Moonagedaydream</strong><br />
<strong>Brows: Merle Norman</strong> powder<br />
<strong>Mascara, top: Guerlain; lower: Tarte</strong><br />
<strong>Concealer: Mary Kay</strong></p>

<p><strong>Sunscreen: La Prairie<br />
Primer: Avon Magix<br />
Foundation: Chanel</strong>, discontinued<br />
<strong>Rouge under powder: Revlon </strong>, cream<br />
<strong>Powder: My sparkly mix, then SCA Hyaluronic</strong> with stiff Guerlain brush<br />
<strong>Blush over powder: EL Pinkshimmer, then NARS Riviera</strong> as it didn't have enough color</p>

<p>Here are some favorites of mine that were collected over time:</p>
<p><a href="http://s520.photobucket.com/albums/w329/karinjg/March%202009/?action=view&#038;current=IMG_1363.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i520.photobucket.com/albums/w329/karinjg/March%202009/IMG_1363.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a></p>
<p>Top to bottom:<br />
Powder: Merle Norman -- Perfect shades when mixed and matched together;<br />
Pencils: Chanel, Clinique, La Prairie, Prescriptives (love the tiny diameter and the tiny brush, also that it feeds up and doesn't need to be sharpened -- comes in only two colors), Mary Kay, Tova, Avon, Revlon (this tends to be darker) (packaging has changed now, but has gel at one end.)</p>
<p>Swatches:<br />
Generally, brow pencils are harder.  They draw well on the brow, not so well without a brow bone behind them.  La Prairie is not pictured, it wouldn't draw and just made my skin red, sorry about that! Then the red showed through some of the other colors, so look at the bottom.</p>
<p><a href="http://s520.photobucket.com/albums/w329/karinjg/March%202009/?action=view&#038;current=IMG_1367.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i520.photobucket.com/albums/w329/karinjg/March%202009/IMG_1367.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a></p>
<p>Left to right: Powder:<br />
Merle Norman lighter color (barely visible on skin, but shows up well on brow), then deeper color; Pencils: Chanel, Clinique, Mary Kay, Tova, Avon, Prescriptives, Revlon first without gel, then with gel.</p>
<p>Do you have any other colors or brands that you particularly like?</p>
