Avon MagiX Face Perfector SPF 20 Right now


I love this product but found myself out of it recently and decided to try L'Oreal's Studio Secrets Face Perfecting Base. Although it goes on super velvet and starts out doing the exact same thing as MagiX I found that it did not banish the shine for more than 2 hours after I applied it. I generally wear the product alone without foundation or powder simply because I like the more natural look. MagiX banishes shine and even though I'm African American the SPF included is a PLUS. Try it, you won't be dissapointed.Get more detail about Avon MagiX Face Perfector SPF 20.

Benefit Cosmetics You're Bluffing Decide Now


This is too little product for the money, and you're paying for packaging, imo. In addition, the color really doesn't help my redness. Put it on, and it is cheap looking. Blend it out, and it is too opaque.

Not impressed. There are better red-concealer products out there at half the price, such as those by Physicians Formula.Get more detail about Benefit Cosmetics You're Bluffing.

L'Oreal Age Perfect Liquid Makeup - Creamy Natural 1.0 oz. Order Now


L'Oreal Age Perfect Liquid Makeup isn't really a liquid but is more of a cream that comes in a jar with a brush for application.

I don't really care for the brush. I couldn't really blend well enough with it and the makeup is slightly thick. I just use my regular makeup sponge. The coverage is not light but it doesn't feel heavy on your face. It has a nice soft feel to it. It doesn't settle into fine lines either but stays in place.

The only other thing that I really notice is that it seems to be a little dark. I got the creamy natural which is normally what I would wear but it is a little dark for me. That's ok though, after a little summer tan, it should match my skin. If you are on the borderline of which color to choose, I recommend going with the lighter shade.Get more detail about L'Oreal Age Perfect Liquid Makeup - Creamy Natural 1.0 oz..

I love this product and have used it for years (both the 330 for summer and 328 for winter time).

Cle De Peau Beaute Concealer Ivory Top Quality


I have tried dozens of under-eye concealers, and this is by far the best. It's highly pigmented, so the coverage is excellent and it's not too oily so it does not crease immediately like most concealers do. If your skin is very dry, you might find it helpful to use a little moisturizer underneath the Cle De Peau concealer, but don't overdo the moisturizer in order to avoid creasing. This product is expensive, but definitely worth the money. I only wish I hadn't spent so much on other concealers that don't work nearly as well!Get more detail about Cle De Peau Beaute Concealer Ivory.

Where To Buy CoverGirl Smoothers SPF 15 Tinted Moisturizer, Light To Medium 810, 1.35-Ounce Packages (Pack of 2)


I like the covergirl smoothers because if you're in a hurry and do not want to bother with the whole makeup thing it works well. The moisterizer has an SPF 15 so that helps if you will be outside. It feels very light and goes on like lotion, but covers redness and flaws.

The only problem was trying to find it. I found it once at Rite Aid and then could not seem to find it again. I ordered it through Amazon.com and then stumbled on it in the local Kroger's of all places.Get more detail about CoverGirl Smoothers SPF 15 Tinted Moisturizer, Light To Medium 810, 1.35-Ounce Packages (Pack of 2).

Order Max Factor Pan-Stik Ultra Creamy Makeup, Medium 109 .5 oz (14 g)


I absolutely ADORE this makeup. It is a bit heavy, but manages to cover anything---blemishes, scars, undereye dark circles, freckles---anything! I am very active at work, and needed coverage that could survive perspiration for several hours. FOUND IT. That being said, if you do use this makeup, you have to remember to thoroughly cleanse afterwards and clay mask regularly.Get more detail about Max Factor Pan-Stik Ultra Creamy Makeup, Medium 109 .5 oz (14 g).

Purchase Benefit Cosmetics Some Kind-a Gorgeous


This foundation goes on smooth but is oily. Although coverage is decent, it emphasizes my large pores on my nose and highlights my crow's feet. There are much better products out there than this one, in my opinion.Get more detail about Benefit Cosmetics Some Kind-a Gorgeous.

Buying Bare Escentuals BareMinerals Original Mineral Veil 2 g


I am a professional makeup artist based in Los Angeles and worked part time for Current TV a station owned by Al Gore. A lot of the hosts on the show prefered to use the Bare Essentuals than using a liquid blush because it looked more natural but gave a good coverage. Especially on television and film and with HD you want to look as natural as possible. I myself dont wear foundation dont like how it feels on my skin and look on my skin and tend to just wear a bronzer in powder form. If you want more use the liquid or creme but if you want a natural light feel on your skin mineral makeup is great. Bare Essentuals can be a little pricey but there are other lines even L'Oreal carry mineral foundation. [...]Get more detail about Bare Escentuals BareMinerals Original Mineral Veil 2 g.

Benefit Cosmetics Hoola Right now


I really love Benefit, but you really have to know WHEN to use a lot of their products - whether it is the right season or the right age or the right time of day. Hoola is a great mixture of a blusher and a bronzer, although I would say it leans more to the bronzer side. I like it, but it is a little orange for me currently since the summer hasn't started yet and I haven't gained that natural glowing tan yet. I'm sure it will be great in another month. I would never spend 30 bucks on it though, get it off a seller on eBay for 10.Get more detail about Benefit Cosmetics Hoola.

LEG MAGIC-LIGHT BEIGE Decide Now


I'm so sorry to hear the last reviewer was unhappy about the "pink" shade to this color. I have used Covermark for many years, finishing up the last tube of several I purchased (2001, and the texture is getting strange!). It takes a few tries to find the right shade in any product. I need something that doesn't look "yellow" when it's supposed to be beige, fair, light, etc. Nearly every cosmetic has a yellow cast, a problem, as I'm very pale. Personally, I'm thrilled to find a pink tone because it blends better (for me) and doesn't look like, "wow, she's got a bad shade of cover on those veins". Bad cover draws attention to the problem, rather than conceal.

I love this product, and I've tried them all. Once you find the right shade for you, here are a few tips from my trials and errors with leg cover. Do your shaving first, then moisturize. This makes the legs smooth for the application. As this product is waterproof (yaaay!), it tends to get stuck on your cuticles and in dry skin on your hands. Not a problem if you wash it off immediately, but an annoyance. If you apply it with a round makeup sponge, the application is easier and more accurate.

Press it on the worst areas and smooth out lightly on the edges. Let it dry before putting on clothing. If you're in a hurry, the company sells a "setting" powder that is very finely milled. Pat it on, then smooth it with your hand. You can also use baby powder or perfumed talc, in lieu of their product. The best thing about this cover is that you can make it last a few days if you don't scrub it off (or shave it off!) those areas. Shower and soap as you normally would, but lightly hand smooth over the covered spots. You can touch up if some of it washes off. When it's time to shave, use a scrubby to get it all off so you don't dull the blade, and start again.

Covermark is a miracle. So glad to see it's still available, as it's not sold locally. Bought several tubes last time, afraid I wouldn't be able to find it again. Bless Amazon; they always seem to have the hard-to-find things!
