That happens to me and I’m only 13 years old. But i wash my face everyday with ice cold water. And it goes away

Okay, so I ever-so-desperately want a Coastal Scents 88 Palette!
The problem is, I am only going to buy one, and they have two; one in matte and the other in shimmer.
Matte- http://www.coastalscents.com/cfwebstore/index.cfm/product/1677_122/88-piece-makeup-palette.cfm
Shimmer- http://www.coastalscents.com/cfwebstore/index.cfm/product/1667_122/ultra-shimmer-88-eye-shadow-palette.cfm
Now, I LOVE shimmery eye shadows, but I usually where them to school and stuff. & I don’t want it to be too dramatic or anything like that.
The matte seems amazing too. Just like I said, I do like shimmer. But the matte has really great neutrals and highlights while the shimmer doesn’t.
So which palette would you buy, in my circumstances?
Thanks for your help!
MATTE because i heard that it is shimmery too just not as much as the other one! and u will prob use the matte one more at least i would.
I can pull off almost any makeup or clothes, so this isn’t much of a stretch, all my friends think it looks good. . .Comments?
it doesn’t matter when you wear it and who thinks it looks good, as long as you like it it’s all that matters.
I hate the eye creases you get when you put on make up and like an hour later theres the big crease
Which brand/type of makeup doesnt get the eye creases? anyone know?! D:
The secret to stopping your eyeshadow from creasing is…primer. It takes an extra 2 seconds to apply and wow-big difference! My eyeshadow looks like I just put it on at the end of the day. For real.
The best eye shadow primers I’ve used are Urban Decay Primer Potion and Too Faced Shadow Insurance. Urban Decay’s is probably my first choice because it comes with an applicator-sort of like a lip gloss wand.
It’s a worth-while investment if you want your eyeshadow to stay put

and yes, i currently am using all of them.
i want to learnt a couple lessons and tricks on applying great makeup. Any ideas where i can find a class like this?
The Fashion Institute of Technology?
I want to buy a good mascara that will lenghthen+ volumize my lashes without clumping.
Any recomendations?
For under twenty bucks, it’s MAC Plushlash.
For under ten, I’d try out a few different Maybellines ones, such as Lash Stiletto (good, but smells bad and flakes) or Define-A-Lash (I prefer the pink one–very volumizing indeed!).
when i apply eye liner and other eye makeup,my eyes look extra small. is there any way to make my eyes look bigger and brighter?
Also, how do i get that deep set eyes look? Or hollow eyes? Thanks!
Only apply eyeliner to the outer half of your eyes. This will make them look rounder and wider apart
If you want deep set eyes:
First, use a medium shadow across your entire top lid
Then, blend up to a white or light shadow on your brow bone and inner eyelid (by your nose)
Last, use a dark shadow along your top lid and on the outer corner, and use a brush to add some of either the medium or dark shadow along your lower eyelid, too.
I have black eyes. I do have double lids, but you can’t see them too much because they curve in very deep.
I want to:
-make my eyes look bigger
-make them stand out/sparkle/pop
Using:
-Eye shadow
-Mascara
-Eyeliner
My questions are:
-What color eye shadow/eyeliner should I use?
-What type of mascara should I use?
-How do I curl my eyelashes?
-Any certain makeup techniques that I could use?
I have a really hard time with make up. I used to wear WAYo much. But I’ve realized that unless you are a make up pro, the less you use the better. I have green eyes but I think anyone can wear neutral colors. I like to wear Mascara only on my top lid, when I start to put make up on the my lower eye it tends to start looking over done. If it’s a special occoccasionll put mascara on the bottom lash as well. I put eye shadow on my lid, queen tiffany or beaches from bare essentials, it’s a powdery shadow that comes on smooth no matter what. If you go into any Bare Essential store in the mall they will show you how to put the make up on. I would also get their starter kit with foundation, warmth and brushes, I swear by their make up, it’s the absolute best. GOOD LUCK! It doesn’t take much to make your eyes beautiful and remember less is always more.
I need makeup brushes. WHERE SHOULD I BUY THEM FOR CHEAP?
in cvs and target and walgreens there are these brushes called eco tools brushes and they are soo fucking soft and soo good.
it comes with a blush brush a powder brush/kabuki/ an eyeshadow brush and a concealing brush and its only 10 bucks.
its pretty good deal and they are as good and soft as mac brushes.
