Ok so I'm pretty new at the makeup scene so I figured I would start basic and work my way up XD I tried a lot of N.Y.C product but I have to say their white eyeliner was horrible and the medium loose powder was basically the color of mud but other than that, Their powder compacts are nice =D I also love maybellen's moouse foundation it goes on soft and silky. Any other suggestions? I am looking for something to do contouring =/

What sort of contouring are you wanting to do? Eyes or cheeks? I'm a make up artist and my new favourite brand is Furless. I was looking for a brand that doesn't test its products on animals, doesn't include animal by-products in their stuff, doesn't include toxic chemicals in their stuff and most importantly are a fantastic product. They are nice and cheap too. I can't wait to buy more stuff.

What colour is your skin? If it's not too dark, just use a shade of brown. You can use eye shadow. Start with a very light layer and slowly build it up. It's very easy to over do contouring and end up looking like you're back in the 80s! Furless is an Australian brand. I don't think they've been around long. You can check them out at furless dot com dot au

Hello wickedspies, Are you one of person in the picture? You don't look like a newbie on the makeup thing. :-) If you are one of these gorgeous ladies on the photo, you look fabulous. You can use a brown blush on for contouring any brand will do, as long as it will not give you a skin irritation. You can also buy a powder cake foundation, that is one tone darker than your skin tone. You can use that for contouring. Stick foundation/concealer that is also one tone darker than your natural skin tone is good for contouring. To rap it up, you can use either of the three, A brown blush on, a powder cake foundation that is one darker than your natural skin tone and a Stick foundation that is one darker than your natural skin tone. Please do update me if you already tried any of it. Happy mylotting. :-)

I haven't those are really good suggestions as well. I will have to try that. the loose powder that I just bought from N.Y.C was really disappointing it was a medium tone and when I put it on it looked like dirt on my face D=! It was pretty sad. I haven't gotten to many products from them that I like but I try them anyways because they are cheap ha ha. I am going to be trying to sell Avon products soon! It would really give me a chance to play around with makeup ^_^ Thanks for the compliment and for posting!

Avon is a product that has been tested and proven for a very long time. Avon is one of my favorite makeup brands. I could say I grew up with Avon. :-) I remember when I was in the 5th grade, My mom bought me an Avon makeup for kids. Avon used to have that. Don't ask when was that.LOL. I think you are going to earn well in selling Avon products.

I started with N.Y.C too! Thier eyeliner's really aren't very good. I have tried literally every eyeliner there is in department stores. My favorite one is Revlon Color Stay. They have a liquid eyeliner, a pencil one, and a crayon one that are all color stay. For the powder I use Revlon Photoready. I also use a Loreal Foundation and it's one of my favorites.

Nars Cream Blush is really great it looks really nice and their colors are really great Laura Mercier Creme Cheek Color is great to wear for a simple look
