Think I could replace my beloved powder brush?
Maxine's Mop is another paint brush used for makeup. Easy to find at any craft store.

@the bolded: not for me lol - I swear every craft store near me has none of these. They sell other Leow Cornell brands but not that one and the mop brush I really want. I will be traipsing around in the next county over tomorrow.

I've never had my lip waxed but I'm getting desperate.
Why must I have a five o clock shadow on my upper lip. Not cool!

I use a dipilatory cream on my face. Waxing always seems to give me pimples.

I found a better solution to the problem of my eyebrows. My real eyebrows all fell out completely years ago. So I had them tattooed on which would last about a year. After a few tattoo repeats I couldn't afford it so I just let it fade out which left very visible orange marks.

Hideous. Orange eyebrows don't suit me so I started covering them with pencils and then tried eyeliner gel - neither worked well.

So a Sephora sales person suggested Makeup Forever waterproof eyebrow corrector. She wasn't sure how it would look but she wanted to experiment on me. Wow! It works. I got the lightest color which turns dark and I paint over the orange. I have to be careful because if not I end up looking like Groucho Marx.

Big improvement!!! A relief. I told the sales person's manager what a great job she did. Yea Sephora!!!

Has anyone tried any other makeup forever products and what do you think?

I have only used their face and body foundation and I didn't love it. I am going to use up what I bought but I will continue my search. To be fair, the only place near me where I can purchase is Sephora, and they don't carry all of their products in store nor do I live near a Sephora with a terribly knowledgeable staff, so I really don't know what my experience could be.

the eye shadow palettes are pretty good value - 6 colours for $10 always works for me!

depending on your skin tone, and the skill of the threader, it may make it redder. I had a red sore spot for several weeks after my own and only threading experience (brows).

In fairness, I do have very sensitive skin, and can't use wax, either.

well my sephora has sent all the stuff back to the main office so it's probably the stuff that's available online. he did tell me i might find some things at the sephora inside jcpenney's but i wasn't near one today. the stuff online seems cool but i don't want to have to buy $50 worth to get free shipping so for now, i exercise control and don't make a random purchase.

my threader says yes. she threads my facial hair occasionally and says that it does give me a slight shadow and she says in some women, particularly ethnic women with darker hair, even if the hair is fine, taking it off will make you look lighter. i agree when she threads my facial hair i do appear brighter if that makes sense. this is where i go. the owner does the threading and she is passionate about it! she has a facebook page too so you can see her work.

Benetint is not BC its like a liquid nail polish (of sorts). All others I've tried have been.

Revlon (I think) mousse blush (I'm probably screwing that up royally) is very light, whipped, goes on almost powdery, and it's shimmery.
