i have a two questions for you ladies today

1) whenever i apply concealer i cant get it to cover blemishes, because when i try to blend it into my foundation it uncovers them. also, when i apply blush on my cheeks, it seems to uncover/highlight the blemishes underneath. any ideas what i can do? when applying the concealer, would using a brush instead of my fingers help?

2) i would like to get a peachy lipgloss next. i like the colour of maybellines fruitylicious fruitgloss in peaches & cream, but it comes out way to sheer for it to look peachy on my lips. any suggestions for good ones? mac stila, etc.
also, any ideas for a peachy eyeshadow to go with it?

thanx

my fingers.. if i dont blend it though i have a white spot on my face and needless to say it looks weird, lol

[cottoncandy]

ah tap, i usualy wipe. ill try tapping next time. i do apply it after foundation. i dont use a powder at the moment, any suggestions?

and trisha, the woman who sold me the concealer at PX said it has to be lighter than your skin :-/

[cottoncandy]

ah ok, looks like im gonna have to get another concealer! thanks! any suggestions for the lippy?

[cottoncandy]

thanks does benefit lip plump actually plump your lips or just conceal their colour? i bought lip injection the other day, and i cant really put any colour over it cause its too sticky

if it has to be the same colour can i just dot on some foundation to cover it up? or do concealers have a different texture?

In response to the peachy eyeshadow request...
I don't know if you have the store Ulta in the UK... but if you do.. they have Ulta brand makeup there (inexpensive) and the eyeshadow called "Sunburst" is a shimmery peachy-golden color.

Also, Bare Escentuals' i.d. bare minerals has a peach eyeshadow called "Peach Puff" $12 on Sephora and Nars "Faith" eyeshadow is a peachy-gold also for around $20.

I also had a very hard time finding peach anything in my local drugstores ... but I finally found some good products from Mod Cosmetics! (www.modcosmetics.com) Their lipgloss in Sizzle is perfect -- Great peachy color, good pigmentation (not sheer), shiny, not too sticky .... For peach eyeshadows I really like Mod's eyeshadow pallette #i29 -- it has two peachy colors, a bright pink, a reddish-peach, and a weird light purple/gray that I haven't figured out what to do with yet, lol. You can see a picture here:

The shadows are fairly matte (but with just a hint of shimmer), but have wonderful pigmentation, better than any drugstore brand! :icon_love They recently raised their prices but they're still cheaper than Mac!

The blush problem.. I find myself having to wait for the foundation to 'dry' a bit, about 15 minutes or so. But if i'm in a hurry, I dab it lightly with tissues, but it doesn't look that great, really. but, the blush covers it up a bit so you really can't tell. Waiting is usually best, yeah.. just do your eye makeup and eyebrows or eat breakfast then continue doing your makeup or something.

for loose powders, you know i love Becca, and for pressed, im loving Stila Sheer Pressed, tho Px make a few nice powders too x

Yeah I think Trisha is right about using a slight tone darker concealer, because I always was used to use lighter concealers and it didn`t cover my dark circels good. But once I had tried a slight darker one, and it did look much better and more natural, then the lighter tone concealer!

I normally pat them instead of blending. Find that it covers better

Since my lips are quite pink , i use BeneFit lip plump (or you can use concealer) to cancel out the pink in my lips first, then i add the peachy gloss!

I totally agree with Trisha!! I love Stila's Peach, as an everyday light peach and Orange when I want a more bright tropical look!!! I think I'll have to try also Tangerine!!!

Ohh and my HG lipgloss Mac's Pink Lemonade, is not so peachy more pink I would say, but it's a bright shade, I wear it everyday and I love it!!! I tried once Fancy That, it's a more peachy terracota shade on my lips!
