physician's formula / clinique / mascara / affording makeup
a couple of questions...
1. PHYSICIAN'S FORMULA. apparently there are a lot of people that love their products. i'm mainly looking into a nice concealer (mainly for undereye circles). any recommendations? i'm trying to decide between the beauty spiral perfecting compact concealer, the gentle cover cream concealer and the concealRX physician's strength concealer. i know yellow is for undereye circles and green is for red blemishes, but would you think that it would be better to use a concealer that matches my skintone instead of green or yellow? i'm so bad when it comes to trying to find a concealer to match my skin. i don't wear foundation.
2. another physician's formula question....i've heard really good things about the face aid skin controlling powder. has anyone ever used this? (preferrably the green one) what it's like? i normally don't use powder but i have blemishes that would like to cover / help heal throughout the day. my skin is usually combo but my cheeks (by my nose) are always drier than other parts of my face, so when i put powder there (and unfortunately i break out there too), the powder accentuates the dry patches on my skin.
3. since i don't wear foundation, i was thinking about opting for a tinted moisturizer to get some coverage. has anyone ever tried Clinique's sheer moisture tint SPF 15? i also heard good things about the Stila TM as well so i can't decide between the two, but they're both pretty pricey so don't know if want to shell out that much money for them.
4. mascara. currently i use CoverGirl's VolumeExact which i love. i'll admit it doesn't really do much in terms of volume but it gives more "oomph" than LashExact does. i love the brush, too - very little to no clumps and the stuff doesn't flake. however, i'm looking for something with a little more drama, preferrably drugstore brand. i tried CoverGirl's new LashBlast mascara which didn't impress me at all...imo it was just like LashExact and the brush is ridiculously huge. i've also tried L'Oreal's Voluminous mascara and i wasn't impressed with it at all! maybe i didn't apply enough or something but it did NOTHING in terms of volume. i was thinking of the following:
+ Maybelline Full 'N Soft
+ Maybelline Volum' Express
+ CoverGirl Fantastic Lash
+ L'Oreal Full Definition Voluminous (gold tube...it's probably just like Voluminous but i don't know)
+ Rimmel Volume Flash
+ Max Factor 2000 Calorie
+ Revlon Fabulash
+ Revlon 3D Extreme
any ideas? any help would be appreciated! =)
thanks everyone! ♥
