I find LM's tinted moisturizer to bee too greasy on myself. Probably good if you have dry skin. She makes an oil free line that I think works a little better. I also like NARS pure radiant tinted moisturizer. Of all the ones I tried, I like Diorskin Nude BB Cream (pink tube) the best. Not too shiny. But it's a small…

Yeah, FAB and clinique. Clinique has some duds. (Their 3 step system is...interesting). But you're young enough that I think you don't need anything over the top right now anyway. Cleansers just get washed down the drain, so you don't need to spend much on them. Treatments/serums are where I'd spend my money,…

Not specifically for sensitive skin. Maybe Shiseido? Their SPFs are the bomb. Expensive, so I'd only use them on the face. But you should check ingredient lists for irritants.

So I would suggestion SOME sort of hydration under the concealer. I was working on a much older woman last week and when I used concealer under her eye, I was like, uh oh, this doesn't look so good. Then I used Tarte's Maracuja eye cream (because it was close by) under her other eye and then did the concealer and it…

Ooh, good question! Some of it is just preference, of course. Smashbox is always very "meh" to me, but they do have some workhorses. NARS also makes some hit and miss products. (Their eyeshadows are often chalky). Strivectin and Peter Thomas Roth can be SO over priced. Origins has never inspired me. I think a lot of…

I don't think Urban Decay stays on at all. I know some people swear by it, but it doesn't work for me in the waterline. Try Marc Jacobs. It's the only one that doesn't transfer from my upper tightline when I blink.

No. I mean, there are some people whose makeup is maybe over the top and totally not my taste, but you know what, I'm going to help them find whatever they want. One lady wanted a black ink eyeliner for her brows and I helped her find it. I also gently suggested she at least try a brown one too. :) Most people who…

Really? Even as a customer they were always nice about making samples. I think it's best to ask the person working in that "world" instead of the cashier. And before I was an employee, if they were all too busy, I would just make my own. Haha. Though don't ask for samples of blush or eyeshadow. I hate those people.…

I hate tubing mascara. I wish I had a golden answer for this, but if I did, there would be a million mascaras sold. I honestly think you have to work your way through as many as you can and narrow down what you like. For instance, I learned that I like more silicone/plastic bristles as opposed to the classic bristle-y…

Yeah, used items are destroyed. Sometimes I wish we could take them. Like we had a lady return a kit of Ole Henriksen items but had only used one thing from the kit, the others were still sealed, but no, it all gets destroyed. If something really hasn't been touched and is still sealed or whatever, it will go back on…

Ugh. I know. Hormonal acne is a concern for so many women, and the reality is that nothing over the counter is really going to do anything.

I don't know? I'm all over them as I get older. From what I know from my research is that the only things that decently work are Retinal (Vitamin A derivatives) and maybe Vitamin C for brightening, but both take a long time. Skin cells have to cycle out, so most things will never deliver instant results. Acid…

OH and sephora brand products - their blushes are basic and nice. Even their foundations and eyeliners are decent. (The Nano liners suck. They hurt on the eyelid. They're too hard.)

I think it's all bullshit. I HATE when people want me to recommend a cream, because I'll show them the ones that make claims, but mostly dark circles are lack of sleep or hereditary. Creams can't fix that.

Yeah. Return it. That's one of the great things is the return policy. Sensitive skin I struggle with. Again, I think FAB, Ole Henriksen and maybe Caudalie are good brands, but even FAB's cream contains eucalyptus oil which can be irritating. Good, basic, skincare is hard to find without SOMETHING irritating. Research…

I think you just need waterproof browns and blues? Try MUFE's Aqua range of eyeliners.

Ugh, I know. I always keep 1,000 around becuase last year they did a 1000 point perk for two full size Marc Jacobs lip prodects adn I keep waiting for them to do something that awesome again. But now if I see something I use on the regular (Marc Jacobs eyeliner was just a 100 pt perk) I grab it. I grabbed multiple…

Same here. Combo/oily. I like UD Naked bc it's lightweight but covers decently. I also use a beauty blender. I think it's the way to go. Try a setting spray for added hydration/remove powder finish.

Aren't they all under $100? Try Sephora Collection.

No, we don't get commission. Some days we have events and goals for those events. So if it's Benefit event day, I'm going to show you Benefit first. I've heard some people can be mean, but fortunately, I work with an awesome group of women. We're a smaller store, so we actually like each other and support each other.…
