[mominatrix]

Age range I'm 46.

Skin tone and undertones (fair with cool undertones, olive with neutral, etc.)
I have light skin but I'm never sure of my undertones. I think it's cool sometimes and warm others.

Skin type (oily, combination, normal, dry)
Mostly dry, some normal.

Skin concerns (wrinkles, acne, large pores, etc.)
Redness. Redness. Large pores. Redness. And I'm getting old lady neck and I don't think there's anythng to do about it except always be looking upwards.



And products you use and would recommend for

Face (primer, foundation, powder, BB/CC cream, concealer, etc.)
My favorite foundation is Chanel Aquawhatever, but it's spendy. I've had good luck with TM's and BB/CC's of any random variety. Also Milani Multitasker (which is a face powder) is a good friend of mine - you can use it as a setting powder or in lieu of foundation. 

I've been using the Laneige moisturizers, etc, from Target and they're amazing. They're making a difference with redness and making my face feel so much better.


Bronzer/Blush/Highlighter
OMG - Go Out Right Now And Buy This - Wet n Wild in Reserve Your Cabana, it's titularly a bronzer, but really the best highlighter ever. And it's like $3. It'll make you look pretty.

Wet n Wild's blushes are also utterly amazing. As are elf's.


Eye shadow
I play with all kinds and I've learned that how much you pay for eyeshadow doesn't necessarily translate to how good it is. 

For everyday quickness, I love cream eyeshadows. One sweep and you're done. Maybelline Color Tattoos, elf Smudge Pots and Loreal Infinity are all great.

Other shadows I love  - Wet n Wild, UD, Smashbox, Sleek (it's a British drugstore brand, you have to get mailed to you here, but they're fantastic).


Eye liner
Wet n Wild's Kohl pencils are the BOMB. They're great.
Right now I have a bottle of the WnW and elf liquid liners and I'm kind of doing a comparison. The WnW is more matte and seems to stay on better. 

Mascara
Another area where money doesn't translate into quality. Jordana is great, but hard to find. Essence waterproof is amazing. My favorite everyday is Stila Major Lash (NOT Major Major Lash) and is findable at Nordstrom Rack for about $6.  I also have a tendency to use clear mascara over whatever I'm using and it's helped a lot - - eliminates clumpiness and makes everything look a lot better.

Brows
I don't do much to mine, they're thick and heavy as it is. I use a pencil I got from Daiso (Asian dollar store and elf or WnW clear gel).

Lips
So many lips that I love. Chanel. MAC. WnW $1 lipsticks are fantastic; their $3 long lasting ones are amazing too. Revlon Colorburst Lip Butters... the list goes on and on.

[sequins]

Age range - 28
Skin tone and undertones - Tan skin with neutral undertones. Not yellow.
Skin type - Combination. Oily t zone, dry cheeks.
Skin concerns - Uneven pigmentation. Sensitive.

And products you use and would recommend for

Face Benefit porefessional, Nars radiant creamy concealer, Revlon HD stick concealer.
Bronzer/Blush/Highlighter Bronzers look like dirt on my face I love deeper blushes in coral and dark pink.
Eye shadow - Nyx and UD palettes work great on my skin tone. I'm restricted a bit because the Naked palettes have so much shimmer and I tend to stay away from shimmer.
Eye liner - HG mechanical gel liner and Kat Von D tattoo liner. HOLYGRAIL.
Mascara - Benefit rollerball
Brows - WnW eyebrow palette. Also like the smashbox browtech to go.
Lips - Lots of drugstore. My favorites are Revlon matte lip stain in Sultry, Maybelline colorsensational vivids in fuchsia, Revlon lip butter in pink truffle.

[omgzombies]

Age range:  Early 30's
Skin tone and undertones:  Pasty pale, I think with warm undertones?  I honestly have no ideaThis is just guess work on my part.
Skin type (oily, combination, normal, dry):  Again, I'm clueless, uhhh.... normal, combination, dry?  I'm pretty sure not oily.  
Skin concerns (wrinkles, acne, large pores, etc.):  I get redness on my cheeks on occassion, maybe light rosacea, I've never seen a dermatologist, so again I'm not sure.  Starting to get some wrinkles, but I've decided to not be concerned about them.

And products you use and would recommend for

Face:
    BB cream:  Garnier BB Cream, decent coverage, and seems to last
    Foundation:  Hourglass Immaculate Liquid Powder, expensive but goes on like a dream.  HG product.

Bronzer/Blush/Highlighter:
    Blush:  I like NARS, but I'm using ELF right now, not too expensive and decent pigment.  The Tarte Cheek Stains are nice too, but I have to be careful with them or I get     clown face.

Eye shadow:  
    Chocolate Bar is hands down my favorite palette, the Salted Caramel color looks great on me.  I like the Two Faced palettes in general because they have the little cards     that explain how to put everything together.
    My favorite brow highlighter is actually part of the Maybelline Quad Irresistably Ivy.   

Eye liner:  
    Urban Decay 24/7 pencils, I have the easiest time with these, and I'm horrific at putting on eyeliner.

Mascara:  
    The pink and green tube, I've tried other stuff out there, the Too Faced, and a few other drug stores, I'm meh on all of them.  

Brows:  
    I just use Naked Basic dark brown to do some light filling in.  

Lips:  
    My go to for color is Stila Glosses, they stay on fairly well.  I also really like the Urban Decay gloss and lip stick in Naked.  It gives my lips a nice natural glow-ey color     to them.  

[parisinthespring]

Age range
Mid-30's
Skin tone and undertones (fair with cool undertones, olive with neutral, etc.)
 Fair, with pink undertones 
Skin type (oily, combination, normal, dry)
Combo. I have an oddly dry t-zone with oily cheeks/jawline
Skin concerns (wrinkles, acne, large pores, etc.)
All of them? The lines in my forehead need to go. Occasional break outs, uneven tone. Uneven tone and hyper-pigmentation are probably my biggest concerns on a daily basis. 


And products you use and would recommend for



Face (primer, foundation, powder, BB/CC cream, concealer, etc.)
I have been loving Dior Sculpt concealer, but they changed the formula last year, and I haven't tried the new version. In the last three months i have gotten hooked on Rimmel Lasting Wear foundation. YSL blush in Heart of Light is a current favorite. 
Bronzer/Blush/Highlighter
 I am really enjoying the #instamarc palette in soft pink/medium bronze
Eye shadow
 No favorites. I go back and forth on this too much to pick a favorite. 
Eye liner
 Julep Gel Eye Glider-Really easy to use and has great staying power. 
Mascara
Whatever is on sale? I can't get into mascara. I feel like it all is great for a week and then dries out. The MUFE Smoky Extravagant one is pretty decent. Normally I just pick up whatever Rimmel is on sale. 
Brows
-I have been using the Anastasia Duo in Medium brown, but I am ready for a change. 
Lips Lately i have been a bit lipstick crazy. I LOVE the color of Marc Jacobs Kiss POP in Headliner, but it doesn't have great staying power. It's my favorite color though (at the moment). I also really like Dior Addict Fluid Stick in Wonderland.

[runaways]

I'm at the verrrry tail end of my 20s.
Skin is very fair with cool undertones and lots of freckles.
I guess my skin type is combination...it used to be really dry but I seem to get a little shiny in the afternoons now.
I don't have a lot of skin concerns at the moment but I'm sure that's going to change soon so I'm paying attention to everyone else's.


Face:
tarte bb primer is amazing
I've used Laura Mercier TM and I like it, but I just keep on wanting to love it and I can't quite get there; I don't think it's better enough than others to be worth the price
Hourglass Dim Light for all over powder
tarte smooth operator is nice for finishing, I like it best as a refresher later in the day

Bronzer/Blush/Highlighter:
my favorite blushes on me are tarte exposed, Benefit Lollitint, and Smashbox Blush Rush in Paradise (which I think is a dupe for Orgasm)
Too Faced Milk Chocolate Soleil bronzer
Mary Lou Manizer highlighter

Eye shadow:
if I had to pick one line it would be Too Faced, I think the formula is the most consistently good - I have chocolate bar and pretty rebel
my one NARS duo is nice but kind of pricey for what it is

Eye liner:
Bobbi Brown gel liner and Marc Jacobs pencil liner...I don't know if I'll ever stray from these again

Mascara:
still looking
I like tarte gifted and the regular Buxom right now and the Bobbi Brown smoky eye is really nice but I refuse to pay that much for a full size tube

Brows:
I use the tarte brow mousse in medium brown with a light dusting of a dark brown Almay shadow (Hot fudge) on top

Lips:
MAC Candy Yum Yum
NARS Orgasm gloss
NARS Heat Wave and Funny Face - love them both
Bite neutral duo for a good nude
