I *think* it was you that told me about the Stilla bb cream. I bought some yesterday and am very excited to try it tomorrow. Do you have any bronzer recommendations? I seriously love makeup. It's probably a good thing Sephora is an hour away.

It was not me, but I am glad you asked, because I do have bronzer recs. My current favorite is Tarte's Park Avenue Princess, and of course I love the cult favorite Nars Laguna.
Others that I love Too faced Sun bunny and chocolate soleil Hoola by benefit

I have odd skin. It seems to look dark but is rather fair. I can't get a good concealer from Mac since I'm between shades there. I really want to get a concealer palette when u get to the city next.

I would probably recommend Hoola by benefit and Tarte park avenue princess. They look good on a variety of tones. I love them both. Hoola is a bit lighter, but they are both great.
Concealer can be tricky. Are you looking for blemish control, red spots, or under eye?

***butting in...I have had good luck with the NYC bronzer in "Sunny" - it's a cheap drugstore product but it's matte, has good color payoff and lasts all day. Works for me

I remember checking out that bronzer because of the pretty packaging. The only downside is that I like using my brushes and wouldn't be able to use it with the boxed bronzer. Does the brush that comes with it work well?
I need concealer for my raccoon eyes. Right now I use a tinted moisturizer product, sometimes apply Nars primer, apply concealer, then set with powder. By noon it's started to fade and by the end of the day I look like I was punched in the face. I think its a combination of my allergies/genetics/and long eye lashes that touch the area.
I like to splurge too - I have a pretty big eyeshadow collection of expensive brands. But I love a good drugstore product if it's actually decent quality!

I have theirs and don't mind it, but find it fade fast on my skin, or looks a bit caked on by the afternoon if my face gets a bit oily. I have a hatred for my skin for making makeup difficult!
I have really dry skin so I don't find it fades. I also set with powder - actually, also a cheap drugstore product! The Rimmel stay matte I think it''s called?

I do NOT use that stupid brush. lol I use my sigma and MAC brushes for that. Same goes for the tarte.
I use two products one is benefits fake up and the other is maybelline age rewind in color illuminator
The maybelline age rewind is one of the few drug store products I swear by. I use the fake up first, and then maybelline over it to brighten

I have the Maybelline and it was ok, but nothing I was too excited over. I'll have to check the fake up out. Do you follow any makeup artists on Instagram? One has a pic showing contouring and I would love to learn how to do that.
I'm relieved to see you don't use the crappy brush! I didn't want to make you feel bad and say that I almost always throw them out ASAP. I think the only applicator product I've kept is the Benefit Dr Goodfeel primer sponge.

Haha no, I never use brushes that come with things. I don't even know why they bother. How about sell it without the brush and drop the price a couple of bucks? lol
I follow logs of "make up gurus" I watch a crazy amount of videos on youtube too. I love leighannsays, makeupbytiffanyd, makeupbyali, shaanxo, shadesofkassie. The list goes on and on
For the record, I only use the maybelline to illuminate, and the benefit conceals. I thankfully don't have too dark of circles, but i do have stupid redness on my cheeks, so I have other issues. lol

I follow dressyourface. I think it's also on YouTube. I'm always in aw of her makeup skills. I really want to take a course on how to apply make up better.
