My skin is terrible after giving up breat feeding - it's like I'm a teenager again. I haven't found any makeup that gives excellent coverage, but the better my skin the better makeup looks. I have just started using an organic cleanser, toner & scrub that is lovely - Jewell. It is definately improving things, and is evening out my skin tone. Got it at Shimi online boutique. It might help.
I bought some natio mineral foundation. It was only about $15 from what i can remember. Ive only used it once & it was pretty good. Doesnt feel all heavy on ur face iykwim. Ive never been a big make up person. But as i get older, i think i should at least know how to apply it & what colour work for me. I might go check out my local body shop next time im in town!
Depending on where you are in Australia, Aveda in melbourne (not sure if they are interstate) do a fantastic make up lesson.
It is a one on one lesson and goes for about an hour. They do have pretty expensive products but they are really lovely quality ones. The best thing is that it does give you a chance to try their products and.... you can use the cost of the lesson on products. Last time I looked it was $150 and that means you walk away with $150 of Aveda make up and a personalised make up lesson.
I found it really worthwhile and good for the self-esteem too!!
Mary Kay has really nice makeup, most of the products I use are theirs..includign the skin care routine which actually is more important than the makeup itself!
Why not get some girlfriends together and have a Mary Kay makeover party. they'll come, show you how to prepare your skin and apply, and then u get discounts for whatever your friends buy! Nutrimetics is another really good one like that too
Hey
I eventually went with Sheer Cover, I got their trial pack, and I LOVE it!!
I even got all their skin products too and they go hand in hand with the mineral make up.
Thanks for all your replies =)
Just a little tip I'd personally stay away from the counters unless its Mac or Napoleon, some of the other counters have HIDEOUS make up artists. Mecca has some great Make Up artists and they love plying you with makeup and showing you new tips. Benefit is also another brand that tends to have good Make up artists. For some reason YSL, Dior and Estee Lauder have always given me the worst make overs EVER.
