Mell . . . you may not be able to answer this question. but I'll try it out anyway. I seem to have an allergic reation to powdered eye makeup, especially since it will filter down into my eyes when I'm putting on and then throughout the day. Does the vaseline reduce enough to maybe remove that allergy reaction? How much vaseling? Clump on the brush, or just the tips of the brush, or in between? Very cool makeup tip, Mel!! I don't wear makeup very often . . . due to the allergic reaction, but also because of some limitations resulting from a car accident years ago. Putting on makeup was really painful for a long time. I got used to having a bald face. LOL! I know exactely what you mean about eye shadow bits going in your eye, it used to happen to me loads and make my eyes bright red and watery and then the time i had spent doing my makeup wouldnt matter becuase it would all be streaming down my face haha. Basically i hav a tin of vaseline, the aloe vera one, i get my eye shadow brush, which is a brush not like one of those cotton bud tip type ones, i run the brush over the vaseline so it looks wet, then i dip the tip of the brush into my powder (the mac pigment is a loose powder, not pressed, so if you are using an eye shadow that is compacted you mine want to "scratch" a bit loose so it becomes powdery, if that makes sense) i blow off any loose powder and then runthe tip of the brush along my eyelid, like you would with liquid, i will then put a bit more vaseline on the brush and repeat with the powder untill i had built up to the colour that i wanted. But if you dont want to risk it with powder then mac do a really nice product line of creme eye shadow, and shadow pots which are like a gel type of eye shadow. also they do a multitude of colour eye lines, and these dont budge, even with you use make up remover wipes (they do but only if you rub hard, not like if u gently wipe) i love them cos you can cry and the eye liner hasnt moved haha. heres MACs webiste www.maccosmetics.comwww.maccosmetics.co.ukbut they dont show all the colour ranges that they have. Your best bet is to scan ebay, thats where i get alot of my pigments and eye liners, I only go into the store to get things like foundations and powders as i prefer to match up to my skin rather than guess. Also,haha sorry!!, they do a great pressed powder/foundation. Studio Fix and studio Tech, it goes on like a powder but covers like foundation and its really light wearing, but covers lumps and bumps. Lala, if you wear pale foundation, such as i do, i could never find anything pale enough in the shops but mac go really pale, i think (off the top of my head) its NC15 and N3 & C2 are palest in the powder. Also they do a lipstick & Lipgloss that is like the colour of foundation, (you know so you dont look like them emo kids that actually smear a cover up stick on their lips) as i prefer my lips to look pale against my skin. il stop ranting now, check out the website and itl show you range of products. but if you see summmit you like, check for iton ebay and grab a bargain on there =]

haha innit, i used to be proper big on myspace and the amount of kids that would come up to me at gigs and stuff and be like omg its mel rockstar off myspace omg hi hi hi omg will you let me have a photo taken with you, it was crazy stuff lol. got me many a nice VIP and backstage pass to big gigs and events and met some very dishy rockstar men too yeh i find that with shop foundations i got orangey lines and i proper cant stand it, i just want a pale foundation with not tints of orange. but i know that dior and chanel do an even paler one so im going to see if i can get hold of that soon, i still havent found a foundation that suits me perfectly, like evenly and leaves no marks and looks mattes and pale.

They just used to annoy the hell out of me. My friend and me would go to a gig and there'd be no atomsphere or something because none of them would move or sing along The closest I ever came was the 17 mousse, it left a line BUT it was barely visible and it was super pale, can't remember what name the shade was properly LOL!

i have to go and get them re-done every 2or3 months though as, whe my hair grows, the extensions grow wih them. its a pain but i love it =]
I hate my hair short, i look like a boy hahaha.
my hair will go to platinum white pretty easily, i used to have it that light but have never managed to get it back to how it was after i went brown.
