let\'s start a seperate topic for the makeup here!!

Kaori,

Is there a trick to not making your eyeliner smudge? I use pencil and it always smears!! Help! Thank you

Hi Kaori,

I want to buy new full kit of make up brushes but I don\'t feel like spending too much on them. Can you give me idea where can I buy them with a reasonable price and good quality. Thank you so much.

i\'m not kaori..

but i read on reviews and stuff that quo make-up brushes are good, you can get \"quo\" stuff at shoppers drug mart.

either that or MAC brushes, which is more expensive.

not kaori either...but the MAC brushes are always best to buy during the holidays..in octoberish they start selling their xmas mini brush sets for like $60 with 6 or so brushes in it and a pretty case! the only difference from those brushes and their regular ones is the size...but who cares bout the handle size smaller is better to use n e way and u can carry it..i got one this year but they sell out within a week i had to call every single MAC for it..and the other bummer you\'d have to wait till next october! :ohmy:

Hi coco,

For innexpensive high qualitly brushes try The Body Shop. Their brushes are made of grade A synthentic hairs that will last you years and years if properly taken care of.

If you want to splurge, then MAC has nice brushes as well.

I love the makeup brushes from The Body Shop. They are the softest makeup brushes I\'ve ever felt!!:kiss:

Thank you for all the tips you all. Wishing you have a great New Year.

Hey Kaori,

Where do you do makeup? I was wondering where I should go to learn how to apply eye makeup well... I went to Holt Renfrew to get my eye makeup done, but I just can\'t seem to get the same effect.

Hi Rachel,

I went to Blanche Macdonald and took the esthetics course which also covers makeup.

You can go to any of the cosmetics counters and ask if they can teach you how to apply eye makeup. I know that if you go to clinique, they will be more than happy to do your eyes for you. Just ask them to explain what they are doing so you can try it out at home.

Another good way to learn is from makeup books. They often teach you step by step and also teach you about shading and the different shapes of eyes and what colors to use.

I hope this helps =)

If I go to Clinique and ask them to do make up for without buying anything, is this ok?

I was wondering wut is the best technique to put on mascara?? I always put it on and it clumps and I also want to make it really volumized….but it never ends up that way.
