Over the past few years whenever I try to wear make up my eyes water and run for hours. After I take my make up off my eye lids are sore. The last one I tried was Almay. I’ve also tried Stila waterproof eyeliner and Bobbie Brown eyeshadow. Do you know what else I can try or what I should do about this. I really need eye make up because, I have very dark circles and once in a while I just want to look pretty. I don’t want to keep wasting money trying new cosmetics out. Any suggestions?

Hello, Victoria. I would like advice on my eyeliner. When I wear eyeliner (and its a khol pencil) it gets onto the crease of my eyelid (when I’m wearing eyeshadow or not). How do I make sure the eyeliner doesn’t do this? Could concealer help? What else could I use besides concealer/foundation?

I am 6’0 tall and slinder however due to a very diffcult pregnancy I now have horrible stretch marks. Is there a way to cover them with make up? If so what products do would you suggest?

Hi Victoria! I have my first formal dance coming up in June (I’m 14) and I’m wondering what type of eye shadow I should use. My dress is blue, my accessories silver, and I have blonde hair, blue eyes, and fair skin. I want to go easy on the make-up, so I’m just wearing some foundation, pressed powder, and mascara. But I also want to wear eye shadow so I was wondering 1.) what the best color for me would be 2.)what brand you would suggest (I can’t get anything too expensive, something in the CoverGirl range) and 3.) the best way to apply it. Thanks!

Hi Victoria

I am a big fan of bronzer & have always bought the Estee Lauder (natural fibre) bronzer brush.
Yesterday I went into my pharmacy advising I was looking for something non synthetic, but cheaper than Estee Lauder.
I walked out with a gorgeous soft Elizabeth Arden brush .. but when I got home found the packaging said it was synthetic.
I’m not sure if I should take it back.
Why are natural fibred brushes better than synthetic?
Do you think I would be happy with the Eliz Arden bronzer brush?

Hi Sami,

Going to a makeup school is a great idea, it could be a good place to network and of course, perfect your skills.

I do think, however, getting an experience in a big city like LA (which is close to Phoenix) or New York, will open your doors into ond day doing makeup for celebrities. Sometimes you need to be where it’s at.

You need to make a decision to how far you want to go with your dream to become a makeup artist. Remember, there is nothing in this world you cannot do!!! You just need to do it, do whatever it takes, and never give up:)

This is just my humble opinion….good luck with everything…and keep us posted:)

Hi, I’m 19 years old and for as long as I can remember I have been interested in all aspects of make-up. I would love to become a make-up artist but am not sure how to start pursuing that as a career. I have investigated some schools in my area, I live in Phoenix. Some people have told me to try and become an apprentice that I don’t need to go to school. Others have said absolutley go to school. Would love for any kind of avvice that you would be able to give me. I’am checking into the Arizona Skin and Make-up Institute in Glendale Az. I so appreciate your time .
