Hi,
Tania I agree you should do a course but one that is unbiased i.e no affiliation with any particular brand. xxxx

The best thing I've learnt & apply in most areas of make up & fashion is that there are no rules...
'If u look like everyone else then u are everyone else'...
I agree that u shld be unbiased in ur decision when it comes to wot u want...afterall, to me, it is all about individuality & self confidence..
Feeding ur skin by Carla Oates has some great tips & tricks, which are natural, if natural is ur thing?!
Another book I enjoyed was The Power of Makeup by Trish McEvoy...unfortunately her website is still under construction.
I also had a look at kissandmakeup's website & I think it is just Brilliant!! ...it provides some great techniques to help u create different looks Meowrrr. BTW I love the brush set!!!! That's definately going in my makeup bag. :-))
I also have a personal shopper in the US who buys alot my products for me & ships them for free if purchases are over $140, this beats the ridiculous mark up Australia seems to have on most international products. I always research the product & how it works best for me by sampling the product first before buying.
Also check out strawberrynet.com which offers continual discounts & brilliant diversity in leading products...
These are some of my personal favs...there are stacks more sites just go to google.com.au & search wot topic/s u want to read about...that's if ur a computer person.
Vogue forum is also informative for different points of views about girly topics & has some great tips & tricks.
Im no make up artist or expert, my knowledge stems purely from books & websites & my willingness to explore without confinments.
Princessmillie you sound like u have alot of knowledge in the industry & I wld be very interested to see wot ur courses cld further offer me & my personal style, cld u possibly advise when & if u are coming to Perth. :-))
Sorry about the rant but...I grew up without my Mother in my teenage years & had to develop alot of my skills & techniques thru reading & observing...and of course, making some big disasters...the best makeup tip I always apply when doing my friends makeup is highlighting how beautiful they are. And just empowering them to believe in themselves.
With or without makeup, beauty comes from within!!!!

you're absolutely right - beauty does come from within.. just sometimes she needs a helping hand :P
i guess what i was looking for was a list of some ideas to help make you look your best even when you aren't feeling it, or when you need that little something extra to make yourself look better than you feel (like a job interview after a long night on the town!)
Thank you to everyone who responded!
Also, I'm not after trends, or other peoples makeup techniques. What I am after is those little things like using bronzer/darker shades on your cheeks to make it look like you have higher cheek bones.

Aaaaw i see... :-)) here's some I use:
Get a spoon & run it under cold tap water & place on ur eyes (shut) for an instant lift.
Eat heaps of pears...they seem to be magic for my skin!
Strawberry facials are always great before going out...tightens the skin...ensure to thoroughly wash strawberry or go for organic.
Dip ur eye brush in ur facial mist then ur eyeshadow for a more defined effect.
If u like mascara...apply it first...then ur eyeshadow...then apply another coat of mascara...
Blast ur eyelash curler with ur hair dryer to create a better effect.
Found these two in a recent Elle mag....Get lemon & squeeze thru ur hair & sit in the sun...this will bring out highlights...but is apparentley really bad for ur hair...so....to make my hair silky again...
Mix 2 eggs with 4 tablespoons of olive oil & wash hair with shampoo then apply mix & wrap hair in cling wrap for 20 mins....hair is ultra silky again.

there we go :D I really must comment on the egg-shampoo thing, it really really works! Also, a henna hair mask (made with organic henna, squeeze of lemon, coconut oil, water) left on for about an hour does wonders for brunettes. If you want to dye your hair, leave the henna on as long as you can (preferably overnight)
Post by MeowrrrDoes it really? It sounds bloody odd, but I'd be tempted to give it a go!

oh yes. Makes your hair all silky smooth. Make sure you rinse it out well and use enough shampoo to mask the eggy smell though
Hi Guys,
I've been reading your posts with interest. I hope you don't take this the wrong way these are just some helpful hints.
A lot of the natural solutions can unfortunately have adverse effects, always be careful. They can be quick fixes sometimes but think about what happens to your fruit and veges after a while even if you have them refridgerated ...they go off. So natural is not always best. There are so many toxins as well and alergies within fruit and veges. So unfortunately beauty editors write these things down without thinking of the consequences.

What about creme De la mer that miracle creme and fix anything,ANYTHING!!! Besides hello I live in India we are the birthplace of all ayuvedic or organic products so getting fresh stuff isnt really an issue here.
