Do you have a special way you apply your makeup? I try to experiment with my eyeliner by making interesting designs and blending colors... how about you? What kind of foundation do you use the most? My favorite is the mousse it feels so soft and silky ^_^ I would like to try mineral foundation but im not sure the coverage would be as good... any tips?

I just usually do my makeup the same way every time. Of course I may use different eye shadows or lipsticks and lipglosses on different days.
First I will moisturize and/or use a primer on my face. Then I do my foundation and sometimes concealer. Next I do my eyeshadow. Then I will apply the blush. Afer that I do my eyeliner, then mascara. Lastly I apply my lipstick or lipgloss. I don't know why I do things in that order but that is how I always have so I've stuck with it.
I tend to use liquid or cream type foundations. I also have mouse foundation but sometimes it looks to heavy to me. I have bought about three different brands of mineral foundations before but with each one I don't get the results that I want. I think mineral foundation is best for people with perfect skin tones with smooth skin and no large pores or wrinkles. So since I have large pores and some wrinkles the minerals seem to make the pores and wrinkles stand out even more. So I basically gave up on the minerals.

ah see that's what i was afraid of I also have large pores =[ so I figured I probably wouldn't get that great of coverage. Thanks for posting!

Even I want to try mineral foundation as it would be best for the skin. Usually, I like applying kajal and would try out different colors in that brown or blue or dazzling ones, so also with eyeliner. Of course I mostly highlight my eyes with Different shades or glossy and leave my lips simple.

thats the way i do mine to usually just put gloss on my lips instead of heavy makeup but i haven't set that rule in stone yet. I've seen some pretty pink that I wanna try... I've seen some good results when you put the lipstick on then the gloss to enhance the shimmer instead of just adding the lip color ^_^
thanks for posting!

Youre right my sister says that mineral makeup does not do as much for coverage its just like applying powder nothing really changes it just equalizes your tone but its limitation ends there/. Have you heard of BB creams they are really good for the skin and have the best coverage , try reviewing them and checking them out on youtube .
