Re: Just diagnosed-makeup question

[Guest guest]

I got these recommendations for make-up from Barbara Strickland of Sage Skin

Care (zerozits.com)

Revlon " ColorStay " compact--I think about $13/14, but goes on very nicely

and looks natural

L'Oreal " ColorEndure " liquid make-up--seems to go on somewhat " gloppy " so I

didn't buy

Bath and Body " ComplexionPerfection " make-up

Also, Almay has a concealer that is supposed to be good

The above products, according to Barbara, are not supposed to be pimple

fertilizers!

Plenty of color choice, from what I saw

Hope this helps,

Carol

,

I'm very gratified to hear that someone else in our group has tried the

ColorStay compact foundation and is happy with it. My skin is looking

better, and when I cleanse in the evening, my face isn't blotchier and

bumpier. I thought the compact was sort of weird at first, and couldn't

figure out how to " work it " -- I guess I'm a make-up dummie; I am now

getting used to using a sponge to apply the stuff with and dabbing the

sponge onto that mesh thing (strainer?) that's over the make-up in the

compact.. This stuff is great! It goes on beautifully, naturally, easily

and stays on--most of all, it doesn't seem to be pimple fertilizer!

PS--have you tried their compact blush? I saw it, read the label, and it

seems to have similar, but not the same, ingredient listing?
