Hi IMBB beauties,
I got a Rs.5000/- gift voucher for the valentine’s day & like anyone here I want to spend it on makeup. I am planning for the entire makeover, so please help me with my shopping.
I have a normal to oily combination skin with very light dark circles & open pores. I have uneven skin tone(wheatish to fair) & I have slightly high cheek bones.
Please mix & match from brands like Mac, Maxfactor, Maybeline, Chambor, Oriflame, Lakme, Bourjois, revlon. Like if you have Rs.5000/- in hand & you want the entire makeup makeover what will you buy/suggest?
Note: Foundation / eyeshadow is not a regular thing with me now, its like 3-5 times a month.
1.Primer / Base – (i never had this)
2.Foundation – (i was using Maybelline one from Uk & its not available here.)
3.Concealer – (never required this till now)
4.Eyeshadow – (have a green pallete from Oriflame)
5.Blush – never used one
6.Eyeliner – (have Lakme eye artist, Oriflame Stylo in green & brown, Lakme liquid liner)
7.Mascara – (have colorbar duo)
8.Lipstick – (have few in pinks & browns, want some more)
9.Brushes – (i have Revlon travel set gifted, been 2 years so want a change it,
I know I am asking too many for 5000/-khikhikhi..
Luv,
Veda

i got it lst week jomol..have used it once… i find it decent… 🙂
Eyeliner – Maybelline gel liner? It looked super dark black and the Loreal gel liner – brown – it’s very beautiful – is not plain brown..it has some golden tint to it and it’s really really pretty.
And the NYX palette eyeshadow has some very pretty wearable colours.
hi..i use the same one too..but if i want a thicker line shud I be opting for another..like Colorbar perhaps..this lady in my office was wearing Elle 18 and that looked good too..what wud you, Rati or anyone on this list recommend?
MAC Foundation – go there and SWATCH SWATCH AND SWATCH till you find your right match. Buy a good blush, this is even more imp than e/s which you can skip, try maybelline, loreal, Bourjois, INGLOT or MAC. Get a gel liner like MAC, Maybelline or Loreal in black and brown, Maybelline or INGLOT mascara, bourjois lipsticks/lipcremes, or even INGLOT… 😀 😀 😀 pick 3-4 must have items and focus on them…like 1 awesome lipstick, 1 awesome foundation, 1 blush types
Hi Veda,
If you invest in a MAC foundation. it’ll take up a sizeable chunk of the 5000. If you are very keen on MAC, go for MAC or else go for Revlon, Maxfactor or Bourjois.
Primer- I’ve only tried MAC but I use it very rarely. Haven’t used in enough to recommend.
Foundation- MAC (higher end), Revlon Colorstay/Maxfactor/Bourjois
Blush- Colorbar (Just Earth and Fuchsia @ Rs 250 each)- good quality at very affordable price. It also has 15% off right now.
Eye pencils- Bourjois Kohl n Contour(Rs 240 each), Chambor dazzle( Rs 445) , Colorbar I-glide (Rs 325)
Lipstick- Chambor Silk Touch/Powder matte, Revlon Colorburst, Superlustrous,Matte, Maybelline Color sensational, Moisture Extreme.
Eyeshadow- A basic one with browns/gold/copper – Revlon colorstay
Eye liner- Maybelline gel liner
Brush- i use Vega blush brush and faces eye shadow brush. They are cheap and not the best but they work fine for me.
Primer / Base – maybelline
2.Foundation – loreal true match, chambor 3-in-1 palette
3.Concealer – no idea!!!
4.Eyeshadow – coastal scents, revlon eye shadow brick tht consists of 4 shades(it is awesome!!!)
5.Blush – VOV blush palette(i have it) or maybelline
6.Eyeliner – chambor, maybelline
7.Mascara – maybelline colossal xpress volum. it is awesome!
8.Lipstick – maybelline, chambor
9.Brushes-Vega brushes. they are not costly and a set of 8-9 brushes is for rs390 or something. the brushes are very good for the price you pay!!
Maybelline seems to be a popular choice for eyeliner (which I am using as well now :whistle: ) but i am constantly looking for an eyeliner for some reason and thats becos i see many women wear their eyeliner pretty thick and they look pretty nice too..well defined and they bring out the eyes..is there another eyeliner I shud be using if i want it to be a slightly thicker line?
I have heard good things about Elle 18..have any of you tried it?
aruna you may check out colorbar i glide pencils. They are pretty goos and you may may thick lines with it. 🙂
Thanks Rati..will be doing that..I have a H&G near my place. Shud get it there I assume
I have no idea about H & G. We dont have these stores in Delhi. :((
oh ok..no issues..will get it somehow now that I am determined 🙂 🙂 ..appreciate your help..
