I have spent, like most women, an inordinate amount of money on makeup, trying to find just the right products. I had to concur with this posting and the message is simple: stop buying crap just because it's on sale. Take the time to speak to an expert. Ask lots of questions. Try the products in the store, then try them at home. Buy products with quality ingredients because they are on your face all day (maybe that's not on everyone's priority list, but I'm allergic to pretty much everything. I use Aveda rather faithfully and am starting to branch out, but it's hard living in tiny D town because I have to make a note to stop at the bigger stores when I'm out of town. Origins, which I learned is owned by Estee Lauder, is fitting the bill for me now. Two products in particular, this one, and Fill In The Blanks™ Eyebrow enhancer are really great for someone who wants polished brows but while still making it less noticeable. Beware: you'll want to select colors MUCH lighter than you think: I use Blonde and Soft Blonde--you don't want to end up looking like Joan Crawford. Start with the enhancer (the salesperson told me to fill in my brows in the opposite direction) and then smooth the brows, and finish with the color (it looks like a mascara tube).
