JN & Friends Comprehensive Beauty List: Project Eyes
Mascara
Maybelline Great Lash Mascara got several nods as being a great choice.
Cover Girl’s new “Lash Exact”, says Whiskeymarie, “rocks,” and several others agreed. Beth says it’s “revolutionary.”
Lancome Defincils Mascara got several nods and Jen says “all the hype is deserved,” and “once it dries it doesn’t clump or flake or smudge or anything; it stays put even through a good hard cry.” Most important, though, she says “it washes off fine with soap and water.” Note: this mascara has won the Allure Beauty Award, is in the Allure Beauty Award Hall of Fame and has also won the 2006 Glam.com Beauty Award. My God. I want this.
Prescriptives “False Eyelashes” mascara is, according to Melina, “the single best stuff out there.”
Neutrogena Full Volume Fortifying Mascara
Blinc “Kiss Me” Mascara. Thanks, Jamie!
Lancome Hypnose Mascara. Daisies and I both agree on this one.
Dior Show Mascara
Borjeouis Coup de Theatre Bronze Romanesque mascara.
Too Faced Lash Injection Mascara
Eye Liner (Liquid)
M.A.C. Fluidline
Lancome Le Crayon Kohl. Kateastrophe suggested it first, but in providing the link I found that it’s also another winner of the Allure Best of Beauty Award.
Eye Liner Pots (Eyeliner Brush is mandatory)
Bare Escentuals i.d. bareMinerals Liner Shadow – according to Julie, it “stays on for days.”
Too many people to keep track of agree: STILA SMUDGE POTS GEL EYELINER. A must-have. I’m blonde and fair skinned, but I can do either black or brown. You build it up, so you have total control over how it looks and how much goes on. Definitely a must-have. It’s agreed: you cannot NOT have this product.
Eye Liner (Non-Liquid)
Sue Devitt Eye Intensifier Pencil. Borneochica says these are the “best eye pencils ever.”
M.A.C. Powerpoint Eye Pencil. Beth loves this in “Buried Treasure.”
Benefit Pencil Eyeliner, recommended by Jamie.
Elizabeth Arden Color Intrigue Liner, so says Paisley.
Eye Shadow
Overall, Stila gets the most votes for all-around best eye shadow.
Paula Dorf Eye Color Glimmer (Borneochica recommends “Gold Digger”)
Elizabeth Arden Color Intrigue Eye Shadow, says Paisley, is the best. Daisies agrees, too.
M.A.C. Eye Shadow in “Print,” says Meg, is the “best smoky eye starter.”
M.A.C. Eye Shadow in “Phloof,” says Meg, “lights up the corners of [her] eyes.”
Meg also recommends Bourgeois eye shadows.
Almay Personalized Eye Color Shadow
Eye Shadow Primer
Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion. Margot says, “it dabs on like cover up and your eye makeup will not smudge, smear or crease AT ALL.” She has self-described “greasy-ass skin,” too. ;) Jamie approves, too!
Eye/Under Eye Brightener
DHC’s “Eye Bright,” described by Painting Chef as “instantly shrink[ing] puffiness under [her] eyes.”
Smashbox Photo Op Under Eye Brightener. This stuff is amazing and I’m forever indebted.
Eye Care
Neutrogena Healthy Defense Daily Eye Cream, SPF 30
DHC Intensive Eye Care Cream. Another vote for DHC, recommended by Jamie!
Stila Petal Infusions Eye Makeup Dissolver “are little, individual wipes that make you feel so refreshed when you’re cleaning off your face,” says Ripe.
Brows
Anastasia Nu-Brow, a “nutrient gel that promotes hair growth…it actually works,” says Diamond Lil.
Stila Brow Polish Mascara Gel Sourcils. Nabbalicious says it’s for those with sparse eyebrows, and “it fills them in just enough.” $10!
Benefit Brow Zings. Page notes, “brow wax, brow shader, brushes and tweezers all in one kit – kick ass!”
