Make-Up Shopping List Shopping, List

siuyudim

To all make-up pros and artists..please help..

I need to complete my shopping list for class and am looking for some advice on what to purchase. I get a student discount for Make Up For Ever, MAC, and Shoppers but am not limited to shopping at these stores. I would much prefer to purchase my items from the counters at the Bay. Please do share your recommendations.

I still need:

• sheer water-based liquid foundation (4 colours)
• loose powder (light and dark)
• liquid base concealer
• 3 blush colours (pink, peach, rosier colour)...I am looking to buy O-Glow from Smashbox but I obviously need some more too
• lipstick (red, natural, brown, pink)...I plan to get a sheer lipstick from Anna Sui, and have no idea of what other lipstick to buy. How is Nars?
• lip pencil...red, natural, brown, pink.
• black and brown eye pencil...i suppose a drug store brand will do? any preferences?
• eyelash curler...shiseido or shu uemura?
• metal palette

• shadow case, refill eye shadow...i already have an 88 colour palette, i think it will do?

Thank you.

I'm also looking for Cinema Secret Brush Cleaner.
A makeup artist from Taiwan's show,《女人我最大》, also recommended this Brush Cleaner too.
I really want to try it.  So, where in Vancouver can I purchase that?
Thank you!

since you're buying so much
you should consider going down to the states and buy them there instead?

i just totaled my receipts and I've spent $850.37 so far!!! $400 plus was from today alone. I was excited then but now I am so sad.

I even bought the YSL French Manicure pens one have you have mentioned, I will try it shortly after this post. (LYK is dangerous to my wallet when it comes to reading all the good stuff you guys share..)

I bought the eye pencils from MAC, the O-glow and Smashbox Photo Finish Primer's from SDM, and a ton from Make Up For Ever. I just noticed I got double charged for a palette when I got home. Hope they will credit me back. I already left a voice message on their machine.

i bought the brushes and train case from the person the instructor brought in, you are not required to purchase from them but i did because it is much more convenient...main reason is because it was a heck of a deal. the brushes are professional but are not branded. if i bought branded ones, it could easily cost me $500.

the discount i get is 20% off, and i believe it's 40% off the first time at mac? i don't remember...i haven't used any of the discounts yet because i am restricted to purchase from the downtown stores which i do not want to do.

for those who use make-up brushes? do you use brush-cleaner or just shampoo?

siuyudim, thanks for your info! I was reading the program description on the vcc website and it says that students are required to purchase a make up box and bushes ($130) the first day of class.... etc

For this spring (your class), you can purchase whichever brands/ or they still require you to purchase  certain brands for certain items? It's an investment for sure.. but I know some other make-up schools are 10x more expensive le.....

What's the discounts you get from Make up For Ever, Shoppers, and MAC?
