  1. Hmm, I don't see the Shu eyebrow pencil, curler, or the sheseido brow pencil in the list- what was the color of the Shu pencil? Have you tried their w/p brow gel? :D

  3. Blysee - Updated! Thank you. And no, I haven't tried the WP brow gel because it's sold out every time I try to buy it.

    Juarez - I'll be filming an updated skin care video soon :)

  5. I would love to see a video on your holy grail foundations. What are your favorite foundations, liquid and powder. Which ones have you tried that you don't like? A foundations video would be wonderful!!

  6. i am trying to decide on what concealer to get to cover my blemishes, i was wondering what are your recommendations. I am thinking about getting the Laura Mercier Secret Camouflage or could there be something better? I would love to know your thoughts!! :)

  7. GlitzUp - Oh, no! I'm sorry to hear that :(

    Jowen - That video is coming in March :)

    Meledy - The LM Secret Camouflage is the best, just make sure to set with powder. You could also try Kat Von D's Tattoo concealer if you want a liquid formula!

  8. hi rae, what's your current skin tone? i'm a nw25 and i really want to get the guerlain meteorites but i'm not sure which shade i'd be :( thanks!

  9. Steph - I'm straddling the NC25/NC30 line. If you want to use it all over as a setting powder, go with 02 and add bronzer!

  10. I'd really like to get a liquid liner like Artliner of maybe even the one you used on your sister in your Chic and Casual look. What do you think would be best to start off with? I have a hard time with eyeliner in general because my lashes naturally curl right up and it's hard for me to draw a thin line on the lash line! Any tips for that? Thanks Rae!

  11. Alex - I definitely prefer the Artliner to the Hourglass liners I used on my sister! Try the Artliner or the Benefit Magic Ink liner! I would press a warm finger flat against the root of the lash, pressing them straight down. Then use a liner with a longer tip/brush and instead of trying to draw the line in one fell swoop, hold the liner straight out (keep the liner vertical against the horizontal plane of your eye) and draw the line in short strokes :)

  12. Hi I love love your reviews!! Just wondering I was looking into getting a bronzer instead of the chanel bronzer with the recommendation of the dolce and gabbana blush tan, but how about the dolce and gabbana glow bronzer? Was there an reason why u didn't prefer this one? Thaaaaanku:)
