Longer Eyelashes

I have always wished for longer, fuller eyelashes ... and now there are products that claim to give results in just a few months.  Below are a couple of products I have heard of ... If you have tried any of these or any others not mentioned please post a comment and let's discuss ... Is this legit or just a big hoax?? 

Latisse (available with a prescription)

Revlon Grow Luscious Mascara 

Grow them naturally with Vitamins and Petroleum Jelly

Liquid Eyeliner

I've always been biased towards black liquid eyeliner... its that one product for my brown skin that I can't do without.  My current favorite is:

Urban Decay Liquid Liner in Perversion

Why I love it: 

-very black
-goes over eyeshadow perfectly
-the brush is really pointy and stiff which makes winging out so fast and easy
-doesn't irritate my eyes at all 

my only issue with it:
-liquid has a thinner consistency which means you have to go over the line maybe twice 

What is your favorite Liquid Eyeliner?

Tinted Moisturizer

Just like foundation, its hard to find the right tinted moisturizer ... something not too pink, too dark, or too light.  Personally I tried it for the first time last summer ... I went with Tarte Cosmetics:

smooth operator tinted moisturizer: 

oil-free tinted moisturizer with SPF 20 in Incognito

 

This was good for my tanned summertime skin, lightweight, but with enough coverage.

Note: just checked Tarte's website... looks like they changed the names of the TM's not sure what color I am now...

On the hunt for a good TM ... what's worked for you??

Under Eye Concealer

Finding the right under eye concealer is a huge challenge for brown skin.  Those dark circles, for some of us, can be several shades darker than the rest of the skin.  Most concealers leave that area looking ashy or way too light.  I know that a lot of makeup artists recommend using a pink/salmon color corrector underneath concealer to cancel out the blue under the eyes, but speaking for myself that area is dark brown rather than bluish so most correctors leave an unwanted orange/ashy hue.  Or it may look good in the mirror but in pictures it looks way too heavy and white under the eyes.  What has worked for you?  I'm on the hunt for the best under eye concealer!
