makeup solution….

I have lots of great reviews coming up for all of you in the next couple of weeks, including a review of Del Lagrace Volcano and Ulrika Dahl’s new BEAUTIFUL book Femmes of Power: Exploding Queer Femininities which has not yet been released in the States and my copy came all the way from London! Now that i’ve gotten you all hot and bothered waiting for that review (I should have that posted by next week) I thought I’d give you a quick preview of one of my favorite new makeup finds.

I should preface this post by saying that I’m extremely uncoordinated. This means that despite my LOVE of wearing makeup the process of actually applying it often takes me a much longer time than other femmes I know *and* multiple attempts are often involved.  This has historically been especially true with things like liquid eyeliner. Shopping doesn’t solve most of the worlds problems, but this issue was resolved by a well placed $1.99 at the local drug store. Felt tip eyeliner has become my salvation!  With the exception of a couple favorite MAC lipsticks all the makeup I buy is cheap, and I wasn’t sure I really wanted to invest $2 on another eyeliner, but I’m so glad I did! The felt tip point gives me a lot more control and makes applying eyeliner like drawing which is something I have some coordination with. I also appreciate the lack of mess that accompanies this style of application, and have had significantly less smudging.

For those of you in search of the best drug store finds the brand I purchased was INCOLOR Fabu Liner  though I am confident there are multiple options in all price ranges available from different companies!
