Simple black and white makeup, what to buy?

[saphireSue]

I'm a white face and for me it's best to have both powders, the white will cover imperfectionsa nd really make the white more brighter, but can only be used on white as it will fade out other colors, the neutra will set the other colors, you can neutral for both, but if your going for the brighter white the whites bettter for it.

I agree with Sue. I use the neutra set for everything. But, I also use very little white makup.

But have anyone tried both mehron .and. ben nye clown white lite?
Anyhow, thanks, I guess I know what to get now. Must just decide if I should go for brush or pencils. :roll:

Still not sure where to get it though, the uk websites was ill, any good american ones that ship international?

[grkn]

Any difference between mehron and ben nye jumbo pencils?

Sooo:
8oz mehron clown white lite OR 2oz ben nye clown white lite (expensive!)
3oz superwhite powder
2oz neutral powder
Black jumbo sized pencil
Black lipcolor
pot of black creme color

Do I need a fine pencil?

[grkn]

I've found that http://www.ec-securehost.com/cgi-bin/WouldYouBelieve
has all the stuff I need, but the 2.5oz clown white lite is quite expensive at 13.50USD.

[grkn]

The problem is, where can I find all the things I need, and what should I get to not exceed my limit of 30usd excluding shipping (if I buy for more than that, I must pay 25% tax) This is hard.

Ok, now I've come up (with much help from Scruffy), a final? list of what to buy:

M6105 Mehron Clown White Lite 8 oz $9.00 ea. 1 $9.00
M618X Mehron ProPencil Jumbo-Black - M6186 $6.00 ea. 1 $6.00
M61XX Mehron Grease Color Cup .5 oz-Black - M6136 $2.95 ea. 1 $2.95
M6205 Mehron Pro Pencil Dual Sharpener $4.00 ea. 1 $4.00
M625X Mehron UltraFine Setting Powder, 0.6 oz-Neutral - M6255 $3.75 ea. 1 $3.75
M625X Mehron UltraFine Setting Powder, 0.6 oz-Ultra White - M6250 $3.75 ea. 1 $3.75 Order Subtotal: $29.45

clownantics.com has a everything, and also a ugly, but functionaly website.

Brushes etc I can buy where I live
But, 0.6oz ultra white powder seems a bit too litte, any thoughts?


WHERE IS THE EDIT BUTTON?!

[saphireSue]

Not to mess with your list, I've used both melron and Ben nye, the melron is a good start but when you can get the ben nye, I like it much better, It's lighter on the skin, comes off easier, and not as heavy, for me Melron tended to feel heavy, I'm older and have a few wrinkles around the eyes, the ben nye seem to hide this better, not be as heavy and my skin feel better after I use it than it did with the Melron, also seemed easier to set. I also use Ben nye pencils, and powders.

[grkn]

So the Mehron clown white lite feels heavy?
And the ben nye pencils are also better?

[saphireSue]

just like each person's skin type is different, how people feel about their make up varies, but on my face the melron felt heavier and greasier [grease paint :lol: :lol: ] At first Ben nye felt dryer and harder to put on, but once i got used to it, it was easier, and I felt the difference the first time I used it. If you get the white light, pat it one one layer at a time, at first you will not think it's white enough but once you have good coverage, set with the white setting powder and it become very white, I've been in make up 12 hours before with no need to touch up or redo. I used Melron for 3 years before switching and it's good too, I just prefer the Ben nye.
