Every comment is counted as an entry so long as you’re adding onto the conversation. (Important note: Be nice. I have the right to disqualify a comment if it’s off-topic/spammy/offensive.) Main point here is to have this conversation and learn from each other. AND my way of saying thank you for participating in the conversation is the Artistry Raffle. How does that sound?
Since I also write for two (2) other blogs: Tops 2 Bottoms and Style Manila, I’ll also be starting conversations there wherein you’re also free to join!
This will last till the end of the month, 30th June 2008, 11:59pm. Raffle will be on 01 July then the list of winners with corresponding prizes will be posted on 02 July 2008. Winners are given 3 days to get in touch with me, sending in particulars like full name and mailing address (using the email address used in their comment). Failure to meet the deadline will result to my drawing a new winner.
Now, let’s start talking!

For Asian skintones the best mineral makeup is Exact Match Minerals in Light Warm and Golden Warm. If you are darker then they have other mineral makeups but those are for yellow undertones and they work great! They give a perfect color match and a soft, natural matte finish.
My Views
Personally, i am not asian, however i have an asian best friend. I’m so drawm to the natural beauty of asian women especially the eyes and think that they’re faces lend themselves to creativity.
Even though I am a black young woman, i still love to experiment with different make up types and brands.
I think the way you make articles on make up gives every female an insight to doing their make up and enables people to share their ideas, after all there is no formula to make up :)
Also, thank you for entering me into the draw… Keep up the good work !

I was listening to BBC 1Xtra which has a black show and the presenter asked the listeners to email and sms in which skin colour they preferred and most of the young black men responded with lighter skin being their preference. It seems that being female we’re pressured into wanting lighter skin, my friends all use NUR76 which lightens their skin and most of them do not tell anyone else that they use it. I guess wanting to be lighter is quite a shameful thing.

I have yet to bloom when it comes to cosmetics. I bought a set of makeup to use for my prom night, and it’s now five years later and it’s still sitting somewhere, almost completely unused. My best friend indulges in eyeliner and mascara, but I find that it’s too much of a hassle and I don’t really have much lash for mascara to latch onto in the first place! I also agree with the skin sensitivity and acne-prone comments. Another reason my friend and I don’t wear makeup too much is that it tends to cause/prolong our unattractive breakouts! Sure, foundation can cover bad skin to an extent, but I really wish there were an actual product out there that could cover and heal at the same time!
As for skin tone, I’m naturally quite pale, but enjoy a tanner look. I burn pretty easily, but it quickly turns into a nice bronze, which I think flatters my body type much more than my pasty white colour naturel.

I’m also a late bloomer…Due to skin sensitivity. My skin reacts badly to any cosmetics products. So, my derma advise me to have a good skin care routine, instead of putting make up. So, my HG are lip products. Mostly lip glosses and balms… in nudes. I wanted to try colors…but it doesnt suit me well.. But still, nude it is. Late last year, friends recommended me to try mineral make up… I’m dipping unto them slowly, afraid that my skin can’t take it. But, so far, so good.
i’m a late-bloomer! i’m in my 30′s and i started using makeup just last year. when i was younger, i was really afraid of foundies and face powders because i never had any luck in choosing the right shade. i ended up getting products that were too light, too dark or too pink. it was probably because a lot of the cosmetics available were made for caucasians. and it was just last year, when i stumbled upon mmu, that i realized that many cosmetic companies are making products for people of different ethnicities. i’m glad to have finally found medium golden foundies to match my distinctly southeast asian skin. :)
i agree with the observation that a lot of asians aspire for whiter skin. that’s why we have lots of beauty products promising whiter skin. but i’m morena and i’m proud of it. i hope more women, not just asians, would come to appreciate the color of their own skin.

I would like to find how to make eyes look bigger. I put off white shadow in inner corner of my eyes but would like more tips.
