UK/S.East/London Females...would you help a guy with shopping/makeup etc to be more feminine?

I'm wondering if there's any girls based in and around the london area who are actually fond of having guy mates who enjoy being more girly?


I'm not gay, perhaps a little bi but since i was little i've loved all things feminine.


i love makeup, heels, dressing up, etc and would love to hear from people who would want to be friends..


I've only ever dressed in my own space, no one knows and i cant tell anyone because i can't risk hurting family or friends.


Hence I'm out looking for cool girl mates who understand me and would have jokes with me helping me out with makeup, and maybe we can learn how to walk in heels together!!..lolz


Can anyone point me in the right direction? where can i make friends like that?


im in my mid 20s, and i actually think i could look convincing as a girl.





here's 3 of my pics just to show ya:

You poor fella, I don't mean this to be a nasty answer but your lifestyle choice is a very difficult one. Society finds it a lot easier to accept butch women than it does girly men. I'm not a dyke or anything but I'm not really interested in dressing up, and it's ok because I just wear baggy jeans and band tshirts that fit properly and I look normal, nothing out of the ordinary. But you'll stand out because you're wearing notably effeminate clothes and you're male.





To answer your question, I'd love to get fashion tips off you because you look like you know a hell of a lot more about looking nice than I do, but I don't live in London. :)UK/S.East/London Females...would you help a guy with shopping/makeup etc to be more feminine?
i live in london. but i wouldn't help much.


but keep doing your thing, just be careful though as (obviously) there are many small minded people in the world who may not agree with your appearance.
oh sweetie, I know you have posted on here several times recently and I really do feel for you, but I don't think this is the best place to try to meet girly friends that will want to talk hair and make-up with you.





If you go to a gay bar most of the girls there probably aren't going to be into that sort of thing anyway (there might be some but not really many from what I have seen and based on the gay girls I know).





You might be able to find a local support group for transvestites, at least then you will meet men in a similar situation to you and they may be able to help.





I really do hope you find a new best friend that you can experience these things with. Unfortunately I don't think it would be me as you're probably more feminine than I am! xx
Why... Do you feel you need a female to help you ?





Just go shopping, and look in the mirror.





This is for Q and A, not for personal Ad's.

Uk girls: would you help a young guy become more feminine? (shopping, makeup!) :)?

as a young TV, I lovee to be feminine and girly whenever possible. due to my culture i cant 'come out' to family so id really love to meet friends who'd treat me as a girl, help me shop and dress, etc.. everything girly goes. am just interested in seeing how many girls in the uk, (near london if poss) would be interested in being my friend.. I wana be one of the girls sometimes.. It'd be soo ace.


I believe I'm not gay, but when i dress up as a girl i do begin to think of guys, etc.. i know it sounds strange..but once you get to know me..you'll see im a nice girl :)Uk girls: would you help a young guy become more feminine? (shopping, makeup!) :)?
all i can say is buy clothes on line go to top-shop site miss selfridge


i feel for you must be hurting that you cant come out to family take care


were lots pinkUk girls: would you help a young guy become more feminine? (shopping, makeup!) :)?
Being feminine and girly isn't just the makeup and clothes you wear, it's your personality, mannerism, and the things you like.





People can tell you what to wear if you want to be more feminine but at the end of the day, if it's not the styles you would pick you might feel uncomfortable. Find a celebrity you most feel personifies the way you wished you looked and dressed and use that as a template but try to make the style your own and unique.





One thing I find really makes any male very feminine is thinning the eyebrows down.
sure ill be your friend. you cant judge someone before you know them. =]
Aw I would but I'm not near London sorry
i would but i live in usa srry
ill be ur friend,im me x
ewwwww

I never really tried makeup. Where do I find a good product in the UK?

It should be easy to apply without looking artificial, without animal testing as well. I'm white and rather pale at the moment. It would be nice to find something that makes me look like after a short sun tan, makes me look fresher and more colourful. lol.


As I don't get enough sleep and my skin is rather thin, the area under my eyes is often a bit shadowy and sometimes slightly swollen.


I don't want people to laugh at me though if don't apply it properly.


So I actually would need advice on which products are best and how to use them.


Oh, my eyes are brown and my hair is long, straight and dark blonde.


Any advice would be appreciated. :-)I never really tried makeup. Where do I find a good product in the UK?
Well i would recommend Body Shop has they do amazing makeup, (their own brand) and their totally against animal testing, but MAC is a fantastic brand, though im not to sure if their against animal testing.I never really tried makeup. Where do I find a good product in the UK?
THE TWO BEST AND MOST NATURAL DRUGSTORE BRANDS


(And neither test on Animals!)





Best if used for Normal to Combo skin types:


Sally Hansen Natural Beauty


http://www.sallyhansennaturalbeauty.com/鈥?/a>


Can be bought at a local Ulta, Jewell-Osco (Super Value), Duane Reade, Rite Aid, CVS Pharmacy, or Long Drugs stores. Also sold at ulta.com, duanereade.com, and cvs.com.





Best if used for Sensitive or Dry skin types:


Physician鈥檚 Formula


http://www.physiciansformula.com/en-us/d鈥?/a>


Can be bought at a local Albertson鈥檚, Bartell Drugs, CVS pharmacy, Drug Mart, Drug Fair, Duane Reade, Fred Meyer, H.e.b., Harmon, Hi-School Pharmacy, Kerr Drug, K-mart, Long Drugs, Marc's, Meijer, Rite Aid, Shopko, Snyder鈥檚 Drug Store, Target, Ulta, Walgreens, Walmart online, Wegmans, and Drugstore.com.
my advice is to go a department store and have a demo. For example, the larger boots stores have demo counters. There the beautician will be able to advise you in person taking into account your skin type, colouring etc. You dont have to buy anything but naturally the beautician will be hoping to make a sale, so have a figure in your mind or you'll come away with a whole make up collection.


Try to combine it with a night out and you'll get a free make over at the same time. on your way out have a squirt of expensive Perfume and youre set for the night!
Benefit is really good make-up and so is Dior most make-up at Debenhams is really good and their are people at counters who can show you how to apply make up and give you tips.
the brand innoxa is not tested on animals. i have very pale skin as well and their foundation colour called ';buttermilk'; is perfect for me. sry i'm not in the UK so i don't know whether you can get it there. when you are trying makeup, don't go too dark a colour at least to start with, try to keep it as close to your natural colour as possible and make sure you blend properly. for blond hair, go with a brown eyeliner and mascara because black can look way too harsh with light hair, especially if you have light eyebrows and lashes.
dream matte mousse foundation, its cheap and good quality, (use a cosmetic sponge for application, not your finger)


blend a bit on your collarbone before you buy any to find the perfect shade (your hands are darker than your face)


Tinted moisturiser can give you a light tan if you want, you seem to realise orange isn't a good face colour :)


If you want better quality but more expensive, use MAC and chanel


Put concealer on under your eyes over the foundation, blend well and use a brush.


Bronzing pearls or bronzer compacts can give a summery glow IF used correctly. Dont be tempted to layer it on, just a light dusting is enough and use the largest brush possible to disperse it evenly and not cake your skin up. less is more in this case


Keep your skin clean and well moisturised as make up dries it out and can clog your pores. also, a make-up artsit tip which can work depending on your foundation is to add a little bit of good quality moisturiser into your liquid foundation and mix well on your hand/pallet with a brush before applying (either with a foundation brush or cosmetics sponge - brush gives even, thicker application and sponge thinner and sheer)


finally, as you are a blonde use black masscarra and eyelash curlers to enhance fair lashes. a dark nude pink will suit your colouring for your lips and a peachy pink blush looks natural, fresh and young.





hope i helped =D

    Hiya! I'm Jenny, I'm from Birmingham, UK. :D I keep seeing this question, and whilst I can't hang out with you, I do want to help you make that friend.


    I think it's great that you wanna make friends with new people, but most people on this site are from the US or other countries, so I don't think you'll have much luck here. Have you tried any UK chatrooms? Or, if you get one of the London newspapers, you can put in an advert or send a letter in about how you want to make friends. Alternatively, you could just go to a London nightcluba nd who knows? Maybe you will meet your friend there. I think that you are more likely to find that friend in these ways, rather than on yahoo answers! Hope I helped :D

    i thinnk you should get straight across bangs and loose curls like the other gurl said and maybe a little bit less blush and more eye makeup :]
    you make me sick

    I am from birmingham, england, uk.. if i go into the mac cosmetics store, do they do makeup if you pay them?

    They can do a peak demo, for which you don't need to book or pay anything. This usualy lasts around 15min and they soley concentrate on a feature (eg, eyes, lips). You can choose what you would like. Although in busy times they might not be able to do this, so always think about when your going into the store.





    Another way of gettin you're makeup done is to book a make-over session. This is booked up in advance and consists of a 45min to 1 hour make-up session. This is a full application of makeup and can be anything you want :) This does however cost 拢25 but its reedemable on products on the day of the purchaise.





    These sessions are really popular (especialy on saturdays since majority of people want to go out with fab makeup :) ) The best way to look at it you get all the products you need with a full make up, and tips on how to apply it.





    EnjoyI am from birmingham, england, uk.. if i go into the mac cosmetics store, do they do makeup if you pay them?
    No you don't have to pay! Try the mac counter in selfridges, bullring. I think they have mac in debenhams bullring too. They are very busy in both shops, so you will need to book and appointment (I know this from experience!) You won't HAVE to buy anything, but you should definetly act VERY interested in the products on sale. Maybe ask for a few samples, and buy a small item, if you have the money to spare. You also won't have to pay for them to do your makeup, it is free! But like I said before, you will have to book in advance. So maybe you should go in the morning, book an appointment for later and in the mean time go shopping! The krispy kreme dohnuts on the bottom floor of selfridges are AMAZING!! They sometimes give out free ones, when they are making a fresh batch!! Haha, sorry for going off topic... I just love those dohnuts!!


    Have a good time in selfridges! (or I guess you could go to the mac store if you want. You won't have to pay therre either.) :)I am from birmingham, england, uk.. if i go into the mac cosmetics store, do they do makeup if you pay them?
    if its the store is in the US and you go just ask them to do it they usually will they want you to buy their products and if you try them you're more likely to buy
    None of the big makeup houses charge for making you up! They do, however, expect you to purchase some products.





    Try Debenhams in the Bull Ring - very good choice in there.
    yeah, you book an appointment but often if they're not busy they'll do it for you without one :)


    I think it's about 拢10 but it's redeemable on products :)

    Is e.l.f. makeup stocked in-store anywhere in the UK, other than online?

    If so, where can I find it?


    I live in London and would like to try before I buy...Is e.l.f. makeup stocked in-store anywhere in the UK, other than online?
    I believe it's online only in the UK. The prices are so cheap though, it's hard to go too wrong. If you enter your email address on their site, they'll email you when they have free shipping deals etc.





    If you check the US ELF site (elf.com) there are a ton of reviews for each product, which should help you choose what's right for you.

Ok, so they brand is called ';b never too busy to be beautiful'; They are complety vegan and non of their products are tested on animals :D They have a few stores around the UK. One in Londons Covent Garden (covent garden is a really cool marketplace), one in Londons Oxford street (Where all the posh shops are!), one in Dorset and one in Leeds. Here are the addresses of the shops: https://www.bnevertoobusytobebeautiful.c鈥?/a>

    OK, so hope I helped!! :DFavorite Makeup Brands/Products in the UK?
    You should check out a brand called Gosh, specifically a lipstick called 'Darling'. It's a lovely, soft pinky nude colour. Also, Barry M lip products are good, especially the lip paints. Collection 2000 is good for glitter eyeliners and they're really cheap too. Rimmel London have some really great nail polishes, eye shadows and lip products. If you're wanting to spend a little more, check out new brand Illamasqua - gorgeous brand and higly recommended.
    I love Barry m and sleek i have nearly all their products,i love barry m for their colours and creativity and sleek for their smooth application and long lasting products.OMG if you go to a store called superdrug you have to stop by the brand sleek and try out their palettes they even have some new editions out you get 12 colours for under 5 pounds and the pigmentation is amazing .i think their are originally 3 palettes which will never be discontinued called


    storm-everyday neutrals and lots of shimmery colours for smokey eyes


    originial-shimmery colours -every colour of shade is in there


    chaos-bright matt colours for dramtic looks.
    i know you said best but heres the worst- dream matte mousse foundation, it sucks, it lasts about 45 miniutes, melts and strreaks in the sun , enhances every little lump and bump, completely clogs up poures, does nothing for oily skin nor dry according to my friends.





    lol, i just wanted a rant about how **** this foundation is, fanx for the oportunity lmao x
    I like Boots No7 range and they often have 3 for 2 offers on their makeup.

    What is the best big-name makeup brand (in the UK) for my skin?

    I want to go to a makeup counter in a UK department store and get advice and buy some foundation and concealer etc.





    Which makeup brand should I approach for this? I see counters for clinique, clarins, estee lauder and lots of others and I'm confused about which is best for me.





    My skin is very pale, fairly sensitive, prone to pinkness, a mix of dry and oily. I have large pores and eye circles I need to hide. I'm getting some wrinkles now too as I approach late 30s.





    Any suggestions for which brand is most appropriate?What is the best big-name makeup brand (in the UK) for my skin?
    Clinique. If you go into Debanams the woman who works in the make up part will test different shades on you to suit your natural skin colour and they have different ones for dry/greasy skin. You just have to tell her what your skins like and what sort of look you want, like flawless (hiding blemishes etc) and what your skins like e.g. Dry/greasy. I went with my mum and she got the perfect one for her so im sure you'll find one.What is the best big-name makeup brand (in the UK) for my skin?
    You should go to the pharmacy where they have medical brands for people with skin problems like you.





    Hope that helped.





    Good Luck.





    Good Bye.
    maybellene products actually work
    From what you have described , I think you should try Clarins. Clarins has mostly plant based skincare that is suited to sensitive skin.
    Illamasqua!


    Not very ';big,'; I suppose, but definitely amazing.
    it sounds like you need make-up that is suitable for very specific skin.


    try to find a salon or therapist that uses demalogica products and go there to have your face mapped.





    these therapists are specially trained to give you the perfect creams and make-up for your skin!





    they can also give a facial that can help alot with your skin and wrinkles





    hope i helped!


    :)
    Rimmel
    Hello, I am giving this advise based on the fact i have worked in the luxury cosmetic industry for over 10 years. I would certainly recommend not going to clinique, their products can have really bad effects on the skin long term generally totally altering your skin type. For the best colour match i would say bobbi brown, I worked for them and I always got a perfect match. Estee Lauder double wear gives the best coverage and Lancome do a great one that has anti ageing benefits.
    You don't want a foundation that makes you look orange, so I would recommend Illamasqua or Prescriptives.


    Illamasqua has loads of colours, and Prescriptives do Custom-Blend where they make you your own unique colour to prefectly match your skin colour and type.





    :)
    I would try Clinique first, due to the sensitivity of your skin. If you cannot find light enough shades there, then I'd give Chanel a go.
    MAC. most department stores supply it (:


    quite exspensive but very good.
    i'm a clinique fan. like i'm not trying to sell their stuff to you or anything, but everything i've bought from clinique worked great. i have their foundation right now and i love it. they have different kinds of foundations for different skin and the sellspeople can help you find the right one. =] hope this helped
    I am a big fan of Estee Lauder. Their Doublewear foundation is great and they will match the best shade to your skin tone. L'oreal under eye concealer is also a great buy, its only 拢6 odd and I find it just as good as the more expensive ones. Just make sure you choose the best shade for your colouring and dab don't rub.

    Need a whole new makeup kit please help UK ONLY ?

    My eyes have a tendency to water in the day so wateproof mascara will be best, my usually foundation wears off, my eye liner smudges and my lipgloss sticks or dosnt stay on so from this what can you reccomend? Thankyou xNeed a whole new makeup kit please help UK ONLY ?
    I don't know much about buying online but I do know Revlon, Rubie%26amp;Millie %26amp; Bourjois are good brands. Tesco make-up is sometimes good also. Revlon is my favourite as they always update their range with new ideas.


    Also, I was quite surprised with M%26amp;S make-up range, esp. their Autograph,their Per Una range has nice lipsticks %26amp;are not too expensive.(when M%26amp;S have a sale, their make-ups are hugely reduced %26amp; is a good time to check them out!)


    On the more expensive brands Bobby Brown,Chanel %26amp; MAC are very good.


    For foundation I like Bourjois Happy Light, for long lasting try Revlon Colourstay or Loreal does a longlasting one also(sorry I forget the name but u can check it in Boots)...





    Mascara I don't wear but I have heard Maybelline does good ones, esp. their best seller is Great Lash( the pink one)..also max factor 200 calorie...if your eyes water,it could be a sign that you are sensitive to mascara?(perhaps), so maybe wear a hyperallergenic one. perhaps Clarins , but if you'd like an organic or natural one,,try your good health shops,Living Nature http://livingnature.com/catalog/main.cfm鈥?/a>


    eyeliner/eyeshadow I don't wear either but again as above,perhaps wear a hyperallergenic one


    blusher: I wear MAC %26amp; Bourjois.


    Also, Revlon have just brought out a really nice limited edition new range, with things like Pinch Me cheek tints, Just Bitten lip stain lipstick(like your lips have been bitten!), %26amp; a Sugar Sugar lip topping which gives a sort of sugar lip coating...


    what i really liked was their Bare It All skin highlighter which gives a nice glow to the face..try them in Boots or from this site:


    http://www.revlon.com/


    ...I quite liked the Just Bitten ip stain also as it doesn't wear off easily %26amp; makes the lips look natural.


    I don't like lipgloss as it makes my lips greasy %26amp; doesn't stay long. But if you like it, try Bourjois, they have brought out a new one that is supposed to be less greasy, I think it's called Eau De Gloss:Water based gloss.





    Unfortunately I haven't yet discovered net make-up shopping (as you can see I am quite into make-up!!) %26amp; it'd save me some cash if I did find some good ones.I've done a bit of search %26amp; find new products are not on sale on make-up saver's sites, which makes me wonder how old the make-up is %26amp; wether they have expired (sometimes it doesn't matter but for foundation or mascara for example I wouldn't compromise on quality).


    I did find this site for YSL best-selling Touche Eclat( it is supposed to be excellent for hiding under eye bags)quite cheap:(u could also check out their other make-up)


    http://www.cheapsmells.com/search.php?se鈥?/a>


    But Ebay also sells them at reasonable rates.(taking the postage into account,the above site is cheaper.


    If you could buy all or some of your requirements on one site,you'd [probably get free P%26amp;P %26amp; some freebies also.


    I'm sorry I can'r suggest any sites but you could always google the product u r looking for, %26amp; from there find lots of recommnded sites %26amp; see if they're any good. Also, VERY IMPORTANT, check their policy if sth is not of good acceptable quality, if they have a money back guarantee. Perhaps ask them can I return a product if it isr eally of unacceptable quality.


    Also Amazon sells cosmetics but they don't have a big range (go to Homes %26amp; Gardens %26amp; look under PersonalCare) or type in name in search.)





    I hope this is of some help!

  • Best makeup brush cleanser? (available in UK)?

    hi guys,





    i really need a brush cleanser. ive been using everyday shampoo but its not good at all for it. any suggestions that i could use that are relatively cheap and available in the UK?Best makeup brush cleanser? (available in UK)?
    Try MAC's makeup remover. Or go to any local department store and ask any makeup counter if they have a brush cleaner or could recommend one.

    UK/S.East/London Females...would you help a guy with shopping/makeup etc to be more feminine?

    I'm wondering if there's any girls based in and around the london area who are actually fond of having guy mates who enjoy being more girly?


    I'm not gay, perhaps a little bi but since i was little i've loved all things feminine.


    i love makeup, heels, dressing up, etc and would love to hear from people who would want to be friends..


    I've only ever dressed in my own space, no one knows and i cant tell anyone because i can't risk hurting family or friends.


    Hence I'm out looking for cool girl mates who understand me and would have jokes with me helping me out with makeup, and maybe we can learn how to walk in heels together!!..lolz


    Can anyone point me in the right direction? where can i make friends like that?


    im in my mid 20s, and i actually think i could look convincing as a girl.





    here's 3 of my pics just to show ya:

    mspreeti ';at'; hotmail ';dot'; co ';dot'; ukUK/S.East/London Females...would you help a guy with shopping/makeup etc to be more feminine?
    You poor fella, I don't mean this to be a nasty answer but your lifestyle choice is a very difficult one. Society finds it a lot easier to accept butch women than it does girly men. I'm not a dyke or anything but I'm not really interested in dressing up, and it's ok because I just wear baggy jeans and band tshirts that fit properly and I look normal, nothing out of the ordinary. But you'll stand out because you're wearing notably effeminate clothes and you're male.





    To answer your question, I'd love to get fashion tips off you because you look like you know a hell of a lot more about looking nice than I do, but I don't live in London. :)UK/S.East/London Females...would you help a guy with shopping/makeup etc to be more feminine?
    i live in london. but i wouldn't help much.


    but keep doing your thing, just be careful though as (obviously) there are many small minded people in the world who may not agree with your appearance.
    oh sweetie, I know you have posted on here several times recently and I really do feel for you, but I don't think this is the best place to try to meet girly friends that will want to talk hair and make-up with you.





    If you go to a gay bar most of the girls there probably aren't going to be into that sort of thing anyway (there might be some but not really many from what I have seen and based on the gay girls I know).





    You might be able to find a local support group for transvestites, at least then you will meet men in a similar situation to you and they may be able to help.





    I really do hope you find a new best friend that you can experience these things with. Unfortunately I don't think it would be me as you're probably more feminine than I am! xx
    Why... Do you feel you need a female to help you ?





    Just go shopping, and look in the mirror.





    This is for Q and A, not for personal Ad's.

    Uk girls: would you help a young guy become more feminine? (shopping, makeup!) :)?

    as a young TV, I lovee to be feminine and girly whenever possible. due to my culture i cant 'come out' to family so id really love to meet friends who'd treat me as a girl, help me shop and dress, etc.. everything girly goes. am just interested in seeing how many girls in the uk, (near london if poss) would be interested in being my friend.. I wana be one of the girls sometimes.. It'd be soo ace.


    I believe I'm not gay, but when i dress up as a girl i do begin to think of guys, etc.. i know it sounds strange..but once you get to know me..you'll see im a nice girl :)Uk girls: would you help a young guy become more feminine? (shopping, makeup!) :)?
    ewwwwwUk girls: would you help a young guy become more feminine? (shopping, makeup!) :)?
    sure ill be your friend. you cant judge someone before you know them. =]
    Aw I would but I'm not near London sorry
    ill be ur friend,im me x
    all i can say is buy clothes on line go to top-shop site miss selfridge


    i feel for you must be hurting that you cant come out to family take care


    were lots pink
    Being feminine and girly isn't just the makeup and clothes you wear, it's your personality, mannerism, and the things you like.





    People can tell you what to wear if you want to be more feminine but at the end of the day, if it's not the styles you would pick you might feel uncomfortable. Find a celebrity you most feel personifies the way you wished you looked and dressed and use that as a template but try to make the style your own and unique.





    One thing I find really makes any male very feminine is thinning the eyebrows down.
    i would but i live in usa srry

    I never really tried makeup. Where do I find a good product in the UK?

    It should be easy to apply without looking artificial, without animal testing as well. I'm white and rather pale at the moment. It would be nice to find something that makes me look like after a short sun tan, makes me look fresher and more colourful. lol.


    As I don't get enough sleep and my skin is rather thin, the area under my eyes is often a bit shadowy and sometimes slightly swollen.


    I don't want people to laugh at me though if don't apply it properly.


    So I actually would need advice on which products are best and how to use them.


    Oh, my eyes are brown and my hair is long, straight and dark blonde.


    Any advice would be appreciated. :-)I never really tried makeup. Where do I find a good product in the UK?
    dream matte mousse foundation, its cheap and good quality, (use a cosmetic sponge for application, not your finger)


    blend a bit on your collarbone before you buy any to find the perfect shade (your hands are darker than your face)


    Tinted moisturiser can give you a light tan if you want, you seem to realise orange isn't a good face colour :)


    If you want better quality but more expensive, use MAC and chanel


    Put concealer on under your eyes over the foundation, blend well and use a brush.


    Bronzing pearls or bronzer compacts can give a summery glow IF used correctly. Dont be tempted to layer it on, just a light dusting is enough and use the largest brush possible to disperse it evenly and not cake your skin up. less is more in this case


    Keep your skin clean and well moisturised as make up dries it out and can clog your pores. also, a make-up artsit tip which can work depending on your foundation is to add a little bit of good quality moisturiser into your liquid foundation and mix well on your hand/pallet with a brush before applying (either with a foundation brush or cosmetics sponge - brush gives even, thicker application and sponge thinner and sheer)


    finally, as you are a blonde use black masscarra and eyelash curlers to enhance fair lashes. a dark nude pink will suit your colouring for your lips and a peachy pink blush looks natural, fresh and young.





    hope i helped =DI never really tried makeup. Where do I find a good product in the UK?
    THE TWO BEST AND MOST NATURAL DRUGSTORE BRANDS


    (And neither test on Animals!)





    Best if used for Normal to Combo skin types:


    Sally Hansen Natural Beauty


    http://www.sallyhansennaturalbeauty.com/鈥?/a>


    Can be bought at a local Ulta, Jewell-Osco (Super Value), Duane Reade, Rite Aid, CVS Pharmacy, or Long Drugs stores. Also sold at ulta.com, duanereade.com, and cvs.com.





    Best if used for Sensitive or Dry skin types:


    Physician鈥檚 Formula


    http://www.physiciansformula.com/en-us/d鈥?/a>


    Can be bought at a local Albertson鈥檚, Bartell Drugs, CVS pharmacy, Drug Mart, Drug Fair, Duane Reade, Fred Meyer, H.e.b., Harmon, Hi-School Pharmacy, Kerr Drug, K-mart, Long Drugs, Marc's, Meijer, Rite Aid, Shopko, Snyder鈥檚 Drug Store, Target, Ulta, Walgreens, Walmart online, Wegmans, and Drugstore.com.
    my advice is to go a department store and have a demo. For example, the larger boots stores have demo counters. There the beautician will be able to advise you in person taking into account your skin type, colouring etc. You dont have to buy anything but naturally the beautician will be hoping to make a sale, so have a figure in your mind or you'll come away with a whole make up collection.


    Try to combine it with a night out and you'll get a free make over at the same time. on your way out have a squirt of expensive Perfume and youre set for the night!
    Well i would recommend Body Shop has they do amazing makeup, (their own brand) and their totally against animal testing, but MAC is a fantastic brand, though im not to sure if their against animal testing.
    the brand innoxa is not tested on animals. i have very pale skin as well and their foundation colour called ';buttermilk'; is perfect for me. sry i'm not in the UK so i don't know whether you can get it there. when you are trying makeup, don't go too dark a colour at least to start with, try to keep it as close to your natural colour as possible and make sure you blend properly. for blond hair, go with a brown eyeliner and mascara because black can look way too harsh with light hair, especially if you have light eyebrows and lashes.
    Benefit is really good make-up and so is Dior most make-up at Debenhams is really good and their are people at counters who can show you how to apply make up and give you tips.

    I don't live near by but good on you! :]
    Hiya! I'm Jenny, I'm from Birmingham, UK. :D I keep seeing this question, and whilst I can't hang out with you, I do want to help you make that friend.


    I think it's great that you wanna make friends with new people, but most people on this site are from the US or other countries, so I don't think you'll have much luck here. Have you tried any UK chatrooms? Or, if you get one of the London newspapers, you can put in an advert or send a letter in about how you want to make friends. Alternatively, you could just go to a London nightcluba nd who knows? Maybe you will meet your friend there. I think that you are more likely to find that friend in these ways, rather than on yahoo answers! Hope I helped :D
