This thread really is fun. Two people said they used that Clinique lipstick in 'black honey,' which means I need to try it now lol.
Medi - a while ago, I too had an issue with dry eyelids. They were flakey. What I did probably isn't recommended by pro's. If I use lotion (normally I use oil on my skin,) it's Nivea Extra Enriched lotion. Comes in a pump bottle. The main ingredient is mineral oil. I would lightly apply it to my eyelids. Problem is, if any gets in your eye and you wear contacts, you get 'foggy eye' for the rest of the day. Rinsing them off doesn't help much either. And I'm sure getting mineral oil in your eye isn't a good idea - dunno for sure. But that's what got rid of my flakey eyelids.
I used Almay's eye make up remover pads for years too - loved them. Still do, but I find I go through them way too fast. It takes 2-3 to remove my mascara and liner and that's per eye. That's when I switched to baby wipes. They're so much cheaper and it just takes one wipe per eye. But by all means, if you can swing it, go the Almay route!
One quick tip to ensure great application of the powder foundations - make sure your skin is exfoliated and moisturized. And apply foundation maybe 10 minutes after you applied moisturizer, to give it a chance to absorb into skin. I used to always apply foundation right after moisturizer, but you'll find you'll be using less foundation if you just wait those 10 minutes or so.
Yay fun thread. Hope more most soon
