Besides lip makeup of different textures and types including lipglosses, which many consider to be a must have makeup item for every girl, the next in-demand, must-have makeup item is powder. Even as teens, we wore white powder to keep our faces smooth and shine-free. Then, we graduated to slightly coloured powder in the same cylindrical shaped cases that we carried around in our bags. The present brand being, 'Florentyna'. Then, we moved to Cornsilk's translucent powder. In those days in Lag, everyone had that nice powder that kept your skin looking matte and we were happy. Of all the makeup questions i'm asked, questions about powders seem to feature the most. What's my perfect shade? Which brand is nicer? Do i have to wear the same brand for both foundation and powder? Does wearing powder allow my skin breathe? etc. This blog entry will help to answer those questions.

hello people, have you guys seen 'Alice in wonderland'? it may not be a first choice movie for a lot of people but having Johnny Depp in it definitely rouses interest. i watched the preview and i was like, another Johnny Depp movie? It has got to be fabulous. And i was not disappointed. I loved his potrayal of the hatter. He asked alice, 'have i gone mad?' to which she replied,'i'm afraid so. you're entirely bonkers. but i'll tell you a secret. All the best people are'. I really loved his makeup. it was so so creative and it lent his face chracter and he was spooky and adorable all at the same time. When i saw his face, i went, gaga. i was so wowed by it. i've read so much about this movie and my favorite character is the Hatter. i love his humanity and his wisdom. he almost made me cry when he said alice wouldn't remember him when she goes back to her normal life.

this blog is supposed to be about makeup but i can't help but digress a bit here. i love watching movies. i think i watch too many movies. i saw 'the blind side' yesterday and i love it. the character i was most endeared to was SJ. He was amazing. he had a lot of self confidence, a fearlessness, a belief in Micheal to play football well. i smiled at the sight of him coaching Micheal and doing a good job of it too. He called him his big brother before everybody and didn't care about public opinion. he was really good. He made me smile and i loved the way he negotiated with the coaches who came to sell their colleges to Micheal. he was amazing.
