"Supporting Cast" Recommended Products

Pigments / Glitters

• Barry M Dazzle Dust and Glitter Dust  Really cheap, really pigmented loose pigments and glitters
• Makeup Forever Diamond Powder and Star Powder  Expensive but beautiful fine glitters
• Kryolan Glamour Sparks  Less expensive than Makeup Forever for a much larger amount, and at least as good if not better - but only available online
• MAC Loose Pigments and Reflects Pigments  Brilliant loose pigments, excellent colour pay-off, avoid the chunkier glitter ones if you just want a pigment.  The Reflects range of pigments are beautiful glitters

Finishing Spray

• MAC Fix+  Use this over makeup to meld it all together.  Be careful if you're wearing a non-waterproof mascara.  This is not a setting spray, but it does help your makeup last a little longer and look less chalky, especially if you're using a lot of matte powder products.  This is one of those very useful products, you can also use it to foil your eyeshadows, for example, and you can spritz it underneath a drying makeup to make it blend a little easier;  to cool down your face (without disturbing your makeup) in hot conditions;  mixed with some glitter or metallic pigments to provide a shimmery spray for face/body... etc.

Lashes

• BUDGET: Revlon, Ardell
• SPLURGE: MAC, Benefit  (recommended tentatively, as the lash band is a little floppy), Makeup Forever, Shu Uemura, Illamasqua (recommended tentatively, as the lash band tends to be a little stiff)
• GLUE: Duo Adhesive  Latex-based glue
