prep + prime eye can be skipped for sure. get a paint instead.

I use Studio Fix Fluid everyday and I love it! I have also heard good things about their new Match Master Foundation. You can always ask for samples to see how your skin reacts to their foundations as well. Let us know what you end up getting! =)

i would skip prep+prime all together unless your gonna get the prep+prime primer. if your gonna do something for your eyes, do a paint pot or shadows instead.
check out the matchmaster foundation if you dont want a really full coverage foundation. i use my matchmaster almost everyday. my favorite foundation from mac as of right now. also check out the mineralize skinfinish like in soft and gentle as a highlighter instead of the prep + prime one.

Prep +prime is a waste of time.,217 TOTALLY recommend. Try a blush. They also have a new foundation(liquid) its about $32 you get more for your $

right now i have a limit of a bit over 100 bucks and I am trying to get stuff i need for my face, I don't have any base for eyeshadow right now.

the prep + prime eye is garbage though. you'd be better off getting a paint or a paint pot.

What about eyeshadows? They have some really great and pretty unique colors, same for lipsticks. =)

I have use the eye primer and I didn't really care for it. You would do better getting a paint pot from them they are way better. The studio fix fluid I tried and it looked good when I first put it on but after an hour or two it would have my face looking so oily and nasty I couldn't stand it.

I decided to get the mac eyeshadow in shroom instead of the prep and prime for eyes. I have some sally hansen eyeshadow grip that I can use until I find a base I like. I might just have to order too face shadow insurance from sephora's website. There only make up counter around here is macys in the mall in medford oregon and I would have to go to san fransico to get to an ulta or a sephora and I would have to go to portland to get to a nordstroms. Make up is hard to come by around here, which is probably a good thing or i would be broke

You are going to love that #217 brush. I use it to set my concealer and of to blend my eye colors.

I recently went there and got my first paint pot! The one I got is a nude color its called Soft Ochre. I love the paint pot and would recommend it because you could very well use it as a base or primer ( that's what I have been using it for). Also it looks nice worn alone and I figure it will last me a long time so paying $17.50 for it was more of an investment than waste of money and time!

so this is what i ended up getting and I love them all:
217 brush
mineralize skinfinish in light plus
studio fix fluid in nc20
cream color base in luna frost (for highlights)
shroom satin eyeshadow
i will invest in a paint pot and blush next month

If you like UDPP, Ulta is selling the old packaging style for only $10 now to clear it from their inventory! I think sephora also does a two pack of sin and original for the price of one... Maybe a few dollars more, but it's still a great value for a great staple!
Try using shroom as a face highlighter too! Love that shade... An essential for most kits!

thanks Soma, I do like UDPP however the closest ulta is in san fransisco and that is 6 hrs. away. They are building an ulta in medford though that is only half an hour away from where i live so once it is finnish building I will go on a shopping spree there.
