^ Usually I only use AHA at night because of the tackiness, and drying problem. But, an option for you maybe is to do your AHA first, then BP, then moisturize?

I love mac makeup. However I do it quite a bit differently than you suggest... like I can't imagine using a brighter color shadow on my lids with brown and neutral tones upwards. I usually use the brightest color on my crease, with a muted middle tone on my lid and then the neutral light color on my brow bone.

Also, I only apply eyeliner to the outer half of my eyes because my eyes are kind of close together and I find that that opens them up.

if you like to work out, but still want some coverage on your skin .. i'd suggest using a powder foundation all over your face, and then before leaving the house, gently wipe off some of the powder. it's very sheer, but it covers some redness and red marks. and somehow it still stays on my oily skin after a 3 hr workout. if i applied liquid foundation and started working out, in no time it'd be running down my face in streaks.

-this has prob been mentioned already, but when you're applying a pencil eyeliner to your waterline, squint. that way it's easier to control the line you're creating.

-sponge tip applicators work nice if you just want to pack on color without having to use a brush.

-if you've been wanting a new eye shadow color, but haven't had time to go out and get it, mix some of the colors you already have on top of one another to make a new one.

-if you don't want to buy an under eye concealer and you already have a heavy coverage, liquid foundation, chances are its pigmented enough to be a decent concealer.

-don't ever let someone who works at a makeup counter pressure you into trying some of their things for a "makeover" if you really don't want to. one time i let a girl take off the foundation i was already wearing to try a primer, even tho i really didn't feel like it, and it was horrible. my skin started peeling bc i didn't realize how dry it was.

-you can find some cheap, pigmented makeup at swap meets, and fashion districts : D

MAC Fix + is my saving grace. Love love love it. Works great with BareMinerals.

No blotting paper while on the go? Go into the bathroom, grab a toilet seat cover (preferably one in the middle, assuring it hasn't been touched, and rip a square off and use that.

Does anyone have any tips for applying makeup with the BP and moisturizer on?
I have a lot of issues with them slipping into my eyes and mouth even though I avoid those areas. Thus I know for certain applying makeup with that on my face would do the same thing to me.
Currently I only use the regimen at night and just moisturize during the day but I want to use the BP in the mornings too from time to time and would like to be able to apply makeup over it safely.
