You're speaking my language!! I LOVE MAC. It's so much fun. I also love, love, love Chanel, NARS and Shiseido. You know, all the really cheap stuff.:p :rolleyes:Quote:

Ohhh I love clear lipgloss from Mac. It feels funny but it looks so good that I don't care how it feels LOL.Quote:

I never wear makeup, unless I have to go to a wedding or a funeral or a big party. Or if I'm getting professional portraits taken.
Otherwise I never wear any makeup at all. I don't like to take the time to put it on, and I don't like the way it feels. Bleck.
Try Loreal Endless. It's in a goldish tube. It doesn't last super long, but longer then most without drying out the lips. I like it.Quote:
One thing I cannot stand is the lipsticks that are supposed to stay on and not come off, they all feel so gross on my lips, has anyone come across one that is excellent, because I have tried a few and now given up as they are so yuck.
I used to wear that all the time. It covers so well and even stays on a bit when you swim. BUT it makes me break out so bad! (I have awful skin and am currently on accutane.)Quote:
One of my favorite foundations is Revlon Colorstay.
I wear make-up pretty much every day. On a normal day though, it's really not much. Sleep is much to important to me to spend more then 5 minutes on make-up and hair. :p
I usually wear mascara, touch of eyeshadow, powder (my face is always shiney, and I hate it!) and occasionally lipstick..medium shade.
I've never bought any make-up, I mooch off my mom...whenever I buy it on my own it won't be much, I'm too cheap to buy any expensive brands.
Lol ditto! I'm quite happy with my dollar store eye liner;)Quote:

Thanks for the Tip Carole!! I will keep that in mind!! :)
I haven't found any of the long lasting lipsticks that I can't live without. But I have found that if you dust your lips with loose powder, put your lipstick on, and blot and dust LIGHTLY again with the loose powder and then top with a light gloss, that helps make it stay longer. But I have been using glosses with more color pigment like the Avon Glazewear a lot more. I used to regliously use lip liner, now I only use it occasionally, when I remember. :o
I have just started using the Physician's Formula powders. They have several colors in the palette so that it blends for a more natural color, I really like those!
I have been in different phase in putting on makeup. Right now I usually do not put makeup on, unless there are special occasions. But I do need chapstick (my lips are very dry) and sometimes lipgloss if I am in the mood. I tried many different brands, I don't really care as long as they work. :D Good thread. I have fun reading it.
All this talk about make-up made me want to go through and clean it all up. :)
Here's most of my collection:
Ditto that!!!!!Quote:

Therefore, I have no need to make-up.
I used to wear make-up, then stopped.
My main reason - same as babolaypo - TIME!!! I like to sleep in the morning so, none for me .......
Wedding, or special occasion - I make the effort.
Cheshirekatt - OMG!!!!!!! Make up QUEEN!
Yep, I throw the best slumber parties! :DQuote:

So um how do I go about getting licensed??? ;) ;) ;)Quote:

But seriously, that has got to be over $300 worth of makeup there-- that's my general guess not knowing the brands. CRAZY! :p I'm just jealous!
When you work for MAC, you get $600 worth of make-up a year! ;)Quote:

That's the old style MAC case that you can't get anymore..... :(
You work for MAC! :eek: I love MAC!!! :D
I wish I could afford MAC. :( They don't test on animals and a lot of their stuff is even vegan! I feel like I'm going to be a poor college student FOREVER.
Hey, would you happen to have a list or something with the MAC products that are vegan?
I used to work for MAC. I haven't worked for them in like 4 or 5 years, but I've got friends who still do so they hook me up! ;)Quote:

They also have a web site that you could check out. I'm pretty sure you can e-mail them questions. :D
I truly do not like makup. It hides pretty girls faces from the world. And they think that it makes them prettier???? Hahaha. I will only wear makup for Halloween. That is it.
For all those who do like to wear make-up, have you ever checked into the book entitled "Don't Go to the Cosmetics Counter Without Me" ? The author is Paula Begoun and she gives a SUPER analysis of all lines of cosmetics. It was amazing to me to see Lancome and L'Oreal were owned by the same company so lots of their products were almost the same except for price. Lots of neat stuff like that in the book. This author also has 2 on-line newsletters you can subscribe to - one is free and the other costs. I get both and have noticed that the freebie newsletter contains a lot of stuff that's in the one you pay for. Oh, and Jane make=up line is owned by Lauder!
I do like makeup, love to play with it but don't wear it every day. My favorite toy is lipgloss. Love it, Love it, LOVE IT!!!!!
lol! i was just thinking about strating a thread like this.:)
i dont wear make-up because i dont really like the idea of spreading animal fats and greasy stuff on my face to "look pretty". maybe i will when i'm older. even though my mom lets me i always feel embarassed for some reason when i wear make-up around her. i'm not sure why. my sister doesn't wear make-up . and my mom does.
Occasionally I'll put on a touch of eye makeup, but other than that I avoid it. ^.^
I used to be a total goth though...
I am the number one customer at the MAC counter. Well, maybe not, but between MAC and Sephora, I could die happy right inside their stores. It's like Disneyland!
Amen, 2Kitties.:D
Small children have been known to run at the sight of me without makeup on:D :D :D
I think it depends what you are used to.(And how other people are used to seeing you). My SIL is very pretty, dark hair and freckles, and it looks WEIRD when she wears makeup, because she hadly ever does. On the other hand, I will not leave the house without AT LEAST foundation, mascara and a light lipstick on. People see me withour makeup and they ask if I am sick!!!!
(I even have special bandanas so I wont smudge my make-up all over the inside of my bike helmet when we ride.
BUT one of the first things I do when I get home is take my makeup off!
And what about perfume! If I forget to put perfume on, I will actually stop in at the drug store and spray myself with a sample:rolleyes: I feel totally naked without it!:rolleyes:
My hubby was in the UK last week, and the angel bought me 2 big bottles of New West Skin Scent - it's my favourite, but you can't buy it here or in South Africa:(
PS Soledad & 2Kitties - want to go shopping????
I like Vera Wang perfume and Sheer Tiffany. Both light scents with fruit and floral.
Anyone know where I could go to get custom blended foundation? I have strange, extremely pale, very pink skin and no retail make up (even the best) matches my skin!
HELP!
I know Prescriptives and Elizabeth Arden off the top of my head. But honestly I think most makeup counters will do it.
The only makeup I wear is my black eyeliner. I'm obsessed. If I don't have it, I get frumpy and miffed. Occasionally I'll wear some black eyeshadow.
a little, mainly I wear no shine powder, and lip chap, thats about it though. but the thing is the people I know that were not allowed to where make-up until a certain age where a tone where as I have never not been allowed to where make-up so I am not to intrested, its sort of the smae type of thing as candy and younf kids there was a study done with kids who were allowed candy whenever and kids were were not allowed candy, they were in a room by themselfs with a hidden camera, and left with a tray full of junk food, and a tray of toys, the kids who were not allowd junk food went straight for the junk, where as the kids they were allowed junk food ignored it and played with the toys, same concept with make-up I think :p
Thanks! I’m headed to Prescriptives after work today! :D Wish me luck!Quote:

But Cali, makeup is not a bad thing. There is no reason to "condition" children not to want it- as with candy. Granted, hopefully a mother will help her daughter learn to wear it the right way- to accent her beauty rather than destroy it. But I believe it is a good thing.
I remember grade 5 when I went to school with bright red lipstick. My mom never even acknowledged it. It would have been nice for her to tell me how stupid I looked!!! :eek:Quote:

No make up for me. I am very low matinence......what the Freench call a certain.....I don't know what. lol Sorry, I felt the need to quote Austin Powers. But anyway, it only takes me like 5 minutes to get ready for school. And I love it!
I have to wear makeup, if I didn't there would be bad accidents on the highway while driving into town. I do not go out of the house without it. I don't people to be driving down the highway and somebody suddenly glance over at "me" driving, it would be like seeing Lily Munster driving a car, and I certainly don't want to cause a fatal accident. I have wore make up for the past 30 to 35 years. Of course when I was younger, I didn't wear the foundation, but now I wear the kind I have to sandblast off my face. LOL. If you don't need to wear the makeup, then you are very lucky. Very lucky.
But no joking, I can't stand to go anywhere without my makeup, and like soledad I do like makeup. Though the way I understand soledad is a very beautiful young lady, and probably don't need it.:)
I usually wear black eye liner, black m,askara, lite brown lip liner, lite brown glossy lip stick, lite brown eye shadow to make my eyes look more nice, and compact crap lol..Quote:
