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:

Oh, Trayi52, if you only knew!! LOL....;)
Yes, Trayi and Soledad, I feel my makeup is a public service.
Yes, public service for sure, I feel like when I put my makeup on and go out in public, I feel great, I am saving lives!!:D ;)
Does anybody use Philosophy skincare products?
I mail ordered the foot scrub and it arrived last week. It smells like eucalyptus and I could spend all day with my head in the jar! (Some would say this is a good thing ...) Seriously, it's great for feet and I've been scrubbing my hands with it too and they are nice and smooth :)
I LOVE Philosophy! I like almost all of their products, especially the Gingerbread Man body scrub.....it's yummy. :)Quote:

I started wearing light lip gloss at about 12. Mascara at about 13-14. Eyeliner, blush and eye shadow at about 15. I think those ages are about right. I'd follow those ages with my daughter as long as she didn't make herself look tacky. I'd be especially happy if she was comfortable going without makeup. I am not.
I don't like some makeup because sometimes they test on animals.:( I hate that. All companies do not test on animals, but I have never liked makeup. I just never have.

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!!!!!
I signed up for her newsletter awhile ago (free one) when do you get them b/c I haven't gotten one yet. :(
I just re-signed up so hopefully that will work.:p
i have naturally rosie Cheeks. My eyes stand out due to my hair cut. I rarly get pimples. So all I wear is Mascara. TO be truthful I don't know how to put Eye shadow on properly. THe only time I ever wore it, I wore it to school and my friend grabed my hand drug me to the bathroom and told me I looked like a freak :D I love my friends!!!

Do I like makeup??? Uh, YES!!! :)
I have to do a Christmas list for my parents and I think over 75% of it consisted of new makeup from Sephora and Aveda I want to try or need. :)
My newest obsession is Vincent Longo's "Curl" Mascera! AMAZING!! Go get it! :) I also just got Stila's lip gloss that comes in a metal paint tube...LOVE IT!! My favorite brands are Aveda, Stila, Vingent Longo, Philosophy and Urban Decay.
I was allowed to make up once I turned 13. For my birthday, my mom took me to a salon where they taught me how to apply it.
