Makeup?

[CathyBogart]

I wear makeup only on occasion, and when I do it's usually subtle eye makeup and a touch of powder bronze.

But I don't think everyone should wear it. You should only do it if you truly enjoy the process.

Totally Agree!!!
I LOVE MAKEUP!!!
ALL OF IT!!!
I LOVE TO BUY IT!! I LOVE LIPSTICK!!
Hello my name is Staci, and I have an addiction to makeup..............and am darn proud of it!!
I love to buy new things!! They make me feel good about myself. My sister has been selling AVON for a couple years and I shudder to think about how much I have paid her!!!
I sometimes just whip it on in about 5-7 minutes but if I am going out I take a little extra time for my eyes.
I have had Mary Kaye sellers come up to me and ask me what I used b/c I had the prettiest makeup they had ever seen. Course I had to tell them that I am not loyal to one brand.
One of my favorite foundations is Revlon Colorstay. I wore that for about 3-4 years until I was at a wedding in May and b/c I had been tanning and my makeup was lighter, In all the pics I had a white mask. I went to the Clinique counter and had my foundation matched within a week of seeing those pics!!! That bothered me soooooo much!!!
Course with the alcohol I had consumed also my neck was all red so that didn't help matters any. But I am pretty happy with my Clinique foundation now. And I also really like Cover Girls Aqua smooth compact foundation. It goes on very nice and even and smooth and pretty quick. Sometimes I throw that on for work. And I have the Almay Nearly Naked that I keep in my purse, b/c it just isn't enough cover for my day to day routine, but works if I have a touchup.
One of my favorite lipglosses are the Avon Glazewear. I just love those!!! I think I have like at least 6 of them in different colors!! But I just love lipstick, any kind. That is my vice.
I also like mascara. I bought some stuff off of QVC that is a fibrous thing in a tube that you put over your wet mascara and it makes your lashes MILES long. Its called Fast Lash and I think it is by Laura Gellar. It was expensive but worth it. BUT I found that the Jane Line of Makeup makes this HI FIBER mascara that does the same thing works just as well for less than $4!!!!

I wear it lol. just to cover blemishes lol ..

Staci when you get older try the REVLON AGE DEFYING foundation, its excellent for the more mature looking woman, I should know lol.

I really like REVLON products and LOREAL and of course good old AVON.

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 try not to screw up....

Therefore, I have no need to make-up.

[carole]

Aren't we the witty one today,? ha ha, Richard very good.LOL

I love all MAC products. I've tried everything they've got and absolutely love it all. They're employees (at the MAC stores, not so much at the malls) are very very well trained and do a great job. Pricey, but worth every penny!

Carole, it is ALL in the application. Use a lip puffer-upper..I use something by Lancome (who should worship me for the money I spend at their counter) to rid yourself of the cracks/crevices. Then, after it is dry, use a pencil, and do both the outline and the lip in that colour. Then, use a lip colour, and blot with tissue, then, use a clear sort of gel- I use Lancome Juicy Tubes! and blot slightly. I think that really sets it. I know some people use powder, too.

Lancome, Lancome, Lancome. I don't subscribe to their facial cleansing system (since I am NOT going back to school again for the tutorial). I use a moisturizer, eye creme and lip creme. Then, foundation- and I use a sheer one, Lancome...nice and light coverage, to even the tones. Then, pressed powder and blush. Turning your attention to my eyes, I use a eye foundation to help the eye shadow stick, and line my eyes with a pencil. Then, I use Lancome's something something mascara. But, I am going back to Covergirl...I dont notice any difference, besides the price. I was using the brow stuff, but, that was just getting too carried away for most days.

Now, I can go a weekend without make up, if I am not going 'out'.

I have had many a friends (formerly, he he) that professed their opinion about natural v. made up , God gave me this look, blah, blah, blah...WHATEVER! God also gave you a nekkid body, deoderant free armies, and plain jane hair, .....so, just don't go there. And, it is rare that I see someone without makeup that couldn't look a little more 'finished' with it. Now, I am not arguing someone's right not to wear it...but, I do think it is a more polished look. I am not talking about wearing it to jobs where you sweat, to the gym, running out to get milk...but, in general type situtions.

I use make-up religiously. I really never leave the house without it. I'm not really vain, but I guess when it comes to that I am. <shrug> I like wearing it... I'm all about being a girly girl and make-up is a part of that.

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.

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

[Twisterdog]

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.

One of my favorite foundations is Revlon Colorstay.

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.)
