Hey, would you happen to have a list or something with the MAC products that are vegan?

I can check on that for you.

They also have a web site that you could check out. I'm pretty sure you can e-mail them questions.

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.

Small children have been known to run at the sight of me without makeup on

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 I feel totally naked without it!
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????

[2kitties]

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!

[2kitties]

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

Thanks! I’m headed to Prescriptives after work today! Wish me luck!

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.
