Very very occasionally I will dress up and wear a bit of makeup, but even then it's usually just some foundation and lip gloss, I don't do much with my eyes as eye makeup irritates me and makes me uncontrollably teary, plus I wear glasses anyway so it'd be hard to see
I wear make-up probably 4-5 days per week because I like the way it makes me feel. If Im not wearing it I feel like Im not dressed properly and I rarely leave home without it on. I usually wear moisturiser, foundation, blush, eyeliner, eyeshadow and lip gloss, all in neutral shades.
Btw I have pale skin so I look like a ghost without it on!
I usually wear a bit of mineral foundation and pressed powder over the top. i get my eyelashes tinted so i dont worry about mascara. when i go out i'll put on some eye shadow (usually light colour).
i dont have any kids yet so we'll see what happens when they come along!!!
Even on home days I wear mascara blush eye liner pressed powder and eyebrow pencil. I have no eyebrows without it ad they are so fair/blonde, yet my hair is naturally dark!
It is all applied quite lightly. For going out to a function I go much heavier usulLy eyeshaddow in coal co ours/ shades.
I love the dramatic eye look,
If it's a home day...my tinted Moo Goo anti ageing cream and then Clinique Tinted moistriser. I get my eye lashes tinted regualarly so I don't have to wear mascara on 'normal' days. On other days I wear a mascara as well.
Day out or work
Moo Goo Anti aging cream for moisturiser
Mac liquid foundation..love it!!
Clinique pencil eye liner (usually brown)
Clinique black mascara
Liquid eyeshadow, at the moment I have some Calvin Klein one I have been wearing for a few years, it's now discontinued, so I went on Ebay and go more.
On my cheeks, Clinique Uplighting liquid.
Lips, Estee Lauder Lip Gloss
I powder my nose through the day with a clinique face powder.
Every day I wear foundation, bronzer & mascara. If I'm going out I wear a bit of eye liner and lip gloss. If I'm just chilling at home I use my thin lizzy.

in summer, i put on face moisturiser that has sunscreen in it.
my skin has changed as i've aged, i no longer know what to buy, or how to apply it, to look ok (e.g foundation). I would really like to know how to do that basic. with crows feet and wrinkles, powder is not a friend to me, so i can't get into the mineral foundations that you brush on.
So i feel what's the point buying the stuff, when i don't know what i'm doing, totally unsure what shades to buy. I see "looks" on tv that i would like to copy, like the no makeup look lip gloss. I've asked for help at shops, and just been sold stuff that i regret when i get home, and friends say "that foundation is wrong for you".
the last few years, eye makeup has really started to make my eyes react alot, so i've bought an organic mascara (in brown, cos i'm so fair). Never been able to wear eyeliner INSIDE the eyes, and the eyeliner on the eyelids, drags on the skin.
hardly ever go out, but i would like to look "presentable", so that when i'm out in public with bilby, that she won't be ashamed of me, especially being an older mum.
Pretty much every day: moisturiser and some coverage (either mineral powder or tinted moisturiser), lippie, eye shadow and mascara. Takes no more than two minutes all up.
Special occasions: a better foundation and ... pretty much the same lippie, eye shadow and mascara
For me it's light foundation (usually M.A.C Face and Body), cream blush for both cheeks and lips (most creamy products can do double-duty), mascara and eyebrow pencil (eyebrows frame the face!).
Though I'm a makeup artist so I love to experiment and am lucky to have lots to choose from. For a big night out I like bright lips with minimal face makeup or smokey eyes and big lashes.
There are no rules with makeup, it should always be fun
Makeup is one of my favourite things. Even though I don't wear it everyday... but when I do I know what I'm doing. I learnt through other people, makeup artists (although I'm yet to meet one that will apply the colour tones I like LOL) and you tube
Just play. That's all you need to do.
My biggest advice is when you start to get serious make sure you put some money towards good brushes. My brushes are probably as priceless to me as my jewellery LOL.
Good advice. YouTube is a great resource. If anyone's interested, I recommend:
- Lisa Eldridge
- Pixiwoo
- Enkore
- Makeupgeektv
- Gossmakeupartist
- Makeupbytiffanyd
- Misschievous Makeup
- Askmemakeup.
You don't need to know how to do it to have fun! As I said, there are no rules
I wear it everyday without fail!It;s a sick additiction I wear-
foundation - L'oreal true match
blush - any brand as long as it's not dodgy
mascara - maybelline great lash - the old school kind!
powder - L'oreal
I never wear lipstick though as it makes me feel 'old' even though I think it looks great on other people. The Dior lipgloss in great! If I go out I usually wear more mascara and put some eyeliner on with a more 'heavy' look than the daytime.. Just make sure if you wear foundation it's not too dark - it's so gross when some women have the mask line on the jaw ewwww
