RE: Make up
Permalink Closed

I wear make-up everyday too. I used to do fun things with eyeshadow and stuff on a daily basis (not like super going-out eyes, just different day time kind of colours), but then university happened and I basically do natural make-up everyday now; I think it's better for summer anyways. When I go out I do a smoky eye, or something like that, but right now my morning routine is as follows:

- Clean and Clear Morning Burst Moisturizer
- MAC concealer under my eyes
- MAC powder foundation all over (this does a good job of covering up any imperfections I have all on its own)
- Clinique bronzer stuff (I put it in the hollows-- I think that's what they're called anyway --of my cheeks to make my cheekbones more prominent and up around my temples. I have very fair skin, so this kind of warms it up and brings out my freckles more.
- Clinique or Mary Kay blush depending on whether I am feeling particularly "bright" or not; applied on the apples of my cheeks and blended towards my temples (once again, helps warm up my fair, fair skin)
- One or two coats of MAC mascara applied after curling my eyelashes
- Dark-er brown eyebrow shadow applied with an angled brush because 1) it means I have to tweeze them less often since they look more defined and 2) my hair is naturally dark-ish blonde, and it is dyed brown right now, so my eyebrows are right inbetween the two colours... and I don't like when eyebrows don't match, because then everyone knows I dye my hair (as if they don't already, but whatever)

SOMETIMES: I used a little shimmer-y eyeshadow, but it's not very much, but when I do it's either MAC (I have TONS of MAC eyeshadow) or Clinique (which I have from all the "free" gifts with purchase); I rarely use liner

The whole thing takes about 10-15 minutes. I love make-up though, so it's okay

I do full makeup every day, but it's very light/ natural looking. The first thing my Mom taught me about make up was that the point of it is to look like you aren't wearing any- that kind of stuck.

Ditto.  I just have to. 


I don't use foundation anymore, yay!  I just use blush, bronzer, lipgloss, mascara, and black liner.

Apparently I am the only one, but the only make up I wear is mascara and I only put that on sometimes.  No foundation, no nothin',  basically its just me and my chapstick (which I am totally addicted to).

On casual days, I will wear a light moisturizer and some lip gloss (usually Rosebud Salve)

When I go to school, I wear Laura Mercier Primer and Tinted Moisturizer, Clinique blush, Lancome mascara, and some lip gloss.

When I go out, I'll do all the above plus I'll line my eyes and use eyeshadow.

I'm going to do a makeup overhaul this fall when I start my new job. I think I need some new tricks!

I love makeup too! If I don't have at least a little on, I look really washed out.


At work, I wear:


powder foundation (Stila) and concealer (Stila or Maybelline)
blush (Benefit or Stila)
brow powder
eyeliner (Stila or Sephora) and eyeshadow (Stila, NARS, Sephora or Benefit)
mascara (Clinique)
lipstick in the morning, but usually not after that.


On the weekends, it's usually just powder/concealer, blush and mascara.

I despise make-up. On a daily basis, I wear concealer (usually just under my eyes cuz I have a tendency for circles), mascara, blush/bronzer mixed together and lipgloss. Sometimes I'll skip the blush and mascara and just do concealer and lipgloss.


Unless I'm going out and doing full make-up, I don't really think I look that much different with or without it.  If I'm meeting an important client or have an event for work, then I'll wear a little more (my hair might actually be straight for these occasions, as well). And when I go out at night to a bar or something, I usually brush on a shimmery eyeshadow (in addition to my above mentioned make-up). For nights out in Atlantic City or something like that, I'll do full make-up.


ETA: If I'm tan, I don't really wear anything other than mascara, sometimes lipgloss.
