Just Chapstick. I touch my face too much for anything else plus I'm a redhead so it's hard to find good colors.

I'm not into make up anymore. If I look too nice, people think I'm a prostitute or asking to be raped. I apparently give the wrong impression or put out the wrong "vibe" when I look nice--so I have to be careful.

I like to put it on for church or business. At my age, I stick primarily to warm colors (cool colors look harsh on middle-aged skin, I think) and cream bases rather than powders. Eye liner is a must for me because my lashes are pretty sparse, but I can't stand mascara.

I only wear makeup when I go somewhere nice, like a date or just feel like dressing up. Oh yeah and to go to work. But Im far from hubba-hubba lol. But I do think I look nice when I dress up

But most of the time I don't wear makeup.

I love makeup and have bought a ton of it over the last year or so, but I still haven't worn any of it. I don't go out much and usually when I do, it's nowhere special, and I don't feel like taking the time to put the makeup on. I used to love to wear makeup when I was young. I just look at my aging face and feel like crap.

I love lipsticks and eye shadows most.

I have always loved makeup. Back when I was in high school and officially allowed to wear it (13), I would wear complementary colors: lavender on my eyes and rose on my lips, pale green on my eyes and apricot on my lips. I always used to get a lot of compliments on my makeup, and people always asking me to do theirs. I even went to school for it but never ended up doing it professionally, though I have done some weddings and the like. In recent years I've gotten out of it, not really sure why. I guess with the mental health stuff it kind of made everyday life stuff seem unimportant, useless, trivial. But I still go through periods, or have special occasions or dates with my partner, where I will wear makeup. I have dark hair and eyes, and lately I have been using black eyeliner, black eyeshadow, and mascara, and then clear lip gloss. Sometimes I'll wear something a bit different: red lips, pale frosty shadow, cat's-eye eyeliner. Or more Earth mama stuff, with this glow stick I got from Lush that's a pale rosy pink and a glitter bar, and just mascara, and colored lip balm.

Since my 13th birthday! I wear cheap cover girl foundation, cover girl powder with the big poof lol, cover girl brown eyebrow pencil, great lash black mascara, loreal liquid black eyeliner, white eyeliner on my lids, rose rouge, and a mauve lipstick. That's when I do my makeup "deluxe" lol. My basic package does not include the white eyeliner or the lipstick, the eyeliner or the eyebrows lol.

I don't bother to wear make up when hubby is away (which is frequently) as I have no one to see and nowhere to go. But I won't venture out without my make up on as I look like a hag.

I wear foundation, powder, blush, eyeliner, eyeshadow (browns) and black mascara but I never bother with lipstick anymore.

I sometimes do, especially as I have quite tired-looking skin and spots so it makes a big difference. I wear foundation and powder (or a powder foundation like Benefit Play Stick), a bit of pink blusher, mascara and maybe some eyeliner and lipgloss. Not a big lipstick person. Took me a long time to work out what colours suit me - I'm pale with dark brown hair and green eyes, and I seem to suit grey, silver, taupe and pale green on my eyes. No brown eye make-up, it just doesn't work on me.

I love buying a few new make-up bits when I'm feeling a bit down. My fave products are Benefit Play Sticks, Dandelion blusher and Bad Gal mascara, Barry M waterproof eye pencils, Bourjois eye shadows, Lancôme Liner Feutre eyeliner and Boots No. 7 powder.

Not anymore. I used to wear (discreet) make up everyday. I would apply concealer to cover dark circles under my eyes and mascara for the day. Eye shadow and lipgloss for a night out. (: Sometimes I would apply a blush for my cheeks (especially during winter) to help me look less pale.

I will occassionally wear a little lip gloss, but normally don't wear any.

For most of my adult life I worked on a farm traing horses. Wearing make-up would've been a waste. Now that a work indoors I just can't be bothered to wear it. Some time ago someone commented on my wrinkles. I told 'em I earned every last one of those wrinkles and am proud of them. Then again the comment came from someone who never leaves the house without full make-up.

I wear makeup almost every day, because it makes me feel a little better about myself. I don't wear very much though, just mascara and concealer.

I usually do. Without, I look like a kid/teen. For the most part, eyeliner, mascara and lipstick. If I wear black eyeliner, I use powdered eyeshadow for that smoky look. If I wear the purple eyeliner, I can go without the eyeshadow. I have two shade of lipsticks, pink or Silverstone. And my eyeshadow is brown and an offwhite, compliments the brown eyes and my skin tone. I have my set brands and that's about it.

My skin tone is fair and with my auburn hair and brown eyes, I need something on my lips.
I feel completely naked if I am not wearing my favorite lip color and a little shimmery brown eye liner. That is about it.

*If I have had a hard night or am feeling particularly stressed and it is taking its toll, I found a great bb cream (Flower to the rescue! )to even out my skin tone.
