Favorite makeup

I would just like to say that as a Clinique consultant it makes me feel really good to read all the positive comments regarding the products. It makes me feel proud to work for the company.

What's all this fuss about make-up? If you're ugly, you're ugly!

Anyways, whenever I "go out" a little blue eyeshadow and frosty lipstick will do it.

So I guess I am succumbing to the magnetism of this thread for all girls . So here is what I use:

I swear by plain old Dove soap for my face and body. I believe it's compatible with all skin types.

Follow with Oil Of Olay SPF 15 lotion. *Note* Make sure you apply some kind of SPF every day to your neck and chest area. These areas age faster than facial skin and have an appearance 7 years older than that of the skin on the rest of your body. This is how you can tell if a person has had a facelift, etc. The face will appear youthful while the neck reveals the true age of the skin plus 7 years.

I don't really wear mascara since my eyelashes are already dark and long and I'm pretty sure I look like I'm wearing false lashes a la Tammy Fay when I wear mascara. But I must wear Body Shop's black liquid liner. On the bottom I wear a little smudged Black Kohl penicl liner. DO NOT wear liquid liner under your eyes unless you are a pro. It looks very odd and very "Cabaret"-ish.

I swear by cream rouge on the cheeks or Body Shops blush beads applied on the forehead, nose, cheeks, and chin for a natural sun kissed look.

On the lips is plain old Carmex. $1.39.

I am another Clinique fan, won't leave the house without Almost Makeup. I love it because it is so light, and also has SPF 15. I also am a Chapstick, Carmex, Softlips fiend, but was told recently by a dermatologist that plain old vaseline is the best for keeping your lips moisturized and soft. It works great, and I put some on before bed every night. I love Maybelline mascara the best, and think it works even better than more expensive brand names.

Why do a lot girls wear mascara to dances and parties, when they know they are going to wind up
crying later?

Why would a girl expect to cry at a dance or party? I don't think I understand your question.

Do you mean, that for stuff like weddings, etc. where there is a possibility of crying, women should not wear makeup or try to look prettier? That's what waterproof makeup and bathrooms at receptions are for! lol

lovelyivy explains it really well. You should try Lancome Eternicils. Lasts FOREVER on me. I can go swimming w/it if I want! However, it's really hard to take off so I have to use Bi-Facils by Lancome to remove it (the only remover that I've tried -- and I've tried many -- that actually removes totally waterproof mascara).

So expensive but very worth it. I've had too many embarrasing instances where I've had black-streaked cheeks after crying.

While in Australian, I find that North American brands like Cover Girl, Max Factor and Maybelline are quite expensive (for what you get!)

I discovered this brand in Australia, Napolean.

The stuff is great, and I think they want to set up shop in North America soon. The quality is like MAC and Napolean himself is a makeup artist, who had a hand is the development and creation of his own makeup line.

Anyhow, I love the stuff and it is wonderful!
