Let's talk cosmetics

[Tea Please]

Do you wear make-up, if so what line? And do you leave the house without it?


Me, I don't have a particular brand that I always buy. Whatever strikes my fancy at the time. I don't usually wear a lot of make-up but I won't leave the house without blush & lipstick.

I wear a combination of Clinique and MAC, but will *occasionally* (not very often) leave the house without it. Clinique High Impact Mascara is a miracle.

 

[browneyes]

I have all kinds. Mary Kay, Maybelline, Max Factor, Cover Girl, etc. I mix and match everything.

I normally go without makeup on the weekends and just wear it to work during the week, but if I have a lunch or dinner date with my family or my friends, I'll put it on.

 

[coliebird]

Same answer as Browneyes. I try not to wear it on the weekends. I like to give my face a rest.

I hate makeup! Having said that I have a shoe box full of every kind of makeup known to women kind but I mostly use mascara and lip-gloss and I wear no makeup on weekends.

I wear Clinique. I love their products. I work 3 days a week, and that's how many days I wear makeup. My sons don't care whether I have mascara on or not!!

I wear make-up every day. I always tell my husband that I know I've had a good day on those rare occasions that I don't have to put make-up on, though! I use Clinique & Mary Kay cleansing products, and Mary Kay make-up almost exclusively. My MIL sells MK and I get it for free!

Clinique here! Both dd15 and I use all their products from cleansers to mascara.

They don't add perfume to their products to make them smell strong.

We love them!

I use Mary-Kay only. I have very sensitive skin and they're products have always done well for me.

I wear make up every day during the week, but only put it on if we're going out during the weekend. My face seems to look better if I give it a day or two "off" from my make-up.

 

[Blondie]

I swear by Clinique! From their foundation to their moisturizers.

On my days off from work, if I'm just running out to the grocery store, the only makeup I'll bother with is eyeliner and undereye concealer. Oh, and some lip color too.

I also think it's important to giveyour skin a rest and let those pores breath!

 

[BHFan25]

I use Bare Minerals for foundation 9 x out of 10.
The rest is Lauren Hutton's Face Disc. All in one handy-dandy compact.
I wear it every day for work.

 

[tkyes]

I don't use a specific brand for makeup. I have everything from Aveda to Clinique to Maybelline - it just depends.

Facial cleansing I use only Clinique though, as well as their dramatically different moisturizing lotion.

You won't catch me walking out of the house without some sort of makeup on, even if it's just blush and lip gloss. Me without makeup is a frightening sight!!!

For face cleansing and make-up, I am a Clinique girl all the way. The only product I do not buy from Clinique is mascara---I think I buy cover girl (?? whatever is the one in the green and pink bottle). I just went yesterday to the Clinique counter cause I needed clarifying lotion and lipstick and the gal told me next week was bonus week. I really needed the clarifying lotion, so she told me I could pick out something else and she would hold it for me til Monday, charge my credit card that day, and all I would have to do is come in and pick up my merchandise and not fight the crowds. Okay! So of course I picked out a few more things- a new eyeshadow, a bar of cleansing soap and some base makeup. The funny thing is, I probably only put on makeup 3-4 times a week....since I stay at home now, I don't really see the need most days. If I am going out to eat or to church or to see friends I will, but not necessarily if I am just going to the grocery store.

I seldom wear make-up. Only on special occasions. I bought a Sally hansen thing in the grocery store a coupe of weeks ago that is like a compact with 2 colors of eyeshadow, 2 colors of lipstick, and 1 color of blush all in the same thing for $6.99. I bought make-up brushes at the dollar store to go with it. That's about as much as I do for make-up.

 

[preshi]

I buy cheap stuff because I can find knockoffs of the expensive stuff and they work just as well.

Mostly Max Factor for foundation, Wet & Wild (can't beat the 99 cent lip liner and 1.69 lip gloss plus blush and bronzer) Maybelline mascara and Jane eyeshadows which have fantastic pigment. I also scope Sephora and occassionally buy something fun like the Eyeko Felt Lip Pen which is a stain. It's fantastic and my lips stay that color all day. Just re-apply gloss and voila.

 

[Tuffcookie]

These days I rarely wear make-up. For Spring Break vacation I plan on buying a couple of those long-lasting lipcolors and some blush just so I won't look so washed out in any pictures.

I've been trying out Beauticontrol stuff lately and I find that I really like it. I use the foundation/powder stuff...they don't call it foundation, and I use the bronzer. I still use lancome mascara and max factor lips.

I feel I need to put on some sort of lip cover even if I don't have on anything else. My lips are lighter and make me look so washed out if I have no color on!
