Growing up I'd a bad experience with makeup which affected how I deal with it and how and what I wear!
So, question is: Did you have a good or bad experience? Has a female relative helped or ruined your use of makeup?
My maternal grandmother wore her makeup as a blend of Betty Boop and Queen Elizabeth I, the Tudor Queen.
Gramps referred to it as being applied and removed with a trowel.
It was white base foundation, either cream or powder, then followed by two 10pence size red rouge on her cheeks, same wild red Betty Boop fashion on her lips, lashes and lashes of black mascara and eyeliner.
As someone who eventually needed to wear glasses for medium myopia, it meant that what I saw coming towards me, were 3 red spots who looked like an angry red face. Scary for a two years old.
Mother wore false eyelashes ONLY for attending weddings, plus foundation, light coloured blush and lipstick. Sibling went overboard.
Same grandmother with that much makeup, would scream at us girls, if we came home from school at lunchtime with homework from teachers to wash our faces with either pond cream, noxzema or just soap. The word was very hurtful... Begins with W ends in E.
During teenage years, I was entered by fellow students into a modelling contest. I won a full education on Day, Office, Evening and Theatrical makeup.
I prefer wearing glasses over contacts, so mascara's a no-no, same with falsies, scratches in lenses.
Foundation caused problems with tzone and acne. Mostly it's blush plus lipstick, these days it's lipstick only. For special occasion, I do the natural version of makeup at that modelling school.
I've square finger nails with very small nail beds. A result of a heart attack suffered by Mother while expecting me. I'm blessed with white tops and pink beds, natural French manicure.
Therefore, I wear one clear coat with partial white on tips. Over the years many guys (which surprised me very much) said they preferred fresh faced girlfriends lol!
Your turn now, what was your experiences growing up and what if how much did you ended up wearing, makeup wise?
