Since I was a teenager I started using makeup (at first behind my mother's back), and playing around with highlights and hair color. I used to use those plastic caps at home and pull strands of my brownish/auburn hair to highlight in blond....painful!
Used to tweeze my eyebrows and use powder color on them, also black mascara and eye shadow in creme or powder, usually muted greens, browns, greys. Never really wore lipstick or nail polish.
Now I wear less than I did, and go a lot of days without makeup. I don't do anything with my eyebrows anymore but tweeze the lower strays, my brows and thin and light colored. No more mascara, will put a little on once in a blue moon if I go out somewhere, but very rarely. With seasonal allergies and itchy eyes, it's just a hassle to have on. When I do wear shadow, it's a light to medium brown now, and a light black/charcoal line under my lower lashes. Never liked to use blush.
I don't have a fancy routine for skin, will use Curel Ultra Healing on my hands, neck and body a lot. In the daytime I use Alba Hawaiian moisture cream aloe and green tea, at night I sometimes use Alba Jasmine and Vitamin E. Still touch up my hair as I always have, but now it's greying, I use an auburn color Naturtint Terracotta Blond, not too many harsh chemicals in it. I'd likely go grey if my hubby didn't prefer the auburn. My clothes are casual always, jeans or cargo pants with a tee shirt and hiking shoes or sneakers.
