Ladies do you wear Make-up every day ?

Bonnie said:
Yes, Eyeliner makes a BIG difference to the look.

Getting this done via Tattoo is very common too. ....
I had the procedure done years ago - but over the years it wears away, especially when you swim in chlorinated water often.

Have you considered having the tattooing refreshed, Bonnie?
 
As I said earlier, I wear under-eye concealer to help disguise dark-ish circles and a bit of blush on my cheeks. Doing so makes me feel a bit better about myself when I catch a glance in the bathroom mirror.
 
I have worn some makeup sometimes. It never stayed on.

Often it was impractical because of my job (e.g., cooking or outdoor labor). And I didn't feel it improved any aspect of my life.

So now I don't wear makeup.

Not really.
I enjoyed it while it lasted for many years ... but that was then and this is now ..lol

They still have me on their customer mailing list, and I get invitations to come back in every now and then.
I won't be doing that, but I still think it's a great service to have available.
 
I used to wear makeup daily until I retired. Now I rarely wear it. Tomorrow I am going to my stepson’s wedding so I will wear it.
 
Sitting here thinking about it I'm not sure I can remember when I last wore makeup. It's been within the past 5 yrs. But, I don't anymore. Between the price of the makeup & the fact that the products don't do what they claim, I have just decided to jump off the makeup bandwagon. Plus it's not practical with my job or with masks.
 
The annoying thing I found was once a favourite foundation, lipstick, eyeshadow etc was used for many a year the lot were discontinued. Then the hunt begins to find suitable substitutes. :rolleyes:

One springs to mind was the Max Factor liquid foundation. I used the shade Nouveau Beige for ages. Then it was stopped. They do still sell the shade in face powder and Pan Stik, but I so liked the liquid form.
 
And ... I've tried to find "organic" makeup, or at least makeup that doesn't have toxic ingredients. I've done okay with that.

I know what you mean about discontinuing products. My #1 favorite was always Max Factor's whipped creme foundation.. oil-based and thicker than the liquid. It also had a really nice, light scent.

But when I found it on Amazon or ebay a few years ago, it was NOT the same product. It wasn't actually discontinued (at least not at that time) but yet another example of when companies are taken over by different companies and the products are nothing like the originals.
 
I always preferred to wear make-up, but since I developed vertigo from inner-ear condition and needed to sleep in one specific position, it resulted in fluidy build-up underneath my eyes, and no matter what I've tried I can't get rid of it. And cosmetics- even concealors- only made it look worse.

Didn't know what to do when I went to a special event recently, so all I used was some tinted moisturizer.

Gloria, are you still getting Botox now at 92 ?... how long have you been using Botox on your face?...
 
I don't like the feeling of make up on my face, so I rarely use it. I use moisturiser, and occasionally a tinted BB cream moisturiser if I'm going into town (because y'know...mingling with people). :cautious:
 
Yes except when I'm sick. When my eyeballs see an unmade up face reflected back at them they think I belong in bed and they are usually right. It makes me feel so much better physically to have makeup on so I will try to always do this much for myself. It's just healthier for me personally.
 
I've always been a huge fan of lipstick. I'd be embarrassed to tell you how many I have and I just ordered another one. It will probably will be a little redder than I like but I often combine colors to create new ones on my lips. And bonus...it was on sale. I tried to post a picture of it but I can't seem to figure out how to do it. It's Armani Beauty Ecstasy Shine.
