Women and their facial makeup…

[Fritz]

I don't care for powder cuz it enhances every crack on my face. I just use tinted moisturizer and light lipstick. I bought some mascara but i don't know if i'll use it.

I recall reading somewhere that the most carefully applied makeup makes you look as though you aren't wearing any. That's what I shoot for: nothing too heavy, just foundation to smooth and even my skin tone, and no eye makeup except mascara. Plus, of course, I think everyone can tell if a woman is wearing lipstick, so I don't really count that.

Usually I just make up my eyebrows. I don't like my browless look. On special occasions I put lipstick on too.

No makeup for me except an occasional blemish covering liquid. If people don't like me the way I am, that's their problem.

This isn't me - just an example of going overboard with cosmetics.

Agree that is a lot of makeup she’s wearing in the pic !

To each, their own .. whatever makes a person feel comfortable.

My thoughts exactly!!!

It is interesting that some people seem to change dramatically with make up - and other's stay pretty natural looking.

As said above, people should do what makes them happy! I like watching videos where people put on makeup.

I don't wear make-up, but it would certainly help

I prefer the natural beauty of a woman.

unfortunately I can't see that well anymore (macular Deg) to put on makeup. On September 13th however, I'm going to try a bit of blush, very light mauve eye shadow and a bit of lipstick. Our dear granddaughter is getting married! Yay!

I haven't worn makeup in decades and often get compliments on my skin.

Depends on my mood. 90 percent of the time - no I do not. If going to doctor or some rare function I wear tinted moisturizer -, add to the brows, I flip and dip of black brown mascara. Bit of blush and some lipstick for color.

I ought to do that and send a photo to my daughter. I'll get all gussied up and have her believin'! She is, among other things, a makeup artist for the theatre. She will have a cow when she believes it is real. Thanks for the idea!

I quit making up a few years ago when I moved to these rural mountains. However, 15+ years ago, I had permanent eyeliner and lipstick done. The lips have faded, the eyeliner could use some touching up but I just don't care anymore.

This is me, take it or leave it.

 

[Medusa]

I put my make-up on every morning; it's part of my routine. Tinted moisturizer, mascara and light eye shadow. Maybe a little smudge stick on my nose. However, I do this for me and no one else. I like the way my make-up looks and that's all that matters.

For the record, my husband likes the way I look with or without, cause he's lovely like that.

I like the 2nd one - enhances her appearance without overdoing it. Of course her hair is brushed in after pic too so that helps too.

First lady has overdone it IMO.

 

[Trish]

I have always used skin care products and I like natural looking make-up so, yes, I still wear some. Tinted moisturisers are really good and much nicer than heavy foundation and powder.

I also stopped wearing make up. The only make up I use is a bit of blush. I used to always wear eye liner and mascara but have stopped doing that. Every once in a while I’ll wear it.

My wife loved to get all dolled up when we would go out to the theater or the opera. Sometimes it would take her an hour or more just to do her makeup.
