I desided to use baby wipes to remove my makeup the other night. Worked great. Skin was clean and clear.
Honestly I'm just to darn lazy to wash my face.

What makeup removing/applying secrets do you have?

I rarely do, but I start with a sensitive skin lotion on bare skin. Allow that to soak in, then feather concealer on any reddened areas, sweeping my hands downward. Follow it up with a creamy base, blending it in. Dust my face with loose powder. Make sure brows are tidied up ( in between waxes ). Next the eyes. I use a dark liner on top lid only,at the lash line; chocolate brown or black. If it's liquid, I allow that to dry. Two coats of mascara, darkest black I can find. Use the eyelash curler. Then I come in with browns/golds/greens to make my hazel eyes pop. Light at brow bone, a deeper shade in the crease outward, the darkest at the outside corner of my eye. Blend it well do there's no visible lines and it looks soft.
Then a large fluffy brush in a tannish blush, looks more sun kissed than the pinks.
If I'm going out I apply a deep red, brick or wine lipstick, blot, reapply. Making a kiss face at the mirror is optional, but recommended. If not, the lips stay natural, I just use lip balm or a stain with lip balm on top.
I keep the BANG to either lips or eyes. If the lips are nude or sheer I'll come in with grays and blacks for shadow, line all the way round the eye and blend for smoky, sultry. Flip that around with a more nude eye with intense lip color.
For removal I use cold cream, nothing with perfume. Gently wash, then follow it up with a mild soap, then lotion again for moisture, making sure to include my neck.

lol VB the whole time i imagines ur DP doing all that lol....feather concealer lol!!

I absolutely love eyebrows!!!!!!!!

they must be dealt with!! they add intelligence and emotion and sooo much charisma!!

I had this chick friend and she plucked her eyebrows sooo thin and we were all getting ready to go out and I got the eyebrow pencil my mum had I did her eyebrows and her eyemakeup and my friend lent her his dress "hes a drag queen" and she looks in the mirror and i can forget what she said...."holy shit I'm hot" she was too afraid to go out looking the way she did but we made her and she ws such a slut that night hanging of guys and I'm pretty sure she was doing it in the toilets...its a gay club go figure....anyways last year I found out she got a job in napoleon perdis as a makeup artist! and this was 3 years ago I did this and she went to school to study it....and on her facbook pic shes got thick eyebrows instead of those gross thin ones she used to have

I love madonnas eyebrows and her daughter leons...I dont like monobrow lol....and I like gong li's eyebrows but only on memoirs of a geisha not curse of the golden flower

and if u find a pencil is too hard to use use eyeshadow and go lightly

but by the looks of u i think u have nice eyebrows anyways I love middle eastern guys and theyre eyebrows ok I think Ive said it too much now lol

lmaoo venusianbull! I was imagining every step!
I used to want to be a make up artist but for some reason you'll rarely find any on my face. Lately I've been wearing it though. Another secret of mine is using the blush I'm wearing on my lids. Just for a natural look, for color. Mainly when I'm having good skin day but need just some color. Today I'm wearing foundation all over, bronze that also happens to be blush and eyeshadow (I just love the all in one!), they bronze as eyeshadow and a little bit of pink at the apples of my cheeks. And a nude lipstick. I love the bronze because it's very shimery. I apply all the colors to my eyes and the shadow play comes in on it's own ^_^
Haha why am I wearing makeup lately? Because I got contact lenses! OMG Now I know what people ment about my big eyes! And it's true! I do look like I'm wearing maskira when I'm not! Long curly lashes all natural, aren't I lucky? :p
And 11 I'm so with you! I thinened my brows recently because I... sometimes I look too young. I'm mistaken for a 12 year old sometimes! But I think that ones because of the way I didn't dress up or wear makeup. I'm growing my brows back a bit. I love them thick! The things they do to the eyes! GOD it's beautiful! As long as it's groomed lol because some are too wild. But I love it when it looks wild but clear! YUMMM!

You do it before the mascara, or at least I do. Afterwards you wind up looking like Liza Minelli with a finger in a light socket. Surprised. πŸ˜‰ Bring it in as close the lash line as possible, squeeze gently and hold for no longer than 10 seconds.

I do buy a lot of makeup, like eyeshadow and other products. I could stand in the store, browsing and trying out that stuff for HOURS. And then I go home, put it away and never look at it again πŸ˜„

Ohhh you should see my makeup bag! Full of beautiful colors and different types of eyeshadows! But I rarely wear any. I have allot of lipsticks too. I only use like, four. It's my favorite of all! Lipstick! The smell, the taste, the feeling, ohhh ^_^ MAC LipStick Yummmmm....! And it's easy and fast to apply πŸ˜›

Do you use the curler after you applied your mascara? My friend did that once, and her eyelashes broke off :/
I rarely use mine, never see any difference.. (could be that I'm doing it all wrong)

Must Must Must before -before- maskara! It's Dangerous to do it wrong!

lol!

secret's out πŸ˜›

I use only baby wipes, baby bath, soaps, lotions, etc... any with no fragrance, hypo-allergenic... for makeup removal, freshening up, shower/bath, whatever...

The only place I use non-baby product is my hair.

I have to say the transmission my skin has experienced since I have stuck to all baby stuff is amazin'! Pores are smaller, no more random breakouts or unpredicatability... And it's way cheaper than the adult stuff.

^^^i do the same! I love baby lotion (they have better smelling ones too). ive never used baby wipes on my face though. i do have some makeup remover wipes that i use but 5 days a week i take a shower before bed so the makeup comes off there. its worth a try though and im sure its way cheaper than the ones i use though

Awsome! I am so going to switch to all around baby product! I need my pores to become smaller. Just the idea makes me feel good since baby products are suposed to be gentle and clean without strong ingrediances.
