I am 50 and I do not wear any even cream. Just lip gloss.

I think I going to get facial and all for kids wedding.

My friends always wore a lot of make up and I had tried once and man in a

shoe store once came up to me and said 'honey, if I take you to the sink

and wash it crap off would you be still as pretty?' And I said 'even better'...

But his words stuck in my head until now. So I save a lot of money I guess.

I wish I knew were they are🙂

I can do both sensual earth, or erotica and different.

Back in the day I color coordinated my eyeshadow with what I wore, on the shirt .

Now I just do whatever I feel. I actually am a vampire and I work noc shift so I do have concealer for my bagged eyes, and some nice tones of color to my eyes more than anything else.

I'm tired of looking tired because how I work alot at night for 12 hours. So I at least I look presentable at work.

Every day I go to work.

And every time I leave the house, aside from that.

In varying degrees of course.

I didn't wear makeup for YEARS because it felt

awful on my face... but I've since found that most

drugstore makeup is shit, and if you take a bit of

time to research your skin type and get some take

home samples (esp with foundation) from the better

brands, you may find what works for you.

Less is always more, and enhancing what you've already

got is pretty gratifying.

I never do all of that contour/highlight, extreme eye makeup

crap though... My gaaaah, it's crazy the amount of makeup

some people wear. o.O

I wear makeup everyday unless I'm really ill. And as soon as I feel better on goes my face (makeup). When my brain sees a made up face in the mirror it tells me I'm feeling great and can accomplish anything I choose. I like that feeling.

Eyeliner is an everyday must. I use kat Von d tattoo liner for my upper lid and stilla smudge stick for my waterline. Sometimes I do winged eyeliner. Love that! If I'm going out clubbing, I might do a smokey eye. If I do mascara, it's a three step process- prime, curl, and then apply.

I use to think like that until I tried it and LOOOOOOVED the end result I do a full face and half face almost everyday. That's eye makeup, false lashes, foundation, highlighting and contouring, and I love it even more that most women can't do all that so I stand out, and steal the show —?? I love it.

Me too! I feel like a glam model, fabulous, like a fine wine, vibrant I LOVE IT! LOL the only time I don't wear makeup is when I feel depressed, lazy, or feel ugly. When I'm feeling confident motivated and not lazy I wear makeup. That's why I laugh when people say only insecure women or ugly women wear a ton of makeup.

Only eyeliner unless I'm wearing my glasses. With glasses on I don't put anything on my eyes 'cause I don't see the point lol

I don't use mascara, it's sticky and I'm lazy to remove it.

And usually I only wear lip balm on. When I'm in a good mood though and pick a more interesting outfit, I like to put on some groovy lipstick that goes well with the clothes : ) Like purple!

I wear makeup everyday whenever I go out (including school). I would put minimal of makeup as I don't want to go overboard. I use BB cream, concealor, blusher, lips thats all. I rarely use eyeliner as my eyes are big, also mascara xD i didnt do my eyebrows nor contouring at all (natural look at its best!)

It depends on my mood, if I have more time before i leave for school.

I used to put eyeshadow during my freshman year and second year of college, in my final year doing my final year project, I couldn't care less putting eyeshadow to cover my upper eye area as I have to rush for morning classes.

If I have nothing to do at home, I would do a full face makeup.

Weddings, parties, and date-nights only!

...And when I do...it's only lipstick.

The women in my family age gracefully, Mom, Aunties and Grandma included.

In my eyes, they're rock stars!

Secret:

Avoid everyday makeup.

Avoid processed foods.

Dance, and lighten up.

Smile.

Be stress free

Be content with the imperfections that God gave you.

I wear makeup almost everyday for work, but it's the bare minimum to look done but still natural: waterlined eyeliner, mascara, foundation, eyebrows, and lipstick.

On my days out with friends or pictures, I like wearing makeup depending on the occasion. On a good one I like to pull out the contour and eyeshadow and extra things. On a regular day, it's as if I'm going to work.

I am a fan of makeup and I wear light makeup every day. I just apply some moisturizer, eyeliner and lip gloss regularly, but when I need to attend a wedding or a special occasion I love to apply full makeup. Like recently I went to an engagement party at event venues Boca Raton for which I applied concealer, compact powder, eye liner, lipstick and blush. I feel so happy after doing makeup, it makes me feel complete.

I am often amazed at the skills some girls have ...not in terms of they need to ...or wow the power of make up ..

It's just they can be really creative and also it's sort of ...hmm grooming to me ...can be bonding to watch girls do it ..like watching your mom brush her hair i tink it's where we get it ..

It feels really good to be around girls talking makeup ..doing make up ..dunno why

Do any other girls feel like that? Or feels good to be around gay guys making up....

The girlie girl vibe...I really like it ..nothing to to do with how you end up looking ...it could be clear nail polish ..still feels good to watch or do yourself.

Less than once a year. Waste of my damned time haha. I'll wear it for specific events and when I was working for a burlesque show and had to doll up considering the venue, but makeup sucks and I lol at chicks whose life revolves around it.

I just stick to washing my face and an spf moisturizer. I ain't got time for that other ish.

A thread from a year ago has reincarnated. I'm game; finished my work and want to look busy so I'll answer:

Every day except over the weekend; latter "very" light since I tend to be "lazy" (Moisturizer, brows, falsies, lip liner/lip stick, concealer, and foundation).

🤗 cyber hugs!

Love,

Eva

On rare occasions... like Halloween or some cosplay convention (if it gets to that - cause i've never attended one before / it's on my bucket list).
