Make Up :)

[yohomeycoolcat]

How do you do your make up? How much make up do you wear? What kind of make up looks good on you? Do you recommend any brand? Do you have any tips for make up and beauty? Any questions?

All of the tips, tricks, questions, and personal make up style comments can go here.....

I have pale skin with freckes so I have to wear a light colored foundation and usually I wear a brownish peach blush because red or pink blushes would look too bright or dark on me. I wear a vareity of eye shadow colors, but usually I wear browns, golds, and light greens. I usually wear the brown the most though and the browns are more of a dark or medium brown than a light brown. I also wear eyeliner. Its usually blackish brown but I do wear teal blue, bright purple or pink and green every now an then, but I usually wear a pale eye shadow so it doesnt look over bearring. Then comes the mascara. The mascara I wear usually is jet black and lengthens not volumizes my lashes. And finally, I wear pale nude, pink, or pearly lipstick with lots of shine. If I were to go darker, my lips would stand out to much......

What am I wearing today? I am wearing very light taupe eyeshadow with teal blue eyeliner and a little bit of light coral lipstick.

Now, there is one thing that cant go here..... And that is hair.

i wear light makeup, just mascara and light gold eyeshadow for my pale skin, but there is a girl at my school who has the same complction as me, and she wear WAY to much eye makeup.and my best friend puts on her makeup bad, kinda dark. one day my friend asked her "oh my gosh! what happened to your eye? how did you get a black eye?" and my friend said " wait, what black eye?" and it was really awkward.

I'm not what anyone would deem a girly-girl, but I do enjoy makeup. I especially enjoy eye makeup of the sparkly variety.

I usually wear greens, blue-greens, purples, or neutral colors; anything else doesn't look right with my skin color. I'm super pale (though not a natural red head, I do dye my hair auburn, so it fits), so most foundations - even the ones labeled 'Ivory' are too dark. On a typical makeup-wearing-day, I wear foundation + powder, blush, eyeliner, mascara, and possibly eyeshadow. I've got my makeup procedure down to an art; it usually takes me less than 15 minutes to do the whole shebang.

As for brands, I'm a Covergirl girl. It's affordable and nice, but sometimes I venture into Maybelline or L'Oreal territory. Recently Avon had a supersale and their eyeliners were 4 for $10 so I picked up a few in my favorite shades. They're quite nice, so I may buy my colored liners from them now.

Personally, I really don't like makeup.

It's actually completely pointless, and is only so popular today because of the media's influence on society. There are people who say that true beauty is "on the inside" - and is defined by your actions and personality. I'm one of the people who agree fully. Putting blue stuff on your eyes and red stuff on your mouth isn't going to make you a better person. It isn't going to make you beautiful. It's only going to make you look like you're wearing makeup.

People are only convinced that it makes you look nice because that's what they've been - what we've all been - told. And quite frankly, putting stuff on your face isn't going to change what your face looks like when the stuff comes off - until you get older and start to get really wrinkly and saggy skin because of it. So maybe the real question should be what can we do to help people realize that makeup is completely pointless and doesn't make you beautiful?

Me neither. If I would I would do it as natural as possible. As I don't like all those unnatural colors on skin.

Personally, I LOVE makeup, but I'm only in junior high, so my parents only let me wear mascara and lip gloss. But sometimes I wear eyeliner and eyeshadow, too. Oh, and concealer for my face.

Love makeup.
LOVE. IT.
I usually opt for simple black eyeliner and shadow. Some lipgloss (I have this peppermint stuff and UGH<3)
I like orange eyeliner and red/yellow/orange shadow for the summer ^^
Although, sometimes I get VERY expirementive.
Like, I had red, yellow and green vertical stripes of colour on my eyes one day. I've drawn little x's on my lids. It's so fun to work with and my face makes an excellent canvas.

next year I well be able to wear make-up. But whenever I am allowed to wear it, I usually use concealer to cover any blemishes. I also wear a very dark green eyeliner, like one shade light than black; it really brings out my brown eyes. I use a beige and light brown eyeshadow. I usually put on a darker pink lip-gloss to bring out the pretty mouth. Wow, that sounded vein, not my intentions. I don't usually wear mascara, I already have wicked eyelashes. Like, they hit my glasses they are so long.

What do you recommend, liquid or pencil eyeliner? I currently use pencil, what do y'all use?
