During the day for work:
Oil of Olay w/ 15 SPF and Vitamins C and E
Green tinted Almay concealer on the red spots (broken capillaries and the occasional zit)
Kiehl's abyssine eye cream (or the avocado one if I've got some)
Concealer under the eyes, if I need it (and MUST be applied immediately after eye cream)
L'Oreal true match C3 foundation, applied with a sponge
Loose powder
Blush
Curl the eyelashes
Line top eyelid with brown pencil eyeliner and blend
Maybelline mascara, top lashes only. I read somewhere that under fluorescent lighting, mascara on the bottom makes you look like you have dark circles under your eyes, so I stopped doing that.
Lip balm, applied several times a day
For night - full-on eyeshadow, I've been doing the smoky eye lately - liquid eyeliner on top lid and pencil on the inside of my lower eyelids. Which looks really cool, but you have to keep applying it all night to keep it fresh looking. And lipstick.
But let's talk about our receptionist for a moment: Lily Munster. Every day. I'm not kidding. HEAVY eye makeup, liquid eyeliner drawn all the way back to her temples - drawn on eyebrows (I think she plucked out all of her real ones), in a non-flattering orange-y colored pencil. I think she uses one of those stencil kits, 'cause the style changes a lot. But they are always too pointy, like an upside down "V." She's hideous. But she obviously thinks she looks good.
