*Cheeks - I cannot apply blush correctly.
Powders don't last on my skin, and I love gel or cream blushes, but I just can't seem to apply it in the right area. I try for the "apples of my cheeks" and look like a clown. I ease up & put on less next time, and you can't even see it. Lately, I've just lightly circled my cheeks with a big fat round brush & some peachy powdered blush. The hell with it.
*Eyes - neutral shadow for work/every day, don't care much about the brand. Using Clinique freebie right now. I like browns. If I'm whoring it up, I love a deep violet (kickass with my green eyes) or smokey gray. I
always get creases no matter what I've tried. I always wear black liner, not much on the bottom though - Maybeline or something similar. Again, heavier if I'm going out. My lashes are long & pretty dark, so I only use mascara at night. Right now, I think I'm using a Clinique freebie. Makes me realize that it's probably too old & I need a new one.
* Lips - I have never, ever, ever found a good lipstick that stay on & doesn't dry out my lips. Ever. Clinique feels great & I love their colors, but it doesn't last. I've tried several "color stay " or "long last" products, but they dry out my lips too badly. So lately, it's been cherry Chapstick.
I found some cheap (Rimmel?) lipstick that I put on if going out.
Wow. I really paint a pretty picture of myself in that description, huh?
I guess my deal is that I love makeup, but I'm annoyed with the fact that nothing makes me look so good that I can rationalize spending the money on it. Poor me.
