what's your makeup routine?

[JazmenFlowers]

woot. this thread is unlocked.

let's continue the discussion.

[Chrislit18]

ok my makeup routine
is
-wash face
-blackhead scrub [ ]
-eyeliner [brown]
-eyeshadow [either pale brown or pink]
-mascara [sometimes]
-sheer lipgloss

for fancy things AKA dances
-concelear
-foundation
-bronzer
-lipstick [with the sheer gloss over it]

and I use my Chanel compact all the time!

and at night i use zit cream..****ing teenage hormones...

[camchristo]

I wash my face with Lever bar soap in the shower.
Then some Hope in a Tube around the eyes and mouth.
Tweeze brows.

Make-up. I've decided I really LOVE it lately. Especially eye shadow. I wear whatever color I feel like or whatever will match my clothes.. Browns, pinks, purples, greens, blues. Brands are Sephora, POP, Too-Faces, Urban Decay. Dark shadow in the crease, a medium shade on the lid and a light shimmery shade above crease.

Eyeliner to match shadow color. Smudge some shadow under the eyeliner. If going out, I'll add some Urban Decay glitter to the corners of my eyes.

Mascara - Rimmel. I have pretty long lashes, but kind of fine.

Then after eyes, just a pressed powder on face and some blush on cheeks. I don't wear foundation, never have. I hate it and hate the feeling of a lot of make-up on my face.

Lips are either chapstick or some sort of gloss or plumper. Currently using LipFusion. I like but really don't notice much plumping action.

So, take me into a Sephora and I can literally shop the hell out of that store. I can be in there for HOURS.

Oooh a makeup thread...I will have to go thru all of this and see what new goodies I can find out about

[Aisling]

i am a reformed product whore. i shudder to even think how much money i've spent over the years on different products.

you know those girls who have such flawless skin, it seems almost translucent? yeah i'm not one of them. but every time i ask them what their secret is, they give me the "oh i just wash with water, don't wear makeup too often, blah blah blah" routine. so i've decided to try it out.

right now i'm only washing my face with water and using kiss my face's face factor sunblock.

then i apply a little aveda foundation, only on the areas that really scream for it. after that i put on some mascara (that is something i can't compromise on), a little lip gloss (nars in baby doll), eh voila.

of course if i have to go somewhere special, then yes, i will bring my inner product sluttiness back out in full force. but for the day to day, i'm trying to keep it simple. not sure how long this is going to last, but so far i like that i don't have to spend a lot of time getting ready in the morning. plus, no one's run screaming from me yet, so i guess i'm not looking truly hideous.

Everyone I have ever asked with that awesome skin you are mentioning says that same crap, none of them have ever listed the 10 jar regimes I have tried, and still didn't get. Gotta be born with that. Must be.
Sucks. LOL.

one time the guy at the chanel counter told me 'you have such beautiful skin' i couldnt stop lauging all day
i use MAC eye shadow, Chanel compact, Estee Lauder foundation, concelar, bronzer, and a lipgloss, Rimmel sheer gloss and eyeliner, and for my mascara, i just steal whatever my mom uses

[seeker007nmss]

My make up routine? Well, if it was my fault maybe some flowers and a nice dinner.... Oh. Not that kind. NVM

that's what i do, except that i use a foaming, pore cleansing daily cleanser in the shower every day or third day. i apply a moisturizer liberally all over my face every and neck other night (or so) before i go to bed.

if i wear any makeup through the weekdays, it's typically a bit of eyeliner (estee lauder) or a lip gloss (hempz). if i need to wear "full-faced" make up, i use bare minerals. a light amount of the "foundation", very light amount of the glow/warmth/glee (whichever i'm using at the time), and light mineral veil. the only difference in my day and night make-up is typically the addition of eyeshadow (estee lauder) and lipstick (estee lauder or lancome).

i like MAC and aveda products, but they aren't readily available here, and i don't really want to order lipstick in the mail.. i'm scared of getting a melty mess.

but yeah, i don't wear any makeup at all most days, and bothering with most facial cleansers and masques only MAKES me break out since i don't usually have any blemishes at all.

Get up.
Pee.
Get on the scale.
Shower.
In the morning I only wash my face with water.
Get dressed.
Tweeze eyebrows.
Use an oil-free daycream. Mostly L'Oreal.
Kanebo foundation.
Then I put on black liquid eyeliner - Bourjois Paris.
Apply mascara. Bourjois.
Bourjois Paris blusher also, brown-gold tinted. Very lightly across the cheekbones.
Bourjois Paris newest lipgloss, dark brown tinted. I love this stuff. ( http://www.bourjoisusa.com/whatsnew/136 )
Fix hair. Usually mousse it up and press curls in them. But sometimes I like to wear it straight.
Put in earrings.
Put on deoderant. (Rexona)
Put on eau de toilette. Right now I wear the Giorgio Armani Sensi most of the time. Last month I was on a Isabella Rossellini Manifesto kick.

Where is the thread where Jazzy asked if anyone knew some good stuff with hylauronic acid and some other thing?
Anyway, Jaz, I was at whole foods last night getting my pumpkin peel and antioxident mask, when I noticed that the same company makes a hyalauronic acid thingy. I love all their other products I've tried, too. The company is MyChelle. You can order from them online, or they may have them at your whole foods as well.

Many people I know, including myself (this is related to above posts, not to Jaz) find their skin looks best and has least breakouts when they keep cleaning with anything but water to a minimum. Of course I get microdermabrasion and use pumpkin peel as well, to get rid of dead skin, clogged pores, etc.

I have not heard of MyChelle. Is it cream products you use?
Now, when you say pumpkin peel, do you mean actual natural pumpkin or some kind of product with pumpkin peel in it, and if so, what is the brand?
I use fine sugar sometimes as a scrub, when I go on trips, the little sugar packages you use for coffee? It really makes my skin very smooth, and the moisturizer goes on nicely, and it is one less tub of lotion to pack in a suitcase, LOL.

honestly, i think it's a conspiracy. LOL i've been doing this water thing for about 3 weeks and even though i don't think i'll ever be one of "those girls", i can definitely see an improvement.

oooh i totally forgot about the perfume part of my routine. i used to wear anna sui faithfully, but it got so that even *i* was sick of smelling it after like 3 years. so now i alternate between thierry mugler's angel and lancome's miracle.

.

I really like the mousse whip foundation [god that sounds like a dessert ] its light, and not as oily as the liquid stuff. I reccomend Estee Lauder
but because it costs an arm and a leg, sometimes I use the maybelline stuff. thats not as nice, but it works.
