Do u wear makeup every day?

Red_Doe

i have the same prob as Diamond...too pale brows and lashes. However, I never wear makeup, simply because I live in such an isolated place, what`d be the point? Not sure the chickens`d appreciate it.
But, returning recently from my fiance`s, I looked at the pics we`d taken and thought eek, I do look old! (I`m 50) so might start wearing some at least when I go out.
Trouble is with my age, my lids are like crepe and for some reason whenever I`ve tried mascara it ends up giving me panda eyes, even the so called waterproof stuff. Got skin like aged leather...too too many years outdoors in the sun....and want to avoid looking like mutton done up as lamb or looking like a clown. Wish there were sites online for helping middle aged women like me `do` the makeup thing....

I always suffered with panda eyes, I've tried EVERY mascara & finally found one that doesnt run. Borjoise clubbing mascara.

Ooh, thanks for that tip Mrs E. Will try to find it and give it a go.

Another vote for the bourjois clubbing, it is unbudgeable (if that is even a word). I have found the recent ones of it I have bought have been thicker and a bit stickier than before but definitely one of the best on the market.

If you want brown (or brun as they call it) then Ebay - thats where I get mine.

If you wear black you can get it in Ebay (probably the cheapest place) or Boots/Superdrug.

I guess it was developed for dancing the night away at hot sweaty clubs - I wish it had been invented when I went raving:j

Cor, not wear make up :eek: I am erm, a senior citizen now (just) and I do my usual cleanse, tone and moisturise (Olay serum with Olay regenerist over the top) then my base then mascara, lippy and blusher. At night I cleanse, use a glycolic acid cream and then night cream over the top of it.

Couldnt feel relaxed if I was out without at least some make on

If you are young you should still make sure you have a good tinted moisturiser on every day.

Just to say that though I don't wear make-up I do make sure that I wear moisturiser with adequate sun protection.

I used to wear the lot when I was 17,and then face powder, eyeliner,eyeshadow, blusher and lippy in my 20's, 30's lipppy and eyeliner, sometimes mascara,

Now im 42 cant be bothered, but when I go out I wear Lippy and eyeliner and mascara thats if i don't dig out my eyes first:eek:
When I dont wear make up I feel totally liberated ,I thiink make up is a huge marketing ploy.
Its even better when people knock off about 10yrs off my age , I have a 18yr old and a 7yr old makes me not want to wear it at all

I wear makeup around once a month if that and I am quite happy with the way I look. Often I find when I do wear makeup no matter how carefully I remove it I often end up with a skin break out.

I never wore make up because i had quite good skin but now i am in my early 30's i do think i should start wearing it as i am getting bad dark circles and my skin looks quite dull recently.

though i dont know how to start wearing it without being self concious. my work place is very cliquey and they notice this stuff and talk about the way people look. i am sure if i walk into the office wearing make up i wouldnt feel comfortable.

can anyone suggest what i can use to ease myself in and not be too obvious???
