    Some days I just wear mascara, but if my skin is looking blotchy then I put some foundation on. My skin is dry so it gets a good layer of cream first.

    Btw I've never tried any mineral powders, any recommendations ladies ?

    Regards

    Trigger


    best i've found is bare minerals but recently tried stuff from ELF and it really is very good

    I don't wash my face in the morning as it dries my skin.

    Serum, moisturiser (SPF25)
    Estee doublewear foundation
    Bronzer
    Eyebrow pencil
    Lipstick - if I've managed to get some, Max Factor Lipfinity Majestic (they don't make it any more but I can find some on Ebay now and again); otherwise, something similar that stays put all day whatever I do
    Eye shadow - some highlighter on the brow, and something either very dark or very pale on the lids
    Liquid eyeliner, in black, on upper lid
    Mascara, black, and lots of it.

    It doesn't need any attention, all day, and into the evening. Suits me!

    does primer actually make a difference?

    ive never tried one. what brands do you use? i live in quite a small town so i need to order online or buy when i go into the city. i dont like wearing my pink bodywarmer coz my foundation keeps rubbing off on the collar and was thinking this and the pressed powder would help it stay on.

    I think it does make a difference, makes it last longer.

    I like the GOSH one (Superdrug), Loreal do a couple, Body Shop do a nice one. Rimmel have a new one out & I'm not a fan of their makeup but I might give it a go as its the cheapest one (on 3 for 2 in Boots just now).

    idont bother if i am staying in.

    I put some some cream in face and eyes.
    Mineral make up, if dark circles are not that prominent, then dont bother with Lancome concealer and use the Mineral make up in eyes too.
    Some eyeshadow
    I have black eyes and love to put black mascara on and black gel eyeliner .It doesnt look to much, i hate to look like a put all my make up on to go out..
    some blusher if i can be bother, i have olive skin and naturally pink cheeks, how weird.
    some baby pink lipstick. It takes me 2/3 minutes, unless i am using the eyeliner, i still not that fast applying it.
    I love to make it look natural, naturally perfect skin,Without make up i was told i look like 19/20 yo... i am actually 27 yo.
