Heatwave make up

thehappybutterfly

I'm delighted at being able to drop the foundation / BB cream as my freckles are ferocious right now! I love my freckles.

a really good moisturiser SPF30
Powder
Bronzer
a wee bit blusher
Mascara/lash extensions in a bottle
full eyebrows though - powder/stencil and finishing wax. I just couldn't get them to match the other day and ended up using a pencil - nightmare. I just can't do without my lovely groomed brows.

In the Twiggy days, we used to dot on our freckles.
Are your brows anything like the Noleen woman? I so hope not, as her's are horrendous. I mean laughable. Groucho Marx go Google.

Well I hope not . They are groomed but not startling - they don't look like two caterpillars marching across my forehead or anything. Guys don't seem to like them but my girl friends do. My problem is that my brows are invisible as they're blond so they need something. :rotfl:

Maybe I'll take a photo tomorrow morning and post it up - before and after.

Mascara because my lashes are so blond my eyes look bald without it, but other than that no make up at all. It's way too hot, and I am generally someone who would put a full face of make up on to face the day.

I have hidden behind sunglasses the past couple of days though

Usual mineral foundation and mineral bronzer. Using a bit more in the way of mineral veil though.

I for one would love to see them.
In the days when most were plucking, I loved my brows as did my friends in the business. We would never have understood why anyone would pluck above. Why did you? Not you happybutterfly, but those reading.
The only thing I did was comb them up, then snip across the top so they didn't stray.
Now I get the dry mascara wand and brush them. Dry, as in wiped on a tissue.

The new brow fashion looks to me like the scraping of something on a plate by a silly chef.
Picture it. Dollop, then spread. That's the new brow!

Most important to me, is to change my fragrance.
I order from a hot Country as they understand how to smell, and I only use the shower gel and body lotion for mornings. Later l I will spritz the EdT. Even though it smells of Grapefruit and Lemon, some are offended by perfume.
I cannot stand the powdery, cloying smell that some women of my age wear. Smells like it's covering something up.

Ooh - that scent sounds lovely - what is it please, Padstow?

I couldn't spend a Summer without it Bennifred. Eau de Rochas. Not to be confused with the male version which I found disappointing.

My latest batch via Amazon came from Barcelona.

It was on sale here in the UK long ago, but now only in hot Countries. The shower gel is amazing and the body lotion is like a very fine oil.

I like Escada perfumes in the summer - they always remind me of sunnier climes (and times!),
