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!

Took some pics this morning for posting then changed my mind as I really, really don't like looking at photos of my face

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 used to wear Eau de Rochas in the '80s. If I remember it was gorgeous citrus and patchouli. A little bit hippie and very fresh. Today i am wearing Amazone. Galaxy perfume still has 1980s bottles on their website! I love the oldies!

Very similar to what I wear most of the year, though the last few days I have omitted the blush.

Neutrogena sfp30 'holiday face'
ELF concealer
Boots waterproof mascara
Rimmel blush
NYC 'applelicious' lip tint

I'm wearing Jane Iredale dream tint, a wee bit of bronzer, a clarins chubby stick liptint, and estee lauder waterproof mascara. It's more than enough in this heat - my regular foundation would slide right off my face.

I have this problem generally as I have quite oily skin (despite using a range of primers, foundation bases etc). For a while I used a foundation from a company called Red Earth, which was Australian I think. But I've not been able to track it down for a few years now.

All I'm doing in this heat is putting on powder over my foundation but I'm not sure that's working particularly well.

I keep adding powder then I look caked in it!

My face looks shiny before I even start to put any make up on it.
