Occasional Make Up Thread

[mrsdee1982]

I know we've done this in the past, but it's always kind of fun to see if there is any new brands of make-up out there.

1) On an average day, what is your make-up routine?

2) Holy grail product?

3) Biggest disappointment in a product?

4) Play up your eyes or play up your lips?

5) When you put on mascara do you open your mouth or keep it closed?

6) Confession time - do you wash your make up off every night?

[mrsdee1982]

1) On an average day, what is your make-up routine?

Eyebrow pencil/powder, light eye shadow, eyeliner, mascara, concealer, foundation, blush and lip gloss.

2) Holy grail product?

I LOVE Benefits They're Real mascara. It is the best mascara I have ever used.

3) Biggest disappointment in a product?

Dior Show mascara. I hated this. Clumpy, Flaky and yet wouldn't wash off! I felt like I pulled out eyelashes trying to get this crap off.

4) Play up your eyes or play up your lips?

More often eyes, but lately I've been getting into lips a little more.

5) When you put on mascara do you open your mouth or keep it closed?

I think people that keep their mouths closed when putting on mascara are magical unicorns that don't exist in real life.

6) Confession time - do you wash your make up off every night?

I really wish I could say I do, but sometimes today's eyeliner is yesterday's mascara. Most nights I do, but sometimes I am just so tired!

1) Tarte's tinted moisturizer, blush, eyeliner, and mascara
2) I'm also a huge fan of Benefit's They're Real mascara, but I haven't bought new in awhile. Maybe I need a trip to Ulta...
3) I'm always disappointed with lipsticks. Nothing really looks right on me, even the good stuff.
4) Eyes, duh.
5) I'm usually talking when I put on my makeup, so I'm sure my mouth is open. I seriously never get alone time.
6) I'm good about washing my face at night during a normal work week because I shower at night and I look like Alice cooper if I don't wash it off. When I don't have to get up early, I'm really bad about taking off my makeup before bed.

I can't think of anything specific right now, but clumpy mascara kills me

i'm not even sure i could do it with my mouth closed

6) Confession time - do you wash your make up off every night? a dirty face is something that will prevent me from sleeping

Ha!  I totally read the bolded part as Blue Eyeshadow.  I thought…hmmm…interesting choice for your everyday look.  Haha!  

[mrsdee1982]

I love the naked palettes! So many amazing shades.

FFTC: I own blue eye shadow...and purple...and I wear them on occasion.

I am not against colorful eyeshadow at all!  Done right, it can be beautiful.  For some reason the image of Mimi just popped into my head and I thought "hmmm…interesting choice for your 'everyday' look".  

[mirage86]

1) On an average day, what is your make-up routine?
Foundation, eyeshadow, liner, mascara

2) Holy grail product?
I love L'Oreal's Voluminous Million Lashes mascara. I've never tried all the fancy expensive brands, lol.

3) Biggest disappointment in a product?
I tried an eyelash tint earlier this month. It was just ok and didn't make a very big difference. I used an eyebrow tint by the same company and that was AMAZING. I'm naturally blond and sick and tired of trying to get my eyebrows to match my hair every time I do makeup.

4) Play up your eyes or play up your lips?
Eyes

5) When you put on mascara do you open your mouth or keep it closed?
Closed!
6) Confession time - do you wash your make up off every night?
I'm not good about it at all, but I've been getting better. I feel like it does a lot of damage to my lashes if I sleep in my makeup.

[erbear]

1.) BB cream, foundation, concealer, powder, bronzer, sometimes blush, eye primer, eyeliner, eyeshadow, mascara.

If I'm being super basic I just do BB, powder, and mascara.

2) I have a few - the Naked 3 palette, maybelline's the falsies mascara, nars orgasm blush, urban decay eyelid primer potion

3) L'orea's true match foundation, maybelline's great lash mascara - I don't get the raves. Most nail polishes are disappointments for me, too.

4) eyes! I have a ton of lip stuff I've gotten for free and I barely use. I love vaseline's lip therapy or a burt's bees balm on my lips!

5) open!

6) yes! I used to just do the makeup remover wipes on nights I didn't get a shower, but I've started using cetaphil nightly to remove makeup and my skin feels cleaner!

[periwinkledaydreams]

1) On an average day, what is your make-up routine?
Foundation, blush, eyeshadow, mascara

2) Holy grail product? 
I've literally been using the same combination blush palette and basic black mascara since middle school.. yet without looking at it couldn't tell you if it's cover girl or maybelline lol. What I could tell you is that I'd be absolutely LOST if they stopped stocking the stuff!

3) Biggest disappointment in a product? Every time I try to go for lipstick, the color is never what it seems. Clearly I go for cheapies though, I realize this is most likely the problem.


4) Play up your eyes or play up your lips?
Eyes all day. Lips Im just addicted to pomegranate burts bees.

5) When you put on mascara do you open your mouth or keep it closed?
Im probably talking, or open mouth, or both awkwardly..

6) Confession time - do you wash your make up off every night?
Nope, really bad about this. Before baby and when I was working I always showered at night so it was automatic, but now Im at least using cleansing cloth thingies.. Sometimes..

[wegrowsheep]

1) On an average day, what is your make-up routine?
Unless going to church or other social function, nada. These days it's Clinique Gentle Light Powder, Estee Lauder berry quartz palette, and Clinique Chubby stick in voluptuous violet. I'm basically Elsa from October through April. Then I go for a little bronzer and a more neutral/bronze eyeshadow..

2) Holy grail product? None come to mind. I love getting freebies with x$ purchase.

3) Biggest disappointment in a product? Take it away makeup remover.

4) Play up your eyes or play up your lips? Eyes

5) When you put on mascara do you open your mouth or keep it closed? Closed. Unicorn status.

6) Confession time - do you wash your make up off every night?
Nope.

[billyhorrible]

1) On an average day, what is your make-up routine?
foundation, liner, shadow, mascara, lipstick



2) Holy grail product?

Shiseido perfect rouge lipstick in fuschia. It looks neon pink in the tube, but it's so flattering on, like a brighter version of your natural color.


3) Biggest disappointment in a product?
I tend to do a lot of research first, so I'm not usually disappointed.

4) Play up your eyes or play up your lips? usually eyes

5) When you put on mascara do you open your mouth or keep it closed?
open
6) Confession time - do you wash your make up off every night?
yup

[dmoney]

1) On an average day, what is your make-up routine? Full face- Foundation, concealer, eyeliner, eyeshadow

2) Holy grail product? Gel Liner from Bobbi Brown

3) Biggest disappointment in a product? Really how fast i go through it

4) Play up your eyes or play up your lips? eyes

5) When you put on mascara do you open your mouth or keep it closed? Open Mouth 100%

6) Confession time - do you wash your make up off every night? This is like 50/50. Half of the time i remember to and the other half of the time i go to bed because I have forgotten.

[jessila]

1) On an average day, what is your make-up routine? I hate foundation so I tend to skip it. Under eye brightening concealer, eyeshadow base, eyeshadow, eyelash primer, mascara, eyelash curler.

2) Holy grail product? I LOVE cover girl lash blast extreme mascara. The purple tube. I've been using it since it came out probably 8 years ago. Also, Clinique eyelash primer.

3) Biggest disappointment in a product? Some Mary Kay product that was supposed to help with under eye circles.

4) Play up your eyes or play up your lips? Eyes all the way. I don't own lipstick of any sort. I didn't even wear it for my wedding. I think I wore tinted lip gloss and I hated the texture of it. Just give me some Blistex.

5) When you put on mascara do you open your mouth or keep it closed? Open. Wish I was a magical unicorn then maybe it would be less obvious that I do my makeup while driving (ffwc?)

6) Confession time - do you wash your make up off every night? Haha, no. As a pp said 'today's mascara is tomorrow's eyeliner.'

Honestly, I only wear makeup for work or church. Not a fan of wearing it..

Also, Owen is sitting in my lap as I write this on my phone. I have the app set to nighttime so white words on a black screen, he keeps randomly chuckling as I write more words.

[tatersalad]

1) On an average day, what is your make-up routine? Always a serious broad spectrum UVA/UVB block sunscreen. I tan well but burnt my nose off in OZ back in the day so I don't mess around. Jane Iredale mineral make up, serious caffeine infused eye concealer since I had my first baby, and mascara.

2) Holy grail product? Hangover primer, and my tatoo eyeliner.

3) Biggest disappointment in a product?
Better than Sex Mascara sucks.
4) Play up your eyes or play up your lips or eyes? Eyes with pale lip. Bridget Bardot is my idol beauty wise. Big hair don't care.

5) When you put on mascara do you open your mouth or keep it closed? Open, duh.

6) Confession time - do you wash your make up off?
But of course, with old lady Bioglycolic face wash. I'm pushing 40. But my true confessions that I'm considering lash extensions.

tatersalad lash extensions will change your life and take years off you. They are the best but got to maintain every 4 weeks.

Sold. Booking appointment stat.

[clairencub]

1) On an average day, what is your make-up routine?

I work from home so I normally only put on makeup on the weekends. This usually consists of a combo of one or more of the following products:
-Benefit The Porefessional Primer
-Clinique CC cream mixed with vanicream lotion (spf) with a drop or two of frankincense oil
-NYX Wonder Pencil (concealer)
-Bare Minerals foundation
-Urban Decay eyeshadow primer
-UD Naked palette (1 or 3)
-Benefit They're Real Mascara.
-Clinique Cheek Pop blush
-Benefit Gimme Brow gel.

2) Holy grail product?

Changes day-to-day for me, I've been pretty loyal to They're Real Mascara and Gimme Brow Gel.

3) Biggest disappointment in a product?

I'm with @tatersald, Better Than Sex mascara is crap.

4) Play up your eyes or play up your lips?

Play Up The Peepers

5) When you put on mascara do you open your mouth or keep it closed?

Wide open

6) Confession time - do you wash your make up off every night?

Unless I'm severely inebriated, I wash my face.

[tatersalad]

I'm a big fan of Carmex as gloss too carrots.
So probably not a good idea to play with leftover Latisse after the drinking thread. I think I got more in my eye than I did on my lash line.

[baytosa2013]

1) On an average day, what is your make-up routine?
I use ALL THE PRODUCTS. Daily I wear concealer, foundation, powder, blush, eye shadow, mascara, gloss

2) Holy grail product?
Probably either my Josie Maran Argan Oil or Benefit Hello Flawless foundation. I could probably get away with just wearing the foundation if needed and at least my skin would look even.

3) Biggest disappointment in a product?
Was NOT a fan of Urban Decay mascara nor Benefit mascara

4) Play up your eyes or play up your lips?
Definitely eyes for me. I'm a fan of the smokey eye

5) When you put on mascara do you open your mouth or keep it closed?
Open


6) Confession time - do you wash your make up off every night? Nope. Rarely ever. I am blessed with good skin in terms of breakouts and such in that I never get them so I am super lax about washing my face. Terrible I know.

[Deleted]

Routine-Laura mercier tinted spf moisturizer and eyeliner, benefit eyebrow pencil, neutral lip usually nars or loral lipstick. At night I'll do smokey eye, maybelline mascara. I don't wear mascara during day

Disappointment. Anything by Chanel. It's expensive for the quality and the product burns my eyes.

Most important thing I do is wear sunscreen everyday or else I get freckles and I wash my face everynight and morning when I wake up.

[seannemairi]

1) On an average day, what is your make-up routine? - bb cream, brow shadow/gel, some undereye concealer, mascara, eyeliner on the top waterline only, curl lashes, cheek brightener. Sounds like a lot but it only takes 20 minutes. I'm very particular about my brows so that takes up the majority of it.

2) Holy grail product? Dr. Jart bb cream (anything by them really) my face wouldn't be the same without it.

3) Biggest disappointment in a product? Really any raved about face product that adds perfumes or dyes. Why does my face have to smell nice? It's terrible for your skin and it makes my face get all red and bumpy.

4) Play up your eyes or play up your lips? Eyes for sure. I usually throw some aquaphor on my lips and it feels great.

5) When you put on mascara do you open your mouth or keep it closed? Absolutely open. Keeps me from getting mascara under my eyes when I'm doing my bottom lashes.

6) Confession time - do you wash your make up - most of the time yes, but some days I just don't have it in me. Thankfully with the bb cream I use, it makes it not as big of a deal since it's a detoxifier.
