I’ve never been one to wear a lot of make up or do a lot with my hair. As a teenager and then as a young mom I would occasionally wear eye shadow, mascara and lipstick. But that was it.
About 6 months ago I started wearing a little make up again. I’ve been using Bare Escentuals face makeup. And a bit of light brown eye shadow to fill in my pathetic eyebrows … that have started falling out, with age … sigh …
How about you? Do you wear make up? Everyday or maybe for special occasions? What kind of make up do you prefer?

I only wear it on special occasions.

On a daily basis, no makeup. I hate fussing with it and worrying about if it’s melted off my face at any given point of time. But if I have to care about my appearance (hardy har har), I will use a little: eyeliner, lipstick, fill in my eyebrows (because they’re super thin!) and if I’m feeling fancy, blush. 🙂

I wear make up when I have to renew my drivers licenses. The rest of the time I wear lipstick, if I remember. And the eyebrows… I have been letting mine grow in for the last six weeks, so when I get my next waxing she will have something to work with, and then on to the dreaded pencil to fill in. BTW my brand of make-up is Mary Kay.

I wear a little bit of makeup to even out my skin tone and some blush to make me look less vampire like 😉 Other items are only added on special occasions – maybe.

I used to wear makeup everyday when I worked outside the home. I was a sales/service rep for an insurance broker and wore suits and heels every day. Now I wear a pony tail most days and no makeup other than a little gloss. If there is a special occassion, I will dress up and put on full hair and makeup but it’s not very often.

I wear it every day but not only enough to make me look like I’m not deathly ill. lol I LOVE dressing up the makeup, hair, and wardrobe for my dates with the hubster, though. 🙂
Deborah says
I hardly ever wear makeup anymore, only when we are going out.

Ha ~ the thinning eyebrows!! Yep – what the heck – I’ve had that problem too! I wear Olay tinted moisturizer, (well, a good sunblock goes on first!!), a teeny bit of pale pink powder blush, and “Black Lapis” by Lancome eyeliner on bottom lash line. (which I’ve used for about 20 yrs!) That’s it – Except I will do Mascara for party times or evenings out! I’m a mid-fifties Mama ad from all my observations, it seems that the older you get and the more foundation and powder people wear, it actually makes them look even OLDER!! So ladies ~ please ease up on all the gook you put on your pretty faces! 🙂 Happy Friday to all!

Mascara every day. I also wear something with spf on my face. I like to keep it light in the summer.
Have a great day!

Hi Cathi! I love Bare Escentuals – for a while I was collecting, um hoarding, their eyeshadows but since they last SO long I ran out of room! Mostly I wear make-up for church, other days if I have a hot date with the Mr. or am going somewhere fun! Other than that I am an au natural kinda girl!

Oh, I wear make-up all the time. That’s why Debra was so lucky that I went to the hotel lobby to get her medicine while I was in my pjs, no make-up and hair all wet! The things we do for our roomies! 🙂
