Do you apply your own makeup or do you need someone to do it for you?Well I have a sister who loves to wear makeup, I on the other hand will only wear it for a specially occasion. She does here own makeup and she does it so well. She looks beautiful after she's done.I some how can't do that i need someone to do it for me. I make a mess.
one time i looked like a clown with lots of colors all over my face!!!
So do you do your own makeup? have you ever made a big mess of it? do you apply it when you are driving and stop for a moment? Or do you need someone to do it for you?

Tell me some of your makeup upsets...

I don't wear makeup, because I don't believe in it. I like my face the way it is, and I don't feel that I need to change it.

Good for you i sheer similar feelings. Thank you for your comment.

I love putting on makeup. I do my own make up. Sometimes I will do my sisters make up for her. I also do my mom's make up for her sometimes, too. I don't think I'm really that good at it, but I'm ok. I just hate when my mascara or eyeliner gets smeared all over my face. It doesn't happen much now, but I remember once when I first started wearing a little make up it did. I was in fifth grade and I had put on just mascara. It was time to go to recess or lunch or something and my teacher asked me to stay behind. He then told me that it had smeared. It was embarrassing.


myLot reputation of 95/100. jessieBee (347)   ranked 225 out of 2,526 in beauty  2 years ago

Oh yes what a embarrassing moment in deed. But i would have laughed it off then go feel totally embarrassed in a corner afterwards. But you sound like you are doing just fine in the makeup department.

I wear makeup only on special occasions now. I used to wear it every day in college, but only a small amout of eye amkeup; nothing else. I don't need help putting it on. I never have. It's just like coloring. You just stay in the lines. I've never put it on while driving. That's just not safe.


myLot reputation of 95/100. jessieBee (347)   ranked 225 out of 2,526 in beauty  2 years ago

No it's not safe when driving at all, you can poke an eye out. I don't really use much either.

Hello JessieBee
My name is Brittney and im an online makeup expert at Akemi makeup experts.
So, i love makeup and its always been an passion that i've always had...So people have different thoughts on it but me i think it all depends on how you wear it and the look you're trying to get. Now a day they're so many looks you can choose from which makes it hard to sometimes get the look you're trying to go for.
On that note. Yes i wear it and sometimes here at my studio my makeup experts here do my makeup for me too..Sometimes i like to see other peoples work..
If you need any makeup help, tips,or an online makeup expert ..you can e-mail us here at Akemi 24 hours a day 7 days a week!
that e-mail is

thank you very much.
Brittney.

I do my own make up. I think I made a mess of it when I was a teenager, however I am use to putting make up on now. When putting foundation on I use one of the make up sponges that helps it spread evenly. I like to use the pencil eye liner as that is easier to apply then the liquid eye liner. I do like it though having my make up professionally done as they are good with making my eyes stand out.


myLot reputation of 95/100. jessieBee (347)   ranked 225 out of 2,526 in beauty  2 years ago

Wow.... that's wonderful. Yes i agree that the liquid one is sort of messy. And i guess we all messed up our faces when we were teens.lol
I'll have mine professionally done for my wedding not now.

I took a class on how to do makeup when I was 14, I also did some modeling when I was younger so I learned all about makeup. If you feel you are looking clown like when you do make up, may I suggest that you only use natural colors. Colors that match your own skin tone. If you wear lipstick only wear one that matches the color of your own lips or stick to a clear lip gloss. Avoid using blush. If you wear foundation make sure it is extremely close to your own skin tone, and make sure you blend it all in evently. Most people can not go wrong with mascara, if you wear nothing else, wearing mascara will benifit you looks. Keep eyeshodows in natural tones. If you are really uncomfortable applying make up search around for a class to help you do it properly. A lot of park districts offer such classes.


myLot reputation of 95/100. jessieBee (347)   ranked 225 out of 2,526 in beauty  2 years ago

Well you do have good points. But i don't wear makeup that much and my bf doesn't really like it so he will obviously object to me wanting to take a class in that field. He'll want to know what has gotten into me. But i do like to wear lip gloss and makeup occasionally.

I basically don't let other people play with my face, even professionals. I love doing my own makeup and I insist doing it on my own and so far I am happy with it. I guess I just don't like to be messed up by others!*laughs*


myLot reputation of 95/100. jessieBee (347)   ranked 225 out of 2,526 in beauty  2 years ago

I like your concept of it. My sister messed me up once with this deep red lipstick my face was laughable....! It's better you mess it up yourself than for someone else too.

some wear makeup to cover blemishes or to simply feel good about themselves. My mother was such a glam queen when I was younger as this was very influential to me. And I learned how to apply it by watching her...although I tried the liquid eyeliner she always used and yes it turned out to be a gloppy mess every time...so I use pencil.

But you should have your sister give you some tips. Or pick up a magazine like Glamour. They always have tips on how to apply makeup and how to choose the right kind. ANd less is always better when applying makeup.

Obviously, you are a natural person if you do not choose to wear it all the time. So go with natural toned makeup like earth tones, browns and use a little bronzer on your cheeks of try covergirls blusher (it has a hint of color and usually you cannot go overboard with it.) There are many companies now that offer better dry makeup that is healthy for your skin....unlike gloppy floundations...try bare minerals or others like it. And I do know when you order them they usually come with an informational cd showing you how to apply it.

I love to wear makeup that looks natural and I am so glad the 1980's pink and blues are not the usual. Just find your color....go to a cosmetics counter and ask someone to help you find your colors....even if you do not buy their products as they are expensive, but sometimes they offer free makeup consultation and a makeover.

Good luck and enjoy being a woman.

I'm not that much into makeup but i like how it looks on other people. yes and the natural based ones are fine, they look good. I tried wearing lipstick a couple of times and it alway cracks up my lips, so i guess that also made me feel as if makeup is not for me.
You have given me a lot of good tips thank you.


myLot reputation of 89/100. taface412 (1987)   ranked 264 out of 2,526 in beauty  1 year ago

Here's another tip...if lipstick cracks your lips go for the ones that are like chapstick with a hint of color...or do what I do...I always put on chapstick or lip balm before I put on lipstick. Not only does it prevent the chapped lips, but it makes it look good. I stretch my lipstick out this way too....oh and I also mix them on my lips too...like one from spring color and with a summer one to make a fall one. I get alot of my tips from my glamour mag. Which is awesome.
