Cosmetics and make-up - Do you use it? email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 95/100. Daffodil20 (759)   ranked 1 out of 91 in lip gloss1 year ago

Do you like using make-up everyday? You feel vulnerable without it?

Which look do you prefer for yourself? A natural look or your look enhanced by a little make-up?

How much do you spend on cosmetics and perfumes? You think it is worth?

Hey daffodil! I do use makeup too! I hate to go out without
any makeup! If I am not going anywhere in particular and am
staying in the house then I don't wear any makeup. I wear
a little eye shadow in a very light color and some thin
black eyeliner. I wear some mascara and some under eye
concealer to hide my dark circles. I wear a little blush
and that's pretty much it except for some light colored
lip gloss! I don't wear alot makeup anymore! Just enough
so I don't look scary! I am an older woman so I need some
color in my fact, but I don't like to have too much makeup
on! I don't know how much money I spend on makeup exactly.
I do like very expensive perfumes though. I usually wait
until I get them as gifts. I haven't gotten any in awhile.
I am hoping to get a nice bottle for Christmas from my
boyfriend. The one I want is really expensive. He was
supposed to get it for me for my birthday and didn't so
he said he would get it for Christmas and he'd better!

Good Eye make up transforms your whole expression. One really looks lively and bright with eyes defined prominently.

You have my best wishes Opal. I'm sure your wish will be granted this Christmas.

Thanks for sharing your make-up secrets. happy

I love make-up. I don't need on a daily basis but if I get bored or look kind ofr sickly I add bronzer, Cargo preferred, to give myself some glow. I do like expensive brands and look at them as investment if I need to purchase. I think the way you look contributes to the way you feel, so if you look good you feel good.


myLot reputation of 95/100. Daffodil20 (759)   ranked 1 out of 91 in lip gloss  1 year ago

There's so much truth in your statement. One feels good when one looks good.

No, I don't use any of that stuff. I really don't think it improves the appearance of most people, although there are, of course, exceptions. A little makeup tastefully applied looks fine on most people, but many people really look worse with it on than had they left it off in my opinion.


myLot reputation of 95/100. Daffodil20 (759)   ranked 1 out of 91 in lip gloss  1 year ago

On some people make-up doesn't suit well.Yes, you are right. Heavy make-up is for people associated with glamour industry. That's what I feel. Because I, for one, won't be able to carry too much of make-up. Thick foundation, artificial eyelashes, lips fakely redefined, dark lipstick, as if you have just now had an overdose of blood sucking, glitter and gloss on cheeks and eyes.......EWWWW!! thumbdown NOT for us!!

A good subtle make-up is one which blends in and makes it look natural resulting in you looking more beautiful. Like you too say-- tastefully applied makeup looks fine on most people. The answer lies in there.

Still I prefer the natural look for everyday because I can not carry it well. Yes, sometimes (which is once or twice in three-four months) while going with friends to discotheques, we do apply very little make-up.

I wear make up once in awhile, but not often. Not because I don't want to, I do like how I look with make up, I'm just too lazy to put it on most days, and don't really go anywhere anyways. Then when I put make up on I feel like I should do my hair too, and my hair never wants to do anything, so might as well just look like a bum!


myLot reputation of 95/100. Daffodil20 (759)   ranked 1 out of 91 in lip gloss  1 year ago

You look pretty as such. With little makeup on you must be looking prettier. Mostly we ourselves are the biggest critics. We are never satisfied with the way we look. happy

I actualy dont like the idea of makeup. It would make me look strange I think. I remember my sister teasingly putting it on me once and I looked a clown!

BUT I DID once colour my hair,,to cover the white at the sides but it wasnt for me either.. so I stick to shaving and brushing my teeth. Takes probably the same time as for you with makeup, do you think??


myLot reputation of 95/100. Daffodil20 (759)   ranked 1 out of 91 in lip gloss  1 year ago

You looked like a clown?? You are so critical of your ownself. And you didn't like colouring either? Hmmmmmmmm, very rigid. Are you?? Thank goodnes!! you atleast shave and brush your teeth. lolHahahahaha. Somehow you always make me go crazy, with laughter. lol You keep poeple around you thoroughly entertained.Don't you. Maybe you could take out some time from that and try a little make-up. lol


myLot reputation of 99/100. fjaril (4161)   ranked 7 out of 91 in lip gloss  1 year ago

If my grandson ever wants to practise on me,when he visits next year, well, THAT would be different!! I have actually HAD it on in a school play loooong ago and it was dramatic of course for my part and I looked cool! but, naaaah.. I think I will let the ladies look after that and whatever fellas like it too, I am good with that also.
I DOOO use underarm deoderant. doesnt THAT count for something????cry


myLot reputation of 95/100. Daffodil20 (759)   ranked 1 out of 91 in lip gloss  1 year ago

You yourself are admitting that you look(ed) cool with makeup. Now that speaks volumes.

You have a grandson??blink A grandson?? at 43? wow!! So he'll get the privilege. hmmmm. obviously. happy

No!! Deodorant won't count. No way!! Thats a hygeine essential, not makeup. You will have to come up with something else. rasp




myLot reputation of 99/100. fjaril (4161)   ranked 7 out of 91 in lip gloss  1 year ago

hahaha.. yes I was quite young and smitten with love and behaved very foolishly and had to marry as a result. we had a beautiful daughter; I got HER to look after and my then 'wife' moved on.. The next chapter is terrible and then I met my wife now.. Life goes on and I am proud as can be of my daughter and her little guy and of my wife and I DO NOT.. I repeat.. I DO NOT touch her makeup!! AND do you really think I am going to go and BUY SOME???

what can we do?? hmm what if I wear something of my wife's .. in private of course.. would that satisfy you?? AHHAHAHAHAHA!


myLot reputation of 95/100. Daffodil20 (759)   ranked 1 out of 91 in lip gloss  1 year ago

And you do the right thing by not touching your wife's makeup stuff. I wouldn't like that either, someone touching and using my things.

To tell you the truth, I really thought that men don't use makeup, apart from moisturising creme. But in a reality show here, I saw men using face packs and other beauty stuff. rolleyes

And, must I say you look fine without it! and cool too cool Thanks for providing some entertainment here. lol


myLot reputation of 99/100. fjaril (4161)   ranked 7 out of 91 in lip gloss  1 year ago

In a reality show??? GASP! You mean I am not up with the times??

hahahaha. I think I will have to say backward then.. I dont even use sunscreen.. O what a fool I am, but.. it takes you t bring it to my attention!! LOL

Thanks!! i think.. NAAAH I had fun, didnt you??


myLot reputation of 95/100. Daffodil20 (759)   ranked 1 out of 91 in lip gloss  1 year ago

I sure did have. Thanks happy

7. myLot reputation of 86/100. itsmefaith (2236)   ranked 48 out of 91 in lip gloss   1 year ago

For about the last two years, I have not worn much, if any make-up. I used to feel very odd about not wearing it, but now I prefer the more natural look. I will still put on mascara and lipstick on some days, but that's usually only if I'm feeling especially washed out.

For the last few weeks, I have not been allowed to wear any make-up at all because of an allergy. It hasn't been an issue.


myLot reputation of 95/100. Daffodil20 (759)   ranked 1 out of 91 in lip gloss  1 year ago

Natural look is the best. Those used to it may find it odd without makeup on them. Its a matter of choice.Ofcourse. Thanks itsmefaith for sharing. Hope your allergy gets fine soon.


myLot reputation of 96/100. metschica25 (4800)   ranked 28 out of 91 in lip gloss  1 year ago

Hey hey
natural look can look so pretty with just a touch of makeup . my bro used to have a gf who wore so much makeup that it would fake off and she would always beg me to let her know when that happened . i think a person should do what feels good

8. myLot reputation of 87/100. eVoLi89 (124)   ranked 34 out of 91 in lip gloss   1 year ago

I'm not putting make up on every day, only when I'm going to a party or a more formal occasion. If I put it on, it usually is some mascara, eye liner and sometimes eye shadow, and I also love lip gloss.

I never wear much, and not everydag because I'm very pale, so black mascara looks quickly overdone, especially for everyday.

I do scrub once and a while and apply some body butter and stuff, because it smells nice and makes me feel good about myself.


myLot reputation of 95/100. Daffodil20 (759)   ranked 1 out of 91 in lip gloss  1 year ago

Yeah. Same here too. Lip gloss looks so irresistible and comes in so many tempting fruity flavours. mmmmmmmmmm!! happy


myLot reputation of 87/100. eVoLi89 (124)   ranked 34 out of 91 in lip gloss  1 year ago

Yup, it makes my lips look healthy and nice, and I love fuit flavours:-) I've got one with cranberry now, yummy:-P

i don't really wear make up, only when i have important or special events to attend. most of the time i just wear powder and lipstick to give my face some colour. sometimes i wear eyeshadow if i have time. i rarely wear blusher confused


myLot reputation of 95/100. Daffodil20 (759)   ranked 1 out of 91 in lip gloss  1 year ago

For special events one needs to look presentable and well applied makeup sure helps. Thanks kevsgirlalways for sharing.

Hi,
I only wear makup when I am going to kinda a social gathering . I do like lipgloss and chapstick tho . I kinda like the natural looking makeup look . some people say i look better without makeup . I like the light pinks, creams, and brown shimers . I am a shimmer kinda gal! there has been times tho will i love to look all glamed out .


myLot reputation of 95/100. Daffodil20 (759)   ranked 1 out of 91 in lip gloss  1 year ago

That's right but if its done with deft hands. Glamed look would greatly depend upon the outfit and hair styling as well apart from the make-up.
