I dont wear makeup most of the time, if ever i wear makeup if i went outside shooping or occations or fiestivals, disco but i use lighter make up and a few flash on my face a powder I do like darker my eyes or use maskara to curlier my eyebrow. I used butternut lipstick coz it is my taste. I dont like dark lipstick sometimes i use petrolium jelly for my lips.
Do you routinely wear makeup? had you always relied on make up artist to paint your face on special occation?

make up is really not a big deal. you have not mentioned anything about your complexion. you don't rely upon oil based make-ups because they make your face too dull. similarly don't go for powders and dry foundations as they may be difficult to remove. just apply a normal water based foundation and start adding lipstick. you add eye liner and maskara at the end.heavy make ups wont show you beautiful.light make ups will portray well defined features of your face. and if you are fair, you can really choose darker shades of lipstick.

hi vandhu,
my complexion of skin is Tan color..lighter brown. thanks for comments I think I have some more idea on making myself pretty. I don't use based foundation because it's sticky and i dont like it but I used bare mineral foundation and create a flawless complexion of skin and oil free. yes i do wear powder for my face or sometimes not using it. I do my eyes and eyebrow and use lighter shade of lipstick.

I have always done my own makeup.
I wear makeup every day. To work I only wear powder foundation and eye liner. Out and just doing simple things I wear powder foundation, eye liner, mascarra and lip gloss. And when going out out like to dinner or movies some where special. I wear it all: Cream and powder foundation, eye shadow liner mascarra, blush, lip liner, stick and gloss. Thats me!! I know I don't have to wear it but I prefer to. I feel make up enhanses the beauty of a person.

My friend taught me how to wear a make up, and I tried it, few days later I got bored with it. For me it's too much hassle spending much time in the mirror before going out from the house. And my face feels like there's something on it, I can feel that my face won't like to wear it too. So I stopped it and never tried it again. But I admire those women who have make ups on especially when the color suits them.

Well wearing make up one of my hobbies. I like to put on myself everytime I go out. But it will depend on the occasion we're going. If I will go to some kind social gatherings like party with executive I will wear make up with a heavy painted in my eyes. Caused i love to make my eyes pretty. But if I will going to church much more differ from daily make up. I wear much lighter than any one I did. Be a simple make up i ever did. Depend on the occasions.

when i was younger and at college i wore make-up every day without fail.
now i am older and i have a job i only wear it at weekends.
there was a lot of pressure while i was at college to look your best so all of the girls used to pile on the make up.
the main reason i dont wear it now is because i work in a dusty factory and the dust clogs my pores.
wearing make up makes it worse.#
happy mylotting

Same like you. I rarely use make up. Only lotion and podwer. plus lipbalm.
for party, I do the make up by myself. Its not hard to put make up on my face. i have to be proud coz my face stucture dont need any shadow, at least for me. so i just add blush on and mascara from my ussuak routine and ready to go
