great thread Jen - i've worn make up since i was 13, neither my mum or gran ever went out side the front door without their 'face' on.
im not loyal to one brand. for foundation i flit between clinique, revlon, body shop,per una, no7, max factor. at the moment im trying l'oreal infallible cream powder - a make up junkie friend of mine recommended it. the range of shades has improved greatly since i started out.
eyeshadow - same as the aboveas well as17, maybelline,,bourjois, chanel, dior
have used touche eclat since the day it came out
as for taking it off - think i've been thru it all although i seem to come back to the nivea range.
favourite scent - seems to be CK1
also keep coming back to ponds cocoa butter for my skin.
oh and i love nail polish too
have just realized ive been supporting the cosmetics industry for 30 years - hate to think how much i've spent in that time:nerves1

Oh yay a make-up thread! Afraid to say I wear make-up every day, doesn't matter how late I'm running, haha.
For normal day make up for foundation I'm using Dream Matte Mousse at the minute, but I'll probably get something else when it's finished, any recommendations? Nothing too expensive though. I really like Rimmel products, I use their blush everyday and although I don't often wear eyeshadow to school it's a bit much, I like Rimmel eyeshadow.
I can't go out the door without my eyeliner on these days! I use Rimmel eyeliner and pile quite a bit of it on haha, always black. I need a new mascara, I've been using a Maybelline one, can't remember what it's called, but I don't really like it, I want to get that Glam'eyes one.
I have Clinique foundation for going out, but I actually don't really know why I bother spending more for going out as it's dark and no one can see me and I'm usually a mess by the end of the night anyway... I use just the same of everything else for going out just stick a bit more on.
Oh and I don't bother much with lipstick, just a bit of clear or pink gloss.

Since I already have to get up an hour and 15 minutes before I leave for work (get dressed, make and eat breakfast, make rabbit salads, rabbit run time, get husband up), I really don't see the point of the extra time I would need just to put on makeup.
If I think about it, I will put some mascara on. Most of the time, I don't think about it, though.
It takes me half an hour just to get some eyeliner on straight. Practice doesn't help. It doesn't help that no one ever taught me how to do any of that, so it takes me forever to make it look ok. Not good, just ok. I would rather look plain without makeup than like a clown with it on!BethM wrote:It takes me ten minutes in the morning to put on foundation, powder, blush, mascara, eyeliner and eyeshadow.

Make up - I always use Physicians Formula Organics for the blemish stick, mineral powder foundation, face powder, blushes, and finishing powder. I use Avon black eye liner. I will use pretty much any eye shadow, but I really love kinds with a hint of sparkle. As for the eye brows...I use a pencil stick from Sally's Beauty Supply and really like how much fuller/shaped it makes my eye brows look. I love Maybellene's (I think it's them?) Colossial Lashes in black. I put makeup on daily, but not always eye shadow daily (just put on a "brow glow" below the brow).
Hair - Regis shampoo & conditioner, currently. I always switch when there is about 1/4th of the bottle left and then save the bottles for swapping between changes. I have to frequently change shampoo/conditioners or my hair misbehaves. Aveda volumizer tonic on the roots. I use Tressemee heat protectant spray. I use Aquanet hair spray occassionally.
Body wash - Japanese Cherry Blossom from Bath & Body, currently.
Scent - I currently use Avon stuff, but I can't remember the names...I know one is Tahetian something. I also like Japanese Cherry Blossom from Bath & Body.
Lotions - Bath & Body's body butter. I have raspberry vanilla right now and it smells super good.
Face Lotion - Biore just came out with a new SPF 30 + acne-type moisturizer that I adore. It is super expensive (I think) at $14 for a tiny bottle...but as long as I "nurse" it...it should last a while.

Oooh this is a lovely thread.
And this is going to be a looong post! It takes me at least half an hour to do my make up and I won't leave the house without a full face on. I wish I could, but I just can't, I don't feel I look "right" unless I do it this way.
I wear a lot of make up, I use everything in these lists everyday.
Face: Simple moisturizer, Rimmel Recover foundation, Maybelline Everfresh Concealer, Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder with a bit of whatever blusher is in my compacts. Face in now complete!
Eyes: Black eyeshadow brushed out and up, then a "light colour" white, flesh or silver brushed under my brow from the corner of my eye to the edge of my eyebrow. Then whatever colour I am wearing on top of that and blended with a little more of my "light colour". Then Maybelline black eyeliner on the water line, and out comes my love/hate liquid eyeliner! Thick line on top of my lashline with massive flicks. I wish I could do my make up more natural and ditch the heavy black eyes but I just don't like it any other way! Darken my eyebrows with a brown pencil. Then a coat of Maybelline Intese XXL mascara with another coat of Maybelle Colossal Volum' thrown on top for good measure. Eyes done!
Lips: Usually I'll wear a clear lipgloss in the day but at night time I put a rich red lipstick on with a nice coat of lipgloss over the top.
And that's me done. It never takes me less than 25 minutes and that's pushing it!
This is my usual day time make up and hair.
And then I add a bit of lipstick and straighten my hair if I'm going out or whatever.

When I went to America I got hooked on the japanese cherry blossom as well but you can't get it in this country
Face wise I only ever use Dermalogica. I love their agesmart products so I switch between ultracalming cleanser and skin resurfacing cleanser. Their Thermafoliant for exfoliating with is fab and either skin smoothing cream or Intensive moisture balance also could never be without their climate control stick which is brilliant for scottish weather lol!!
Body wise out of everything I am addicted to hand cream and love Tisserands origional hand cream is my fave. ALso love Avon's olive oil body butter
Make up I have never been that fussed tbh so hardly ever wear it (bit contradictory for my job but hey thats me LOL) If I do use it I wear Jane Iredales pressed powder base which is fantastic and you just look fresh and have a nice glow Love Bobby browns Nude lipstick and wear purples or gray and black on my lids.
Perfume my absoulte fave is Nina Ricci's De'ce de'la though also love Thierry Mugglers angel

I can't find MAC her either, well it's in Brown Thomas in the city closet to me but not in my town and MAC is soooo expensive! When I'm in the city next I think I'll buy a MAC mascara or something, just to say I have something that is MAC. A girl I know came into school today with MAC foundation and everyone was amazed, but then another friend broke it!

OK, I asked my resident cosmetologist Benn... he said Smashbox and Makeup Forever (both are at our Sephora store) were HIS favorites. He was using Bare Minerals but did not like it as well for some reason.
He said the Smashbox has a more orange tone to its mineral line and both are used for photo shoots.
So, I told him, I can feel like a model, even if I don't look like a model.
He still needs to help me with my hair color.

Haha! We use both of those (and tons of other stuff from Sephora) for our shoots! That's fun that Benn mentioned that.
I didn't even think to list what crap we use for shoots... That's a long list so I'll get back on that in the morning.

I actually came to this thread for eyebrow help.. I'm terrible at maintaining my own, but it makes me cringe to go to a spa and pay $20 for somethng that takes 5 minutes! So I was wondering if anyone had advice on tweezing? I always get one side lopsided or they start looking funny.. and I always fear about taking one that shouldhave stayed in! Maybe the $20 is worth it.. haha.
I'm super simple.. the most I wear usually is mascara or a bit of eyeliner on a daily basis. I hate mornings too much, so usually have about 15-30 minutes to shower and get ready.. no time to fuss.. LOL! I can get away with it now, but not for much longer haha.

Okay had a chat with my sister (she's my MUA for shoots) and in her arsenal we have various make up paraphenalia in these brands: Too Faced, DuWop, Sephora, MAC, Tarte, and SmashBox. She says practically everything she uses is either MAC or Too Faced, but she likes Smashbox's lip pencils the best, and Tarte's face primer.
