    Default How much makeup?

    do you need to wear at work? Is it better to wear more or less? The only thing I put on is foundation, mascara & a little black eyeliner on the lower lashline. A guy (not customer) said that I should be wearing more. Not that I need it, but I do look younger than I am so maybe it would help. The thing is, I don't really know how to make it look good. Practice? Which (inexpensive) brands are the best?

    I wear a lot of makeup at work. Not tacky overdone, but a lot more than I wear outside of work. I get a lot of good deals on makeup at walmart. Good brands for cheap pencil eyeliner are Rimmel and NYC. Maybelline and Loreal are good brands for eyeshadow and liquid eyeliner. Covergirl makes a lot of cool eyeshadow colors too.

    I have pretty good skin. On slow nights, I just do my eyemakeup. On the weekends I use Covergirl foundation, powder, mascara, yellow eyeshadow (turns gold w/ my skintone) and pink/mauve blush. Voila!

    Most men that I've run into shy away from the "to done up" look. I look very natural, but I still look glam. I hope that makes sense.

    To Exotisch: There is a girl at my club who wears hotpink. She only wears it on her lids though. It really brightens her up. Try it!

    in a cub one of the few things a guys sees are your eyes. keep in mind they are coming for a fantasy. your really not supposed to look conservitive your supposed to look exctic, i believe there is nothing to bright or no such tthing as to much eye shadow but you can over do the dark eye liner. try bright colors that match your clothig but if you still think that is too much to start with try a white shimmer with a eye shadow base under it ( so it is brighter) then line both lashes with a vibrant eye liner. you can not buy these bright colrs at walmart you have to go to a make up store. as for aplying: go to a mac counter or a clinique and get a few free make overs they wi glady show you some simple tricks.

    with any sort of pinks or reds around your eyes you have to make sure to do only the lids, cause if you get any underneath it makes you look like crap. i know for a fact that walmart sells great makeup. very, very rarely do i buy makeup anywhere else. unless its a specialty item. nyc has great colors and its good makeup, much better than wet n wild but the same prices. i like those kits they sell with all the makeup in it. you can get the best ones at like jcpenney, theyre maybe $25 tops. and they have a bunch of colors in them. you can buy different kinds too, ones with just lips or just eyes or nails. get one of the little kits and just play around. great way to kill time

    i like how the aqua looks. this is a great color on you, dont be scared. id blend out a little bit more. try it with a little bit of shimmer powder too. onto your brown bone, and on top of your cheekbones. i think that even bright colors look dull without shimmer. theres this revlon kit thingy that has four little pots of color. the one i have has dark gray med gray a silver and then a pink, theyre all really shimmery. its not a powder, almost like a cream but it goes on just like powder. its hard to explain, but its awesome! and they come in other color combos too, but pink makes for a great base underneath any eyeshadow.

    I have this same one. It's cream eyeshadow. They're great colors for the smoky eye/pornstar look and are easy to blend, but they crease really easily. I always have to touch it up and reblend it throughout the night, but they're great colors. MAC has similar paint colors, but if you don't mind retouching all night, the Revlon colors are worth it.

    Wow... I went to a test shoot yesterday with the photographer for my upcoming calendar shoot and he asked me if I usually wear "such natural makeup". I thought I was wearing a lot!! How the hell do you look thoroughly made-up but not plastered or tacky?

    ^^^ Just wear everything a little darker. Under bright lights (like for a photo shoot) you can look washed out, and in dim lights (like in a club) your makeup doesn't show up as much. I draw a thicker line for eyeliner than I normally would, and layer my eyeshadow a little darker so that it shows up better. I don't wear much blush (just a little pale pink) because my skin is so pale that if I wear even a little bit of blush, it can look unnatural and streaky. I really try to play up my eyes, and keep my cheeks and lips more natural.

    sally hansen makes the bombest eye shadow ever. The color sticks are awesome, I usually use either aqua or green and they rock. No creasing, show up beautifully, but they are a bitch to get off.

    In photoshoots everyday makeup is not enough. The hot, bright lights and the room tend to wash the skin out more. If possible, next time hire a MUA. If that isn't doable, get a heavy coverage foundation/powder a little darker than your natural skintone.

    I think the trick is shading, it takes a while to get it right.. Don't put just lines of color on but shade from light to dark, I don't recommend too many pinks or reds in clubs with good lighting, only because it tends to make the make-up stand out, not your eyes.
    Dark clubs you cna wear just about anything (and should), it seems the more natural girls tend to look tired, since black lights don't really add to the glow of skin.
    I just say practice and practice.. The best make-up for me is magazines, I try out what a new star is wearing and especially love porn star make-up..
    Only color that never looked right for me was Pamela Anderson blue, made me look washed out, and my blue eyes weren't so blue with it on.
    Have fun and copy others, watch what they do and make up yourself in your own way.
    Please don't lick me, it tickles..

    To CK and MadisonM:

    Thanks! Those sound like good suggestions... I'm considering getting some false lashes and trying the "darker foundation, lighter blush" trick for my skin.

    Also, how does one go about putting eyeshadow UNDER the eyes? Whenever I do it it looks weird... Does it depend much on the shape of the eye itself?
