Over the years I would always just wear lipstick or lip gloss and a little eye linner. Now, I think I want to venture out a little more and try some all natural foundation and eye shadows and spice things up.

Do you wear make up? If so, what kind do you use?

I wear lipstick, a very small amount of concealer (as needed) with translucent powder, lipstick / lipgloss, and mascara.

My favorite companies are Nicole Miller through Melaleuca (all natural and hypoallergenic) and Clinique. I also use Avon from time to time.

Most of my make-up is either from Mary Kay or the Jane Iredale collection. I'm a big fan of mineral powder.

Mac concealer, that cheap but great pink tube mascara, light Mac blush, and this awesome shimmery Mac lipstick if I am really trying to make myself feel more put together. Sometimes I also wear the Neutrogena tinted moisturizer.

I rarely wear makeup to the office anymore, which is something I'm trying to change.
When I do wear makeup I usually just buy off the shelf L'Oreal makeup - liquid liner, mascara and then usually just chapstick.

I'm so, not glam but I'm trying to change that!

I've been using Mary Kay since 2003 and really like it.

ooh i am a HUGE fan of the new Lorel mineral 'foundation' powder stuff!! it covers my slight redness (and any blemishes, isnt that stage over YET?) AND actually stays put all day!!

so usually i do the mineral powder (very fun) then just for extra fun the compact powder, mascara, and lipstick.

for mascara i keep trying to find one i like better than the cheapy mabeline 'Full n' Soft' Waterproof. but seriously it's the only one that actually gives me eyelashes that dont clump together and still MOVE while being waterproof! important since my contacts do not like bits of chipped mascara on them. oh no, that is certainly NOT fun!! and this is the only one i have found that makes my eyes happy... any other suggestions?

If you already have a mascara that works for you and it doesn't cost much-why change it?

I love the big fat concealer pencil from the Body Shop. I rarely wear makeup, but this stuff is awesome. I also am a big fan of the nicole miller line from melaleuca. It's a bit pricey, but it is really nice and all natural...I love the lip gloss and blush...but I think I bought the wrong color eyeshadow. I also have tinted moisturizer from arbonne...the jury is still out on that though.

I use the same amke-up kate uses. Loreal "bare naturale". It's only takes a few minutes to put on and it feels sooooo good on your skin. I also put on some eye liner, mascara (because for some odd reason, my eyes look really wierd without them) and some lip gloss/chapstick as the occassion calls for.

Wow, I have heard that Mary Kay is a good product, maybe I will give it a try especially after reading that Jacuqe has been using for 3 years. I am also a big fan of AVON make-up but I have never used any of their foundations.

I only wear Mary Kay. It is the only thing that works with my dry sentitive skin. I don't usually wear make up on the weekends. I like to give myself a break.

I only use lip gloss, usually a nude color or a bright red if I want to have fun. I like MAC but it doesn't really matter. I've got Cover Girl in my duffel bag right now. I work in the fashion industry and the company I work for likes a natural look so I don't even miss make up.

Hello all, I am new to the group. I would have to say AVON all the way! For the gal that was looking for good mascara, I just started using their "Wash off Waterproof Mascara." It is the best mascara I have ever used! I can rub my eyes and it doesn't get all over!!! And it makes my eyelashes look super long! No clumping either! They also have a "Daring Curves Waterproof Mascara," I haven't tried that one, but I have heard lots of good things about it in some of my AVON groups. AVON also just started a minerals line that is excellent also! If anyone wants any more information just let me know!

I use Bare Minerals for all over face and "warmth" (blush/bronzer.) Quite frankly my skin cleared up within a couple of weeks using it, and I have not looked back. I tried other things for a while, but nothing really looked as good and kept my skin as clear (I don't have to use the acne skin care anymore, which is a huge plus for me.)

I wear makeup every day when I'm at work, but I try to keep it natural looking. Right now I'm wearing Rimmel eyeshadow in Chocolatine, NARS lip gloss in Chelsea Girls, and a little black mascara. I use the white liner on the inside of my eyelids trick sometimes too.

I use bare minerals/escentuals also. I found the fastest fix is the all over powder, then a pink al lover color on the cheeks works great on lids too for just a hint of color. Mineral Veil followed by mascara on top. Lip gloss before I get out of the car at work and I'm done. All in under 10 minutes.
I was skeptical about the money for bare minerals but I truly think its worth it. especially if you can find multi uses for a product.
Sephora.com or amazon usually run a shipping deal.

I have always had problems with my skin (eczema) so foundation was always tough. I tried it all. I really love a few of the products that I offer through Arbonne...as the concealor queen (I have allergies and have always worn that) I can tell you I LOVE the one I sell...it helps puffiness too! I also wear their tinted moisturizer it is smoother and lighter then the one I was using from Clinique for $43 and Arbonne's is only $18!! I still like the plain old pink mascara from maybeline....oooops, I didn't tell you that!!
