I wear hardly any make-up during the summer. I'm outside alot and my face just feels yucky if I have make-up on and am sweating underneath it! I usually only wear some mascara and tinted lipgloss then. During the winter, I will wear foundation and blush so I won't look like death warmed over though. And I, too, have my toenails painted so the dirt isn't nearly as noticeable! I'll be barefootin' it for the remainder of my days!

I wear mineral foundation in the summer and the regular foundation in winter. I have a blotchy complection so the foundation evens it out, though I typically only wear it maybe 4 out of 7 days a week. Sometimes I will wear eye shadow and occasionally lip stick. I really have no where to go to get real madeup and my husband likes me simple anyway so no need to impress people! I did just buy some face cream at Bath & Body Works for 75% off and it has sun screen in it as well so I have been making sure to use that daily, since I am often outside for most of the day.

| Marly, I am assuming the mascara is from Costco the wholesale club store. I go there about once a month.Glad you enjoyed the tip on how to hide garden dirt(I'm sure there a lots of farmsisters that figured this out before me) I really do paint my toenails a darker pink. I wear flip flops lots of the time, most of the time in fact, except when I am out in the pasture, mowing or around snakey areas. I have bunions and regular shoes just make my feet hurt, so I like my toenails painted. I love the french manicure look, but that will never work for me. I'm going to try the white under the nails though. Ok, I could be like my grandmother and buy canvas tennis shoes and cut holes out where the bunions are......who knows it could be a whole other fashion statemnemt kinda like the jeans that people pay full price for that have holes in them. |

I am a makeup fanatic! Though I NEVER ever wear goopy creme foundation. That's a sure way to add ten years! I like bare minerals foundation, or tinted moisturizer. But my addiction lies in the color cosmetics. I have large almond shaped eyes, and so I love to wear tons of eyeliner and mascara, and I love lipstick, but only very dramatic stuff. No light pink for me. I guess I am like Dolly Parton, I like the whole glam bit. Long nails, full makeup (except foundation) and I totally use everything Mary Kay makes on my face. Though, I am thinking of switching to Burt's Bees. More natural, and they make color cosmetics too now.

I don't wear much either. Mostly I wear mascara (my eyelashes are light light light light) and lip stuff. Lips Maybelline super stay in a light copper color (I have red hair...not brassy red or orangey red but auburn like and green eyes)... I do Cover Girl eye shadows when I'm at work mostly purples/dark grey/green...and the matching Play up the green mascara...which is a raisin color! woo hoo...it looks like my hair color almost BUT it's not waterproof. BUT I recently found a waterproof Covergirl called Exact Highlights in a "black ruby" that is sort of tinted a bit red.
Years ago for summer I used to get my eyelashes tinted. I can't find anywhere to get that done anymore. It just made them a bit darker so I didn't need the mascara but it also looked very natural.
If I don't have a little mascara on, I look like I have no eyes! My skin is very pale and so are those darn lashes. But I have a lot of allergies and rub my eyes too much...hence the waterproof needs.... Oh and occasionally I paint my nails. In the summer I even do my toenails! (Ok so they are subdued in a brownish copper but they are done!)
When I get all "dolled" up for something special...it feels unnatural now. Like when I was on stage and using theatre make-up! Oh and at 49, I've finally taken up using a very light "wrinkle reducing" spf 50 Oil of Olay moisturizer every day when I go out...especially in the summer!!! I use a noxema spray sunscreen on the rest of me, long sleeve light tops, and a hat...
