Ok, so make up.

I never really hear it talked about here, then I think, "hell, I'm a girl. I like make up".

I hate looking in the mirror and looking at barefaced old Claire, so tell me .

What is your number one beauty product, what is it for, and why do you swear by it? For me, falsies mascara is the best. It makes my lashes look super long and super black!
 
I'm not huge on make-up, but I love eye-shadow! Nothing I really "swear" by, but I usually buy Mary Kay or Avon. I love Clinique lipstick and mascara, too!
 
Honestly, I'm so damn pale that I can never find a foundation/concealer that works for me. Plus I'm a total vampire. But apparently it's no longer cool to be pale, it's cool to be orange. Someone explain this?

Anyway, I use Max Factor foundation in the 'light ivory' shade. I change mascara's like there's no tomorrow, no idea why though. At the moment I'm using Revlon. 🙂

I am pale and proud! Just call me the SPF Nazi.
I swear by Bare Minerals foundation and Hard Candy bronzer. If I have at least those two products on, I feel like I'm ready to face people. My skin is so pale and gross, that if I don't wear makeup, I won't leave the house. :\
 
Omg awesome thread!!!
Well, I use a foundation by Givenchy called "Photo'Perfexion". I love it.. It's the only foundation I was ever fond of. I have quite problematic skin so it's hard for me to find a good foundation.
My favorite mascara is Nilens Jord. A Danish brand. Amazing mascara..

Haha, that's me too! I'm crazy pale, always use either Ivory or porcelain on my skin!
 
I usually use Maybelline. Mostly, that's the only brand of make up I buy. And Pupa! I love Pupa! They have amazing stuff. So cute and so sweet. My favourites are lip gloss and eye shadow. I love mascara too 😀 I don't wear foundation that often, but from time to time, I happen to use it. But I never go out from the house without my lip gloss.

I love Maybelline, too! I use their gel eyeliner and it rocks! And they have some nice lipsticks and glosses.
 
I don't use that much makeup, usually just mascara, and I have no favourite there, I buy different brands every time.

But hey! Have you guys tried Secret scent expressions coco butter kiss deodorant? It's the best deodorant EVER! Like EVER! The scent is to die for, it smells sooooo good, and I've never once smelled bad since I started using it, not even after my work outs! Buy it, buy it! 😀

I will hunt that down now.
Well I just started wearing makeup like this year. I was so proud of myself when I could make my eyeliner look good and how to put on mascara with out poking my eye out. But I am way behind everyone else my age, and never have time to put it on.
 
I don't wear makeup as it costs a lot and I'm far too lazy to go through that much hassle every day. I do use a foundation type thing,but it's one that matches to your skin tone so you basically just put it on like sun lotion (only a thin layer obviously) and then you're set. If I look a state then I'll dab a tiny bit of concealer around my eyes, but it's not pale enough for me really so I tend to avoid it if I can. I'm not bothered about what people think of me these days.
 
If I'm going practical, I have to have lip gloss. No I'm not going to give you a brand or flavor. Why? Cause I made it myself. I'm a crafty girl like that. 😛

If I'm not going for practical (and I rarely am), I love playing with a thousand different shades of eye shadow. My current favorites are the two in essence 09 summer flirt. That shadow was really inexpensive. And it goes on so soft, and it's just really pretty. Plus, it gives you instructions on a cute way to apply it. 🙂

I'm not big on make up (which sounds silly coming from a licensed make-up artist 🙂) but there's two things I can't live without. A 'light ivory' or 'spotlight' concealer and most importantly my mascara from Kanebo. It is the only brand whose mascara I can use, all others just literally run off my lashes.

I love Kanebo! 🙂 They have great skincare stuff too.
 
I adore makeup! Don't get me wrong, I'm happy with how I look, but I feel stunning when I've spent some time on my makeup. I've definitely found myself checking out the hot b*tch in the mirror after a good makeup session.

I guess I wear quite a bit of makeup when I'm going out. I wear Australis primer, Australis foundation, Benefit concealer (the best concealer I've ever used, and probably my favourite makeup brand), Revlon cream powder stuff (I know it sounds contradictory, but I don't know how else to explain it!), and then also Covergirl powder if I'm going out for more than 12 hours because I find it holds everything in place better.

I absolutely LOVE red lipstick and have 4 different brands and finishes. My absolutel favourite in the world is L'oreal colour riche in 'drumbeat red'. The colour stays put all day long, and if you don't reapply it doesn't fade unevenly, but rather leaves a nice subtle stain that looks fantastic. It's a matte finish, but I've added gloss to it before and it can be glossy as well. My one true love 🙂

My favorite red lipstick is Lipstick Queen's Thriller. I bet you'd like it!
I quit wearing after I had my daughter, but when I do give in it's black kohl eyeliner and lipgloss (reddish-brown). I don't even know what to do for cover-up now that my skin's changed🙁 plus, i'm super-freaked by some of the weird crap in make up, but that's a whole other issue😛
