Glam yourself up....
Kirsty16-Jun-23
It amazes me how some people can 'transform' themselves with make-up, fake lashes etc.
I struggle with mascara don't even get me started on blush 'rosy cheeks' disaster!
What's your 'going out for the night' look?
Comments
  • Usually just 'do up' my eyes but other than that I don't care enough to do the rest
    ·
    • only special occasions
      ·
      • Makeup is really for those under 35, if you wear it when your old then you look rather tarty. Depends on what you use. The whole works is not a good look on older people.
        ·
        • I used to use lots of mascara and eyeliner. Now I sit home and get the most out of the Rent I pay!
          ·
          • I don't buy a lot of make-up at all and don't intend to start doing so now
            ·
            • I don't wear a lot of makeup, Im more of a natural look
              ·
              • I go for the more natural look but may use a darker eye shadow for evening.
                ·
                • I go very light on the make up. I prefer natural beauty. I certainly don't wear it around the house!
                  ·
                  • For me it’s all about the eyes, I am lucky to have long eye lashes so heaps of mascara, some eye liner and brows.
                    ·
                    • If you have a naturally beautiful skin very light makeup, eyeliner, eye brows and a matching lipstick would transform you into a lovely 🥰 lady. Isn’t that enough? Remember, the beauty is in the eyes of the beholder!
                      ·
                      • I am beautiful since the day I was born. So I don't care.
                        ·
                        • Too lazy
                          ·
                        • It amazes me, too. Sometimes I wish to do it, just a bit, but its a struggle. I might try just for once out of curiosity...but not for going out for the night, when I did go out I went without make up. Some people are so good at it...and I don’t like a heavily masked face. But...some people do.

                          • Have you ever thought about how much poison these people are putting their bodies - absorbed through the skin. Absolutely no way - I say - my health and skin is more important to me than making myself look false to impress others. NO WAY.
                            ·
                            • Nothing special, just make-up and perhaps eye shadow.
                              ·
                              • I always like mascara and will blow wave my hair and wear some lippy
                                ·
                                • I rarely wear makeup .... but then, I don't really have a chance to go out to anywhere that would be suitable, either. Not something I have ever been used to doing. I think in part it can be a habit, and I have never developed that habit.
                                  ·
                                  • Haven't wore any makeup since my teens, many moons ago. Never know if it has been tested on animals so never use it.. If people don't like me for who I am, what I look like then I don't need them in my life
                                    ·
                                    • Natural beauty is most most vital and no one still not trying to get that easily. No need to spend any cent to get the natural beauty. Do the following . If works pay gor me. You have six doors in your body. Eye. Ear, nose, tounge, body and mind. If you control these six seriously you will get maximum beauty soon. Means pl use your eye ear nose mouth and body to keep peaceful mind always. Then you will become most beautiful person to you as well as to all of us.

                                        • I don't wear make-up on a daily basis so, when I go out, I like to make a bit of an effort. My go-to is smoky eye and bright lip.
                                          ·
                                          • It's amazing how much stuff they put on their face...you see it in videos.....I don't even own any lippy. I stay home at nights, especially in this cold weather
                                            ·
                                            • Makeup should just be used subtly to enhance your natural features but if you want to glam up your look for a special occasion there is nothing wrong with that as long as you don't look like Adam Lambert lol.

                                                  • I dont go out as often anymore. Covid,and more recently inflation. But assuming I did,probably shower,perfume,b.b cream(not foundation or powder). Lip gloss and if it's night time a touch of eye shadow and clear eyelash serum. I don't use mascara, it's not good for your eyelashes and can be messy. I use eyelashes serum. It's healthier,helps you retain your lashes and looks more natural.

                                                    • I don't wear a lot of makeup, mainly mascara and blush and lip gloss. I admit I have become a little lazy since covoid started and still having to wear a mask when I visit aged care homes or doctors make lippy a rare pleasure

                                                      • Normally I do not wear make up. When I do, It is just a little color on the eyelids, a fine line under the eye, mascara and blush with lip gloss. I've never been a heavy user of make up.

Lashes so long and thickened by crud, that fake doesn't even begin to describe it. LESS IS MORE, LADIES. Don't play the GLAM SHAM. IT ISN'T PRETTY. Accent your natural looks. Nothing like dating someone who comes off fairly attractive, then the lights get bright or the sun comes up and BAM......WHO THE HECK ARE YOU? Bait and switch ain't cool. Kirsty, you are fine, I'm sure. If you need some tips, go to a department store and ask for just a few pointers. Please don't cake your face. It's really nasty. Ask men. They don't like over madeup chicks.

Are they going back to the 60s era or something? You can play up your best features, say your eyes, or lips, but doing it with a bit of make up is ok, but going too far is not ok. It shows, you can tell fake from real. Girls always look their best when they are teenagers. When they are still at school, as you can see their natural look. When they are somewhat older they tend to change. From their body shape, often out of shape, or they get tattooed and pierced , or wear too much false crap on their body parts Go back 100 years ago and women were much more beautiful than now days...when they were younger that is. See some of the old photos, tho, they were in black and white, not colour, but paintings were in colour. Such beauty's did exist in those days. I've seen some stunners.

My nights now are sitting at my computer or watching TV. My 'day' look though is a thin layer of body lotion - on my face; no need for expensive face only crap - a little mascara so you can see I have lashes (mine are white and pretty invisible if you're not right up on me), a little swipe of blush - natural, not too pink or dark - and some natural looking lip color with a layer of clear gloss over top. The finished look is pretty natural except for shiny lips. I hate hate hate dry lips and the clear gloss remedies that. I feel good when I go out with this face 'on' but I have gone out bare-faced a few times. I don't like the "you look tired" or "are you okay?" comments so I usually do take the 5 minutes or less to put on my 'awake and well' look

I think the young girls of today are all look a likes - nothing is individual about them and it all looks so false and plastered on.

Lipstick is my main thing I like to glam up with.
