Makeup Continued

What do you wear or not wear? When do you wear it? Why? What do you like?

Skin:

I used to use St. Ives Apricot Scrub and I still love those abrasive scrubs, feels so clean. But now I hear these are too rough for the face and cause teeny tiny scrapes and cuts. I have used coffee grounds, sugar, and salt mixed with body wash before. How about you?

I use tea tree oil on my skin if I have blemishes and it seems to work overnight.

Makeup:

I like playing with makeup for special occasions - eye shadow, lipstick, but most days I just put on a few smudges of light foundation or concealer here and there (just under my eyes and on the sides of my nose) a tiny bit of powder blush, a little bit of eyeliner and mascara, and lip balm or gloss. Plus in the summer some translucent powder on my brow, nose and chin.

I don't wear the same makeup all year. In the winter I have drier skin and look a little paler than in the summer, so the makeup changes, and the other products too.

I started using an eyebrow pencil sometimes too, to fill in and darken my brows sometimes. It's easy to go overboard with it, though.

My favorite makeup look is strong dark winged eyeliner and red lips, like 1950s makeup. But that takes more time and more frequent touch-ups, and looks too dramatic for every day. It's just for sometimes.

(There was a Makeup thread from 2012-2013 that is now locked. I hope this is the way to continue old locked threads by simply starting a new one with a similar title.)
