I never got the hang of make-up and despise foundation, it looks cakey and powdery on me.
But I need my eye-liner (brown-black). Somedays I look okay with no liner, usually it is a necessity. My second choice would be lipstick, when my eyes are still sleep-swollen the lipstick pulls attention away from my eyes.
I am the color of boiled fowl in the winter - so bronzer, bronzer, bronzer and more bronzer. Without it I’m not fit to be seen!
I’d go without (which is what I usually do anyway)
One of the many reasons I don’t wear makeup is that I have to do pretty much all of it, or else I look out of balance (no light, easy, 5 minute makeup for me). Just lipstick, and I become “girl without eyes.” Just eye makeup, and I resemble a clown… mascara without eyeliner and shadow, Help! the mutant spiders have attacked my eyes. Eyeliner without mascara and the otherwise ok eyelashes disappear.
The only “foundation” that I’ve found that even comes close to matching is a liquid and powder combined. Those two alone doesn’t look finished, and my skin is bizarrely colored, so it looks ok with nothing at all, but makeup and no foundation clashes and brings out the uneveness in an unflattering way.
I have yet to find a blush that works for me. Perhaps if I did, then that might be the one makeup item.
Unless you’re counting lip balm. Then CARMEX!
Mascara here as well.
That’s about the only thing I wear these days. I may need makeup but it sure is easier this way.
My eyelashes are blonde but long. If I didn’t wear mascara my eyes would sink into my face.
I very rarely wear makeup. If I were limited to just one thing, I’d keep my powder foundation to even things out and to give my face a bit of colour. I’d also have my eyelashes tinted regularly, because my eyelashes, much like Jadis’, are pale and my eyes are too.
I’d have to have lipgloss-not lipstick-gloss! Light bronzer would be helpful too…but yeah, gotta have the gloss!
