    I'm not a fan of a crap ton of makeup, but she certainly makes a good case for it. Bravo. Her makeup makes a huge difference.

    I love makeup but definitely couldn't dedicate myself daily to that amount. I used to wear some (just eye) almost daily and I've become too lazy for even that. Plus keeping it nice in the heat is ridiculous.

    make-up does make a big difference but it also involves effort, Im good with just putting on a bit of eyeliner and some lip gloss when i want to look different and that usually makes a pretty big difference anyhow.

    Her makeup definitely glams her up and gives her an exotic flair. Very nicely done also.

    But I think she's so beautiful without it. Perfect rosy complection, prominent cheekbones, curvy blue eyes, full lips, pleasant round fullness to her face.

    I love makeup though. I used to wear it all the time and wear it well. I took all my application tips from Vogue. I mostly go bare faced now unless I'm attending a social function. Plus I'm over 40 and don't want the foundation to settle into the little lines that now frame my eyes. If there's a way of avoiding that, please let me know :blush:

    Problem with makeup is when you're cozying up with a romantic interest and your face leaves a smear on his collar. Takes the mystique right out of the whole thing, LOL!

    To avoid the foundation thing: take a LOT of time selecting a foundation that perfectly matches your skin. Apply it only where needed, avoid the upper cheek just under and around the eyes. Blend well.

    I love makeup. My entire face - primer, foundation, bronzer, blush, shadow, liner, highlighter, brows, lips takes about 10 minutes. But I spend my days doing makeup so I've got it down to a science.

    I love make-up too. I rarely take the time to apply it nicely but it's so much fun to make yourself up. I am from a world where you do over the top stage type make up for performances. So much fun to transform yourself into someone or something else.

    EEK under eyes is where most women need it most! Find the right product and you won't see it under the eyes!

    Part of me wonders how many men would be upset if they saw their new girlfriend only with extreme makeup like this for the first few weeks or month, then saw her without it. Does it feel like getting ripped off? With the right makeup, a lot of people are decidedly better looking...

    Between makeup sorcery and photoshop we can all disguise our actual appearance!

    I wear makeup. To accentuate what already have. Plus it's kind of have to. I do hair so I have to pretty much look good everyday I'm in the salon. That means waking up thirty or more minutes early and putting an effort in. Mainly it's me getting up and drinking caffeine and sitting down at my vanity for 20 minutes!

    Use a makeup primer. It helps fill in the little lines and pores so your foundation goes on smoothly. Also, as others have stated, use an age-appropriate foundation. There are some great formulas out there, some that stay put and don't rub off. You can totally wear makeup over 40; I do it every day (full face, as in my profile pic).

    I do like her makeup but it's heavy for a day look. I feel like she could enhance her beauty with just some BB cream to even out her skin, fill in her eyebrows, mascara to bring out the blue eyes, maybe a little colour on her cheeks. That would be a great day look for her.

    I would recommend the becca primer it's pretty awesome!

    It takes me about 2 minutes maybe to do my make-up in the morning. BB cream foundation, eyeliner and mascara. Maybe eye-shadow if I'm feeling adventurous that day. I simply don't have the time or the desire to do more than that. Days that I don't work I don't even mess with it.
