"Overcoming Your Fear of Makeup; Part 1"

Allie Glines posted a great video on YouTube today entitled "Overcoming Your Fear Of Makeup; Parrt 1."

This video is part of a series she is going to do. Today she focused on knowing how to pick out the right foundation shade, application, color corrector, and concealer. I found it informative and thought some of you might be interested in watching it.

@monicakm - I bet you looked wonderful. So nice of hubby to notice.

This sounds interesting - "A darkish turquoise eyeliner on the bottom waterline and lash liner".

I used to watch Allie Glines, but lost interest.

@monicakm Are you saying you had all of those products on your face at the same time?

Seems like an awful lot of work.

@monicakm I originally thought that one couldn't collect SS if they never worked. Turns out that you can get part of your husband's, though at a lower price. There are certain requirements which you qualified for.

I also have the Tarte Park Avenue Princess bronzer. It's a light tone, and works good with my highlighters.

I won't be watching the video because I don't think I need it.. The video could help women who aren't sure about wearing makeup, though.

A normal amount of makeup in my opinion @Citrine1 . It's not a lot of work either.

I guess now that I'm older (67) and retired, it seems like a lot to me. Tinted moisturizer, blush, mascara and lipstick about does it for me. I rarely bother with eye shadow anymore. Don't need to worry about my brows as my bangs cover them. I can't imagine why I'd need a hightlighter and/or bronzer.

@monicakm I've always done an understated look, I guess. And, honestly, there are times that I go out without make-up at all.

We didn't find it. We've finally given up 🥺 DH has a way of finding things others can't find so he has a reputation to maintain and doesn't give up easily. It's gone 😢

Well gosh @monicakm . I lost a 14K gold hoop earring awhile back. I'm still hoping one day it will show up.

Is that all the makeup you wear? I'm almost 65 and have never worked. It seems like you could put forth just a tad bit more effort for a more elevated look. I enjoy putting on makeup and smelling divine, maybe that's not your thing. That's fine 😊

LOL. I could definitely put forth a tad bit more effort. Covid hit four years ago and I got lazy. What can I say?

I don't do perfumes as I am a migraine sufferer and odors are a trigger for me. I have to depend on my own devine aroma.

I like makeup. I got bored listening to Allie and moved on to Pretty over 50 doing a full face of Elf makeup. She looked good but I wasn't crazy about the blush color on her. Anyhow, I watched because I bought that Elf Halo Glow pink powder and I love it. 😲❤️.
So now I'm watching Allie's Elf video.
I'm 56, like a full face of makeup. I like the whole look. I like mine to look like Kimberly's in Pretty over 50 😉

Fragrance, fragrance is a trigger for your migraines, not odors, unless that was a Freudian slip) 🤭
I love fragrance so much and feel sorry for people who can't smell or enjoy fragrances/aromas. My nose hasn't been the same since covid. I can still smell but I know from aroma's I'm familiar with that I'm not smelling them as they really are.

LOL. No Freudian slip. I'm used to referring to any smell (perfume, candles, flowers) that bothers my head as an "odor". I guess that word is derogatory, but I didn't mean it that way. So many fragrances bother me.

I, too, lost my sense of smell when I had COVID, but have since regained it. Interesting that yours was permanently affected. I think many people are seeing long term effects.

I saw the thumbnail for that video and said "ewww". I don't have a fear of makeup so I moved past it. I like Allie, I just don't watch as many beauty videos as I used to.

Cute story....on the way to the city yesterday, DH looked over at me and said "you nailed your makeup today". So naturally my mind instantly goes to "does that mean I normally DON'T nail it?" But I managed to control what I wanted to ask and just said, "Thank you!" LOL
Haven't done one of these in a while and it was DH approved so here's what I had on my face yesterday.

Nars Light Reflecting Foundation
Kosas Feathery
Tarte Park Avenue Princess bronzer

Melt True Love Never Dies Highlighter
Natasha Denona Hy Glam Concealer
Westman Atilier Pressed Powder under my eyes

Ardell 113 Whispies
Colourpop SSS in Ritz. A fav that I thought I was nearly out of but found a backup in my stash

Lips
Elf Perfect Pink tip tint
with this over it. MAC Aladdin Collection

A darkish turquoise eyeliner on the bottom waterline and lash liner. I don't remember the brand.

Tom Ford Tobacco Oud perfume
Light washed jeans. A brown/black/cream top that looks like an animal print at first but it's not. You guys have seen it. Yellowbox Flipflops in animal print trimmed in denim.

SO, am I the only one that knew if you haven't worked, you can't get a SS check? LOL Apparently I will draw off my husband. None of all that gibberish made sense to my MS riddled brain. I think I would rather not be able to walk but had all my brain cells! Sheese! Oh well, I did get signed up for Medicare. I made the day of the SS worker that we dealt with tho. I can't tell if it was a good thing or a "bless her heart" type of thing Dad's words are ringing clearer and clearer with each passing old age year. Life Hard.

@monicakm My SO doesn't even realize I wear makeup. Apparently, he thinks I look the way I do naturally. I don't know what he thinks I'm doing while I keep him waiting lol (I spend much more time on skin care). I don't wear much eye makeup.

At first glance I thought this said Overcoming your fear of NO makeup!😄

And that would be a issue for me if that happened. I'm someone who would never

pack makeup away for a trip. Nope, it's staying' real close.

@monicakm Put forth more effort? To me, a full face of makeup was and is:

A little foundation/concealer whatever is needed

Eyebrow Pencil

Nice soft color on eyelids pink/beige

Back in the day a very thin eyeliner, top only

Mascara

MAYBE blush, maybe not.

Maybe soft lipstick or gloss, maybe not.

Anything else would have been not my style, and not acceptable for my line of work. It isn't about effort put forth, it is about how someone sees themselves, and what is appropriate for work, if you work.

um, yeah. About the putting forth more effort comment. Well sure, when I was much younger I put forth a lot of effort on my makeup. As I aged, I'm 72, and that season of life had passed, I began to prioritize other things besides my makeup. My look is minimal:

*Bare Minerals loose foundation on days I choose to wear foundation

*Concealer in dark corners of eyes

*Eyebrow enhancement as my brows are sparse and thin now

*Mascara

*Blush

Usually a light rosy lip balm if I'm leaving the house

it no longer seems important to "elevate my look". I am reasonably content with my appearance and don't care whether others find it satisfactory. Just as I am not concerned about how other women look. Not my business. A ton of makeup or none, everyone does what pleases them.
I have developed enough significant medical problems lately that my focus has shifted to health concerns. Yeah I still like to be presentable, and my little makeup routine serves that purpose.
