Sorry @Drythe - I read your post again after I posted and realized you are talking about @monicakm's post!

@monicakm @beach-mom - Don't think I was ever a one blush person.  I've got so many now, its embarassing. But I love having choices!  

As far as "taking a step away" from my makeup - yeah, I agree with @monicakm - I have no plans to do so nor do I want to.  I have plenty of perspective as to what's happening in the world around me.  Makeup and reading posts on this board is my fun time.

Of course women can survive without makeup, but why would they want to do that unless there is no option? One can get a perspective on life while wearing makeup; the two don't have to be separate.

I thought everyone here was a makeup fanatic or addict but I get a lot of "I don't wear e/s, blush, mascara, foundation, etc.  So I guess they just enjoy the chit chat

No, dear, not everyone here is a makeup fanatic.  Of course, people like to hear about new trends and colors etc, but, c'mon, if you had to, you could live the rest of your life without wearing ANY makeup at all ....  and survive quite nicely.

Most people have more important things to deal with and tend to.   Put the makeup away for a few days and get some perspective.  It may do you some good.

@Tinkrbl44 why would I want to live the rest of my life without wearing any make-up?  

For the record, in case you don't realize where you are, you are on a  SHOPPING channel BB.  What is discussed here isn't anything earth shattering.  I think most people who post here have perspective but we come here for fun chit-chat.  It's insulting for you to think that just because someone has a large make-up collection they aren't dealing with anything important.  Perhaps posting here is an escape for some people.

@teganslaw apparently some people aren't multi-taskers.  They can only concentrate on one thing at a time.  Or care about one thing at a time.  You know the type.  If you post that you donated to an animal shelter, you should have donated to a women's shelter or a children's hospital. Like you can't do both.

I think her enthusiasm for makeup is fun to read and very much appropriate for a Beauty forum. Here she just had major surgery and has had significant pain and she is discussing "happy" stuff instead of complaining. I enjoy her threads and since I am good at multitasking I don't need to "put the makeup away" in order to gain perspective.😀

You’ll ply my makeup out of my cold dead hands. And after you do, please touch up my lipstick.

😂😂😂😂😂😂

@monicakm @I've been blush challenged for a long time, probably since I developed rosacea. So redness on olive skin is tough. But I love lipsticks and eyeshadows. LOVE.

You Tube.  You can find days and days worth of videos on how to apply blush.  There are no rules tho so just do what you think looks best on YOU.  I choose to keep my blush application high on my cheeks.  And if adding bronzer is overwhelming to you, don't do it.  No rule saying you have to use bronzer.  It's just "in" right now.  In fact, I often wear bronzer as my blush (same placement) and add a highlight.  Practice
