What Makeup item could you live without?

For me, it would be eyeshadow, I no longer wear it, and if I had to I could give up Blush....What about you?

Re: What Makeup item could you live without?

Haven't used eyeshadow for almost 20 years....and saved a bundle !  

 

Found that my IT under eye concealer did an excellent job of not only hiding the age-darkened eyelid, but also served as a matte shadow which did not crease!

 

It brightened the eye area beautifully !  Love getting double duty from products !

I would save a boat load of money if I gave up eye shadow, it's my favorite make up product!  Love being able to do different looks depending on my mood, how much time I have, etc.

 

For me it would be lipstick.  Have never been a huge fan and realized recently that even though I own quite a few, they're probably all expired because I normally just wear a glossy lip balm every day.  

 

Now that my lips have lost some volume with age, just don't like how it looks any more.  I never seem to be able to find the perfect nude shade either, so would just rather do without.

I have not worn eyeshadow in forever.  And I rarely use mascara.  I wear contacts, and I guess I don't like not being able to touch around my eyes without messing up any eye makeup.  And once mascara starts to flake, it looks horrible.  Of course, the mascaras are much better now than when I used to wear it every day, which was like 20 years ago.

Eye and lip liner. I've never used either one.

Yup, it would have to be eyeshadow for me, too. Secondly, it would be mascara because now that my lashes are full, thick, long and dark from using Careprost, I no longer need or wear it. Woo-Hoo!

None! 

I have worn makeup since high school, the nuns used to follow me into the bathroom and make me take it off!

I would just put it back on again.

It takes me 5 minutes to do my makeup. Eyebrows, gel eyeliner, shadow, foundation bnb, blush & lipstick. 

There used to be a time when I wouldn't be seen without but if I have to answer the door its plain jane time but when I go out which isn't often I put some on. I feel better and look better. I might skip mascara but have to have eyebrows and lipstick and none of that lip gloss stuff, the real thing. I need color in my face. I wear it lightly so never overdone.

The hair goes in a ponytail most days with my baseball evil eye cap (thank you housewives) and I rarely wear my long hair down. I did curl my hair this month three times which is a record. Already decided years ago I would not cut my long hair, its my hair and I don't care if its too long, it makes me feel good and that's all that matters! I have beautiful hair, I cut it once when I was 19 and it looked awful so long it is... ☼

I haven't worn eyeshadow for about 2 years so that definitely can go.

I wear Tarte Shape Tape Concealer, Geller Kajal Liner, It Brow Pencil, Thrive Mascara, Geller or Bobbi Brown Blush, and a light Lip Gloss.

Everything else can go. I do wear Urban Decay Setting Spray and really like the way it holds any makeup I have applied.

It would be difficult for me to give up any make-up item that I use, but if I had to pick one I'd say lip liner.   

 

I've always loved make-up and couldn't imagine going out anywhere without it.   I'm on the pale side and without at least blush and eyebrow liner I look very drab.  

 

Even when I am only at home I always put on make-up.  It just makes me feel better when I glance at myself in the mirror.

Eyebrow pencils, lip liners, primers and highlighters.
