Seems like an awful lot of work.  

 


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 .  Smiley Sad       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.
