I used to wear a lot more makeup when I was in college, but drifted away from it and I'm sure those trends are not today. I currently use eyeliner and mascara. If we're going out, I use Bare Minerals for foundation LOL! But I do think makeup is fun to play with. You should do a full makeup tips thing at the Clinique counter. I'm not sure if they charge for that now, but it used to be free (especially since they want you to buy the stuff).

It's especially cool because I get new ideas for how to use palettes I actually own. I second Helen's recommendation to try stuff at their counter first. Or go to pretty much ANY make-up counter and have them do an application for you to get new ideas. I did that before my wedding and got a lot of good looks, both formal occasion and everyday.Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18403024177515079403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067665701316634699.post-43516352622815805402018-02-05T13:34:47.333-06:002018-02-05T13:34:47.333-06:00LOL - I could not be serious when I was taking tho...LOL - I could not be serious when I was taking those pictures!Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05890227462052573887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067665701316634699.post-74978700832179311222018-02-05T13:31:33.551-06:002018-02-05T13:31:33.551-06:00Thanks for the suggestion - I'll have to stop ...Thanks for the suggestion - I'll have to stop by the Clinique counter and look for Angel Eyes.

E...Honestly, I think you look good in all of them. Each one is natural and not over made up. I totally get the loving the old bold colors. I think Max Factor "Pot 'o Blue" will forever be my favorite blue eyeshadow even though it's long discontinued and definitely better for a 16 year old than a 57 year old haha. <br /><br />You should look at Clinque's All About Shadow Single in Angel Eyes. It's my go to base and is a very pretty pink that works really well alone or with other colors as accents. Even though I believe they call it a shimmer, I don't find it too shimmery. If you could get to a Clinique counter you could try it for free before you buy!Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12308631304554235792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067665701316634699.post-8522398603349363452018-02-05T08:22:40.011-06:002018-02-05T08:22:40.011-06:00I like the first one best.

I am very thrifty when it comes to the end of stuff and it not coming out the dispenser. I just empty it into my travel containers. There's always a lot of shampoo/face wash/etc. left over. debbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17967505760808535408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067665701316634699.post-83424609596259875192018-02-05T07:38:39.026-06:002018-02-05T07:38:39.026-06:00That's how I was, not bothering to put on eye ...That's how I was, not bothering to put on eye shadow because you couldn't even see it. The eyelid surgery helped - I still don't have those gorgeous deep-set eyes, but that's because I never did, LOL. Interesting tip on your mascara - I seem to get flakes with older tubes...I'm stingy about throwing away seemingly good mascara, even when it's been open and used for way longer than is recommended.

I never knew that eye surgery thing was a "thing" until you talked about your surgery. I could see something like that in my future cus I have the same type of eyes. It doesn't even pay for me to spend time on eye shadow cus you can't see it. I had the hardest time with mascara till just recently. I only put it on my top lashes and it would always flake off (no matter what brand) and I would have black marks under my eyes. I just started putting a coat of clear mascara on first and then the dark mascara on top. Seems to be staying on better now.Fairytales and Fitnesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11771224209536216240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067665701316634699.post-62507099060082521242018-02-05T06:34:06.959-06:002018-02-05T06:34:06.959-06:00My biggest complaint about most eyeshadows is that...My biggest complaint about most eyeshadows is that they are not matte. They seem to have some frost to them which just serves to emphasize my wrinkles. Hello, makeup companies? Women over 50 do like to wear eyeshadow. For now, I'm just putting eyeliner on my upper lids and highlighting with bronzer.Wendy at Taking the Long Way Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09934786207724059919noreply@blogger.com
