Lips too - my eyes are very neutral but lips tend to be brighter.

Leslie Ash seemed to think so, too.

Or like a fish version of Pat Butcher.

eyes - definitely. Often leave the house without lippy, rarely without some eye makeup - makes me look awake.

bundle · 22/09/2005 10:43

the lips have it, methinks.

on the infrequent occasions i wear make up i always forget and rub my eyes, end up looking like a smacked up panda. not nice.

eyes. I can't stand it when lippy comes off on food and things urgh so I don't generally put it on.

Eyes - concealer, mascara.

Lips - balm, or sticky glossy things.

Lips. Have big brown eyes anyway so they are quite visible with little on.

expatinscotland · 22/09/2005 12:48

liner and under-eye lines are a bad mix, so I skip the liner.

Lippy - YES! With MAC Spice lip pencil. I've had one MAC Spice lip pencil for 3 years now.

Eyes. My lips are thin and have wrinkles round them from too much smoking in my wasted youth. Also I can't keep lip stuff on, constantly drinking or nibbling something so it rubs off, as HC says, bleurgh.

I do eyebrows (have none to speak of otherwise) and mascara (ditto) at the very least. Touche Eclat, eye liner and shadow if I feel particularly hideous that day.

I thought this thread was about sausage contents.

rofl hunker

If I'm going out (as in night out) I'm definitely an eyes person. Daytime is slick of juicy tube, mascara and touche eclat.

Which pencil do you recommend, cod? I usually use powder as I can never get a good pencil shade (and am blonde).
