I am always fascinated when i see women in public applying makeup and always want to watch how they do things. I never really 'learned' how to do it (and am actually going to a makeup lesson soon).
My DH always says that i do makeup in a way that does not look as if I am wearing it, which was meant to be a compliment, but I would love to be someone who can really transform her face with it. This is what I do;
dob concealer
foundation all over
brush eyebrows with toothbrush (dedicated toothbrush for (thick) eyebrows, not use my toothy toothbrush :) )
pluck a hair or two (eyebrows)
dob two spots of lipstick on lips, then merge colour with finger
blush with either lipstick if lazy or actual blusher (usually terracotta coloured)
mascara on top lashes only because it always runs.
very simple. If I am really making an effort then I will do a powder compact on top of foundation, shade eyes in in brown and neutral shades and would do lipliner but I never get that right.
I generally look a little pale and ordinary, but i honestly do not know what else to do. I kind of 'colour myself in' really.
Would love to know what other people do!
