A dab of Becca shimmering skin perfector all over, which I've "matted down" with some House of Colour dual foundation, MAC ladyblush on the apples of my cheeks, Becca Auburn brown colour on my brows, I've defined my socket line with another Becca shadow who's name escapes me but its a smokey light warm brown, and Fabulash mascara in brown. MAC Crosswires lipstick which has no doubt worn off as it was this morning.

'loreal mascara-one of the new ones for blue eyes'

I got this last week pink, what do you think of it? I find it gives good length (snigger) but is a bit clumpy

Bunbaker · 19/10/2011 16:18

Today - nothing

For work I usually wear Vie tinted moisturiser, Boots no7 blusher and some lipstick - usually Vie. My eyes are too old and crepey looking to wear eye make-up as it just accentuates all the wrinkles, so I don't bother.

pink4ever · 19/10/2011 16:19

josie-I am disapointed in the mascara-but I always am whenever I stray from loreal lash architect-have tried other more expensive ones like lancome etc but this is by far and away the best.

Doublewear foundation in 'bone'

Erm... that's it Blush I have weird dark eyes despite being blonde so I don't think I need eye make-up during the day. I should probably use blusher though, I do feel a bit ghostly without a tan. And I'm not grown-up enough for lipstick.
