Eyeliner for me.
My eyes look like currants without it. I look tired and old. But with it... Less tired and merely getting on a bit.

What's your single item?
NO cheating with multi function things like using lipstick as blusher. It's a lipstick OR a blusher, not both!

Lipstick. I have pale lips and look colourless without it. I have dark eyes with fairly long, dark eyelashes and don't bother with eye make up as I wear glasses.

Sometimesithinkimbonkers · 05/02/2016 20:58

Eyeliner.... Without they look like piss holes in the snow!
