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!

Do you know I just added up how many items I NEED to get out the door and it is scary - 11! None are negotiable but if I had a gun to my head I would say lipstick. I could do with simplifying my regime but the older I get, the more definition I need as my face is sinking.

Blonde eyelashes = pig in a wig (or maybe an egg). So definitely mascara

Powder. I already get my eyebrows tinted and if I was strictly limited to one product only, then I would go and get the LVL lashes done Grin

Powder to take the shine off and help even out my skin tone a wee bit.

Eyebrow pencil. I have naturally thick brows but very unruly. Now I have thick, shaped brows.

Am I still allowed to have my eyebrows shaped and tinted?? If so, my one and only product would be Lily Lolo mineral foundation

Ooh Cointreau - me neither until last week when I got my first eyebrow crayon and realised that I'd been WRONG all these years!

Concealer, even though I never normally use it. Can't choose foundation on it own though, as that makes me look like an extra from a Michael Jackson video!

CointreauVersial - me too, until last year! Then I never stopped. I use The Face Shop Design My Brows. I normally wear this, and the rest of the face is bare. Still makes a lot of difference!

If I can sneak in a blusher, I'm a happy camper

I'm interested that so many deem eyebrows most important.
I pluck my eyebrows, but have never used any sort of brow pencil or powder

Colour corrector in salmon colour which neutralises my dark circles and eye bags. Really wakes up my eyes!
