Currently I'm not wearing any makeup right now and I usually don't, but I need to start wearing something for work. Most of the time I don't look right with lipstick, just lipgloss and I have some MAC concealer for my under eye bags. What else should I wear? I don't like foundation, I used to curl my eyelashes, I can't apply eyeliner:ohwell:, and I used to get pimples from lip liner for some reason. Anyways, what all do you wear for work? What should I wear? Tommorrow I'm going to the MAC counter.

Usually I'm in a hurry so I keep it to a minimum. Mascara, liner, blush, and gloss. If you had issues with eye makeup ask for hypoallergenic(sp?) formulas. Tinted moisturizers are awesome too. You don't get that heavy made up type feel.

I do it quick and simple in the mornings...I dust my face with my MAC Studio Fix, blush for some color and black eyeliner on my lids...top it all off with some lipbalm :look:

I guess I'll do blush, mascara, lipgloss, try some lip liner again, and I'll have them teach me how to put on eyeliner. And concealer.

Have you thought about getting a tinted moisturizer or a sheer powder? That's what I wore everyday (the powder) when I worked in an office. You can put it over your concealer.

I keep it minimal. I usually do eye shadow, mascara, blush and gloss. I absolutely must do a concealer as well.

Only mascara.I buy a lot of makeup but I never seem to wear it.:ohwell:
I would say go to Walgreen's or Ulta to buy some cheap products to play around with and then go to M.A.C. and buy similar items.

Oh crap I forgot that the mac stores will give you a free makeover with different products so that's also an option for trying out different products.

Daily:
I do a press powder and bronzer applied with a large brush, mascara and lip balm or l'oreal hip gloss


Sometimes I'll add blush, eye or lip liner

What brands should I try? I have always wanted to try a bronzer type powder or moisturizer for a "glow" look. Then I wouldn't need a blush right?

Oh yea, I ended up buying

NW 45 concealer
Graphblack eyeliner
Chestnut lipliner
Passion Preserved Pro Longwear Lipcolor
Plum Perfect Tinted Lip Conditioner
Brown Script Eyeshadow (I'm using it as a blush)

I was going to buy this eyeshadow just to "highlight" the lighter area right below my eyebrows, but things were getting a bit pricey...:yep:

I still need to get my eyelash curler.
