Wow Marsha, you have really put me on the spot here, and not sure how to start. But I am combining two post here in one, easier for description.
Now don't chuckle to much. But I am about much.
Do I use it all, yes at different times, but it is understood that I do not go over board on makeup, but I like dramatic, not thick.
I am the type that likes to try different types of makeup, and applications.
My foundation is by Prescriptive's ( they are out of business now) Which I have blended for my skin type. This required a skin test at the store. My cosmetic specialist now works for Channel and she said she can match it up. I bought enough to last a while before they went out of business.
Foundations....I do have several...I experiment. There used to be a process that required a triple layer, each one buffed down and darker with each shade...I learned this from a makeup artist, it works quite well but takes time.....but I do not use it any more.
Setting powder, again several...from translucent to pink to an ageless cover. Smash Box Halo Perfecting powder Light, my favorite. Reason, for this...you just turn the inside ring and it scrapes off a fresh setting powder off a compressed cake, and you can get just enough.
Blush...three, varying colors of pinkish red
Five lip liner pencils ...again depends on color.
Lipstick...OMG a bit of a fetish here, and not enough fingers. I do like to combine at least two different colors to get my desired shade depending on my mood, nails, and clothes.
Eyebrows...I have three, one pencil and two in a wax application first then a brown setting powder,
Eye shadow..I am impossible here, to many to count. My main look is a dark smoky winged look.
One black eye pencil, three cream liners, four liquid eye liners...again I like to experiment, but I do write down what I do so as to replicate it if I like the result.
One light pink pencil...this goes just under the eyebrow
Two types of whitish cream shadow, for the inner corners of the eye.. makes things pop.
Yes I am a bit of a fanatic, when it comes to makeup. But I like to be on the edge, and don't ask me what edge...I am still trying to figure this out.
Mascara, don't laugh but just two, and I find the cheaper brands work very well, Great Lash by Maybelline my all time favorite and I am trying ELF
Bronzer's...three, color is dependent on time of the year.
Shimmer powder...ha, one..wow you probably thought I was getting obsessive.
Bisque..by bare minerals..great to cover those little pesky spots that pop up.
Nail polish...now..my wife and I share several different colors...what does several mean...many of course, you know this by now.
Brushes...my makeup counter looks a bit like I am doing a portrait..I like brushes, and I am a tad fussy.
Oh I forgot, one lip plumper
But now, if I travel, I can pack lightly, for I know what works well for myself.
Do I dare go on, I think this covers it.......I have many different types of techniques, I prefer just a few now, some I forgot..senior moment, I can say that.
Nite everyone....Tammy yawning...you will to if you get this far.....LOL
