What makeup do you prefer (if any)?

I wish someone would tell me an easy way to apply mascara to my ever more sparse lower lashes. I tried Nichole Shirtslinger's ( sorry ) tip of using a tepe, but with limited success.

Just bought the best eyeliner ever. It's Maybelline lasting drama gel. The applicator is so easy to use and it lasts for ages.
I have hardly any eyelashes so can't use mascara.
Got it on Amazon!

You can never use too much moisteriser massaged in.

Missfoodlove thanks for the link. It's amazing. I should be changing the beds but I think I'll have a play with my makeup instead. Much more fun

I downloaded Photodiva from photodiva.net/, it is a free photo editor for portraits in fact but is also can add some makeup. So I just apply random makeups to see if it will look good lol. Some combinations really worked and I use them now.

The above link is a great 50+ tutorial/make over.
I copied this with similar products with great success.

I particularly like Clinique lipsticks. I have tried others but think they are the best and wouldn’t use any other brand now

I have loads of tips gained from various beauticians and magazines over the years.

E. g. for lasting lipstick:

1. Apply foundation over the edges of the lips, to make for a smooth transition.
2. Use lip liner.
3. Apply lipstick with a brush.
4. Squeeze a tissue between lips to press colour into skin and remove excess.
5. Repeat 3 and 4.
6. Apply gloss. One beautician had a liquid like nail varnish, which you lightly paint on then allow to dry like nail varnish so you can't close your lips for a couple of minutes.

Sounds a horrible faff, but it lasts for ages, and it doesn't feel likes it's caked on, strangely.

Between times keep lips well moisturised.

You have ten eyeliners or you like ten eyeliners?
If you like ten why would you need more?

I once got some advice for my ageing face, and decided to stop using eyeliner.

I haven't used makeup for ages but I bought a make-up mirror with 5x magnification and lights earlier this week (on offer at Aldi for €14.99) and decided that it would now be much easier to apply so I could start wearing it again. I also have boxes and drawers full of stuff to use up.

I shall start with a dab of foundation and a flick of mascara (don't want to scare the DGC). I might have to start going to places where people see me, too.
