I started experimenting with makeup when I was about 12/13. Mama & Muda did allow lipgloss but nothing more. Nail polish (other than a clear coat), lipstick & eye makeup was forbidden. Papa Jones wasn't having it. I had to convince him that my "lipgloss" was actually Vaseline. Old dude went so far as to ask me why I wanted to look like a whore? *record scratch* Damn Papa...never mind. Needless to say, my face was always makeup free in his presence. {R.I.P. Papa}
Lawd knows I've had some mishaps over the last 20+ years - the purple Wet & Wild lipstick, the liquid liner drawn on symbols in the corners of my eyes, the blue eye shadow with the pink outfit & so many others.
I'm still learning which foundations work best with the camera. I've seen some of my photos & was taken aback. I didn't look cute, I looked ashy as a mofo! Soooo not cute on film.
Ladies & Gentlemen alike - what makeup mishaps on others just makes you cringe?
Queen, this is my subject right here. I've had some mishaps of my own that I've seen on others as well:
ReplyDelete- Too much foundation "caked" on in too many layers (Guilty)
- Black lipliner with lipgloss or lipstick that isn't complementary (Use brown or reds to line lips unless you're wearing black lipstick)
- Too much mascara (aka tarantula eyes or Tammy Faye Bakker -rip)
- Wrong foundation shade (Guilty)
- Over-tweezed/waxed eyebrows, then darkly pencilled in (Lucille Ball or a particular ethnic group)
- Demarcation line (not blending foundation or makeup into your hairline or under your chin properly) (Guilty)
- Too much eyeshadow / wrong color
- Too much blush or rouge (nobody's cheeks are that rosy esp a beautiful Black woman's)
- Eyeliner on both the top and bottom (line either or not both)
- Lipstick on teeth (once you apply, stick your finger in your mouth, close your lips and pull your finger out which takes off the excess)
- Getting makeup on your / other's clothes (I hate pulling away from someone I've hugged and seeing my foundation on their white shirt or clothing and I KNOW they do too...lol. So Guilty)
This is my subject right here! Y'all know I am a make-up-aholic! Been playing with & practicing with since highschool...
ReplyDeleteMine answers kinda mimic Glamma's answer's:
Too much/wrong color foundation/not blending along the neck & hairline
bright pink lipstick doesn't look good on ANYone
too much blush
Over-penciled eyebrows
Lipliner that is WAY too dark for the lipstick/gloss that is being worn
However, I see no problem with eyeliner on the top & bottom. That's how I wear mine... I don't wear liquid eyeliner though, I wear sof kohl pencils that are blendable...which makes a difference.
Since I do make-up as a semi-side gig, here are a few pointers (for those who care) *lol*:
When applying foundation (powder compact type) - use a BRUSH, not the sponge - it delivers too much product and makes it look cakey, and also helps blend in around the hair/neckline
If you must use pencil in your eyebrows (I do, b/c they are so sparse), use feathery strokes...and use an eyebrow brush to blend the liner in so that it isn't so harsh looking
Try to stick with shimmer eyeshadow colors as opposed to matte (matte tends to look chalky and cakey halfway thru the day) AND use a WET applicator/brush to get longer lasting color power.
*sigh* I loveeeeeeeeeeeeeee makeup! I think I'm gonna find sommma my "best of" make-up pics and post.
Haven't done much making up of self lately *lol* Too damn tired!
Good info ladies!
ReplyDeleteStarr, I've seen your makeup skills and you are awesome!
My mom never let us wear makeup outside (I still don't) but when I was a wee one, I took my allowance to the flea market at least once a month to buy a makup kit. Usually I ended up looking like accross between Bozo or his cousin two times removed Juggles the Clown *LMAO*
ReplyDeleteU know who could really use some makeup tips? Janice Dickenson .. swear to beans, I had a nightmare about her chasing me. She had a peg leg and her face skin was falling off ...bwahahhahahaha. No more fried chicken before bed!!!
I'm a makeup newbie in that I've only started wearing full on war paint the last 2-3 years or so. My mom has done make up for most her life since she used to be a cosmetologist, and her skills are just now starting to rub off on me, so to speak. One mistake I made in my discovery (and even in high school) is that you don't have to have such a strong lip. I have large full lips, so big, red, bright lipsticks are wholly unnecessary -- unless I'm going for an evening look and want my lips to pop. I remember my mom caught my ass at school coming up there to get me early, and she busted me in typing class wearing this bright, hooker red lipstick. I saw her scowling at me through the classroom door! LOL...I thought she was gonna kick my ass, but she was cool about it and just laughed at me.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I'm leaning more towards the clean look these days...some foundation, a light gloss/color, mascara, occasional liner --bottom only, and dramatic eyes (depending on what colors I'm wearing to work.or wherever).
I just dont do make up... cuz for one I dont know what colors look good and the times that I have tried to put it on... I end up looking like a bad case of drag-queen-ism.... And you know the drags know how to wear some make up... I may do some lipstick when dressed up or some glossy lipgloss... But thats about it...
ReplyDeleteon a daily basis, i just dust some powder on...fluff up my brows...mascara and some lip gloss. But when I go out-OUT? honey, ain't no tellin. I used to look at alot of "video ho" (excuse the term) and soap opera make-up...I try to go for something dramatic when I can get away with it...
ReplyDeleteI love colors, but try to still stick with what looks good on high yella...
Kinda like Glama and Star, I'm a make-up FOOL. I have been experimenting with make-up since I can remember. I bought all those teen make-up magazines for the make-up tips and tricks as a preteen. But ironically I hardly ever wear it on a day to day basis. One of my coworkers recently saw some of my "glamour" shots and asked if that person "lived here". She didn't know it was me because she said she's never seen me wear make up. LOL
ReplyDeletemake-up that makes me cringe----
-black lip liner with red (or any other color) lipstick
-icy white eye shadow (especially on older ladies)
-extraordinarily drawn on eye brows
-greasy foundation. looking like your face is gonna slide off is NOT cute
-i also hate to see ladies with thin lips try to make their lips bigger with lipstick or liner
-oh...and people who try to make themselves "light skinneded" with face powder...NOT CUTE
I go au naturale.... This is for the make up fools...how would you fix up this face?
ReplyDeleteAnd thats a bad pic, by the way...
ReplyDeleteOn a daily basis, I normally wear lipgloss/stick and that's it. If I feel like it, I do my eyes which I think is my best feature---smokey top and half bottom liner with a darker shade in the crease and nudely highlighted in the inside for pop. A little mascara.
ReplyDeleteRed...I would give you a brown and mauvey pallette. Since you don't normally wear make up I wouldn't load you down. A nice nude lipgloss, line your eyes with my favorite smokey look with some pinkishly nude eye shadow with a brown base. A little face powder for coverage. You'd be good to go.
You need to makes those eyes pop a little bit more...Some liner will help and wee bit of shadow... And no bangs for you!!! I know this aint' about hair....but I think pulling your hair back would open up those eyes some more.
ReplyDeleteI think you have gorgeous skin...it's quite glowing and clear, so you would need little to no foundation. Maybe a light powder..and some color on those cheeks...pronto!!! LOL And girl, if you don't put some lipgloss or some nice mauve colored lipstick on, I'mo getcha!!! lmaoooooooo
BUT!! I should say I'm not really one to do make up on another person though. My palette is the easiest to work with.
high 5 on that...
ReplyDeleteWe on the same page for the most part, Flyy!!!!
ReplyDeleteI am high yella, and my eyelashes and brow are rather sandy brown/blondish...I HAVE to wear mascara or I look like a plucked chicken... *lol*
ReplyDeleteBeing a former Mary Kay Consultant (oh the memories and the money!), some find it surprising that I don't wear make up often. Eyeliner, mascara and gloss is usually all I wear. Formal dinners and such, might warrant bringing out the "kit", but normally, I'm just natural.
ReplyDeleteWhen I do choose to wear foundation, you can't tell. That's the whole point of wearing it...to fix flaws, but to remain natural-looking. Also, I have seasonal foundation shades. Women usually forget that they're darker during the summer months.
Just a friendly FYI...you can't wear foundation from 2 shades ago.
Most companies have pointers on blending shades...shadows, blush and lip colors that match your skin tone, giving you a fresh, but still natural look.
Now you trying to hurt me... I loves my bangs... takes me back to when my momma used to do my hair and give me a bang using that sponge roller and when I got up the next morning that bang was so tight it almost lasted a week... lmaoo
ReplyDeleteBut seriously... I've been fond of exposing my forehead... Dont know why..
A lil to bright huh... lol I tried that once, using my sisters make up and putting some light pink on my cheeks and my sis walks in asks why I was putting eye shadow on my cheeks... lmaoooo And no this wasnt like when I was 12 years old... This was last month... lol
ReplyDeleteAnd I used to try putting on eye liner... but after a few times of forgetting I had it on and sitting around and just wiping my eyes I ended up looking like Mo just decked me in the eye.. lol
Awwww damn, not the dreaded sponge roller bang!! That line roller created never seemed to want to go away! Tight ass curl.....
ReplyDeleteThat video of you with your cornrows going back exposed your forehead...and it's a nice one. All foreheads aren't created equal, and some have no business exposing their nine-heads....lol
Okay, not a big fan of make up in general (unless it is the natural toned makeup that looks like you aren't wearing make-up, I like a natural look), so I am backing away now lol
ReplyDeleteOk, I've hear of FIVE-heads, but NINE???? DAYUM!!!!
ReplyDeleteLMAO!
Can you hook me up with a Satin Hands set... that stuff works miracles...
ReplyDeleteDo you shine brighter than the sun... lol Im just messing with ya...
ReplyDeleteThat's allowed!!! Sometimes I use lipstick for blush in a pinch!! I don't travel with all my warpaint and tools in my purse..
ReplyDeleteUm, can we say Ghetto-Fab???
ReplyDelete*running and ducking brushes and liners*
Ok, why have I on more than one occassion contemplated selling Mary Kay??? I LOVE the whole beauty consultant thing but the women at those meetings scared the crap outta me. They were sooooo driven and pushy. And getting rid of one of them was like tryna break up with a crazy man.
ReplyDeleteWhen My hair is braided thats probably the most times I would go with a naked forehead... Unless sis is trying something out on me... Seems Im her dummy now... lol Even when I wear my hair back in a pony tail I will have a lil bang...
ReplyDeleteBut thank ya sis... Just wait til I post the new video... You're gonna get a good laugh...Im gonna try and post it tonight..lol
Oh, I loved it! It was like a frikk'n Pep Rally at the meetings sometimes. LOL! I only started selling to get the discount for my own personal use. But, when family and friends started hitting me up for products, and I was getting those big azz checks??? Gurl!!!!
ReplyDeleteThe only reason I stopped is because I got greedy. I wanted the money, but after I had my son, I didn't have the time to devote to making the business work for me. When it began to feel like a second job, I had to let it go. So, I went back to being a client instead of a consultant.
I love makeup, just too lazy to put it on everyday. I don't do heavy makeup such as foundation, I use a bronzer from The Body Shop. I do bronze, golds and coppers, I like to look as natural as possible.
ReplyDeleteThe stuff I can't stand to see:
Blue eyeshadow, lets just let that go already.
Black lip liner, we just cant reiterate that enough.
And Eye brow pencils, many eye shadows can now fill that purpose if you have the right kind of brush. It looks more natural.
People whose lips look like if I walk on them I would fall and bust my ass.

MiniQueen has been watching me put on makeup for quite some time and if I want her to be busy for a few hours, all I gotta do is give her some new kiddie makeup! LMBOOO
A Queen in the making.... LMBOO
Putting on the makeup:
The final results...
Girl, hush! If I can show MY forehead then you are good to go. Tyra ain't got nothing on my five head and I will pull my hair back in a hot second with no worries.
ReplyDeleteIt does, doesn't it??
ReplyDeleteButterah, note the word "former". Reading is Fundamental, Punkin.
*running a dam gin*
I think you fine sistahs dont need it... But my mom always said that if you start wearing it and do it for so long its like you have to keep it up... I love my aunt to death... but every time I see her without it, she looks weird to me... like what happened to your face... lol
ReplyDeleteMan... you lucky I like you... lol Cuz it was gonna be to the .... ummmm
ReplyDeleteHey, what sounds tough to say? lmaooooooooo
CTFU!!!!!!! Bless yo 'tardid heart! LOL!!!!
ReplyDeleteYou're cute Sis...and sometimes I think it fits the person... and how your wear your hair and all that stuff... I think Im just self-conscious about a lot of shit...
ReplyDeleteI like wearing my hair pulled back tight and I know I have a big head/forehead.
ReplyDeleteThanks Red! I have waaaay more stuff I could be self conscious about other than my forehead if I was gonna be self conscious. LOL Plus, I think that tight bang from the sponge roller as a kid threw me off on bangs for life.
ReplyDeleteSidenote: How do y'all post the pics in your comments? I haven't been able to figure that out.
Sidesidenote: MiniQueen is doing very good for a youngun. She can teach some grown folks about application.
I upload my photos to my photobucket.com account and attach the html code to the message...
ReplyDelete...or you can use Imageshack
ReplyDeleteMine are on Flikr and if you click size above the pic, it will give you the codes.
ReplyDeleteAh ha. I knew it couldn't be as easy as copy and paste.
ReplyDeletelol, it is, you copy and past the code! LMBOOO
ReplyDeleteCool. I went to my Flickr account and now I see what you were talking about. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteCoooooooooooooooooool, lets see whatcha gonna post!
ReplyDeleteMy five head! LOL
ReplyDeleteI always like coming on Mo's blog. I learn neat stuff!
ReplyDeleteCute! Now we need to see somebody post a pic of a NINE head they were talking about. LMAO!
ReplyDeleteI wanna see a NINE-head too. LMAO Where is DeShanna?????
ReplyDeleteHere ya go. LOL
ReplyDeleteThat ain't no five-head, Flyy!!!! You look darn good
ReplyDeleteYou, too, Sistah!!!
Queenie your forehead totally fits your face shape. Too cute!
ReplyDeletePlease dont say that to loud... Mo might hear you... I dont want her to think she's helping the world,... it might go to her head and then she'll start charging us for all this advice... and then it wont be FREE no more...
ReplyDeleteWhat used to be free in coming over here... is now gone be $1 to enter the room... then .25 cent per comment... and you mofo's love to comment so you know thats gone rack up after a while... And you know Mo is a shoe whore so we aint trying to furnish her habit... So keep the MO comments on the low... lmao
Yeah, but I can never find a CHUUUCH hat! *sniffles* One size fits all doesn't fit my big ole watermelon! LMBOOO
ReplyDeleteI thought I was the only one with that problem. LOL I stick to baseball caps with the adjustable back!
ReplyDeleteHmmmm... I wonder if she'd let us run a tab?
ReplyDeleteWho? MO...
ReplyDeleteHELL NAWWWW!
You were talking about Ms Mo, Right? lmaoooooooo
Mo's a business woman. She could get PAID running a comments on credit operation. LMAO
ReplyDeleteI found a fitted hat that fit yesterday (and it was a Negro League Hat which made it better) and I was ecstatic LOL. All this head and all this hair, let's just say hat shopping has been interesting for me these last few years LOL
ReplyDeleteMan, that hat thing, is something else, even trying to find a nice, cute, girlie winter hat is a chore! I usually have to resort to a mans hat, which is NOT ladylike!
ReplyDeleteSomehow I think she might start overcharging and shit... talking about the gas prices went up and what that got to do with the internet... lol
ReplyDeleteI dont know about Mo...
***howling***
ReplyDelete***hollering**** LMAO
ReplyDeleteRed, youssssssssssssss a nut! And I say that with sooooooooooo much love!
ReplyDeleteI have that T-Zone (oily forehead & nose) thing going on & when I wear foundation I have to blot every so often to keep from looking that way.
ReplyDeleteI don't wear anything everyday, primarily because I'm always late & there's no one in my office I need to be cute for so I pass.
I will get dolled up when I'm feeling superfine or have a new outfit to show off. Other than that, it's just plain ole me.
Hopefully this will work:
I have the T-zone thingy going on, too. Here's what works for me: apply your oil-free moisturizer ONLY to your t-zone and allow it time to absorb and dry before applying foundation. Your "regular" skin needs the regular stuff, so use the regular moisturizer (prefereably hydrating) over the rest of your face and neck.
ReplyDeleteFolks were talking about liquid foundation 'streaking' earlier. The thing that works for me is blending it in the palm of my hand with my moisturizer. It goes on a lot more smoothly and you don't run the risk of applying too much, getting that caked-on corpse look.
My thoughts exactly. One of my coworkers comes to work everyday dressed to the nines and all made up. She asked me why I don't dress up and wear make up to work. I ain't tryna impress nan one of those heffas there. And although I do work with the public, I'm not trying to impress any of them either. I come to do my work and I go home. Plus, the men that come through there are the worst. Just last week this man TOLD ME that he was looking at my butt when I went to the printer. Who TELLS somebody something like that? There is no need for me to primp and get cute to encourage crap like that. No thanks. I'll just stick to my lip gloss, slacks and a top.
ReplyDeleteJoin the club. I hate that but what I find works the best (when I'm at work) is copy paper...LOL I take a sheet of that and blot my face and surprisingly soaks up all of the oil and my face is just as matte as it wants to be, even better than the blotting papers. The only thing that comes the closest to the matte look is maybe Japanese rice paper but I have a hard time finding that. My grandmother & great-grandmother (RIP) used to swear by those.
ReplyDeleteI have used copy paper! LOL I usually keep paper towels handy. I bought blotter sheets once & they are just too expensive.
ReplyDeleteI just use a plain old kleenex...I'm not buying those blotting tissues thangs..seems like a waste.
ReplyDeleteBaby doll gets a pass! She is just doing her thang ain't she?!
ReplyDeleteYes ma'aaam, she is in the bathroom now doing her thang, can't wait to see what is gonna surface this time!
ReplyDeleteKleenex seem to leave lint that's why I opt for those office issued paper towels. The blotters are a total waste. I keep the lil packet I have for my bougee events. Can't go the power room & pull a sheet of Bounty outta my clutch! LOL
ReplyDeleteThe brown/beige funny colored cheap ones in the ladies' room blot better than the reg white ones...lol. The blotting papers in the drug stores like clean & clear or Biore are like $4 - $6 off sale and don't get me started on the MAC blotting papers for $10 which don't do as good a job as I'd like it to for the price.
ReplyDeleteOoooooooh, you got the pic to post!! Your foundation looks very even.
ReplyDeleteAwww she is just too precious. A Queen in the makings indeed! Your babygirl is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThat's for the help! That's actually a clean face.....no makeup at all.
ReplyDeleteThaaaaaaaaaaaaaank you. I don't know why it is the blue shadow makes it on her eyebrows! ****HOWLING**** She is running around here now with blue eyebrows!
ReplyDeleteWell dayum Ms. Mo, my bad. You have some really pretty skin!
I was just getting ready to type that. The skin gods passed me over...LOL
ReplyDeleteThis is the "made up" me:
ReplyDeleteThat was a good day! I never had problems with breakouts until about 2 years ago. This adult on-set acne is some ole bull......
ReplyDeleteThat's a very natural looking "made up" face!! Now, THAT'S how it's done!!!
ReplyDeleteWell damn Mo, you don't need makeup! You really can't tell the difference except for the lipstick!
ReplyDeleteYou ain't never lied! They work fine & you see all that excess oil.
ReplyDeletePlease dont get me going on adult acne. It seems puberty has never ended for me. I tried that Proactiv stuff and it don't work!!! Right now I'm using Avon's acne wash and acne control lotion, and it's seems to be working just a little bit. I also use Mary Kay's microdermabrasion...and it, too, is just OK for me... I've tried putting toothpaste on them to reduce the size of the pimple..anybody got some other tricks?
ReplyDeleteGirl, you better work that makeup-hand. I can't even tell the difference. Work that, work that!
ReplyDeleteThanks Kels! I always try to self photograph when I put it on to be sure I see what I think I see.
ReplyDeleteI've been battling the acne-monster since my teens. What I've been using lately is really working quite well. Clean & Clear has an entire "acne-fighting" line. I get it from CVS and it's not too expensive.
ReplyDeleteThanks sis! I still have to practice because I've made some mistakes trying new stuff, like this pasty/ashy mishap:
ReplyDeleteMO... can I ask you why your smile never changes on any of your pics... I mean the smile crease and everything is the same... Is that real or like did you get that botox injection or something... cuz you know black folks aint supposed to do that...
ReplyDeletelmaooooooooooooo im just messing with you Mo.... please dont delete me... I promise to do right...
using the infamous *snickers*
You is ignant!!! ROFLMAO Mo does have that million dollar smile.
ReplyDeleteI know... I think Im jealous lol
ReplyDeleteYou fool!! I can always depend on my Gigi to make me laugh!!
ReplyDeleteI guess I could never be a model since I have one smile, huh. It's always been broad (aka toothy). Some of my friends tease me about seeing every tooth in my head when I smile.
I haven't botoxed yet, but let the record reflect, I'm not against it.
Hey, aint nothing wrong with having a signature about yourself... I would have to say its your smile... So smile on and brighten up the world... I almost thought I saw a gleam... lol
ReplyDeleteDoes that even work... Cuz I might try that when I get home... I dont get them as bad as I used to do... But I find that I do more so when i change my soap... So I try to stick to the same thing instead of pickin up whats on sale...
ReplyDeleteOk, am I crazy or does anyone else see a resemblance between this crazy chick and my sister (also a crazy chick)?
ReplyDeleteI know!!!!!...she be blinding us with all those toofuses!!! LOL
ReplyDeleteI've THOUGHT about botox for that line that creases in the middle of my forehead when I have a worried look on my face......but I'm afraid I may come out looking like Priscilla Presley and her amazing non movable face!!! LOL
Is your mom or dads name Charles or Evan? hmmmmm lol
ReplyDeleteNope, all Johnson, Gibbs and Pippins.
ReplyDeleteBlack don't crack GAL!
ReplyDeleteI dont think I would ever be able to do that,,,, Do you know how long I been struggling to get up and go get a second earring hole in my ears... lol
ReplyDeleteYes it does.... I've seen it...lol
ReplyDeleteI hear you loud & clear Queen. I've always battled acne as well. It's gotten better as an adult but now I just have the acne scars and dark marks to deal with as well as large pores. Occasionally I break out with a huge bump or two but for the most part it's chilled out. Only thing I use now is Ivory soap and/or Noxema which seems to be ok thus far. I have a lethal combination of oily / acne-prone / sensitive skin and can only use limited products.
ReplyDeleteThat is what I deal with. My pores are the worst. Anybody have any tips for large pores?
ReplyDeleteThere is DEFINITELY a resemblance there.
ReplyDeletedang sis... you got a lotta action goin on over there... Ever since the little bald head baby has been around.. lol Ive been buying the ivory for myself as well... and I can see a bit of a difference..... But most of mine used to come around that special time of the month... but thats slowing down as well...
ReplyDelete@ Flyy... if i told you I part my hair on the left side as well when I put my hair in a ponytail... would that be just to weird for you... lol
ReplyDeleteThe thing is, that's just the best picture I have of her. It was 6 years ago. Now, she wears her hair just like yours is on your picture, it's just a little longer. Dangit, why can't I get her look straight in the camera some time so I can get a good frontal picture???? In looking for this picture I notice all my pictures of her are from the side or something. My family is good at dodging pictures.
ReplyDeleteI use Palmers coco butter soap to even out my complexion as well as the Palmers coco butter oil. It does wonders for me. I have a combo dry/oily skin. Mostly oily in my nose area, but thankfully, I left zits in adolescence.
ReplyDeleteI think this lil bit of Irish blood I have is gonna work against me! LOL
ReplyDeleteYou can say THAT again!
ReplyDeleteLucky you. *rolling my eyes*
ReplyDeleteLMAO!
What is that I see under your left eye... is that a crack I see...
ReplyDeleteDont hit me... cuz you know this is no violence thursday...
Dam the rules you make up as you go, Girlie!!!!
ReplyDelete*throwing 10-yr-old Fashion Fair compacts at'cho azz*
lol... you know I got a graphic for everything... if Mo ever blocked her HTML over here.. I may have to cut her off as friends... lmaooo
ReplyDelete*holding out collection plate*
ReplyDeleteC'mon y'all. Help me get this chile some help...
Please, family...let's do our level best. (WTH does that mean anyway, and why do the old deacons ALWAYS say that???)
Here's my quarter! LMBOOO
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sistah! Butterah, does this mean I have to go "back" to Meh-hee-ko???
ReplyDeleteNo, we need to send Red's ass back though! LOL
ReplyDeleteOh, I can agree with you there. Dat chile is tetched!
ReplyDeleteThis is some good stuff! Thanks everybody!!
ReplyDeleteWe need to strap Red to a damn chair & let MiniMe go to work on her ass!
ReplyDeletelmaoooooooooooo.... Im gone get you...
ReplyDelete*****HOWWWWWWWLING*****
ReplyDeletewhat is howling.... i see that all the time... but i dont know if i really know how to howl...
ReplyDeleteIt's is more intense than LOL, LMAO, ROTFLMAO, or HOLLERING, it means you just straight howled in laughter!
ReplyDeleteI was at work when you posted this. HEFFA!
ReplyDeleteI have found the best makeup for me was Mary Kay's. But I only do it for special occasions. Normally I just have lipgloss or chapstick on for everyday. I have a lot of dark marks on my face, which I hate. I have an oily Tzone, and then its dry around my mouth and cheeks. How crazy is that??
ReplyDeleteWhen I do wear make up, I wear a coverup for the dark spots, and a nice foundation that blends well and looks natural. Maybe a little eyeshadow, lip liner, and then lip gloss. That's it.
I hate seeing badly drawn in eyebrows. And can you believe some people STILL line their lips in black? Unreal!
****waiting on tips for large pores****
ReplyDeleteI love make up but I rarely wear it...
**waiting right next to Sugah**
ReplyDeleteSame here. I tend to scar badly. Once I came off the pill, this acne mess started. I'm tempted to go back on the damn pill for this reason.
ReplyDeleteWhen I had the chicken pox, Ambi help removed the scarring from my face. It took a few months, but it worked. I don't know why I didn't think of this until now. *going to get me some Ambi*
Proactiv is good for oily and t-zone skin. If you have dry skin, do not use Proactiv.
ooOoOoOh I am the reincarnation of Joan Crawford.... I LOVE my pencilled in brows and willl NOT give them up (late as hell to this thread....lol)
ReplyDeleteThere's a bunch of divas in my office... and every time I wear some makeup (which is about once a month these days) they ask me if I have a date or something **scowling**
ReplyDeleteJust curious - do you remove them purposely or are they just thin?
ReplyDeleteCTFU @ Joan Crawford comment!! Now I'll think of you everytime I see a damn wire hanger!!
Ain't that the truth?!?! I hate that. I'm like, damn, just because I'm dolled up doesn't mean I'm on the prowl.
ReplyDeleteI don't take them off completely - there's enough up there to stand alone, but to me my face is "anchored" when I've got some brows. I pencil less when I'm only wearing the basics (liner/mascara/blush/lip gloss) than I do when I'm glammed to hell and gone. (I'm far less skilled than some of your other "panelists" though)
ReplyDeletetwo more posts....
ReplyDeleteHere's one of me glammed to death (hopefully it won't be too big)
By comparison - here's me wearing virtually no makeup (but I'm WWWWWWWWAY tan here ... but the BROWS, man... gotta have my brows. The key is never to do them too DARK. (my opinion anyway)
ReplyDeleteGood Grief Silky! Could you have made the pic bigger? LMBOOO Your brows look GOOD! They fit the curve in your face and eyes. You need to give lessons!
ReplyDelete?
Her makeup is fly too. I wish I could blend like that!! So jealous *pouts*
ReplyDeleteI love that pixie hair do.
ReplyDeleteI remember being a young woman ( in my twenties) and wear lipstick to dark ( dark plum).
ReplyDeleteI look back and wonder WTH was i think ?
Ms. Silkee! That is a beautiful close up!! there is no earthly way I would take a picture that close... and with no make up??? you get too close, you'd fall into these sinkholes I call pores... LOL
ReplyDelete
