[OT] Makeup
 

I'm one of those women who just never "got" makeup. Once a good long
while, I might put on a bit of lipstick, a little rouge and some eye
shadow. But I basically preferred to go nekkid most of the time, and
so have no clue about makeup and its wonders.

Now that I'm 50, I'm thinking "Hmmm, maybe I should try a little of
this stuff." But, as I said, I am clueless.

Anybody out there know of any good websites that explain makeup with
tips etc.? I tried Googling, but found very little for some reason.
I'm looking for something that both has good step-by-step instructions
and good photos as well.

Thanks for any suggestions!

I recommend Catnip's "Putting on Makeup with Mommy" for starters. ;)

Watch your local department stores to see when one might have a make-up
specialist doing "make-overs" - or make an appointment with one of the
salesgirls if there won't be a specialist there for a while. They can show
you how to apply make-up best suited to your face and features. But *DON'T*
get talked into buying any of the high priced items - there have been many
studies done that found that high priced department store make-up is no
better than the drug store variety, but they cost about 10 times as much.

LOL - only if you like a bit of blood mixed into your make-up!

Many cosmetic counters can put makeup on you for free. Of course they kind
of expect
you to buy somthing from them.

I totally agree w/suggestions so far! You have to get your "nervy" revved up
bigtime to nod, smile, and ignore the sales pitch you get for every product
demonstrator will put on your face....but I can personally advise
lower-priced
(usually) items would be a lipgloss (one, not a packaged group) or a bar of
cleansing soap (individual bar, not a packaged group). Open up your mouth
and *ask* prices before you buy anything. If demonstrator is really
obnoxious,
I've never failed w/insistence on "trying" *anything* I do buy, w/o adding
more
products then and there, because of severe "allergies" - no matter what
their
products claims to be allergy-free, etc. There is NO "comeback" for
customers'
possible allergic reactions except the lame one, "our products are certified
allergy-free"......me: "certified by whom? And are they gonna pay my
allergist
and hospital ER bill? I don't *think* so!" all said w/a big smile, while
snaking
out your credit card for the small item you do buy.....

Suggestion: Whatever you try, remember the saying "less is more".
Way back in the 1920s, I had an aunt who traveled for Richard Hudnut
Company as a beauty representative. The idea was to put on makeup to
look like you did not have makeup on.

I hope someone gives a link, because i"m anohter of those clueless women who
needs several goes just to get the lipstick to look *even* let alone
actually *nice*!

The only time my make-up has ever looked good was on my wedding, but I
didn't put it on. Most of the time, I avoid the stuff like the plague - I
usually feel itchy, uncomfortable and very self concious in it.

*delurk* find a merle Norman store, make an appointment and take notes, buy
little unless you really like it, then you will have the basics, and can go
from there, also look up different brands on google and you will find tips
on their sites, and last go to a larger department store, like Famous Barr,
fields or Macys and see if any of their counters offer classes, Lee,
