I never wore make-up regularly until I hit my 40s. I wear some sort of sheer foundation/sunscreen everyday. Sometimes just sunscreen with some powder on top. Also a concealer for the redness around my nose. Mascara, too. I don't wear lipstick because it feels weird. I do wear this, though, and love it: [link] Looks good, lasts most of the day, and I can't feel it. Oh, and blush, because Carmindy told me to.

I wear eyeshadow/eyeliner if it's a special event.

Oh yeah, I always wear blush with the foundation.

I think I'd like to wear makeup, but I have no idea where to begin. I have several sets, but all seem weird and uncommunicative to me.

One more thing to wait and see Buffistas in person for.

Unless I'm just running out to pick up milk or whatever, I always wear a little concealer, some very light foundation, translucent powder, a little blush, and mascara at the very least. But if there's time, I'll do a bit of eyeliner or shadow, too.

Oh, and I always have at least a tinted Burt's Bees on. Usually Cocoa or Peony.

for people wanting to moisturize and have sun protection, I recommend Oil of Olay with spf15 - they have a sensitive skin version. My foundation is also SPF of either 10 or 15. Shiseido Powdery Foundation, I highly recommend it for people who do not like liquid foundation, but want more than loose powder.

Yeah, that's what I use too.

I haven't owned makeup at any time this century.

Makeup has expiration date, right? Even the eye-shadows and stuff like that, right?

Yeah but atomic makeup has a half life of about 800 years.

I just went into my little-used paper address book, and it was kind of hilarious how many addresses I had to cross out! For reference, I had a DC address for meara in there.
