Anymore, I usually either do full-on make-up or no make-up, but always moisturizer, sunscreen product, eye cream.
Full-on is, heh, well, oil-control lotion (yes, over forty and still teenage levels of oil), primer, foundation (powder, creme-to-powder, or liquid depending), blush (glaze or powder, depending), eye-liner, eye shadow, mascara, brow pencil. Fifty percent of the time I use lip liner. Then, either lipstick or tinted lip balm with... yes, SPF. Colors vary. Usually takes five minutes. Ah, the benefit of years of practice.
I pretty much wear make-up unless I'm doing minimal human interaction. But there was a time in my life when I would not leave my dwelling for ANYTHING without full hair and make-up. Good lord, I'm so glad I'm past that. I mean, I love wearing make-up, and I do it. I just know now that I can go out without make-up and hair, and my world will not end and no one will point and laugh. Probably.

I haven't worn makeup in 20 years.
The Latisse talk vaguely terrifies me. Because this is seriously the first time I have ever heard of this shit. In the couple of years since I stopped watching tv commercials, I've become some kind of hippie Rip van Winkle who a) is walking around with totally faily eyelashes and thus once again fucking up at being a girl and b) holy fuck the whole make billions on vanity drugs thing has gotten that bad?
And that reminds me, I want to start using concealer again on the red, little spider-veins (?) on the sides of my nose. They annoy the crap out of me. Does anyone else notice? Unlikely. But I do.
And neck
Oh, dear lord, my neck. I am so recommitting to my nighttime goo. For my neck. Today I got all freaked out it was showing not just my age, but ALL OF THE AGE.

I just looked at it. Not brown enough for me. Heh. Our taste in lips is almost farce by this point.
Really, I just wear Pencil of the Beast and Del Rio. I need to accept that shopping for new lip colors is just not happening for me.

Eeee! Oh, that's adorable.

"Get an eye-perm, hippy!"
I pretty much just put a bit of powder on my screwy eyebrows along with some lipstick that Perkins, Cashmere and Amy helped me pick out in a Vegas Sephora.
I iz lazy.

Bunny!

Kinda. I mean, I was given the tube that I have but I tried it out and, vainly, I liked the results. I'd *pay* because I felt so much better not wanting to claw my eyes out but I admit I liked the lashes.
