since my life revolves around how close i can get to 1920s, the small set of my makeup items consists of mainly red, black and brown. i think now that my Venus being trined by all the planets in Aries, i'm a bit more refined with my looks lately.

i use a brown eyeliner and smudge it around the eyes, touch up my eyebrows if i want a more sophisticated look, put red paste on my cheeks and wear deep red lipstick for a little cupid's bow look. then i wear mascara. i usually water wave my hair too, though my hair is very hard to wave. i try. in the summer, since my skin is sensitive to the sun i have to wear sun-screen. and i hate how sticky i get so i also have to put powder on too.

then i put on my quaint drop-waste dress and a hat, and i'm done to go out! i almost never go out without at least the eye makeup on. i always look perfectly "arranged", according to my friends. that bit is probably my Saturn in Virgo trining my Sun.

Perfume is more important than makeup for me. I am always, always wearing it.

how do I do my makeup?

well I start with eyeliner, i usually don't wear black, but either navy or soft black or charcoal grey eyeliner

then i spread a well matching foundation evenly over my entire face (i prefer a natural or a natural matte finish, i have combination/sensitive skin)

then i apply blush (or bronzer, whatever you call it)

then I apply mascara

then I apply lipstick, i usually like to stick to soft colors that aren't too bright, muted terracotta reds are nice, im usually never wearing a true red unless its Estee Lauder double wear lipstick (now those are really red!), i like a lot of Elizabeth Arden's lipsticks also (very nice natural colors that go well with my blush

Im a virgo rising with venus in sagittarius

I took a modeling course and learned how to put on my make-up and when I put it on I still look great - well that's what others say.

I still have my bags of make-up but I figure now it's kids play stuff. My oldest girl is slowly coming to a phase where she might be wanting to wear make-up.

What's your rising and Venus sign? And anything else you find important.

Stumbled on this topic, decided to bump it up to contribute.

Well I'm an Aquarius Rising, Venus in Leo.

I'm torn between loving make up and hating it. I'm a Libra therefore I adore creating beautiful things, turning my face into a work of art. But the Aquarian in me like's to go bare and natural. I actually didn't start wearing any makeup at all until my last year of high school, one of my older sisters used to like to do my make up for fun.

To work and when I leave the house if I'm not in my Aquarian mood of wanting to go bare, which is every other day, I wear black eyeliner on the upper lid and black mascara and nothing else but clear lip balm . It has become my staple.

Edit: I do like eyeliner, but only in thick pencils which usually are best for giving eye shadows. I guess I'm peculiar about eyeliners. I also don't like them easily on others (only certain types; most people use too much I think). Weird, eh?

useally when I do more noticable make up like that to work, the kids at latchkey usealy say "why is that one your face?" well only one kid does that or "I like that!"

so a 2nd gradder asked me about it. and then she said "just promise me you'll never wear teal lipstick like Ke$ha or I'll scream"
haha, then I told her I liked Ke$ha, and then she started screaming. lololololol

I was Ke$ha at a Halloween party last night.
I wore a crazy blonde wig, put eye primmer on my eyelids...and placed green glitter on them from lash line to under my brows. Then some obnoxiously winged out eye liner. Some black eye shadow to smudge my liner a bit.

And I had BLUE lips! I used light blue liquid liner to outline my lips and fill them in. Then some blue eye shadow powder over it,then some blue glitter goopy body glitter over it.

I first started wearing it in the 7th grade, at age 12, which was when I was allowed to start wearing it to school. The catch was – I had to buy it myself. I did little odd jobs for my grandmother and aunts and uncles to get $5 here and there, I usually got about $10 a week.

The first thing I remember wearing was Kissing Koolers lip gloss by Maybelline. It had barely any pigment but it left a nice gloss. My favorite was Very Berry because it was pink and purple. Kissing Potion (Cherry) was also a favorite but it was too sticky, they have really improved on the lip gloss formula. The lips were nothing compared to my eyes…

Since I didn’t have much money but I insisted on wearing a full face of make-up (almost), I had to buy my eye makeup from the discount or “value” stores. This was the early 90s so the colors that were popular were very bright so the colors that were in the dollar stores of those days were even brighter! I usually stuck with the dark stuff though, like royal blue and grape purple eyeshadow. My favorite was a green on green on green combo – forest green eyeshadow and Wet and Wild liner and Kelly green mascara! A classmate even asked me “Are you wearing green mascara?” even though she was being snide I liked standing out, it didn’t bother me.

I didn’t like lipstick and I still don’t really. Although they had some mood lipstick in the discount store once so I bought a green one and a blue one. The blue would turn a lovely Pepto pink and the green would turn into a bright fuchsia, no matter what mood I was in. I decided to wear the green to my second day at a new school in 7th grade. A guy friend (a Scorpio)that I had known since 1st grade was at this school too and he took me aside and said “you shouldn’t wear that lipstick because it makes you look like a s!ut , and you are not a s!ut ”! LOL! I threw that junk out right away, but I had a Caboodle full of other inappropriate colors. Over time it got toned down, I could actually afford the good, mainstream colors. In high school I just did my eyes and wore Blistex Liptone instead of lipstick (I always hated lipstick). So I had these enormous raccoon eyes (now called “smoky eyes”) and pale lips, I was ahead of my time. I just wanted to look older because I had been told my entire life that I “look so young” and I have “such a baby face”. Blech. (I also wore lots of Malibu Musk and Tribe!)

Now at 32, I want to look as innocent as I possibly can! In my 20s I wore make-up just to check the mail now I only do a daytime face (lighter eyes) for work and a nighttime face (darker eyes) for going out. I try to experiment with different shadow colors, like plums and aquas for night but I have heavy lidded eyes so it doesn’t look as good as I’d like it to. So although my make-up drawer is full of stuff I would love to wear I stick with my two shade of brown shadow (MAC Omega and Espresso), Maybelline Great Lash mascara (Very Black, curved brush), dark brown eyeliner and either Cover Girl Lipslicks in Hipster or L’oreal Infallible lip gloss in Truffle. I don’t wear blush that often because my cheekbones are very high and prominent so I don’t need it. Plus a year ago I started wearing Bare Minerals foundation (Medium Tan, lol). It all actually looks better faded, when I come home after work. I wish I could do it all fade-y to begin with but it never works! I have always had great application skills though. I remember my friend wanted me to give her a tutorial but I didn’t, it is a secret between me and my mom, who taught me (I knew that Moon conjunct Pluto was good for something!). Oh and nail polish in any and every shade of pink. OPI Not So Bora-Bora-ing Pink is my absolute favorite though. Does fragrance count also? I wear any kind of body spray in the vanilla-oriental-sweet family for day to day and used to wear Pink Sugar for special occasions but I have upgraded to Angel by Thierry Mugler…

my signature colors are black & grey, and sometimes dark purple/plum.

Since I'm 21 I don't do too much of that moistening stuff...but I put hand lotion on my face after a shower sometimes. They say it's good to start that stuff while your young....so I try to do little things like that sometimes.

cool Niki, I think I've tried every eye shadow color except for red.

I did did take a orange/coral/brick red lip liner...and use it as eye liner...my mom was like like "oh Kerry, your make up...You look like a vampire..." lmao
