I was running errands today and went to the drugstore to pick up a few things (not makeup..lol). As I was approaching the register, the young woman behind the counter exclaimed, "Oh my God, I love your makeup!". I, of course, thanked her (more than once), as the only person who compliments my makeup is my husband.
As an almost 50 year old woman, this was such a shock and a pleasant surprise! Especially from a young woman in her twenties.
I don't do "clean girl". I do full face glam, but tone it down for daily wear. The girl in question was wearing a bare face (or what appeared to be bare) with just lash extensions.
I guess the younger generation appreciates the "old" esthetic.
We are BACK bitches! 😁
Obviously, this post is in jest and everyone regardless of age and generation should wear what they like and feel comfortable with. I just wanted to share my happy experience today.
EDIT: A few people have asked for a picture of my look and/or a product list. I don't think this sub allows pictures, and I'm not one to post myself on the internet. However, I am happy to share the makeup I use.
Foundation: IT Cosmetics CC Cream
Concealer: IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Under Eye (upper and lower lids), Cover Girl Clean Invisible Concealer (on redness and facial spots).
Powders: IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Pores (to set upper and lower lids), Clinique Blended Face Powder in Invisible (to set rest of the face).
Eyeshadow: Too Faced Born This Way Nudes palette. I use the shades towards the left side of the palette (I'm pale) to create a modified cut crease. A shimmer shade is a must in the inner third of my lid, up to the crease, to add brightness and glitter!
Bronzer/Contour: The Balm Bahama Mama
Blush: The Balm Desert and Clinique Cheek Pop in Black Honey
Highlight: I use Sterling Minerals Foundation for a matte highlight under the eyes, under cheekbones, center on my forehead, and down my nose. I also use it to clean up my eyeshadow and contour.I use the shades Bianca and Jennifer.
Lips: Burt's Bees lipgloss in the squeeze tube. I tried to find the shade online, but I don't think they make this product anymore. I've had it for a minute...lol. It's a watermelon shade.
I also use Burt's Bees tinted lip balm in Red Dahlia often. I need MOISTURE as my lips get dry!
I have pale, neutral olive skin that leans slightly warm. Green eyes and dyed/bleached blonde hair.
I hope this helps!
