I don't even know how to put make-up on myself. When I was growing up I was never much into to make-up, and all of that girly stuff. I played sports and work, not really caring what I looked like. I got made fun of alot so I didn't think anybody care about me or what Iooked like. So I just want without learning. I wish I would have thought differently about now. Not acceptable?
I used to work in a cosmetic department and did learn to wear red lipstick. I don't wear it very often, but here's a tip I learned for toning it down a bit. Apply the red (and there are lots of different reds-blue based and yellow based) and then apply a gold colored lipstick over the top of it. The gold works wonders for making the red look good.

Now that's a great tip! Know any other goodies? like, is blush really necessary or is that just to make my cheeks puffier? Not acceptable?

You're a hoot! That reminds me of a conversation I had with a friend once. We were back at work after summer break and everyone was comparing tans. I said to her "I don't tan I brown" and I showed her how much browner my arms were than my back. She then laughed and said "Well I don't tan I just burn" and showed me her very red back. She actually told me she has to use baby sunblock because she is so fair skinned. Now I wonder if there is anyone who actually wears red lipstick and looks good in it.

LOL, that reminds me of my best friend in High school.She's a Michelle too....she always browned and I always burned. We were glued at the hip and they always got our last names mixed up. We actually fooled a new teacher and told her we were twins.Only difference was the last name. (Now mind you, She's African American and I'm Italian)We called each other's mom,mom of course. They always introduced us together as their daughters too. Poor thing actually asked in the teacher's lounge if we were related! I'm a brat you know? Not acceptable?

I would only wear red when I have a tan, it does make my lips pop. I do take several steps when applying any lip color, just to make it stay longer and not *run*. As for now I use a nude color lipstick. I am trying to tone it down a bit lol Not acceptable?
LOL, we MUST be related. I always joke about being whiter than my white socks...but I really am that fair skinned!

I dont do red...on my lips anyway! LOL, but, when I wear lipstick seems like everyone notices.....what's going on? Why are you wearing makeup? Am I supposed to dress fancy for this? Mom, can I wear jeans? Lip liner, oooh just discovered it and LOVE it....it can make a pout look poutier and boy oh boy xrated thoughts hit hubby's mind almost instantly!!! Some days I do it just to get his attention "QUICKLY"....LOL....it can make a man jump through hoops ladies...and shhhh dont tell, I've been doing it a lot lately :)

I don't do red but I do love to fancy myself up with a good liner and splash of color! You are so right about the hubby! The moment the lipstick goes on the light in his eyes changes- LOL I have to say though if I am heading out to the grocery store or on errands I mostly just wear chapstick. Not acceptable?
You may not realize it when it happens, but a kick in the teeth may be the best thing in the world for you
