a lot of make-up or natural?

I used to wear a ton of makeup. I was also addicted to tanning. When I met my husband, he told me I wore too much makeup, it was up to me, but he said I was beautiful with a lot, a little or no makeup. We've been together 3 years and he still tells me every day that I'm beautiful

I've since stopped tanning (my skin looks much better) and I only wear mascara and burts bees lip balm. I feel much better about my skin and I feel clean all day long

People tell me all the time I look younger then I am. I'm going to be 31 in July. I bought cigarettes (for my husband, I stoped smoking as well) the other day and GOT CARDED!! I was so happy. The clerk at the store aplogized for carding me

It is possible to wear makeup by Natural Cosmetics yet still keep your face looking very natural. Makeup applied with the goal of sustaining a natural look enhances your features, hides imperfections, and gives you an awake and healthy glow.

On my face, tiny dabs of concealer if needed, and a sweep of powder blush.The whole thing should take no more than five minutes.If I had to choose between makeup or NO makeup entirely, I'd choose none. Better too little than too much!

I think you are onto something there! I love to look like I am wearing nothing at all but I am finding it harder and harder to pull it off and I know that I am not alone here.

There are some really great tips and tricks to using make up that very few but the professionals and the make up obsessed know of that we all should be taking heed of. One big one is the use of primers. I had never even heard of the stuff until a few years back but after experimenting with a few (which I CONTINUE to do) I have found that they can give you a natural look without looking like you have been transformed by an extra layer of make up.
