Makeup

[leothelioness]

I'm surprised by how much makeup costs. I went to Ulta with my girl and she spent a small fortune on makeup. I don't know why that stuff in the bottle they put all over their face is that pricy. She got some eye shadow pack with a bunch of colors, it was about $55.

She got the Naked palette didn't she?

Men really don't know how expensive it is to be a woman. I had to dial it back because I added up how much I was spending on all my products and it totaled over $400.

Also what kind of blush do you girls use? Do you use anything more than blush (like contouring, bronze, etc)?

Do you like powders or cream?

I love Nars blush, but I can't say the shade name because it's slightly inappropriate. Lol

I've tried cream blush, but much prefer powder as my skin is extremely oily and and cream doesn't last a split second.

Edit: This is the shade I use.

I wouldn't want to be a woman. They go through too much pain.

Which is why y'all should appreciate us more. Lol

I only wear makeup for special occations. So I haven't spent any money on it.
I bought some nail polish for $6 a few years ago though.
I've noticed skin care products are all around $16 per bottle which is expensive I think, but oh well.
But lotions, and such like that don't really count as makeup.
I do like mascara though... I actually might have bought some before.
Any makeup I bought as a kid doesnt count.
For those of you who wear makeup every day do you wear everything or just a few things? (For example I'm not generally comfortable with skin makeup but I like mascara and lip color.)

I have a blush color that is raved about as being universally flattering, and yet on my skin it sort of makes me look like Ronald McDonald's daughter. The color is called [bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse] (haha) and it's by NARS. It's a joyful peachy-pink that really does look beautiful on almost everyone else.

Ah, yeah, I've heard a lot of people mention that. Haven't tried it myself yet.

If I'm just running errands or something, I do BB cream, a bit of powder concealer, blush, and lip gloss. In those cases, I'm really only trying to hide the red blotchiness and make myself look awake.

I honestly rarely wear blush. I just usually use a lip gloss or lipstick, and some eyeshadow IF I even wear makeup at all.

I like makeup in theory. I like to see other women wearing it, haha. I like watching tutorials and all the creativity that comes out of it, but honestly I just can't be bothered :\ Maybeeee if I worked, or maybe had like a really millennial related job where it was alright to experiment with your makeup and not get shamed for it, I would do it more.

My favorite makeup is Too Faced- works well AND comes in adorable boxes and scents I have White Chocolate and Peach.

Haha I love "bless her heart" and "talk derby to me"

Wow. You girls know makeup. Yes, she got that palette. Just 1 cost that much. She's got 3 or 4 of them. Like I told her, if she really wants a naked look on her eyes she can save her money and just let not put anything on them, so they'll be naked. She bought it anyways, lol.

I can't even imagine spending $400 on products. I use a 3-in-1 soap, shampoo, conditioner. It costs about $3, and works just great. The only real money I spend is on quality razors and aftershave.

I don't wear Cologne. I fear someone recognizes it and thinks I can afford such luxury. Besides it gets in the way of natural pheromones.

 

[ImAllLikeOkWaitWat]

it gets in the way of natural pheromones.

Like?

 

[redblue22]

Like?

Give me a clue as to what you're asking

Some men wear makeup too. More than one would think. But again I'm not one of them. For slightly different reasons.

I don't know why we do it to ourselves, but yeah, we have to look good and all.

And I'm over here like "Oops, haven't shaved yet this week."

Being a man in that regard is so simple. Some days I wish I was one.

If you marry a girl who is into makeup that will be part of the budget.

Which is fair up until a point.

I've been told by several different women when the issue about guys wearing makeup comes up that men would look better with a little bit of makeup (not talking about drag or anything, but done correctly to accent their features and stuff).
