I wear make-up every time that I leave my house. I don't -need- it, but it's a comfort thing to me. It's a little mask that I can put on, shielding me from the harsh reality of the world. With that mask, I appear at ease and confident in all situations, even if it's far from what I actually feel. The amount of make-up I wear really depends on where I'm going.
I don't have any primers or brushes or anything, I don't do my make-up in a technical way like you should. I use my fingers and keep a stack of wet wipes handy so I can clean as I go. I'm also not a brand-whore. I surf on E-Bay to get deals on make up. Brands I would recommend, however, would be Mac, Rimmel and No. 7. I recently got a pallet of 100 different Mac eye shadows for £10. That's usually the cost of one, so to say I was delighted is an understatement.
Eyeliner is the main make up that I wear. I like to accentuate my eyes as I feel they're my best feature. I use black Rimmel liquid eyeliner for everyday wear. Though I also have some glitter ones (just cheap brands) in liquid form, one of those eyeliner pens (sort of like a little felt tip, but I don't like that much. It's easier to use, but it's too light) and some pencils in various colours. I like liquid eyeliners best because they go on smoothest and have the best colour.
Lip gloss, it depends on my mood. Sometimes I'll use lip stain if I want a dramatic effect (again, Rimmel). If I'm going out, I'll wear red lipstick (No. 7) because it goes well with my lip studs (I have snakebites) and red is generally quite a good colour for me. For bog standard everyday wear, I'll just put on a lip gloss. I have a load of different ones, so it just depends on what I'm wearing and what catches my eye most.
Eye shadow is something I have a lot of, but rarely wear. I only ear it if I'm going out. I love to experiment with it though, so when I'm bored I'll often sit and play around with new looks. Like I said previously, Mac eyeshadow is what I use, and I would definitely recommend it.
I wear mascara all the time too. My favourite one is called Glam Eyes, it makes my lashes look longest. Though to get that "fake lash" effect, I usually put on about three coats.
I never wear blusher, but if I have spots I'll put on foundation to cover them up. In general, I rarely wear that though. The foundation I have is rimmel liquid foundation. It comes in a little bottle. It's pretty expensive, but for the quality it is worth it. However, if I used it everyday, I probably wouldn't buy it due to the cost. I also struggle to get foundation as my skin is so pale.
Perfume is another thing I have quite a lot of. My favourite perfume is So Kiss Me, but I only have a little of that left, so I wear it on nights out. For every day wear I shake it up between Calvin Kline Euphoria, Britney Spears Dark Fantasy, Lady Million and Diesel.
