Quiet Man Cometh
We're all mad here.

I have about the same amount of make-up as you do, Ginger. I hardly ever do anything, but then, I'm also the type that can't be bothered to do more than brush her hair before heading out. I got rid of the spontaneous make-up purchases that I had a a teen girl (not many) and the stuff I was gifted except for what my sister gave to me when I graduated highschool. Her grad gift to me was a modest bag of make-up: 3 shades of eyeshadow, light to dark; white eyeshadow for highlights, lip gloss, concealer, and a small pack of disposable brushes. According to her, that's all one really needs for day to day stuff and all that she expected me to do. As the other part of the gift she showed me how to put it on.
Most of the make-up I have is in the bronze/gold to pink range because, as much as I want to fight it, baby pink is my colour. Appart from the basic three my sister gave me for layering, I have some gold glittery eyeshadow and some shimmery lip colour to go with ("Midnight Cowboy" and "Shotgun" respectively. I love make-up names :D) and a small container of pink glitter. That's about as exciting as I get, minus the stuff that I buy for art projects.
Brand-wise both my sister and go with whatever has the colour we want, though I check in with my sister a lot as she is a make-up and special effects artist. At school she used MAC which she still has a lot of, amd Ben Nye was apparently a big name for costume and film make-up (things like burn pallates and what-not). I recognize the name Hard Candy, and both she and I like the colours by Urban Decay. Naturally, I don't buy a lot of make-up because I can't justify the cost. A lip colour from Urban Decay can run $15.
All my stuff is fairly old. The only thing I'm carefull about is mascara because bad mascara can cause serious issues for your eyes so I always make sure mine is not older than a year. I have no isses with it but I only tap the lashes lightly with the wand and don't go all the way down to my eyelid. I also use brown instead of black because I'm fair and black sticks out too much.
