Color Me Beautiful


At Last, a make up that does not make me feel like a painted doll. Even at age 27 my skin is delicate,really fair and easily irritated. I started wearing make up only occasionally starting at 13. I found it felt icky. I would wear it for my husband, but itd feel like a mask. I do have china doll features, my eyes are pale green ringed with gray, my lashes and eyebrows are black, my hair,which reaches my bum ,bright copper red and curly. So trying to find colors was a bitch.

I have what is called a warm completion and cool eyes. These were the words of Avon and Mary Kay representatives.Avon and Mary Kay make up feels just as heavy and greasy at 28.00 dollars for eyeshadow as the 6.00 dollar cover girl from Target. Ick .Enter bare minerals. Pricey, yes. But check eBay. =) Great deals. I was given a 'Autumn' colors set that is perfect for me. Green/Gold/chestnut eye shadows,Bronze lip gloss and a earthy rose blush. Its perfect for me. Or any redhead if you ask me.

They make concealers,foundations,blushes,lipsticks,mineral veil(A kinda of locking base or finisher)mascara, and rare minerals- liquid clear mineral smoothing primers. Fills in pores for a smooth clear finish for your skin,before you apply foundation. I'd reccomend these products for all ages. Finally, I can feel pretty while wearing make up, instead of just wanting to scrub off the drying,cakey greasy mess. ;)
