A lady with a love for words and all things bright, sweet and wonderful.
I love wearing a pink lippy. It’s a must have for me.
My MUST have makeup item is my Maybelline concealer stick, with some little broken capillaries on my cheek this covers them no worries. I then use my Mineral Powder and I feel flawless!
mascara…. opens my eyes and makes them sparkle, if i dont wear it i look like i havent slept for a week..
Lip gloss – my lips need moisture and I love a little colour.
My must have is blush to create a rosy, healthy glow, and if I haven’t got any handy……..I pinch my cheeks for a makeshift must have 🙂
I need my foundation….I love having the look of flawless skin and if my sin looks good I an g without the rest! I LIKE ELES ON FB!
Lip gloss sealed with a kiss…Keep It Simple Sharon
FACIAL PRIMER – covers the blotches and evens my skin tone. Leaves your skin feeling silky soft and provides the perfect base for foundation to just glide on. It makes me feel more attractive, lovable, kissable. Hubby loves me ‘primed’.
I would say eyeliner because you can do so much, they do say the eyes are the windows to the soul so make those peepers pop girl!!
A bright girly pink lippie, that I can double up as a cream blush in a pinch. A pretty lippie can brighten any day!
i love pink lippie ,makes me feel like a girl again.
foundation that has anti wrinkle cream in to help make me look younger at work so feel more confident at work
most definitely my primer, to cover all those undesirable little marks
Blush. In a makeup crisis a single blush can take you a long way. it can be used as a blush as intended but can also be used as an eyeshadow and applied to the lips to add some colour also. What a bargain product.
Definitely foundation and face powder is a must in my make up bag. I feel I need to cover up my imperfections daily. Unfortunately I lack self confidence resulting not even been able to walk to the letterbox with out make up on. This has been the case since I started high school in 1982 and now I am 43 🙁
Definitely Mascara but it has to be waterproof so when I get caught out in the rain, I know it won’t smudge or run down my face. It’s the product that I can rely on to at least make my face look made up if I haven’t got other products on. Mascara makes me feel dressed.
Ravishing red lipstick because I love my lips to make a statement and look bold and sexy.
black mascara is a must have in my collection, even when I want to go out with no makeup, I always put this on to enhance my eyes.
Red lipstick, makes a defining statement, enhances my eyes, moisturizes and protects my lips, my husband loves it ooh la la, making me feel confident and sassy:)
My mascara is always a must when leaving the house without it I feel like a zombie with sunken dull eyes
Love a good BB cream for coverage and skin nourishing all in one!
It would have to be mascara and pink lippy it helps my face pop!
I get my glow on by wearing tinted moisturiser,it’s light and gives me a great coverage.
Adding a bit of cheeky colour and making me look fresh, a touch of blush 🙂
My must have makeup item is my pink lipstick that always puts a smile on my face and makes me feel bright and cheerful, all day, every day!
Concealer. As perfect as I like to think I am, I’m not….so concealer helps hide the flaws and give off the image of perfection! Be lost without it.
As I live on the coast, I use sunscreen on my face so bronzer is my must have to give my face a sunkissed glow!
My Revlon “Grow Luscious Mascara”, gives me celebrity status confidence with a ‘Flutter of the eyes’
A lipstick that gives a touch of colour to my lips (and cheeks) is my summer essential, and keeps me feeling chic
Powder to help control my shine and eye liner
Good coverage foundation. Might sound boring, but you need a great base for the rest of the art to go on.
Mascara – i need to colour in my stumpy lashes and make them visible once more.
Lip gloss is essential for me as I have a scar on my lip that needs to be covered up otherwise everybody seems to think it’s a cold sore!
Powder, it takes away the oiliness and makes my makeup last all day
A stick concealer with pinpoint accuracy for confidence building touch ups and it fits into even the tiniest handbag!
I definitely love my mascara, makes such a difference to my eyes, opens them up and makes them look clearer. And I love that it takes me 2 seconds to produce that effect.
I have a baby who doesn’t like to sleep at night; so a good concealer is essential to cover up the bags under my eyes and stop me from looking as zombielike as I feel. That, or matchsticks but I guess they arent really a makeup item……
A pressed powder 🙂 I use this for all over colour, a face framer, a cheek contour and as a eye shadow. So a very versatile product for me. Honestly couldn’t live without one 🙂
My mascara. Opens my eyes and gives them definition!!
A bronzer is a must have item for me…. I don’t want to age my skin any further by tanning in the sun, and a bronzer gives my skin some much needed colour and glow, plus it also doubles as a blush as well as it can be used as an eyeshadow, and when used wet with an eyeliner brush, it can be used as a eyeliner as well – a true multitasking wonder product!
Eyeliner – it opens my eyes up and makes them pop!
I love my mascara to bring out my eyes and love wearing purples and green eye shadows.
I never go anywhere without my lipstick or lip balm. We are always eating and drinking so we need to touch up..:)

I don’t have much time, I am often late
But there’s one product I simply adore
I apply it each day before I rush out the door
Mascara, to lengthen lashes and make my stand out
My favourite make-up product, without a doubt!!
I must have either foundation or BBcream with sunscreen in it to not only have great looking skin but to protect my skin from those terrible UV rays.
Without my make-up on I look so pale and uninteresting nobody looks twice at me.

My must have is a good BB cream. A foundation and sunscreen all in one.
I have several favourites, but must admit my most favouite is a blusher for my cheeks, my must use
A lightly tinted lip balm is a must for me. I have quite thin lips so I don’t like to go too bright . . the light glossy tint keeps my lips moisturised and makes them look a little plumper 🙂
At a bare minimum, a bit of lippie always does wonders.
A BB cream – covers up and moisturises at the same time!
Red lipstick is my fave go-to product of all time,
it brightens the face and you look in your prime.
I never leave home without at least two lipsticks in my bag, with Queensland’s unpredictable weather its always good to have something to keep my lips moist, and keep me looking fabulous.

My foundation! “natural” works for some people, but unfortunately I’m not one of them and I benefit from the extra help that my foundation gives me!

I love a natural look and as the years go by I seem to be using more and more products to achieve this! A good base is essential for me so I will say a great moisturising foundation makes me feel a million bucks and years younger.
Nivea – fruity shine in pink guava It moisturises as well adds a little colour and shine to my lips in this hot weather.
I jus love a good bold lipstick, that lasts through the day. It makes be feel beautiful and empowered.
My ‘must have’ is clear lip gloss, whether I’m out & about during the day or partying the night away! By itself gives me a natural look or over lippy to add that shine.
I can’t live with out my liquid eyeliner, essential for rockabilly eye-flicks!

Mineral Foundation – best thing for summer because its light and simple. No one wants heavy make up in summer.

Foundation is my make-up essential! It smooths everything out and creates a perfect base for additional make-up applications, or just a nice simple even skin tone.

Plus they are super affordable and easy to pop in the handbag for touch me ups throughout the day! Perfect for long hot Perth summers!

When the summer heat becomes unbearable sometimes a sheer BB cream is all that I want or need.

I’m so enjoying the advent of BB creams. Foundation used to be a chore for me, one that resulted in dark patches, uneven application, lines, streaks, you name it. But all my sins are erased with BB creams. They even forgive me for bleary-eyed, uncoordinated way-too-early mornings.
Most definitely my compact powder male up, it hides so many imperfections, as well as tell-tale signs of lack of sleep, stress and tired skin! My lifesaver!
