I think most girls learn to use make-up rather early in life (I know my mother loved introducing my sister and I to her collection). Either girls get hooked and become experts in applying liquid eyeliner (a skill I have yet to acquire), or they just think of lipstick as part of dress-up and not part of their regular routine. Growing up, I was definitely in the latter group. I wore it to school dances, and that was about it. My sister, on the other hand, wears make-up every day, always looking fresh and sparkly. In college, I started to wear it a little more, and even now, I'll admit that I really only wear make-up on the weekends, dates, or special events for work. But every time I 'put on my face,' I am always amazed at the difference it makes. And I'm not talking about full-coverage foundation, lip-liner, and false eye lashes. Even just putting on mascara or freshening my cheeks with some blush instantly brightens my face. I feel transformed just with some eyeliner and lipstick. I think make-up is something women shouldn't skimp on: wear a little bit every day, and every time you look in the mirror, you'll want to smile (even more broadly than usual. You should always smile in the mirror!).
Here are some of my favorite make-up items:
Urban Decay eyeliner
Maybelline's Great Lash mascara
And pretty much anything from CoverGirl.
