Foundation!

Lip gloss for me!

Mac Studio Fix pressed powder! That stuff covers a multitude of “sins”!

For sure…mascara…and a little eyeliner too.

I don’t know…I don’t wear too much makeup ( I figure if I did then when I’m old I’ll hate myself for wearing too much when I was young ) So I do Aveda pressed powder and concealer, eyeliner, eyelash curler and some gloss. Nothing like looking like myself…only better.

I have 2 that are tied… Great lash mascara & laura mercier lipgloss in opal!

I swear I am not vain, but I refuse to leave the house with out some concealer. I have dark circles and I always feel naked with out my concealer. My second must have is my mascara because I have tiny stick straight lashes and they are invisible with out my mascara!

Wow… I’d have to say my concealer,but with my concealer AND a lip gloss/stain I can go anywhere with confidence.

Mascara!
Almay has this mineral lights one that does not flake.. at all. I’ve even slept in it and no flakes.

M.A.C. used to have this creme pen that worked as a primer to hold onto eyeshadow.. Used mine all up and can’t find more…

I like my Almay blush.. if it’s all I have on.. I look fresh.

I cannot live without eye concealer. I love Estee Lauder Double Wear. It covers dark circles & has SPF 10. I have been using it for years. It is a wonderful product!! Emily, I love your blog!! The topics are great.

I have hyperpigmentation from acne scaring, so the one makeup item I never let people see me without is concealer (although foundation is the second item). I could be face to face with someone with just concealer on if I absolutely had no time to put any other makeup on, but it’s not the most ideal situation.

I never leave the house without my concealer and foundation (plus primer and setting powder if I’m going to be out and about a lot so I make sure my makeup stays put all day long).

But I’m a makeup junkie, so really, it’s hard to chose one beauty item for any question. I need it ALL

I could not live without my lash extentions! I never wear mascara any more. I swim, shower and always come out looking like I have mascara on. It changed my life and I just love them!

i’m a mascara girl too. i feel asleep without it. a shower and mascara are my must-haves in the morning.

i just discovered your blog tonight and love it. you’ve got a new reader!

My Bare Esscentuals Bronzer. I need the extra sun kissed glow.

Philosophy’s skincare products are my best friend! I don’t where much makeup… but I had to sing their praises

I don’t mind going bare faced here and there, but I always smooth on some tinted moisturizer with SPF before leaving the bathroom. This is a great question!

Concealer with out a doubt! Brightens up my face and keeps me looking rested when most likely I’m not! Haa!

Absolutely, without a doubt, mascara. It is my desert island must have.

definitely do not like to be seen without MASCARA! I already feel like my eyes look tired and lost and so being without mascara is not a good thing!

Chapstick!!!!! Most days, I just wear my tinted moisturizer and leave it at that, but when I’m feeling very ambitious I wear mascara.

My Bare Minerals powder definitely! Otherwise my skin color does not appear even and that drives me crazy!

Honestly…I don’t leave the house without full makeup and you will rarely even find me at home without it. It’s just my routine and habit…shower, brush teeth, then makeup.

bare minerals and mascara…for sure!

I have two…mascara and powder. I refuse to leave the house without them on…seriously.

I seem to go thru spurts of wearing no makeup and then spurts of wearing it every day- but if it was one thing i can not be out of it would have to be my mascara and my KaraVita Antioxidants

Chapstick – it must be organic though. I’m currently loving Doc Bronner’s because it feels so wonderful on my lips.

I have to wear mascara, without it i hear to many comments about how pale i look or ” Oh you must be sick” lol.

maybe that comes with light complexion.lol

Bare Minerals for sure!!! If I just have a little bit of time, I am happy to just have that. I do love mascara, though!!

Tinted moisturizer is great!!!

The best thing that I ever did was to get eyelash extentions. They look totally natural and I never have to wear mascara. I shower and swim and no eye make up thanks to the eyelash extentions. Best invention ever!!!

Eyeliner!!

Love reading all the comments.
Mascara & eyeliner definitely! It’s too hard to choose one. I’m a MAC fan! Zoomlash mascara, Eyeliner called “engraved” and definitely the studio fix stuff!

I’m a mascara girl as well. It’s usually the only make-up I wear (when I wear make-up).

my husband doesn’t even like to see me without mascara. my eyelashes are so short and light that sometimes i feel like even mascara doesn’t help that much. i will have to give the rimmel a try… if that doesn’t do it, maybe i need that new prescription stuff that can turn your eyes brown!

I cannot live without red lip tint, gloss by benefit. It’s so fantastic! and has SPF 15! I put it on and instantly look put together- whether coming back from a long run, standing at the bus stop or going to dinner.

You can get it at Sephora….Benetint Lip Balm SPF 15
What it is:
A rose tinted lip balm

What it does:
Pop this ruby gem in your bag for soft rosy lips anytime, anywhere. Created from Benefit’s legendary Benetint, this blend of Vitamin E, sunscreen and light rose-petal fragrance protects and delicately tints lips.

I never wear makeup – the last time (and only time other than school plays when I was younger) was at my wedding 12 years ago! But I would NEVER leave the house or be seen in public without lipstick on! Ever. But funnily enough, I gravitate towards brown and nude shades so with my brown skin, it looks like I don’t have lipstick on! Still better than the no-lipstick look though

A little eye pencil otherwise my eyes disappear.

lipstick….with sunglasses and you’re good to go!
