I'm too tired to do a real post tonight, so here's a silly poll:

For special occasions, I add eyeshadow and lipstick. I wear make-up to work so I look like a professional and get taken more seriously. It started as trying to be sure I looked like a girl the last time I cut my hair short a couple of years ago (before that I was a no make-up kind of girl 95% of the time), but has sort of stuck as a work-day habit. On weekends I only wear it if we're Going Out.

I use Bare Escentuals, so my foundation IS powder. Foundation, blush (they call it "Warmth"), and a finishing powder (they call it the "Mineral Veil"). I wear it mostly just to even things out and keep my face from getting too oily, though it also helps bring some color to my pale face and keeps me from looking less like a corpse. I also wear lipgloss/lipstick for color and moisture, though there's been an awful lot of kissing in my life over the past few months, so it doesn't stay on for very long. ;) Special occasions call for more dramatic lipstick, which I can only get away with at night. And I just this week started trying out mascara again, and while I generally think that eye makeup looks very silly behind glasses, I like the definition the mascara gives to my eyes.

I don't use makeup ever.

My foundation is also powder - The Supernatural by Philosophy. It is also my sunscreen... the powder means that it doesn't burn my face. :) I wear gloss for moisture. Can't wear mascara because then my eyelashes hit the inside of my glasses.

I wear eyeshadow and lipstick when we go out.

I said "other" for the special occasions one because special occasions are the only times I wear makeup these days. I think I look better with it, since my skin is not so great, but I just never feel like I have the energy or interest.
