I remember the day my mom told me I was old enough to wear makeup. I was so excited that I immediately went out and bought Maybelline eye shadow, lipstick and blush. At the age of 16, I thought it was the greatest makeup ever. It was about the time I graduated college that I decided to graduate into the higher end cosmetics.
With so many great brands to choose from, my girlfriend and I decided to go to the mall and get our free make up demos. We found that Smashbox cosmetics had some fun products like the eye shadow trios and baked starburst bronzers. We also liked the shimmery lip gloss and blush that Bobbi Brown cosmetics created.
Now that I'm older, I find myself purchasing makeup based on how well it helps me conceal my age rather than how it looks. I recently started using Clarins and feel that their extra-firming foundation works really well.

2. I love Lorac sparkle eyeliner and sephora house brand lipsticks (so creamy)
I buy all products online through an online shopping mall and I have been saving between 5-55% on my
purchases at over 1100 stores online including Bare
Necessities, Sephora, Apple, The Gap, Target (great for soo much),
Macy's. I also wait for sales so I get my cash back and the lowest
price

3. I love Orgasm Blush by Nars. It is very natural looking. When I was heavier in my teens I used to wear a ton of makeup. Nothing hid being fat and eating poorly. I now in my 30's drink a lot of water (best thing for your skin) wear a generic broad spectrum sunscreen, avoid a ton of salt in the evening and trying to get exercise
whenever I can. I wear smartsole insoles http://www.smartsole.com to
increase the calories I burn with every step. It also tones
muscles. I also try to wear a pedometer to keep track of miles and
try to do 10,000 steps every day.

7. I wore Mary Kay for 18 years before becoming a Sales Director and the biggest factor for me committing my professional life to this company was the amazing benefit that the products actually do what the are advertised to do for a super reasonable price.
Plus, having someone to be your personal beauty shopper, keeping you current and trendy at no additional cost, speaks volumes of Mary Kay Customer Service. Find a local consultant near you at www.marykay.com.
