Hi Terri.

My favorite makeup is by fare Bare Essentials.  It is made completely out of minerals and it's in a powder form so it looks very natural and gives you healthy looking skin.  They have everything foundation, blush, mascara, eyeliner, eyeshadow, lipstick and gloss, and everything else in between.  They also have a product called Mineral Veil which is a sheer translucent powder that you put on after the rest of your makeup and it gives you a very smooth complexion.  They sell Bare Essentials at Sephora and at the Bare Essentioals store (however, there aren't man of these).  You can also purchase it online at www.bareessentials.com.  It may appear a bit pricey at first at about $20-$25 dolloars a thing but it will last you anywhere from 4-6 months.  I highly recommend them.

Talk to ya later.

Hey terri,

   I don't have a certain brand of makeup that I use, But i do use certain colors.

from experimenting i've learned that blue does NOT look good on me or really on anyone with blue eyes, of course there's always exceptions!  I use all brown makeup. brown eye shadow, eye liner, adn mascara.  At first i thought it would make my eyes to dark for my skin, but i actually really like it. So that's what i would try i think it'll look great!

Terri,

I have been wearing make up forsix or seven years, and I havee always used Clinique. They have been the only brand to offer anything light enough without washing me out, and they are hypoallagenic so it doesn't bother sensitive skin or cause breakouts. I usually go to Dillards to purchase my stuff,but they can be found in most any department store. Best of luck!!!

I just shopped for make up today lol like someone else stated I dont use a particulair brand just certain colors. for my foundation and powder I use and Ivory which i usually buy cover girl for that and then i use a brownish black mascara (from my experience black is just tooo much) as far as eye shadows go like they said blues realy dont work i too use alot of browns and light pinks. It is alot of trial and error. I dont usually wear lipstick but when i do its either again a brown or a light pink. as far as eye liner goes I am not skilled enough to put it on myself but on the rare occasions that i wear i use a brown for that as well again I found black is just wayyyyyy to much. Hope this helps

God Bless

I wear the lightest foundation they have, but always test it on your skin. Some brands make my skin orange.

 For blush I also wear the lightest pink. But again, be sure to test it on your hands...some are darker than you want, and some are light.

Hi,  I'm not a teen, but an older woman.  I just came into this forum to see what's there.

As far as makeup goes, and I've been using it for a very long time, I tend to go for the "cool" tones, mainly the lightest.  Many of the makeups today are coded for warm, cool, or neutral.  Makeup tends to want to turn orange on me, so I stick with cool tones.  Blue's ok depending on the shade, like a blue grey or something like that.

As for foundation, I use L'oreal true match, and I use C1 (c for cool) and I'll use powder of C1 and then blush of either a C or N (neutral). 

I don't usually use too much on my eyes, because of allergies.  I'll end up crying all day.

OK, hope that is helpful.
