i don't think of making myself something i'm not with makeup...rather more of what i am. my lashes are very pale, so i make them stand out a bit and frame my eye, to make it pop. same with eyeliner, i use it to darken the edges of my eyes so they don't just get lost in the rest of my face. i use eyeshadow to enhance the color of my eye. i use a brand of mineral makeup made for the young and funky. the colors i use are very pale, nearly white...with a sheen of color you can see in the light. beautiful! they add flash, they add an illusion of color to my otherwise wolfish grey eyes. a little foundation to correct the variations in shade on my face, to reduce the redness. and the barest hint of color on my lips...to enhance the natural tint, make my lips look full, just a bit darker....like i've just been kissed to with in an inch of my life. *smiles* used with a light hand and an eye to enhance, not recreate, makeup can be a wonderful thing!
