i like makeup.
i do.
i can appreciate several days of not wearing it, but after a while, i NEED to put it on so i can feel like myself again.
i like wearing it.
a day when i put on makeup usually means i have somewhere to go and people to see.
Mary Kay sent me a box of goodies to try and i was so excited.
they sent the NEW TimeWise Repair Volu-Firm Eye Renewal Cream.
let's be honest…who doesn't need a little extra help in their eye area?
we all get tired, we are aging, and this refreshes the skin around the eyes and feels silky!
it even has a cool applicator shaped for the eyes.
also in my box was a Mini Compact with eye shadows and blush.
there are even little tiny brushes hidden under the makeup so everything you need is in one place.
they sent lip gloss in three colors.
i am partial to the shade CafÈ Au Lait…just enough color and all the shiny sparkle.
my favorite makeup essential is mascara.
i don't feel like i am done until i put on mascara.
they sent me Ultimate Mascara in black and Lash love Waterproof Mascara in black.
i almost always have to wear the waterproof…because i cry so easily.
just this week i was reading at my son's basketball game and i had to put my book away because i couldn't keep the tears in. So…waterproof mascara is the best bet for me.
but i love the Ultimate! it looks lovely on my lashes.
they also sent Lash Primer.
i had never even heard of Lash Primer…but now i love it.
it gives my mascara more volume and keeps my lashes curled longer.
my most favorite product Mary Kay makes is the TimeWise Microderabrasion Set.
this set makes my face feel AWESOME.
i am not kidding.
i use these two products all year round.
"wash your face every morning and evening" is the best makeup advice i ever recieved.
and i follow it 100%.
unless i fall asleep watching a movie or something…

LAMusing - My best beauty tip is to emphasize your lips OR your eyes – not both. It will keep you from looking over made up. So soft barely tinted lips with a dramatic eye, or a bold lipstick and just a hint of definition on the eyes.

Jill - Drink lots of water and smile! I have trouble with the water part 🙂
Carol S. - Probably best tip is lipstick, my go to beauty item. Just began a skin regime on this 50-year old face in the past two weeks…clean, moisturize, bleach cream for sun spots, then retin A. Why didn’t I start something decades ago, when I thought lipstick alone did the trick, lol?

Jenna@CallHerHappy - https://twitter.com/callherhappy/status/279790337302618112

tiffany gardner - NEVER leave home without lipstick!!
Cortney - Wow! Lots of good beauty advice here. I follow most of the ones mentioned here, and have to be shot with a tranquilizer to stop me from washing my face at night. I love makeup, and use almost all exclusively MK. I really have yet to find a product I don’t like. But….the one of their best products is the eyeprimer. It really works wonders. I think good beauty advice it to not be afraid to try something new. Many women get stuck in a beauty rut. A new color, a new technique, whatever. Go for it.

Annette - Pretty is as pretty does!

Kim - Moisturize & never go to bed with your make-up on.
Kimberly - Stay hydrated inside and out!
Lori - Pat with your ring finger to do any eye-work (creams/concealer, etc). It’s the weakest finger, so there is less tugging, thus fewer wrinkles:)

kellie - YAY! apply moisturizer to your neck too, or your face will look amazing when you’re old, and your neck will look, well… old. 🙂
Melissa - Mine was also wash your face every morning and evening….and I fail at it big time!!!
kristina - I always put on moisturizer!
Katie Jones - The best beauty secret I know came from my Memaw. She wore make up til the day she died at age 84 just last year. Always put effort into it. Weather you have Mary Kay make up or some from the $ store, put effort into it. Take your time apply it evenly, and take time on your eyes and lipstick and it will show. And always apply a fresh coat of lipstick right before your Man gets home from work. He will appreciate it!! I loved my Memaw she taught me everything I know about make up. 🙂

Tracy - Wear sunscreen!!
Amy - Best beauty tip: sounds weird, but i heard a famous hairstylist once say that all women’s faces appear much thinner with their hair pulled back. i know everyone thinks hair down is pretty, but his statement is so true for me!
AJ - 1. Smile!
2. Look people in the eye when speaking w/them!
A great attitude makes a face shine!
TiffanyB - Love Mary Kay! The best beauty tip I was ever given is to always have lipstick and mascara with you – these are the two items that are needed if you can’t put “your whole face on”. True.
Alisa - When putting foundation on your face,
always put alittle on your neck too,
so they are both the same color
and blend well so there is no line! 🙂
Dena - Use Mary Kay’s eye makeup remover……. it’s awesome!
That’s my tip!
Brady - My favorite beauty tip was to put your makeup on, then spray some hairspray and walk through it so it falls on your face. Helps makeup stay on MUCH longer 🙂
Peg - Use sunscreen and smile
Peg - Wear sunscreen and smile.
Ashley - The same as you… don’t go to bed with your makeup on! In 28 years I’ve only let it happen two or three times!
Amanda S. - Don’t forget to moisturize!

Rachel - I have a couple that I’ve learned.
#1 – Use eye shadow primer. I always had trouble with keeping my eye shadow and liner on and then I found the beauty of primer potion and now it stays!!
#2 – Sometimes less really is more. Tone it down and not only will people notice but they will comment that you look beautiful and what did you change with your makeup because it looks good.
#3 – I really do like mascara. It’s not a have to, just like I often go without makeup, but when I do use it, I like it. I like it more than I thought did or I thought I would. (Now I just need to find the perfect mascara for me.)
Linda B - Drink enough water. It is amazing how much better your skin looks when you are not dehydrated!
Lydia - Like you, I don’t like to leave the house without my mascara, but I’ve recently learned to appreciate my blush a little more. It makes you look awake and healthy, plus, if you get a great shade for your skin, you can use it as eyeshadow or pat it on top of chapstick for natural-but-better lips!
Lisa - Washing my face regularly is the best advice I’ve received. Especially with working out and being sweaty! Sometimes I’m really bad though and don’t follow this and end up breaking out! 😉

I try to have a beautiful spirit because then my blue eyes sparkle and my smile is genuine. I do love makeup and always use it in moderation. I LOVE my eye brow gel. I never knew about such a product until a few years ago. It keeps my crazy eyebrow hairs in check all day. I use Mally’s eyebrow gel from QVC. Thank you for the chance to win something!

Jody - Be comfortable in your own skin.
Nicole B. - You should apply your make up so that it looks as if you are not wearing any 🙂
Cory - The greatest beauty tip I have gotten over the years has been to keep your face clean, especially at night. It solves a lot of skin problems just to do that. Also… wear lipgloss when ever you go out, even if you don’t have on other makeup. It brightens your face… 😉

Juli Elgin - If you take the little brushes out of the bottom you can fit the face powder in there perfectly and then just get a little set of travel brushes. That is my whole makeup routine right there plus foundation, lipstick and mascara. Love the compact little size.

melissa ann - I can think of two great beauty tips:
1) SMILE – everyone looks better when they smile. 🙂

Adrienne - To. Use sunscreen!!
Kate - Well, besides sunscreen and washing nightly…a lady at a Clinique counter once showed me how to brush my brows up and trim them just a bit. I’ve been doing it ever since. Also, ironically, I’m going to a Mary Kay brunch party on Saturday. I’m glad to have read your thoughts first!
