More Beauty tips

My friend Denise liked my AquaNet endorsement so much she asked for more tips, so here goes....
I got an e-mail today with photos of Hollywood actresses caught without makeup. You know, side-by-side photos showing how they really look compared to how they look after a session in the makeup chair. It got me to thinking about my own use of makeup. I came of age in the late 1960's to early 1970's, and it was all about the "natural" look, so I used very little makeup on my face. I was also lucky that I had good skin and didn't need much coverup. My basic makeup session consists of a little eye shadow (generally browns or greens, some purple on occasion), matching eyeliner, and brown-black mascara for the eyes. I put a bit of cover stick under my eyes to help decrease the look of puffiness, then a bit of liquid foundation and blush. That's it. Oh, and lipstick, generally pink or mauve, sometimes a brighter clear red depending on where I'm going. I am a fanatic about washing my face before going to bed. I once read an article about Lena Horne, who had great skin and looked fantastic well into her '80's and she said she always washed her face with "whatever was in the soap dish". I'm not quite that casual...I use a good facial cleanser. My current favorite is Saint Ives Green Tea face wash. It is gentle and smells great. I also use a good moisturizer day and night. You don't have to spend a fortune to take care of your skin!
