There is no makeup line that will do that. It is all in the application.

Tips for looking younger: don't try the young stuff, dark, super colorful, weird liners! Do not use frosted shadows if you have even tiny crows feet. The frost and metallics enhance the lines!

Try a "dewy" look, not matte. Go as natural as possible and don't fall to sleep with your make up on, especially mascara. It makes your lashes fall out.

Use a facial regimen; cleanser, toner, day and night cream and a good eye cream. Avon has whole sets (Anew) that are affordable.

MAC is too expensive for my taste and runs toward the young look too. I would suggest the more classic and neutral colors available in a line like Estee Lauder, Avon, Clinique... Bare minerals were good for me, until about 10 years ago, now they make me look like I'm wearing chalk.

There's really no suggestion that can be made without a consultation. Any department store will sell you anything you ask for, even if it makes you look like a clown. Go into a place (Ulta, Sephora, Macy's...) where you can play with samples OR call an Avon or Mary Kay lady and tell her to bring her sample case. You have to design a skin care program based on your skin health.

I use Anew (Avon) foundation and products. (I am not a rep...) I am 52 and pulling off 5 years younger. I'm happy with that.

Happy makeup hunting.

I like Bare Minerals the best/nm - jbmt

I've been using Bare Minerals........ - Lane

But after the primer I've gotten to where I don't care for it. I went from using a panstick make up to using BM and don't feel I get the coverage I use to. Might just be me, need more time to get use to it, or maybe I'm doing it wrong. I'm old.......takes me a while to catch on sometimes. lol

I've thought abouty trying bare minerals, but I wonder if I'll get the coverage - I need?

I have a lot of freckles and I use Revelon Color Stay and it covers great and lasts all day, but it's very heavy and I would like something lighter.

So does it cover well and last long?

I use Physician's Formula and get great coverage - cindy

I have rosacea and have a hard time covering the redness in my cheeks but the mineral pressed powder from Physician's Formula (I get it at Target) is great for covering my rosacea and I feel likeI have nothing on my face. Love it!

If you use a primer underneath it will last all day but with me I've not found that it looks good. I have to mix colors to get the correct color and at times it's just not a good look. Easy though and that's a big plus for when you're in a hurry.

I used to be a MAC-aholic but (sm) - Changed brands

I found the MAC was starting to look somewhat cakey on me even though I have oilier skin. I popped into a Merle Norman Studio and, after being really impressed with their samples, changed my makeup loyalty over to their products. If there's a studio in your area, go there. Their products may seem a tad pricey but they last FOREVER. I switch off, depending on the weather, between their aqua base and their Luxivia Lasting foundation. That lasting foundation they make does. not. budge. AT ALL. It's around $30 for a tube, but the tube lasts me about 3-4 months because it takes so little. One word of advice though, spread it quickly because once it "sets," it's there to stay until you wash it off.

Merle Norman also has the classic colors the poster above mentions, and I'd die without their combo lip pencil/lip liner combos (again, they stay put with no bleeding or feathering and come in a fantastic line of colors).

Their skin care stuff is good, too.

BTW did anyone see that scary looking make-up addict on My Strange Addiction last night? Yegads, I wanted to hold her down and scrub that greasy looking stuff of her face and give her a makeover myself, LOL!

Let's increase the number of HB2 visas from previous years. I do wonder what those workers are paid. Is the real reason that there are not enough workers or is that just the excuse these companies get to use for paying less wages? Maybe if the places like Mar-a Lago would pay a decent wage (no, I'm not talking about $20 an hour), which I am sure they can afford, maybe they would be able to get Americans to work these jobs. ...

The so-called racist Republican justice of the peace who refused to perform an interracial marriage was really a lifelong democrat UNTIL 2008, when he switched parties. He was STILL a DEMOCRAT when he refused to do the ceremony and three other interracial marriages as well. The media ONLY got on this one when they thought they could say this guy was a racist republican. They ignored this story when he was a raaaaacist DEMOCRAT, which he was when he refused to do these ceremonies! How t ...

A couple weeks ago I cooked some ground turkey and added a can of white beans to it and I absolutely loved it but it seemed like lt was missing something. I served it with some brown rice (which I didn't like at all - seemed bland) and I had steamed brocoli on the side. I'd like to do the ground turkey with white beans again, but just seems like something is missing. What would you add to it to make it better? ...

such as cutting living expenses, groceries, quality of life maybe just to work less and enjoy life more. I have been an MT for 18 years and feel like I am wasting precious life and things I really want to do by sitting in this chair from sun up to sun down.

We've been asking the wrong question. My family has a business. We hire people, so according to the current standards, we should not have to pay taxes. We are creating jobs. However, we have not yet reached that magic number. It's higher than most of you think. You have to make more than a million a year, much more than that probably, before you get to stop paying taxes. Before you get to that point, you get to save money in other ways. I paid cash for my house. I pay cash for ...

where's the jobs program to build it? If Mexico pays for it, are they going to be in charge and hire the workers or does the U.S. get the employment boost? Well, I suppose it would be cheaper if they used Mexican workers, but then Americans can't make money off of the Mexican workers...are they ready for that right out of the gate with building the wall? That is what comes next, right? After the "wall" we no longer have a Mexican labor force for Americans to exploit and then we pay ...
