Yes, I Wear Makeup And I Have Freckles Like Most Redheads

Truth be told, I really don’t have THAT many freckles because I stay out of the sun and I have the tiny freckles instead of the big dark freckles so you can’t see them very easily. So the few tiny freckles that are on my face are faded and easy to hide with a little foundation. I always think this is LUCKY ME! Ha!

So often people ask me what kind of make up I use because:

1. I’m very pale/fair and it is hard to match skin with makeup when you’re this pale/fair.
2. My skin is somewhat translucent, so you can see through it and yet the makeup hides blemishes without having to cake it on thick.
3. My makeup is very natural looking.
4. I don’t wear much makeup and yet the colors are even.
5. The makeup coordinates with my complexion and hair.
6. None of the makeup affects my grain allergy.

When I posted a new avatar picture on my Facebook LIKE page, the first comment posted was “Do you use make up?” I figured, that although most men would find the details of this post rather boring, I could always refer to it in the future when someone asks me what kind of makeup I use!

Okay, maybe I’m writing this post mostly for the selfish reason of being able to answer people quickly with a reference list without having to repeat myself. A girl has got to do what a girl has got to do!

Let me begin by saying that I don’t want to FEEL like I’m wearing makeup, so ALL the products used are VERY lightweight and allow my face to breathe. They are not put on thick like Spackling Paste and that’s why the makeup looks so natural.

The list below will tell you the following information about the makeup products I use on my face:

• The name of the company that makes the product.
• The name of the product.
• The color of the product.
• A link to the product on the company’s website.
• Any special reason that I use this makeup instead of another brand or product.

Points To Ponder

The secret to using this makeup is:

• Use moisturizer on your face first.
• BLEND the makeup carefully.
• Apply the makeup in a thin layer.
• All the makeup is noncomedogenic (not tending to clog pores)
• Always wash your makeup off at night.

So there you have a list of all the makeup I use each day. Yes, each day. I put my makeup on everyday and I DO NOT leave home without it. I think I look washed out and too pale without makeup. Think about it…my eyelashes are practically clear and my skin is like an albino.

Ladies, I hope you found this post helpful and at least a little interesting.
