Fun idea: Makeup from different places?

[user3]

I live in Central California and while it is still Cali it's full of nude faces. At least for the older woman. The younger girls all seem to be into the overly smoky eye and pale lips.
When I go into the Bay Area and San Fran I see more colors. Plenty of people wearing purples. Of course in San Fran I see all kinds of different makeup!

Overall the main look I see is just e/l, mascara, and pale lips.

As for foundation, I have to say I see more people using the right color now than a few years ago.

Here in Swansea there is a lot of too orange foundation , bronzer and generally very matte looks. Often coupled with clumpy mascara, that said although you do see some nice looks too.

I have to concur with Xiahe,.. here in Indy lots of seriously BADLY done smokey eye looks (Y you will rarely see me wearing one,. I am sick of seeing it- I really do wear the colors you see in my FOTD's) and "old lady" lip colors to go with it,.. aggghh,. its not that there is any one color,.. it seems as though each person manages to find the most "old lady-ish" color for their skin tone? And I am about to start the "Foundation Police" Squad,..I actually felt bad but could not stop myself from stopping and letting a lady at a Department Store Makeup Counter (Not going to say which but not MAC) and telling her that her foundation was completely wrong. I was very polite (Excuse me you have the loveliest skin but that color is just not right for you,....) and she seemed glad I told her,... but it is just sad,.....

I'm still in highschool, and most girls wear black eyeliner that they reapply between every other period in the bathroom or at their lockers, and the same with their black mascara. and fruity flavored lipglosses. faces stay neutral, although many girls around here go tanning weekly so who know's what their true skin color is.

here in missouri, i see too many THICK black eyeliner, unevenly drawn on; foundation three shades too dark, bronzer everywhere....and let's not even get into the elderly ladies with their blue up to the brows and uneven hot pink lipstick..

Usually if you look at alot of the arab women here they go all out with their makeup,and they all do it so well.They look like they are all MAC artists,lol.
Me and my friends are always amazed at some of the arabic teachers in my school who have such amazing makeup and outfits EVERYDAY,lol.

hahahs both things are so true!!! in spain NOBODY wears makeup, and if they do it's barely noticeable, sometimes i feel so stupid wearing green eyeshadow LOL but i feel pretty so it's all good! many people compliment my makeup but then they would never wear it...

in UK is true many girls wear tonnes of foundation (badly matched) and lots of mascara which looks good cos there are many blue eyed gals and dark lashes make blue stand out

Sydney Australia - very minimal makeup - usually girls just wear clear lipgloss, wash of bronzer, lots of mascara and eyeliner - along with shimmery brown/gold/black eyeshadows.....

We had some Swedish backpackers come and work at my work for a while and they tended to wear pinkish lipgloss with pastel eyeshadows and mascara - they were all so naturally beautiful though, it wouldnt have mattered what they wore.

LMAO! I have seen a few of those lately,...

Here in my hometown (north england) most girls wear awful orange foundation, loads of badly applied liquid eyeliner, pale frosted lipstick with dark liner and loads of cakey mascara! Yuk!

Here is MD I tend to see black eyeliner(liquid) with grey purple shimmer eyeshadow with a neutral lipe.

I have noticed people are wearing thier blush higher on the apples almost under the eye to the temple. and lots of shimmer to the brow&neutral with like one bold accent color. rimming with black on the waterline.I like that actually.

out here in ny - lots of harsh black eyeliner and mascara. and a lot of dark lipliner with light lips - which is absolutly horrible. sometimes i feel like people just dont care how they look.

but besides that - lots of neutral looks

 

[MissKaylee*]

BLACK eyeliner and lipgloss

I still think about it, but here is just a HUDGE mix. People are wearing all kinds of make-up, I cannot tell one style... Taking the bus & metro everyday I see people wearing natural look, punk, goth, way to much make-up they look like clowns, the white e/l style or black e/l style, mismatch of colors, to much glitter, nothing a all, minimal make up, flashy colors, neutrals, white or pale e/s to the lid, flashy blushes... etc etc
