makeup item/area you 'neglect'???

Was just thinking about how I used to not even care for lipliners, but now I see how they can make your lips look they've been 'done' by a pro. So now, I take them a bit more seriously!!! Was like that with eyeliners till MAC fluidlines came along (thank you goddess of beauty!).

What types of makeup items do you neglect?

I haven't got any primers. Don't wear foundation regularly but I should have at least one. Loose powder too - I need that! Just too lazy to go and find a suitable one.

Have only one mascara, in black, and could definitely do with dark brown (much more flattering on me). And how sad is this: the only reason I have one is because I got it free with a magazine! But it's a brand I'd buy again.

Brow pencils. Don't need, won't ever need. Got those 'luxurious' (read: naturally heavy!!!) Indian eyebrows that will never need a brow pencil! Curse those genes!

I think that's it! I'd be interested to hear what others feel they neglect, or do you have the best/a choice of everything?

I never wear lipliner. I know I should, but I already have such big lips I try to DOWNplay them a bit. I also NEVER curl my eyelashes. I don't like the way it looks on me.

It used to be brows cause mine are naturally really thick and are unfortunately curly, too! I've been trying to make more of an effort with them lately, and it seems to make a *big* difference in the overall look.

Big lips is me too. I since discovered that l/l can help stop lip product migrating into non-lip areas! If you don't want to wear it, you don't have to

I'm with you on the lash-curl thing. Just plain lazy!

blush - because i wear the same two colours over and over and don't change the shades - it's either MAC Variety or NARS Orgasm.

+ i never wear lip liner (or lipstick for that matter...i just prefer some gloss)

+ i never wear foundation / concealer (though I should probably start wearing concealer...evil under-eye circles!!! >_<)

+ i never wear powder (i have no idea how to apply powder or how to even properly select the one for my skin tone...the same goes for concealer and foundation, which is probably why i've avoided them all this time lol)

+ i have only one mascara, and that's Maybelline XXL in black which sucks IMO. =\ I want to try getting Max Factor 2000 Calorie mascara or L'Oreal Featherlash / Lash Architect / Voluminous

so what *do* i wear? only eye makeup, of course. except for the fact that I'm neglecting my mascara. =/

I also never ever wear lipliner...or eye cream. I never curl my lashes either.

sometimes (rarely) i put on foundation (bare minerals only) as i HATE liquid foundation.

Hmmm...I'm sure there's more. Actually, I really don't wear alot of makeup, only when I'm going out. I'm usually totally bare faced all but on the weekend nights.

ummm, dont really use foundation. mainly because i dont know how. or loose powder... all that stuff, i dont even know the order i would have to put things on... if someone could explain... thanks!

i also dont do the lipliner thing... i suck at it and end up looking wierd... imo.

only lately did i start wearing blush, i didnt even know where to apply it until maybe like 2 months ago.

i used to be an only lipgloss wearer but now im getting the hang of lipstick, well more that im getting used to the texture and how to apply it.

i used to suck at the eye liner thing and never used it, well only in the waterline, but now i can actually use liner thanks for the fluidliner... thank u MAC!!!

ok, thats it... seems like a lot... but im starting to pay attention a bit more to the full look now rather than just one thing.

I don't pay much attention to my lips.....That's b/c they get icky & the peel and are always dry

Plus MAC only makes sticky lipgloses & My boyfriend hates kissing me when I have lip junk on *lol* I really don't care about blush either. I don't see the point in curly my lashes b/c it makes them look retarded.

Awww SxyChika when I move to Ohio & I've convinced the boyfriend to take me to NY for a weekend(around my birthday time) We can hook up for a day/evening & do make-up together cuz I told him about the Pro store that's there that you told me about

In general my lips. Which is odd because of the goodies I have for my lips. Lately, my lips tend to get dry fast so I just have not been using much in the lip area besides lip conditioners and lip smackers. I hardly ever use lipliner and if I do I never reapply it. I like to do my face and be done with it. As much as I love make up I don't like to have to keep my face "up" during the day.

Don't fix what is not broken. If you don't need foundation there is no need to wear it.
BUT in general you would apply Primer (if you want to use it), foundation, and then powder. The concealer part is up to use. I will usually conceal with the foundation. Except for my undereye concealer which I like to do after my foundation but before powder.
If you just want to keep shine off and don't want to use foundation you could dust it on at anytime. I would do it before mascara just because I am messy with loose powder. If you want to use pressed it could be done before or after you finish your face. Some people like to put powder of their blush to give it a more set in look. I like to put my powder under my blush.
LOL guess I didn't help too much. It's best to find out what works for you but if you don't have any foundation on in the pics you post I say good for you and don't worry about it! I'd love to not have to use it!

I don't really use foundation except for special occasions either,.. I am blessed with a nice fair/olive complexion and it is usually very very clear, but I do use concealer and a good powder before I put on my color,.. I think I neglect most my lips during the day,.. at work it just seems like a waste,.. I don't like to have to fool with it all day. If I have time in the morning I might put on some prolongwear and be good for the day but I really only pay attention to my lip color after work hours and the weekends.

i'm bare faced all the time unless i'm going out @ night...and since i don't wear anything except for eyeshadow, that means most of the time i have a no-make-up face. :| i don't use foundation or powder...

Its too early to be creative :p

Lately i've really gotten into filling in brows and such... I spend so much time on mascara, i hate clumpy lashes.

I only use lipliner on occasions. But, it happens

Foundation is a once, twice a year event for me too. But it's sin to neglect my lips (I mean, to me). They get so dry and cracked that I HAVE to take care of them because they worry others around me!

slowly beginning to embrace neutral makeup: never got the point but seeing its merits gradually.

Hmmm...I never do anything to my brows (except have them arched).
I don't prime anything!
I often forget to use mascara.

But I think the area I am weakest in is skin care. I get the makeup off, wash the face and go to bed. In the morning I wash again and them moisturize before makeup application. That's that!! I think I just need more info on skin care is all... <shrug>

I definately neglect my lips. I just slap on my Victoria's Secret Balmy Nights as I'm going out the door. and its in a tin and I dont use a brush or my finger to apply it I just make kissy lips and tap the tin on my lips and smear my lips together ha I'm reallllly lazy about my lips. I don't do mascara, curl my eyelashes, set my brows, or anything like that. I stopped doing eyeliner a couple years ago but I'm trying to get my hands on some fluidline.

I definately just made myself sound extremely lazy haha

Shame on me, but the area I neglect most is skincare. I really ought to have a regular routine but I can stick to one for around 3 days before I start to forget and not bother. At my age I should really know better.

I don't really neglect much makeup-wise, except often the makeup itself! By that I mean if I apply makeup, I do it properly but very often I don't wear any makeup at all. I'm not one of these people that needs a full face to answer the door!
