What item(s) make the biggest difference for your face?

[user79]

Moisturizer to help with dry patches on my cheeks.

Blush to give my pale skin a healthy flush.

Keeping my brows well groomed and plucked (no stray hairs.)

Undereye conealer to camouflage darker circles.

Mascara to frame my eyes.

Many things brings about nice changes such as foundation, mascara but if I had to narrow it down to the bare bones I'd say -

Curling my lashes. My lashes are stick straight but quite dark, so if I don't curl them no amount of mascara can open up my eyes like curling can.

Blush. Really livens up my face I'd forgo foundation for blush if I had to.

Lipstick. I can go without it (just give me my lip balm) but it really sweetens the face

1. Lightly plucking brows
2. Foundation
3. Blush/contouring/highlighting

All that said, these are the *basics* for a dressed look but if I only had <= 1 minute to do makeup, I would stick on lipstick over any of those things.

Hands down, curling my lashes makes the most difference to me, although my boyfriend claims he can notice no difference. Typical, Lol

Mascara then, as the tips of my dark brown lashes are blonde.
The only other big thing is foundation and/or concealer as my stupid face is so pale that alot of purple and blue shows through, as well as the freckles!

My tinted moisturizer and blush make the biggest difference in my face. It instantly makes me look bright, awake, and refreshed.

In order of what I would prefer to have with me on the deserted island:

1. mascara - love defined darkened lashes
2. moisturizer with spf - like the look of bare skin that is smooth
3. mineral makeup foundation- just a quick brush with lots of blending gives me light coverage and makes me feel more put together

of course foundation.. but the most amazing thing i have discovered lately is shaping my brows with concealer.

 

[makeba]

for me its upper lid liner and mascara.

EFFIN CONCEALER!!!! Without it, my face is a blotchy spotty mess. Damn red spots. I think I look like a completely different person without makeup. That's probably not a good thing. Doh well.

Foundation––I have pretty decent skin but I have large pores and I have broken capillaries under my nose plus some roughness around my upper lip. Foundation makes me look unbelievably better.

Eyebrow liner + colored eyebrow mascara. I use a really cheap drugstore brand––L'Oreal or something––that is double-ended. I use the liner pencil on the outer ends of my brows to make a nice point (if I do the wider/thicker inner ends of my brows I look like a drag queen and very scary!), and the mascara all over my brows to put 'em in order. I almost always forget to do this but it cleans up my face and adds an enormous degree of definition, it's almost shocking.
