I Dont Wear Makeup

Hi M.

I understand what you are going through. I felt the same way until I was introduced to Mary Kay. The age fighting skin care system in the Time Wise Miracle Set is clinically shown to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, renew elasticity, restore more even skin tone and leave skin feeling soft. Feel free to view my website at www.marykay.com/rclay1 or call me at ###-###-####. I would love to schedule an appointment with you to create the basic skin care that's right for you. Looking forward to you phone call or email at ____@____.com

PS. Mary Kay is about skin care.

You should check out my website www.youravon.com/michellehale. I sell Avon and we have some very good products. I would suggest the Anew products. If you don't trust ordering online I can get your address and deliver a brochure to you. I'm not to far from South Holland.

M.-a makeup that I have found is Almay-the self adjusting formula-is really good. I hardly wear makeup for the same reason, but when I wear this I do not even know I have it on. As far as your circles-I am a consultant for Arbonne skin care products and they have a wonderful product that helps with that. If you would like a sample you can email me privately and I will send you one.

I've had dark circles under my eyes my whole life. It's just genetics for me, thin skin under the eye that gives the appearance that I'm always "tired." I've tried just about everything. I'm not sure of the degree of your circles, so I'll offer 2 suggestions.
First is Bare Minerals by Bare Escentuals. I don't like to wear a lot of makeup either, and need something fast and easy. There are a few different mineral-based products out there, and I've found this brand to be the best by far, as far as coverage. I'd recommend getting the kabuki brush (offers more coverage than the other brushes b/c it's denser) and the concealer brush for concentrating on the eye area. That may be enough for you. You can get one of the starter kits that includes 2 shades, so you can mix to create the best match for your skin tone. Also, keep in mind that under your eye, generally you'll want to use 1 shade lighter than your actual skin tone, and a slightly yellow tint will help best for under-eye coloration. You can order it online at sephora.com or at sephora stores.

If using the powder foundation doesn't offer enough coverage for you, then the best concealer I've found is by MAC. You can get that at most dept stores (Macy's, Carson's, etc). It's a thicker, cream-based concealer, so it's a little trickier to get it just right without looking cakey. But the MAC makeup artists at the counter I've found to be extremely helpful at teaching "tricks of the trade" so you can ask them when you go there. The only thing is with this route you'll want to put a powder over it, so you'll have to decide if you want to do cream-based or powder-based. Personally, I use the MAC concealer and then the Bare Minerals over it. But there's no "one size fits all" formula, since everyone has different skin tones, properties (oil/dry/etc), etc.

I hope this helps. Good luck!

Mary Kay also has some very good products that will help with that without looking "made up". There is a foundation that is called mineral foundation. It goes on very light and doesnt feel like you have foundation on. There is also an eye gel that actually helps with the dark circles under your eyes. If you like, I can come to your house and let you try it out for yourself. I live in Griffith In so I am not that far from you. You can contact me on my cell at ###-###-####. I also do free facials so if you like, I can come by and give you the full pampered treatment! Hope to hear from you soon.

hi M.! i envy you!! i am athletic also but have always needed a little something (at least mascara) to help me look better. i understand not liking a lot of makeup and enjoying the natural look. i would suggest that you go to the bobbi brown makeup counter. (macy's,nordtrom) she is known for very natural makeup. they can give u a product just for concealing under your eyes that can really wake up your eyes. benefit is another brand that has a good under eye concealer, you can get that a sephora. any of the mineral products that you mentioned are good as long as you don't have dry skin. if you do it settles into fine lines and looks bad. good luck!

When I'm not wearing any other makeup and just want to cover up circles, I use the yellow concealer stick by Maybelline (looks like a tube of lipstick, but you have to go easy on it) with just a dab of sheer makeup or tinted sunscreen. I like Clinique's Almost Makeup, and it comes in very fair colors, but there are probably lots of drugstore brands, too. My absolute favorite makeup that doesn't cost a fortune and is very sheer and natural is by DHC (dhccare.com). I like DHC overall for my skincare & makeup. Their highlighter (which looks like blush in very soft yellow) very subtly camouflages under eye circles, too, with or without any other makeup on. Everything is easy to return and guaranteed if you're willing to chance ordering online. One good thing is that you can choose 4 free samples of whatever you want with any order. I'm pretty simple and used to be an athlete (cycling - with hopes of being so again as my twins get a little older now) and this is really basic stuff that's never made me feel like I look dramatic or overdone. My sister & sister-in-law, who are both athletes (runners) aren't regular makeup wearers either, but they really like this. I've tried a lot of their stuff and the people are really great if you call them. If you have any questions, drop me a note. And if you decide to give DHC a shot and you're super cool, ask me for my customer number and I think we both end up getting a discount :)

Hi M.,
I work with Shaklee corporation and they have a wonderful makeup line made from minerals. It actually feeds your skin while you are wearing it, doesn't feel caked on and in fact doesn't feel like you are wearing make-up at all.

We have several different shades that are made for all skin types, so your fair skin is no problem at all.

I don't wear much makeup myself and I completely understand needing some tips. There are many days that I don't wear anything at all.

I have samples of the entire line and can meet with you to try it out if you'd like.

Here is a link to the products, but I would love to talk with you more about it and share it with you.
