Make up Monday iDesign

I worked in cosmetics for about 10 years on and off, mostly on. I was there for the late 80's-early 90's. The era of high art eye make up. It was not unusual to sell a customer 5 different colors of eye shadow to be worn together -at the same time! And you think a smokey eye is hard. Here's how I would make it easier on the customer. One of those 'colors' was always a matte nude shadow that looked like their skin but cleaned up and freshened. Put this color on first. On the weekend for running around doing errands maybe you just need this and some mascara and you look awake and rested. If you are planning a smokey eye or other more involved face painting this gives you a perfect base to blend on top of so you don't end up with eye shadow clinging to bare skin and giving you a hard line. Now the 80's dark lipliner thing is a whole other post!
