Have you thought about having your eyebrows dyed?

It's actually pretty easy to do it yourself although that's not really recommended. I use a darker shade than I use on my hair, and I just mix a couple drops of color and developer, apply with a q-tip and leave it on for about ten minutes. It colors the little fine hairs that have no color on their own and makes the brows look fuller.

I have green smoothies for two meals a day. What on earth does that have to do with makeup? I wear makeup to enhance my features - green, leafy veggies don't make my eyelashes or eyebrows darker!

I was going to say my powder foundation because my skin's not perfect, but even if I just applied that, my face would have no color, so I'd say a lip color. When I put lip color on and maybe even use a little of that on my cheeks, it brightens up my face completely.

I've gotten used to not wearing much eye makeup and my brows are pretty dark & thick already, so I'm ok in the eye department.

I know your intentions are likely good, but what makes you think I don't already have a nutrient dense diet? Your response does not really have anything to do with the thread . I am not intending to walk around with a few leaves of kale tucked in my purse . Happy Nutrition Month !

BTW, you know about the roots of make-up, right?

Its history goes back thousands of years when women would apply concoctions to their eyes and cheeks, hoping to emulate the look of the post-orgasmic flush because it was believed that men found this alluring.

Think about *that* next time you're applying eyeliner and blush!

You're trying to doll yourself up to make it look as though you just finished an especially fun game of slap and tickle!
Interesting, but I think the history of make up it a bit more complex then that. Acient Egyptians rocked the eyeliner and North African, Middle Eastern and Asian women used things like Henna for a really really long time. I would and have left my house without make up, but like the fun and drama it adds. Hey there are worst ways to look then post orgasmic lol.

I have never tried this. I usually tint with a shadow that matches my fair colour. I thought the product would be too messy.

Lipstick for sure! I already have long and thick eyelashes so I can do without mascara although it's my second favorite item.
