NP fantastic tip…I wrote it down in notebook for next makeup purchase. Have actually been letting products run out to start a new line…and like the Bobbie Brown look, neutrals with a smoky eye, actually saw her do a makeover on TV and was surprised just how strong the eye was. I always run to the window and look in magnifying mirror in direct sun as concerned to overdo. BTW speaking of beautiful….I found these great quotes today on a facebook friend’s page…loved them: “I cannot pretend to be impartial about the colours. I rejoice with the brilliant ones, and am genuinely sorry for the poor browns.” - Winston Churchill “The longer I live the more beautiful life becomes. If you foolishly ignore beauty, you will soon find yourself without it. Your life will be impoverished. But if you invest in beauty, it will remain with you all the days of your life.” Frank Lloyd Wright “A joke is a very serious thing.” Winston Churchill “An artist is someone who produces things that people don’t need to have but that he - for some reason - thinks it would be a good idea to give them.” Andy Warhol “Being good in business is the most fascinating kind of art. Making money is art and working is art and good business is the best art.” Andy Warhol “I’ve decided something: Commercial things really do stink. As soon as it becomes commercial for a mass market it really stinks.” Andy Warhol “A doctor can bury his mistakes but an architect can only advise his clients to plant vines.” Frank Lloyd Wright “A great architect is not made by way of a brain nearly so much as he is made by way of a cultivated, enriched heart.” Frank Lloyd Wright “An architect’s most useful tools are an eraser at the drafting board, and a wrecking bar at the site.” Frank Lloyd Wright “Every great architect is - necessarily - a great poet. He must be a great original interpreter of his time, his day, his age.” Frank Lloyd Wright “Drop it like it’s hot.” Snoop Dogg “I’d rather deal with Tipper than Bush. He’s trying to kill everybody in jail.” Dr. Dre “Probably my worst quality is that I get very passionate about what I think is right.” Hillary Clinton “You show people what you’re willing to fight for when you fight your friends.” Hillary Clinton “Art resides in the quality of doing, process is not magic.” Charles Eames “Choose your corner, pick away at it carefully, intensely and to the best of your ability and that way you might change the world.” Charles Eames “Ideas are cheap. Always be passionate about ideas and communicating those ideas and discoveries to others in the things you make.” Charles Eames “All I want are high heels, high heels. If I was a girl, I’d wear a lot of high heels. High, stiletto heels.” Isaac Mizrahi “Less is more.” Ludwig Mies van der Rohe “God is in the details.” Ludwig Mies van der Rohe “I don’t want to be interesting. I want to be good.” Ludwig Mies van der Rohe

CT…Taka away my makeup and I breaka yur arm. Ha. I love makeup. Although don’t have much of it. Can fit everything in one smallish clutch.

Chrome: the secret is a lot of make-up applied very little skillfully––in other words, you can use foundation, blush, mascara, eye shadow, a puff of powder, lip gloss/or lipstick and you are good to go and if applied sparingly it will enhance instead of shout of a made up face.

CT, I was with you until I hit 40 and an Orlane rep from France showed me what the problem was. After that, Orlane was all I used, with an auto re-order from N-M, which his saying a lot for me! The culprit was my skin - flawless but sensitive oily, (sensitive to anything with laurel-anything in it) and I had been trying everything from cosmetics to cleansing stuff for “dry skin” - as a born red-head. I have to say their line, then, suited me. Now, with fading “red” but still freckled, any changes in my coloring exogenously affects my overall look, and my clothing. I’ve given up and stick with olive oil, alpha hydroxils (still!), an almost vegan diet, and Dove Sensitive, and all Cetaphil products. *smiling*
