CONFESS!!!!! Women (and women)-what was the first makeup you ever wore?

[LynneSin]

I swear my mother wanted me to be a streetwalker with the horrible first makeup she bought me. It was recommended to her from the Avon Lady and it was the most garish colors of red for blush & lipstick and that obnoxious blue eyeshadow that everyone wore in the 70s. Plus I was not allowed to wear mascara so here were these eyes with bright blue eyeshadow on them and blonde eyelashes&eyebrows.

What's your first makeup horror story

1. What was it about that blue eye shadow?

I had a friend in school who we used to call "Lightbulbs" because she wore so much of it.

2. Aziza!!

Do they even make that anymore??

[Debi]

3. Bonnie Bell lip smackers!

Probably that horrible watermelon flavor...I can still taste it x(



as for other make-up, my mom bought Merle Norman/Clinique/Lancome products and gave me all the 'free gifts' so I wore a bunch of 'berry raisin' lipstick and coral shaded blush along with weird combos of eye shadow. :shrug:

12. Me too

I seem to remember Dr.Pepper and bubble gum. Remember when they used to come in the GIGANTIC tubes? And Loves Baby Soft.

14. Yes, with the ropes so you could hang them on your neck! n/t

4. White makeup for the 5th grade play.

I was the white rabbit in "The Trial of Alice In Wonderland."

5. I don't really remember what kind it was. I got it for my 14th birthday.

It came in a "caboodle". Tons of different kinds. Of course I had no idea how to use half of it and probably looked like a clown for a while!

6. This will show my age...

My first makeup was Tangee natural lipstick.

It looked orange in the tube, but it turned pink on your lips.

I started wearing it when I was in seventh grade because my big sisters told me I had to wear lipstick because the other girls would be wearing it,and I would otherwise feel left out!

7. That's so funny, I was just thinking about this very subject this

morning as I drove to work and heard a radio commercial for some fake tanning place. Made me remember how we baked ourselves in the sun, lightened our long straight hair and wore white lipstick. All in fruitless quest to look like a "California girl."

Of course, there were pounds of blue eyeshadow, but the white lipstick I remember more clearly. I must have looked like a cadaver.

9. QT Tans - I remember buying that stuff with my allowance money

And coming out looking all deeply orange with the streaks in between my fingers

8. Blue eyeliner.

Very difficult to wipe off quickly, when you're not supposed to be wearing it, and you're about to get busted.

[SeattleGirl]

10. Blue eye shadow......

....what can I say? I was a victim of the times. :crazy:

And to top it off, that was back in the day when the "cool" nylons to were were the cinnamon colored ones! :blush:

11. Went as Peter Criss one Halloween

Makeup goes on easy. Comes off not so easy.

[NewWaveChick1981]

13. Tangee lipstick in a bright pink color.

:rofl: I "borrowed" Mom's lipstick when I was six. The next year, I got a vanity set for Christmas, which was where my makeup fetish started. :P It came complete with "young ladies' makeup" and everything, even though I was seven.

15. Maybelline Great Lash Mascara.

I didn't like eyeshadow so I sometimes wore the midnight blue mascara for color.

16. I'm more likely to be a horror these days because it's fun

than when I was younger and extremely conservative... although in my day we did wear foundation :puke:
