All or Nothing?

I just upload the free app from Sephora on my Ipad. There are several videos on how-to apply make-up that I started to watch. As a feature of this app, it activates the Ipad camera, so there it is...a full face camera shot above the video. Whoa. I wasn't ready to see myself in my natural glory! So I decided that maybe I should make a little effort each morning. Here I am bare faced.
Here I am with a swish of Bare Mineral powder, a dab of Nar's Orgasm powder blush, Revlon eyebrow pencil and Burt's Bees Watermelon Shimmer lip gloss. Maybe 1 minute to apply and my usual minimum for going anywhere. Except I don't put on the Bare Mineral powder. It does do a good job of evening out skin tone, but irritates my skin a bit. I'm trying a good moisturizer underneath to see if that helps...'cause I'm thinking I need the the powder's effect.
Here I am with a "smokey eye" and full on lipstick and mascara and a little Water Wax in the hair. Whoa, looks a little Norma Desmond scary. So, what's it gonna be, girl friend? All or nothing?

I think you look pretty dang good sans makeup, Charlotte! I'm guessing 95% of the women out there wouldn't be brave enough to post a makeup-less photo.

I like your lighter look for every day, and the full-on glamour for evening or something special.

I've been curious about the mineral makeups. Of course, the adds always make you look like Harvey Kietel before and Linda Evangelista after, so you can't trust them.

Thanks for sharing your real face!
