Oi, you! Out!
Unless, of course you wear make-up? [:w] After all the topic only says "Favourite Make-up" Doesn't say anything about "ladies only" in the title [}:)]

I was trying to bring an Irish twist to my reply[}:)] but as you may note I have corrected my post above.[B)]

Where are the ladies, you ask? We're digging through our makeup to see what we like, what we don't, and what, we wonder, is that doing in there? Must have been a gift, from some man we think, we'd have never bought that color!
Then we have to see what's still being made; after all, makeup, as most men don't know (Scrooge possibly could make me a liar!), goes in and out of style forty times a month, or just fast enough that we buy it, like it, decide we can't live without it, and then can't buy it again save for enormous sums on eBay!
Have you ever seen the enormous piles of makeup some women have???
No, probably not, you've either been too shy or been warned with penalty of death for even thinking of going into the ladies' bath or near that ladies-only sink counter... So, trust me, we're here, just not ready to answer yet.
I think, after seeing my favorite mascara hasn't been made since the 80's (Chanel's original cake mascara), that I will just pitch the lot and be done with war paint for the rest of my life. Of course, if I do that, I will either reside in state in an empty A zone (egads! 'She looks like that' would be heard in terrified tones) or I'd finally have enough money left over to buy my own plane and fly in solitary splendor anywhere I want to go!
Makeup's expensive, men. If you want to know the way to a woman's heart, it's not chocolate which goes to our zits n' hips. It's not flowers which will die in a couple days and spread leaves all over our carpets which we (not you, natch) will have to vacuum up. And it's not jewelry (well, there I lie [:I]). You could buy us shoes.
Or you could point us at the exclusive counter of our choice and pull your (preferably VS!) card out, hand it to the consultant-blood-sucking-makeup-leech, and cheerily walk away until we are made up and bedecked with bags of our chosen potions and pots, brushes and cremes.
And no screeching or dying upon receiving the bill![V] After all, we probably just garnered you free UC tix...[:w]
Our favorite makeup? FREE makeup of our choice! We have a winner!

VSIAG, you are so right! Didn't realise there was so much c**p in my makeup bag. After chucking out a few things, I'm left with:
YSL - Touche Eclat, the miracle worker!
M.A.C - Foundation and pressed powder
Chanel - Bronzing powder
Lancome - Juicy tubes
Virgin Vie - Brightening Boost (mix it with your foundation)

Wow! And you all keep falling for this marketeers' fantasy of planned obsolescence and massively over inflated prices do you? Impressive. [}:)]
Is this orgy of purchasing animal excretions, with its phenomenally crippling financial impacts, the cause of you not being able to afford your own razors and end up nicking ours to do your legs?
Sorry Ladies, I'm going to be the downer.....
I've never worn make up in my life. Never worn foundation, don't know how blusher works, never worn eyeshadow or mascara, and the only lipstick I've ever worn I nicked from my mum (apart from Lancome Juicy Tube which I love, because it keeps my lips moist)
Do cleanse etc, but I just don't understand (can't be bothered with) make-up.
What you see is what you get:)
As for perfume...Got the shock of my life. My sister bought me "Lovely by SJP", and it is really lovely!
I do love bath/shower products that keep my skin moisturised and glowing, and smell good.

Alas, men seem to fall for the fantasy, not the reality, of most women. We'd love to go au naturel, but you don't seem to like it! Hairy legs, hairy... um, you get the idea.

Which brings me to your second point: the razor issue. We don't 'nick' yours to do our legs, we merely return the favor! Admit it! You're in the shower, and there's our nice, non-slip-handled razor, with its non-manly built-in lotion bars and its 'smooth-glide' strips. Ah, the comfort as it glides across your cactus-ended stubble. Oh, the smooth skin you're left with! No need to appear less than manly by putting such a womanly thing as our scented and fortified lotions and potions on your face - after all, it's built in to our razors. Admit it. You used it, didn't you? That's why someone has nicks on her poor, abused legs, after you, you oaf, mowed down your tatty facial hair!
May I suggest MyChelle to you? They have a nice men's line too. The link's to the US site - it's available worldwide.
(I should add that I have never been told self-expression is one of my problems, nor have I ever had the wit to know when to batten down the hatches... oh well!) [:w]
Happy Valentines Day, all! (Yes, even you, sailor boy)[:X]

Prada or Virgin Vie lip balm, whichever is closest to hand

Just to set the record straight, what I know about makeup could be written on the head of a pin, it appears on the bathroom counter, I see the bill's other than that no idea.
What I do know however is that I do not use the wife's razor, I have my own which is a gillette fusion, far better than anything the wife uses.

Don't ask me how, but somehow I made it on Creme de la Mer preferred list (though thinking about it maybe due to the membership for Harrods Urban Retreat Spa I was given). They are always sending me invites to visit and collect free samples.
But I digress, how much is that stuff! God it obscene, talk about markup. And as for that serum they were showcasing!
Thanks,
Richard

So you spend all this money just to feed our fantasies? I have some news - we are very capable of making up our own fantasy women without added stimulus from 600%+ markup products [y].
I applaud MrsD's cosmetic approach, which is one I recognise. It seems to work well for MrsD. So, for the record, I have never used the Rear Admiral's cheap, plastic, gimick ridden razor. Its a Bauch safety razor made from 316L stainless steel for me every time, combined with a silver-tip badger brush and decent quality soap. So no cactus tipped stubble for me! And no I don't moisturise - I drink liquids to keep my hydradtion correct. But I do cleanse, in that I get a flannel and wash my face. The one nod to my feminin side is that I do rather like silk boxers.
Happy Valentines to you too VSIASG [x] I hope you receive all the products your heart desires.

Nice!!!!
Gonna upset the hubby's and boyfriends here but I think one of the key's to decent make-up its price. As Katzenjammer sang at the 2007 PCP "it's not the thought that counts its the price". You have to pay for quality products ... you get what you pay for.
While I say the price counts, do you know what the best selling make-up range in the UK is? '17' from Boots.
