I enjoy playing with makeup in that I think it's really interesting how one can change one's appearance with the effects of shadows, light, and colors. I tend to do a lot of stage-type makeup, as I am a performer, part-time. Since it's a big part of my hobby, I've learned *a lot* about it, and have fun with it while trying to not spend too much time and money(!) on it. I already have more than I'll ever use up.
On a regular daily (work day) basis, I wear it all, but lightly and w/ very fast application time.
If anyone has makeup questions, feel free to ask me.
Oh, and I recommend MAC across the board, for everything.
