this summer, I've been trying to become girly (I am in my early twenties, college student). So in two months, I went from a makeup collection consisting of expired bare-minerals starter kit (thrown out now), 3 smashbox lipgloss (costco a long time ago, probably gone bad, but very slightly used and doesn't seem wrong. >.>), and like one eyeshadow palette from ebay (48 colors for $15), and a $5 mascara to pretty much makeup for every season.
The problem is, for me its pretty much impulse buying, because my entire makeup collection from before this summer totalled around $100, and most of it was left unused and even though haven't gone bad, I don't think I'll use it. However, now I have a stash of makeup consisting of Stila, Crownbrush, Essence of Beauty, and Shu Uemura brushes, Stila, Shu, Smashbox, NYX, MAC, Lancome, Shisiedo Shadows, Shu, Smashbox, Kevyn Aucion Blush and Bronzers, Benefit Foundation, and the list just goes on and on. My problem is I see something that I is a good deal and I don't own anything similar, I'll want to buy.....
Ok so now you get the idea, but my QUESTION IS: I ended up not using makeup that I bought, so to prevent that from happening again I need to use my makeup. For those who wear makeup often, how do you determine when to have makeup on, when not to, and what colors, occasions, day and night difference guidelines can you give me? thanks
