Hi Winnie6,

That does not sounds like a lot of makeup to me. It sounds like you are using a light hand, and blending, that will make all the difference in the world! There are two reasons people look like they are wearing a lot of makeup, the first is the pack it on like it is going out of style. This is especially true for eye makeup. The second reason is their foundation is the wrong shade, so it looks like they have a ton of makeup on because their foundation is too dark or too light for their face, giving a mask look. Not good!

If you like the way your makeup looks, then go for it! A quick test you can do is to look in a mirror in day light to see if your makeup looks good in broad daylight. If it looks natural and soft, and I imagine yours does, then keep it up.

Most people who wear too much makeup are not even concerned about it so I bet you look natural and fresh.

Critty :-)
