Here's my every day face, which doesn't like to wear make up as you can tell. My problems are that I'm 47 and the fine lines and crows feet love to emerge through base. yuck. I like make up when done well, I just don't know what to do for myself.

I'm afraid those dark circles under my eyes are getting worse not better, and my upper lip is getting thinner as I get older and disappears when I smile - boo! (My skin is more yellowy olive toned, though this photo makes me look really yellow.)

I have never known what to do about my eye makeup, so I don't do much - although I think I have nice eyes. Overall I like a natural look.
