Make Up: Europeans vs North Americans.

Here in tx it's big hair and full makeup on the honky tonk women. A typical tx woman never leaves the house without full face on.(besides my tomboy mom, she wears lips and eyes only) When I go to sephora they're like why the heck do you want bb cream? Here's a full coverage foundation right here! I'm not sure about Europe and fresh face but since becoming a mom I've been trying out fresh face more. It's been tough for me to adjust after 20 years of full makeup everyday. I still rarely go in public barefaced for anything. I'm sure there's ppl who will disagree but this is how it is in my life.

I just moved to a crazy small town in Arkansas about 2 hours from where I grew up and even that small of a difference there are some HUGE disparities between makeup styles and trends. In Northwest Arkansas where I grew up its very similar to Dallas with the big hair, full face all day errrr day. Here... well I would almost guarantee that at any given point I'm the person with the most makeup on in the entire town... kills me.

Love Gordie Shore! I live in NYC and most girls here don't wear a lot of makeup. It depends on what time and where you're going to see cake makeup on a girl. The most makeup I see on a person is usually in mac or sephora. Even the customers barely wear any makeup.

I live in Norway, and almost all of my friends does a full face everyday.. It's a HUGE gap between natural makeup - full face here, it's either this or that.. But as some of you girls said, I think it's depending on what area you live in.

Here in WV, they cake it on and the more glitter, the better-- makeup and clothes. It makes me twitch. It's as if they're stuck in the worst of the eighties. I'm up for some bling, but girl...if your jeans are blinged out and your shirt has sequins, do you really need your Lil sweater to be glitzed with metallic thread AND glitter eyeliner, nails and lip liner that doesn't match? I grew up in the NYC metro area. No wonder my migraines are worse here. lol.

I live in london and there is a huge variety of make up wearers. Some full face, some bare face and all variations inbetween. I haven't noticed a trend among countries tbh. it all depends on what the popular fashion is for the area.
