I totally disagree regarding Clinique in the '90s. I worked at a Clinique counter and many of the 30 something moms brought in their teen daughters, like a bonding time and I got to teach them proper skin care with the products they bought (for that era). I also tight lined my eyes in the '80s until today which I learned from a beauty book written by Victoria's Principle. I would use Cover Girls liquid liner and then sometimes would dot the line on the base of my eyelashes instead of drawing a straight line. My lips were Cherished by Mac and Chanel's beige Matte 2, which is discontinued... boo. I used Bonnie Bell gel blush. I did not use foundation on my skin. Revlon mascara and Bonnie Bell Brown eyeshadow called Rawhide. One of my first lipsticks was by Yardley called Bubble Gum which tasted like sugar and one of my first fragrances was by Love cosmetics called Oui de Love. As far as darker lipsticks, my coloring didn't allow it but I was able to get by with wearing Coffee Bean by Revlon if I put Revlon's shimmer gloss, a white color in the pot over the Coffee Bean which gave it dimension and softened it a bit. Thank you this article. It seems it brought back a lot of memories.
I love this walk down memory lane. Thanks for sharing your experiences at the Clinique counter, that was so interesting. And thanks also for getting so specific about the products you used an loved, those are always the best comments in my opinion as they are so evocative and nostalgic!

That reddish-brown lipstick looks fab on you.
Why thank you! I'm considering adding into the makeup routine mix and reliving my days as a 17 year old, haha! I appreciate you! ❤️
