Facing the green-eyed monster

I wish I didn't have broken capillaries. I admire women that don't wear makeup and their skin looks even.

I am pretty happy with my lot, and am enjoying learning about makeup to look better.

I wish I had normal skin free from redness. I would love to be able to go without foundation but my skin is too red for that.

my biggest envy is girls with clear skin (absolutely no acne, spots..).. i cant believe those girls wear foundation!!

Ooh I have many envies not just one. Here goes my list: 1. Girls with long, muscular legs. 2. Breasts (seriously, I have like nothing) 3. Dark blue eyes. 3. Shiny, blonde hair. 4. Flat tummies.

I use scrub and cleansing milk/cream to get flawless skin :)

The green shadow is gorgeous. To have a flawless face I cleanse, tone, moisturise

my biggest beauty envy - definetely flawless skin!!!! I spend so much money on makeup and skin products to try and get my skin to be clear and flawless, and then there is my friend who has such perfect skin she almost looks photoshopped - and she doesn't even know what a concealer is!!!!!!!!! I am so jealous lol

Ooh, I get that all the time; seeing a lady with flawless skin, staring hard into her face to detect visible traces of makeup, raging up in disappointment in discovering that her skin is actually, really, JUST THAT GOOD - like she's never been through puberty and her supple skin has continued to remain in that prepubescent phase while the rest of her body continues to grow!

Love to try the face balm. Natio is a nice natural product. Will be checking this out. I use the sunsense tanning sytem to make my skin look good without foundation. Thanks to bh for sending me this product. Its another new love of my life and its good on the wallet also. I wake up with an even skin tone!. Would like to try rimmels longlasting foundation. Thanks for the tips!

Lots of moisturiser and water for a flawless face - good genes help too!

Hmmm biggest beauty envy would probably be flawless skin, and I hate to say it but a "more-endowed-than-me" cleavage. Not something that makeup can really fix lol. EDM's vikis radiant creation illuminiser/blusher/bronzer powder is great for a pick me up to create glowing cheeks (minus the sweaty look)

Flawless skin!! I can never seem to achieve that no matter what I've tried. =(

I so agree on the skin thing. I watch quite a few online makeup tutorials and all of those girls have such great skin that their foundation just flows on and when applying their blush and shadow it just looks so effortless, put product on the brush, wipe brush once across correct area and it's done. So annoying.

I literally spend thousands of dollars every year in hopes of clear skin! I lhave friends with gorgeous clear, even glowy skin tiones, who doent even own a cleanser Sucks hardcore!!!

My sister's naturally blonde hair. I have to spend hours getting streaks in my thick hair to get the same effect! So not fair! I create a flawless face my taking care of my skin and wearing mineral makeup. Concealer, illuminator and bronzer also help my skin look fabulous and flawless. : )

My biggest beauty envy would be exactly what you were saying! I suffer mild rosacea so on hot weathers/environments my face goes red!! Arghh annoying! So I usually contrast it with my concealer. Another one is having open pores! I use powder and still that sinks into my pores, I'm searching far and wide for a very effective mattifier/primer as well as a treatment for 'tightening my pores'. And as you have mentioned Natio Brightening Balm I might have a look at that too..

a great article - and a really insightful often unspoken truth...LOL - at the moment I have hair envy - of everyone is see. I'm pregnant and whilst i am still gett my colour and cuts done, due to the pregnancy hormones the colours just aren't taking the same way or turn out the shade they are supposed to.
I'm a sucker for a good serum to make me feel good. At the moment my product of choice is Avon Anew Vitamin C serum. I use a moisturiser afterwards, and when I wake up my skin looks noticeably fresher. Also lashings of mascara to open up my eyes and a dose of peachy blush to brighten my complexion always perks me up a bit.

I agree with the flawless skin, I think though I'm really concious of the tone of my skin as well. Girls in their twenty's have that gorgous plumpness to it that seems to fade as we age... man, to be able to turn back the clock!! Isn't there a creame for that yet? ha

I think my biggest beauty envy would have to be youth. You just can't beat youth! Thankfully there ARE a lot of things we can do to give the illusion of flawlessness . . I love my Loreal Studio Secrets matifying primer, followed by revlon colourstay mineral mousse foundation, some translucent powder and a shimmery touch of blusher. Gee it's lot of work to be flawless when you're over 40 . . .

as someone with pores, yes to a flawless face! but she's still young Deb, who knows what time will do to her face!

I am totally jealous of people's eyes who sparkle! Have u noticed that? Their eyes shine heaps and it makes them look way hotter/cuter. Dayum I have plain boring dark brown eyes lol..

sounds like someone i know. im jealous of her brother though (the young unaccomplished one, not the older successful one)

My New Year's resolution is to lose weight and my weight goal is to be the same weight I was when I first met my husband (12 years ago). I was looking through old pictures of myself so I can have a visual image of my resolution. What bothered me most was remembering how much I'd complain about my skin, hips, bum, practically everything! when in fact I looked pretty amazing back then and would do anything to be the way I was 12 years ago. I wish I loved myself more at that time and did not take what I was blessed with for granted, maybe I would have enjoyed life more fully. But life is a vicious cycle, here I am complaining of my weight, when 12 years from now I'd probably look at my old pictures and think I was pretty decent. Sigh!
