For me, that's one of the things I enjoy about make-up--the drama, the theatricality of it (recovering theatre nerd here). I like to do things like bold, smoky eyes--things that stick out and make me look obviously made-up. BUt that is only for very special occasions--big parties, dinners out, etc. Would you catch me wearing that every day? No. Every day is a little eyeliner, a little eyeshadow (usually light pink or yellow, brightens the eyes), and Chapstick...shoot, it's usually not even that much.
Oh, and a good recommendation for those of you looking for an alternative to base: Nivea makes a cream called Simply Glowing that has light-reflecting particles in it to make your skin appear brighter and smoother without actually covering up your skin. It's a lightweight moisturizer that I tend to use everyday (I trade off with a moisturzer by Neutrogena that has glycolic acid in it).
