No, that doesn't sound like much at all.
Sounds more like your sister is jealous. Tell her she could us a little help herself.

Taste and subtlety is relative, especially when discussed over the internet without visual aid -- Tammy Faye was the wife of a reverend and obviously thought she had sound judgement in choosing make up, but was renowned for her tasteless heaps of murky mascara that trademarked the phrase 'spider lashes'. In addition, golden mascara seems a bit show girl unless you're out on the town during night where metallics are forgivable. I wouldn't suggest bronzer because it just screams superficiality, especially if you have pale skin -- your best feature is your nude pink lip gloss, because it is a sign of confidence while still having a dainty flair. For the most part, people appreciate natural beauty and tend to scoff at those who use too much make up -- unless you're hideous, which I doubt you are, go for earthy tones; your green eyes should distinguish you enough.

A picture would be most helpful. But, go to a makeup counter in a department store, like MAC or Clinique, etc. and have a tech give you a free makeover. MAC reps are not only willing to do it, but they will put each color on a palette so you can have it for reference. You may decide not to purchase their products at all or all at once, but you can use the color scheme to compare to other brand colors (ie. Revlon,Lancome, etc.) The other thing you can do is to put your makeup on in daylight lighting. It will truly show you how others see you once you look at yourself in the mirror. Lastly, if you feel there may be too much, spend less time on the area the in the future.

I tend to go light on the makeup during the day. If I go out at night, I wear a little bit more. You may want to go light on the mascara and eye shadow. Use a concealer under your foundation. I wear a light blush/rouge during the day and a darker color when I go out at night.

You don't say how old you are but keeping as natural looking as possible at any age is always best. Sounds like you are just enhancing instead of trying to create a whole new face so I think you are probably on the right track and not overdoing it.

Everyone will have there own individual opinion to what they think is too much makeup some prefer less and others more. Alot of people will not agree with your personal style, if makeup enhances your outer beauty with your inner beauty then it allows you to be able to express yourself a whole lot more and be confident throughout life. Don't worry what others think because their self image of you maybe quite different from your own and changing your style to what others agree with may make you self conscious and unable to express to people who you really are.

i think you should trade the foundation and bronzer for tinted moistourizer, then it wouldn't be too much. if you still feel like you have uneven skin, spot-conceal "ugly" areas with concealer.
i think right now, you DO where a lot or makeup. you know, i usually wear mascara (sometimes, barely ever eyeliner too) and lip gloss.

Depends on your age, usually less is best. It's hard to tell without seeing you, but it doesn't sound like your using to much. Ask some other people you trust for an opinion.

I've always said putting on makeup is like wrapping a gift. You don't know whats inside til you take it off. I myself love the less is best theory.
