With so many September and October Bees getting married, it’s already time to start thinking about our next batch of characters! Several of you have suggested shoes and makeup as potential categories in the past, but neither had enough options to fill up a generation of 10 characters. So we thought we’d combine them!
Shoes can include: stiletto, ballet flat, flip flop, cowboy boot, d’orsay, sneaker, galoshes/wellies…
Makeup is a little trickier: lipstick/lipgloss, blush, perfume are all pretty cute, but would anyone would want to be Miss foundation, concealer, eye shadow, mascara?
We need your help — please give us your suggestions for the 10 cutest shoe and makeup characters! ![]()

Share this post: Shoes and Makeup
Shoes: wedges, sandals, I love pp bunny slippers!
Makeup: powder or powder puff, nail polish, loofah, body cream
I suppose it would be difficult to use something like Converse with the brand name involved, but I love me some fuzzy slippers, and what about some snow boots or ski boots?
Also, I’m with you on not being to sure on the foundation, eye shadow or mascara, but I think “Miss Concealer” is an amusing title.
I would totally love to be a Miss Mascara, and I think other ladies would do - it’s many women’s favourite make up product!
We can’t use anything copyrighted like uggs, converse or crocs. ![]()
Haha, Nstar you beat me to it - I’d totally be Miss Mascara! Makeup could also be Miss Compact or Miss Powder Puff…for shoes, how about Miss Mary Jane, or Miss Peep Toe?
nail polish or more generic powder pouf instead of the specific foundation/eyeshadow.
“Miss Rain boot”
“Miss Mukluk”
“Miss Sandal”
“Miss Mary Jane” (or is that a brand…?)
I like the fuzzy/bunny slippers - that’s pretty cute!
for makeup:
“Miss Glitter”
What about tropical fish/animals?
for shoes (ah, shoes):
Miss Sling Back
Miss Bootie
Miss Oxford
Miss Moccasin
I’d love to be Miss Mascara too! It sounds kind of like a drag queen’s name, which is why I love it ![]()
Shoes: Miss Mary Jane, Miss Slingback, Miss Espadrille
Makeup: Miss Shimmer, Miss Hairspray, Miss Shadow (instead of eye shadow, maybe?)
Miss Bronzer immediately came to mind…Miss Rouge…I like the pp suggestion of Miss Powder Puff.
As for shoes…Miss Platform…Miss Peep Toe…Miss Loafer (although any self-respecting Bee couldn’t be called a loafer, too much on the to-do list to loaf!)
Miss Powder Puff is great. I like miss nail polish too. Along the lines of body products, i love Miss Bubblebath, even if it not makeup, per se.
What about what you DO with the makeup? Like “Miss Manicure” or “Miss Pedicure”, “Miss Facial” (although that’s not really using make-up, but I like it!), “Miss Makeover”, does hairspray count as make-up? I like “Miss Hairspray”!!!
Miss high heel
Miss strappy sandal
Miss cowboy boots
Miss swim flippers
Miss tap shoe
Miss snow boot
Miss blush
Miss bronzer
Miss nail polish
Miss powder puff
Miss Lipliner
Miss Wedge is great, because who doesnt love a good wedge!? Although, I can see the nickname of Wedgie popping up already…
Haha - I love Miss Chapstick - or is that a brand name so it would be lip balm?
How about Miss Bronzer…
I’m sure I’m repeating some but:
Miss Tennis Shoe, Miss Rain Boot, Miss Fuzzy Slipper (or Bunny Slipper), Miss Mary Jane, Miss Saddle Shoe
Miss Powder Puff (ADORABLE), Miss Bubble Bath, Miss Rouge/Blush, Miss Perfume
10 Make up/Skin care:
Miss Shadow
Miss Blush
Miss Mascara
Miss Powder puff
Miss Liner
Miss Lipstick
Miss Body Cream
Miss Salt Scrub
Miss Bubble Bath
Miss Loofah
10 Shoes:
Miss Stilettos
Miss Pumps
Miss D’Orsay
Miss Mules/Clogs
Miss Ballet Flats
Miss Wellies
Miss Loafers
Miss Sandals
Miss Kitten Heels
Miss Espadrilles
miss kitten heel
miss stiletto
i concur on miss powder puff and miss peeptoe
I too love Miss Mascara and Miss Bunny Slipper.
and…
Miss Jellies (for the 80’s loving bride, oh I loved me some Jellies!)
the shoes sound so cute! gosh i love miss peep toe!
for makeup, how about miss luminizer, miss shimmer, miss eyelash curler
miss kitten heel, miss flip flop, miss stilletto, miss ballet slipper, miss espradille, miss cowboy boot, miss peep toe, miss barefoot… need 2 more
miss glitter, miss lipstick, miss blush, miss mascara, miss gloss, miss bronzer, miss manicure, miss shadow, miss hairspray & miss powder puff
skip foundation & concealer- those are things you don’t want to *see* anyway!
miss snowshoe?
or skiboot?
some will be winter weddings, right?
Blush
Lipgloss
Powder Puff
Peep Toe
Hmm . . . now that I think of it, how about dance styles? I know it’s not an object, but Miss Tango sounds better than Miss Mukluk. (Though I do love makeup and shoes . . .)
My favorite shoes are ones I wear for tango dancing and since you were looking for ten names, I thought that since ballroom has ten dances (International Standard and International Latin), why not suggest dances.
Waltz, Tango, Waltz, Foxtrot, Quickstep, ChaCha, Samba, Rumba, Paso Doble, Jive - could substitute with Mambo, East Coast Swing, etc.
Miss:
Peep toe, Stiletto, ballet flat, flip flop, cowboy boot, sneaker, slipper, bunny slipper, lipstick/lipgloss, blush, perfume, nail polish, eyeshadow…
the possibilities are endless! ![]()
Miss Kitten Heel is the only one I can come up with. I’m seconding/thirding/etc.:
Miss Powder Puff
Miss Bubble Bath
Miss Mascara
Miss Bunny Slipper
Miss Flip Flop
@missbean: we’ve tried to keep all the character generations at least somewhat wedding related. we’re gonna probably have to do animals or sea creatures at some point though. ![]()
not only do i love the idea of doing shoes, but i am feeling like miss flip flop… in more ways than one!
Oohh…I love the shoe idea! Flip Flops, Boots, Slippers, Peep Toes and Sneakers are all great.
And I like Miss Lipstick, Mascara, Perfume, Shimmer Dust and Nail Polish.
I’m partial to the cowboy boot, but I love the ideas for the shoes… I’m definitely a shoe-aholic.
I love flip-flop, peep-toe, stiletto, galoshes, wedge, sling-back… and especially cowboy boot.
For makeup… glitter, bronzer, highlighter, blusher, powder puff…
Good luck!
I LOVE Miss Mascara, Miss Fuzzy Slipper, and Miss Powder Puff! I also adore Miss Peep Toe and Miss Mary Jane. I think Miss Lipstick, Miss Cowboy Boot, Miss Stiletto, and Miss Shadow are cute too. What a fun idea!
I like “Miss Slipper” as a glass slipper image! cute!
Ok, I’m looking through my closet- sorry for any repeats!
Miss Oxford
Miss Espadrille
Miss Wing Tip
Miss Galosh
Miss Pointe (ballet)
Miss Gladiator
Miss Strappy
Miss Platform
I love peep toe and powder puff!
bronzer, kitten heel, jellies, eyeliner, trainers/sneakers, platforms
I really love peep toe, (bunny!) slippers & nail polish!
Miss Mud Mask! how cute would that icon be.
I would SO want to be Miss Fuzzy Slipper
shoes:
miss mary jane!
miss d’orsay (love it)
miss stiletto
miss kitten heel
hmm how about miss glass slipper? like cinderella
what a cute icon that would be!
make-up:
def miss mascara!
miss blush
miss lipgoss
these are tough categories! but these are ones i think would be most appealing to your bees-to-be!
I like for the shoes: ballet flat, cowboy boot, d’orsay (oh, yum), flip-flop, and slingback. And for the make-up, I like mascara, lipstick, perfume, blush, & powder puff.
What cute icons these will make!
You could do Miss High Top instead of Miss Converse.

Darn it. I would so have been all over Miss Stiletto. She just sounds hot and dangerous.
I have one to add to the shoe category - how about Miss Moccasin?
Also, I thought of another category that could be wedding-related: how about lingerie? We’re all going to be wearing some pieces under our gowns (I hope)! It doesn’t have to be too risque - you could use names like Miss Nightie, Camisole, Pajamas, Corset, Baby Doll, Thigh Highs / stockings, Boy Shorts, Garter, Robe, Slippers…
Miss Mary Jane!
A nice one for an Aussie would be miss thong* however I can see all of you Americans giggling at that one
(*thong = flipflop)
I would like to second Miss Powder Puff (a white fluffy icon with a pink ribbon on top is too cute) and Miss Bunny Slippers (!). I know a lot of people would really like Miss Glitter/ Sparkle and makeup would be the only way to create an icon for that. If you are going to stretch the categories, Miss Bubblebath is a crowd-pleaser.
Miss Galoshes for an April bride! I like Emily’s suggestion of a lingerie generation
I think you could totally get to 10 shoes!
espadrille, high tops, cleats(for a jock bride), pump, peep-toe, sandal, slipper.
I think make-up and shoes would make cute and fun characters.. I can’t wait to send in my application in a few months!

Yeah, you gotta do Miss Kitten Heel! And I too would want to be Miss Mascara, given my industrial-strength propensities in that regard!
I think sometime doing wedding-type fabrics would be cool — Miss Tulle, Miss Lace (or types of lace–Miss Battenberg, etc.), Miss Satin, Miss Voile (okay, I’m biased on that one), and so on. Just a nutty idea . . .
@Mrs. Bee: While I can understand why you’d want the characters wedding related, I’m concerned that this generation could alienate potential male applicants(as well as less girly-girls)…I mean, would guys want to have a shoe/make-up nickname?
I’ve only ever thought of the last two generations (hors d’oeuvres and drinks) being wedding related(well, and flowers I suppose). I like the animals(and food and drinks) better in part because to me they seem more gender neutral.

@Ada: My brother told me that my name sounded like a drag queen or porn star! Too funny.
I love all of them~ miss stiletto, miss mascara, miss slipper, miss powder puff- they’re adorable!
There are so many great suggestions. I love:
Miss Peep Toe
Miss Wedge
Miss Stiletto
Miss Kitten Heel
Miss Bootie
Miss Mascara
Miss Eyeliner
Miss Blush
Miss Lipstick
Miss Powderpuff
Can’t wait to see the new illustrations ![]()
My Favorite Top 5 Makeup ideas:
Miss Lipstick
Miss Blush
Miss Shimmer
Miss Powder Puff
Miss Rouge
My Favorite Top 5 Shoe ideas:
Miss Stiletto
Miss Peep Toe
Miss Kitten Heel
Miss Ballet
Miss Mary Janes
Such cute ideas!!!!
as a make up artist, this idea had me so excited at first… But what was going through my mind was more onthe lines of my favorite makeup names. Like Miss Love Nectar after one of my fAvorite lipglossrs at work (MAC). Miss powder or Miss Eyeliner just doesn’t sound as fun.
What about adding colors to the makeup? Like Hot Rod Red, Berry Bliss and Cranberry Crush for lipsticks/gloss’s and Cherry Cheeks or Necter cream for blushes, so on and so on… just to add a spice to the names. As for the mascara they could be Ebony Eyes, or Midnight Lashes.
Being a military gal myself, I’d like to make a suggestion for the military women (and/or military brides)….combat boots.
I ***have*** to be Miss Hairspray!! How perfect for a former pageant girl!
I think a male applicant would be able to find an appropriate shoe, High-tops, boots, steel-toe, sneakers, top-siders, sandals are all either sex.
Condiments are cute, not sure how many you could get out of it though. Maybe Miss Mayo instead of Mayonnaise though it makes me think of Patty on Doug. Mustard, Ketchup, Relish, Mayo, Peanut Butter, Jelly, Horseradish, Pickle (dill?). It makes me think of a lot of others though, like herbs or cheeses.
For makeup my faves are
Mascara
Blush
Bronze
Shadow
Powder Puff
Lipstick
Lipgloss (or just gloss)
Miss Eyeliner/Kohl would be awesome. As would Miss Mary Jane, particularly for the more alternative brides.
For other categories, how about herbs like rosemary, oregano, paprika etc. Or maybe patterns like pinstripe, herringbone, check, tartan, polka dot. Items of wedding clothing like veils, gloves, corset, tiara, sash, cravat, tuxedo.
such fun ideas! i also think the above mentioned herbs would be a great idea too (maybe for ‘09)
miss mascara (love it!)
miss lippy
miss blush
miss eyeliner
miss bronzer
miss flipflops
miss stiletto
miss ballet flat
miss moccasin
miss kitten heel
Hm… I can’t say I like this shoe or makeup idea as much as what you’ve had so far, but for shoes, I’d love to see a miss mary jane.
I’m also not sure why you don’t think anyone would want miss eyeshadow or miss mascara. I think they work as well as miss lipstick visually, and there are certainly major devotees of both product types!
Miss Moisturizer?
I have a suggestion for the next group of bees: gems…Ruby, Emerald, Diamond, Opal, etc.
