I'm in the middle of yet another one of my periodic and ultimately-doomed-to-failure experiments with makeup, and once again I'm kind of baffled by the whole thing
( Read more... )
I've started using mascara regularly and I don't even know why, except that I always feel vaguely unpolished compared to my friends and co-workers and I am starting to noticeably look like a woman in her 30s. I used to not leave the house without lipstick, and in the last 10 years, I have done away with it except for special occasion. I put some on today b/c I just got my hair done and thought it might be a nice effect. One that I likely won't maintain very well. :)
Foundation is tricky. I'm really pale and use the pale color, but it looks a little too chalky in the summer even though I don't tan. I'd suggest going to a counter and having them match you up. Get a sample, take it to the drugstore and see if you can get a similar shade. My best suggestion for blush is to get a blush brush and not use the brush that comes with the make-up. I love my blush brush. It makes a huge difference.
Personally, I wish I had the knack for eye shadow. I suspect I look like a little girl playing with mom's make-up when I put it on. :-/

Ha-ha. Weirdo. :)
