For my birthday, Mom decided that I can wear makeup. I was pretty excited, but definitely not thinking of going all out. I knew that I would not be one of those people that wore every single piece of makeup available. Blue eyeshadow in not for me, I knew. Natural tones would be best. I had no idea.
Mom applied some eyeliner, eye shadow, and mascara. SCARY. I mean, I looked like I'd been in a fight.
I'm not sure exactly what the eyeliner did for me. Or the eye shadow, for that matter. I was too distracted by the ridiculous looking mascara. My eyelashes are HUGELY LONG! She said that I need to curl them if I wear mascara. Curl? As in, put actual effort into my appearance? I'm thinking not. I can go without. I looked like, well, Natalie Dessay in this picture, but worse.

I love her music- her makeup, not so much.
Right now, I'm thinking that my eye definition is just fine, and that my eyelids are just the way they need to be. Yep, I'm going natural.
The thing I really wanted to wear(and still do!) is concealer. That's it. But the ones my mom had made me look awful. A-W-F-U-L. I looked super tired, and it just made it worse. One of them was OK, but I would have had to wear junk all over my face, and it was really obvious that I was wearing it. I can't stand it when a person's whole skin tone is altered by makeup. Nuh-uh.
A lot of laughing went on during this. I looked like phantom of the night when Mom applied makeup to one half of my face.
My overall look with makeup? On drugs. I think I'm going natural for now. I'm still on the hunt for some concealer, but that's it. Maybe Tishmeister will have some suggestions.
I think we might go to the Bobbi Brown counter or something. I'm not sure, but I got money for my birthday, and I'm determined to find the right concealer. Initially, we were going to go and have my makeup done, but I'm kind of a "no-touchy" person. Besides, I didn't want to walk out looking like I needed a pole to match my face(Tishmeister will get this). We'll see.
Natural is the way to go.
This is to funny! Hilarious!
ReplyDeleteThe pole. This is coming back over and over again. :) This makes me smile. Grin goofiley, actually.
ReplyDeleteIf you remember, the original pole comment was that you wouldn't look hoochified in your sophies, even if you carried your own pole. I suspect the same is true no matter how much makeup you wear.
I applied it lightly. Very lightly. I'd like to apply it heavily for fun. I'd have to take a picture too. It would be great for a laugh.
