Makeup. I never was fond of the idea. Currently, I own only lip balm and was satisfied with it. But then my friends threw a cocktail party (as a farewell to me and others as well as my b-day) and I felt obligated to dress up. So Elena offered to help out.

Sometimes I wish I was male so there isn\’t this expectation. Most of my friends are surprised to learn a lot of what I don\’t do. Makeup being one of them. I have always found it rather deceiving. Without it, people ask why you look so tired. Of course, in social situations, with makeup, you\’re suddenly treated differently. It\’s a deception mechanism. We are all innately superficial.

When I first arrived at the party makeupless, Elena grabbed me and we rushed upstairs and she spent 30 minutes putting makeup on me. A combination of her foundation (and her skin is lighter!), eyeliner, lipstick, lipliner, light eyeshadow, mascara, blush. And not in that order. That eyelash curler thing scared me. This is all meant to be easy and look natural, but I never felt incredibly comfortable in it. Fortunately it was dark and it was…as I say an awesome party!

  1. haha yay for makeup.. although there\’s a difference between everyday makeup versus party makeup!

  2. I just have to say EWWWW to the sharing of eye makeup. I used to be that way about makeup, too, but then I started working and had to look more \”professional\” so I started to wear makeup so I wouldn\’t look like a student playing dress up. And then I got hooked on Bare Escentuals make up and now I love my makeup.

  3. good job lady. your eyelashes really seem to stand out. nice dress. when did you get ur brows done? it looks pretty good.
