I love make-up. I love products, brushes, paints, lacquers and lipsticks. I believe every lie they tell you about firmer skin, youthful glow and celebrity lookalike.
But I am not super adept at application. I get distracted, (what?, what's happening?) or hurried or just bored. Later, I see people who actually take the time to artistically put on their make-up and think, "Wow. Pretty....." I also whisper a solemn vow that the next day, I will take time to learn to apply eyeliner that resembles a straight line and not a fault line on a map.
No. Never happens.
When I was 14 and gave in to wearing make-up at my Mother's insistence, I, was taken to the Clinique counter for the following:
1. Moisturizer
2. Blush
3. Mascara
4. Lip gloss
5. Toner/Facewash
The sales girl also sold my Mom on something called an eyeshadow base, which was funny, because I was not getting eyeshadow. However, this would brighten my eyes to give them a little glow. It had a faint appearance of glitter, so I am shocked my Mom let me get it without a lecture about how I present myself is what I will attract and not making mention of the word "whore."
I still have my go to make-up pro's who tell me what to wear color-wise. They also show me how to apply. But let's be serious; there is lots of loud music and shiny stuff in those places. It's like taking me to a bar to teach me Algebra.
But one of the blogs I read shared this gem. And I am mesmerized. It is like watching an older sister get ready for the prom. The tricks are really simple, reasonable and not overly time consuming. This girl is also really generally cute, so she can wear anything.
Now, if you want a real life pro and you are local, you need to check out this gal. Not only is she uh-mazing, but she is one of the nicest people you will ever meet.
Also, this kid is available. But not with a guarantee.
