Something I simply do not understand . . .

During the summer I wore powder, a little blush or bronzer, waterproof mascara and colorful smudgeproof eyeliner on days that I was going to be outside. Any other makeup would have melted off my face with the humidity we get here!

Yea I'm so with you on that! All those cute lonely products that would just be sitting in my drawers. I'd miss them too much.

But being that i work in midtown NYC- i just went downstairs to see if I could see someone. I saw one 'trendy' girl rocking this look - not a favorite of mine. It's very highschool/mid 90's.

I totally remember the Claire's liners and mascaras - that seems like forever ago

Darn, after 30, that is when my partying habits really got out of control with m/up.

...putting on shades from the m/up police...
​

It's really hard being in central lock up for m/up crimes. But, I don't claim to be innocent. I am guilty as charged.

Yes, they keep throwing the book at me. (((Sigh))) When will I ever learn?

...OH, the devil with the rules... Where is my Urban Decay glitter & Silver Fog Pigment? Truly, I can't control myself...

OMG this is so common in Atlanta, too, I cannot STAND IT! either that, or a nothing but a brow highlight. A GARISH, silvery or white highlight- nothing else! But of course, they are strangers, and I'd probably get cussed out for saying anything, no matter how gently and compassionately, so...

Well, maybe they'll pair it with lips lined with black pencil and slick with some silvery lipgloss. I don't understand it.

*gags* See my post above, LOL I SO relate. I don't even wear a full face too often and seeing this makes me so ill!

Yes, I would go into a sort of withdrawal. I love to play with all sorts of products and do wear all sorts of looks. I enjoy experimenting all the time. I can see how others can do it, but I was trying to create e/s before I was in the 1st grade.
