When did I become That Girl

[drunkoffthestars]

About a year ago, I took the 'grownup' step of actually buying some fucking makeup and learning how to fucking use it. I started out with the trial kits at everyday minerals, and happily used the trial sizes for freaking 4EVA. This time around, I finally sprung for the big kid size of the two things that I use the most, and then went wild on the 'eye colors' section.

I am now the proud owner of SPARKLY EYE MAKEUP. I think you are supposed to use it as a shadow, but eff that noise. Sparkly eyeliner ALL THE WAY. Since it is just a powder and you apply it with a damp brush, I'm not too sure how well it will stand up to a night of fun, but SPARKLES! My favorite so far is a nice sparkly dark green, but I also got a basic black, and there is a gray one with shimmer and a blue.

Now I just have to figure out what a person does with a 'crease brush'.

IDK when I got so excited about this stuff, you guys.

Because make up is fun! ::grins:: See, when we were kids they just told us not to draw on ourselves, but now? Encouraged!

It is fun! Just, you know, unexpected. It probably helps that my skin has cleared up a lot, and I've finally found makeup that a) I can apply and b) doesn't make me break out more. srsly, I think liquid foundation/concealer/base whatthefuckever is the tool of the devil.

::laughs:: I like my liquid foundation, but that's just because I wear the theatrical stuff. I've used mineral foundation before, and don't like it as much.

It does really, really change your perspective when you find product you can live with, I totally agree.

::nods:: Oh yeah, some of the oilier stuff is just super streaky 'cause it separates. I hate that. Blech! The only liquid foundation I really like is a) the one I use from Make Up Forever. I've never found one that didn't make me feel like I was wearing pancake make up all day.

Also, forgot to say, a crease brush is, basically, for middling detail work in the eye, to create depth of color. It lets you trace around your eyeball without getting so much of the eyeshadow in places, like the browbone or the ball of the eye, that you might not want it yet.

ha, that was probably part of my problem! I have Very oily face skin.

ooo, ty! Eye shadow is still confusing to me, though no longer enraging. I'll leave that one in reserve for the moment, I think.
