[Girly] Makeup Experiment

mood:

cheerful

music: Alphaville - Red Rose (Single Version '88)

So, I've had a bad week. And next weekend, I have to meet with editors and all kinds of stuff. So I decided to go get makeup and actually try to be kind of girly. Normally, I wear at most lip gloss and a bit of mascara, and more often just Chapstick. :P

So I went and did the consultation, found out all my colors. Whoot!

So here are two pictures...

At computer (800x600 JPEG)
Head shot (800x600 JPEG)

I feel weirdly girly. But I think these colors work for me. (Even if they make me look about 18.) And this is even the sweater I'll be wearing next week when I meet with the editors. So!

Actually, those stockings work really well for you; you have good legs for them! I hope the 31st went well?

Cool! I still need to drag you to the Fremont market someday, but... well, in this rain, a lot of the vendors are packing it in for the year. It'll be better in the spring again, though it's still fun even in the rain. :)

(Also, if you're ever up this way again, I /still/ mean to get the original of at least one strip from you. Though, er, I've changed my mind on which one. As a prospective writer and all, certain recent Millie strips...) ;)

For some reason, that look is really familiar. I can't put my finger on it, though.

Pretty! :) I especially like the lipstick!

Which products are you using? :) Where'd you get your consult? Looks good!

I went to the Cliniqué counter, 'cause I like hypo-allergenic non-scented makeup. And in those shots, I'm wearing: foundation, eye shadow (two shades), eyeliner, mascara, blush, lip gloss, and lipliner.

All of them are very subtle colors, save the lip gloss ('Tender Heart') and lipliner ('Honeystick').

I wonder if they'd help me at the Clinique counter.

I'd assume so, honestly.

Oh... my!

That also works especially well with that turtleneck.

Thanks. I love this turtleneck. I found it for like $10 at Fred Meyer, of all places. And it's sturdy and comfy!

If it works on you, the source is unimportant. Especially if It really works.

And there is everything right with looking younger when you dress up.
