Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Moisturizer doesn't count as makeup does it?

Tinted might. I extend mine with Photo Finish, which pretty much does.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I wear make-up if I'm going out or performing (which includes classes and auditions). Otherwise, eh, sometimes I get into a mascara mood for a week or two.

My apartment is mostly decorated along the lines of "how can I make a 10 1/2 x 13 1/2 space a liveable home without going mad."

So? C'mon, Pete needs you to live near-by so he can sketch you if he needs art reference for fierce women.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I will only wear mascara if I have the time to heat my mascara curler, because they just stick straight out. But at work, I always wear Photo Finish, foundation, blush, and eye shadow, and rarely any more or less.

My home decorating scheme is: Shit Other People Gave Me.

I call mine Early American Garage Sale.

I don't think my clothes or my make-up will ever be an expression of my inner life -- at least those things would never come close to a full expression -- because it would be too much trouble. I don't like altering clothes, and almost everything I buy has to be altered. I have sensitive skin issues that limit my make up choices. All of those things can be overcome with time and money, but I don't want to spend the cash or the hours.

This conversation is making me browse Aromaleigh.com, which I *cannot* do, because I just bought a computer and am forbidden from buying anything else for the foreseeable future.

It is also reminding me that I have to go home and change before going to the TAR party, because my work-look isn't the way I want to look on television.

At best I put lotion on my face. I so do not have the makeup-wearing gene.

Okay, I don't have the 'just bought a computer' reason, but I really should not be browsing Aromaleigh.com either. I don't need more foundation yet.

Me. No skill at all.

I make an attempt with mascara and a lip pencil (for some reason, regular lipstick burns my lips, makes them peel), but that is all I have any kind of aptitude for. And the pencil? Wears off so fast, it's hardly worth it.

I end up wiping the rim left around my lips after my first drink with a 'at least I tried' resignation.
