Hi.

HI NILLY!

I got a makeover--well, a makeup application--once from the Paris representative of Stephane Marais and it was indeed revelatory.

Hi, Perkins!

and it was indeed revelatory

Do you find that you use the things you learned then, in your everyday life?

My roommates are quite determined to give me a makeover. They're determined for the last 3 years, in which one of them got married and therefore stopped being my roommate anymore, but the girl replacing her is even more determined. Maybe she will end up getting her way.

Do you find that you use the things you learned then, in your everyday life?

Well, not every day, because I don't wear makeup every day, but I do when I go out at night, and I totally use the stuff she taught me. Specifically, she told me I don't need to use foundation: she taught me how, with judicious use of concealer and a little powder, I can make my skin look flawless. And she used a neutral lipstick on me that I never would have picked for myself, because I believed that all neutrals made me look dead. I use that color all the time now. And I totes copy the way she lined my eyes--green on the inside, black on the outside--all the time.

Ooh, what does she want to do? I love a makeover.

Makeovers are fun, but I always end up buying lots of make up that I end up not using, so I try to avoid them.

Yeah, well there is that.

Yeah, that's pretty much what I meant in "your everyday life". But it's awesome that you do! Learn new things about yourself through somebody else's eyes and without being stuck in yours my own set of glasses, so to speak.

Ooh, what does she want to do?

Um, everything. If I let her, she'll cut my hair, make me wear makeup every single day, pluck my eyebrows and, oh, I don't think I even know the names in *Hebrew* of all the things she wants to play with on my head. None of them never went along with their threats, though, even though I'm perfectly willing to try.

Do you use others, or just none at all?

I don't think I've ever put makeup (other than for costumes and such, and even that only once or twice, as a kid). I don't speak that language. It looks like magic, to me. I remember once, seeing a perfessional who was really good applying makeup on the face of a freind on her wedding day. It started like my friend, then the makeup lady started putting colors on her face, various ones, mixing them up, and suddenly it was my friend, the same face, only each feature prettier, and I couldn't possibly tell how it was done, trace the process. Wonderful.

Do you use others, or just none at all?

I don't use much, though I have been using some of the stuff I bought this weekend with Plei and Jilli. Mostly I'm just lazy and not very good at applying it.

How does she want to cut your hair, Nilly? You have such gorgeous hair and such delicate features; I could imagine a million different cuts looking amazing on you.

I'm having a pro do my makeup for my wedding--I picked her because she did exactly what I asked for during the trial: she made me look natural, and like ME, and not too made up, just like a prettier version of myself. What sealed it was that when Saget saw me he couldn't even tell I was wearing makeup. And he HATES makeup.
