So when I do my 50s day dresses with lace panels I'm still the kinda tall black chick with no hair dressed like Doris Day.
Which is, if I may say, an awesome thing to be.

I think I quit using undereye concealer about the time I probably actually started needing it... One recent visit to my parents, my mom actually asked me (after I'd washed any makeup off my face) if I'd been rubbing my eyes because my eyeliner/mascara was under my eyes. No, mom, that's just the genetic gift you gave me plus some ancient sun damage. (She didn't mean it rudely, and part of it was the lighting in the room. )
She's pretty clueless about makeup. She's figured out eyebrow powder as hers are fading, and wants to try eyeliner like one of her sisters (who has some kind of wet/dry powder she gets in Egypt) , but can't manage to wield it like she wants. Other than that, just lipstick. She's never really worn makeup, and I'll catch her watching me apply mine, fascinated by the strange ritual. And I really don't wear that much: foundation on any stupid red spots, a light powder, eyeliner, mascara and maybe a hint of eyeshadow that really is pointless, cause it doesn't really show. And lipstick.

Maybe one of these days, I will post a photo of what I look like before concealer, eyeliner, and lipstick. Pete says he doesn't think I look that different, but I disagree.

Maybe you need a few good wigs, ita. Just to play dress up.
I never thought I'd want to wear a wig, but now that I have a little girl I see wigs in a whole new light. I walk by a wig shop and think, "pink! I want one in pink!"

Gah! How can anyone not know about the red Swingline stapler in Office Space?

YES. I love the way you look, especially in the 50s day dresses. It makes me grin.

Pillbox hat? Or maybe I just like a woman who can kill with a pinky finger and wears a veil made of netting.

to throw my face into slightly softer focus.
Ayup. Me with powder (and foundation on the red shit) is pretty much still me, with 50% less blotchy. Even if it doesn't quite last all day (my face is oily.)
