High school (in the South, not sure if that is relevant) was the only time I've worn daily makeup. I wouldn't say I felt like I needed it to cover any flaws, I just needed it because that's what you do, wear make up and curl your hair and put together an outfit that makes a statement every day.
All of that went away, or became very occasional, when I went to college. I've kind of wanted to get back into the make up habit on occasion, for extra polish or confidence or whatever, but all I've managed to do is buy some and then not wear it, really.
I think I'll make myself a caipirinha.
Mmm, I think you should. My new favorite cocktail.
I started wearing foundation a couple of years ago, and now I really feel like I look significantly worse without it. Which may or may not be true.
Me too, only I started wearing it more than a couple years ago, more like a decade or so. And I have confirmation that I look worse without it. Inevitably when I'm barefaced someone comments on my having gotten too much sun.
General question: If you had to do just one, would it be lipstick or mascara?
Neither, it would be face powder or powder foundation (see above). If it was one of those on top of the other, experience says the answer is mascara.
Lipstick, I would give up.
But not a tinted balm. (See how I cleverly circumvented that?!?)
I love mineral powder foundation. Not sure if it looks good on me, but it keeps my skin from breaking out.
Owen just saw a Nationwide commercial and said, "Hey, my dad used to work for Nationwide. Was he an agent?"
I told him, "No, dad is an actuary. Do you know what an actuary is?"
"Of course! Ron Stoppable's dad is an actuary!"
Yeah, but what about the haircut?
I did not go short today, dude. You would only be disappointed.

You never disappoint me, shrift.
There is a certain rightness in the world, and you are its true north. A kind of cranky competence in stylish leather pants, and a fabulous dinner menu.
Owen's friend's mom just told me on Facebook that he's sent her a Google Calendar event invite to lunch at 5:30 a.m. tomorrow.
*facepalm*
General question: If you had to do just one, would it be lipstick or mascara?
Mascara. My eyelashes are long but they're light, they disappear without enhancement. I don't wear lipstick because they all dry my lips and I end up chapped. Besides, all I need is a half a drink and my lips will be on fire.
