I eased into foundation with tinted moisturizer, which I bought at a department store, so they picked the color. Now I wear drugstore liquid foundation.
It's called a blaster, Will, a word that tends to discourage experimentation. Now, if it were called the Orgasmater, I'd be the first to try your basic button press approach.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
I never wear wet foundation or use moisturizer. To this day, I have oily skin and acne. I wear a powder foundation and eye liner. I only use more, like shadow, mascara and blush for special occasions. I never wear lipstick because I have yellow teeth and my lips are naturally kind of maroon. I use a lot of plain old Chapstick.

an overblown libretto and a sumptuous score/ could never contain the contradictions I adore
Possibly my aversion to foundation is a freckle thing? When I've worn it, I kind of think I look like a wax dummy of myself. Possibly this means I'm doing it wrong, but I find my lack of freckles disturbing.

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

Same here. There's not really any blemish I could cover over that wouldn't also blank my freckles, and then who would I be? They are, despite the fact some people don't notice them, integral to my impression of my face, and my familial resemblance. They help me look like the Moulton branch of my mother's family. It's the only family resemblance we have, and it's pretty pervasive, so I don't give it up lightly.
I have to keep hydrating. I don't want there to be another vein fiasco at the ER tonight. I don't want there to be any kind of fiasco, but this I have some minimal whit of control over. plump up me veins. More juice it is.

You have a point, what with it not being the 17th yet.
Juice!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
The Kevin Aucoin books are good for make-up info. When I do full make-up I do shading I learned from them to make my bone-structure look better than it is.
Seconding this rec. Making Faces is a complete primer on makeup.

Maybe you just need a more sheer foundation? It would let natural variations in skin tone - like freckles - show, but even out skintone overall. I don't like that "mask" effect either.

Whew, thought I was missing a special stealth pilot episode or something.
Much hydration and no fiascos for you, ita.
I feel like I have some kind of obligation to moisturize as a woman over 40, but I can't get in the habit. And I tend to forget sunscreen. But I think my face is holding up okay in spite of my neglect.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
I was listening to my wayback machine (aka iPod) the other day, and Kris Kross came up.
They'll make you jump, jump.
Mm, Diniverse.
Oh, yeah.
Y'all, I had a burger for dinner tonight that was topped with goat cheese which had dark chocolate shaved into it (the goat cheese, that is), and also topped with mushrooms cooked in a sauce made with stout beer. OMG. SO GOOD. If the chocolate had been sweet, or if the chocolate-to-cheese ratio had been skewed more toward the chocolate side of the ratio, it would have been nasty. But they got it SO RIGHT.
I couldn't have it on a bun, so I wonder if the bun would have made a difference, and I'm thinking surely it had to. I don't know if I would have liked it on a bun.
