"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I don't even know what "stop the purple" is supposed to mean.

I just mean, lots of those tutorials say stuff like put one color on your lid, then a darker color to the crease, then light color on the inside third, or whatnot. But I don't have the crease, so I don't know where I should put the darker color or whatever. But then I came across a few other things that said I shouldn't use that color order anyway. Which makes some sense, because that puts the primary color on the lid, which on me is almost always completely concealed.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Okay, I would have to draw the line at any makeup technique that requires me to aim a hair dryer at my face.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I've been trying to figure out how to get my eyeliner to stop leaving smudge marks on my upper lid but none of the tips (from friends or youtube) have worked, thus far. Stupid oily eyelids. (Yes, I've tried different eyeliners.)

Ooooh! I know this one! I had this exact problem my entire life! Have you tried Urban Decay's 24/7 liner? It Does. Not. Budge. [link] About 30 seconds after you draw it on, it just stays where it is. No more smudge marks on my upper lids. It's BRILLIANT.

t edit It requires no hairdryer.

I aim my hairdryer at my eyelash curling thingie. I swear, I've had the convo with bon before...

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Not to mention WTFSEALANT.

Okay, I would have to draw the line at any makeup technique that requires me to aim a hair dryer at my face.

Especially since I don't use a hairdryer, although I think I have one somewhere.

Because books.

I'm thinking about a Sephora trip to reward myself.

I went to Ulta today entirely because of this conversation. And bought new concealer and foundation and two new nail polishes.

I have to say, having to basically rethink all my eye makeup after conjuntivitus, led to a big improvement.

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

My reflexive reaction is "WTF? Where am I supposed to get a hairdryer?" But, you know, now I've thought about it.

My extremely fancy eye makeup techniques are all about shading like I'm drawing shadows on my face, which is why I'm all "Stop the purple? I only use brown and beige." No crease stuff, just highlighting the brow bone and darkening the...the dippy part towards the bridge of the nose.
