I would have to draw the line at any makeup technique that requires me to aim a hair dryer at my face.
Not to mention WTFSEALANT.

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

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.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
aim my hairdryer at my eyelash curling thingie. I swear, I've had the convo with bon before...
I don't remember, but I def do this, and have for a while. Makes a huge difference.

Actually, when I am having sinus fun, a hairdryer aimed at my closed eyes is nice.
I blow dry my dry cat. He LIKES it. And helps with his old mancat dandruff. He likes it aimed at his face. I figure, he's probably so deaf, it gives him some ambient noise...

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Well, yeah, and it kinda doesn't help that the only makeup instruction I've ever received was Theatre Masks & Makeup class in college, which was an awesome class....you know what I should do is make casts of my face cast and practice on those!
Anyway, it means that I think about makeup in terms of shading and such, which is probably why I got the "it looks so natural" compliment. But it also means I have no idea what to do if I'm not trying to create an effect. Like old age.
Oh, and the other traumatic thing from that class was when we were supposed to find the color that matched our skin tone, and the one that undeniably matched mine was called, "Japanese," intended for yellowface. Eesh.

Yup, it does make a difference. If I am gonna do mascara, I have to do it because otherwise my eyelashes bother the shit out of me.
