I hear you, Connie. I don't have children and I hate shopping with a passion but I have an interest in make-up out of total necessity. Since I started going grey at 15 or 16, that included the eyebrows and eyelashes. And when you combine very pale skin and very blue eyes with almost invisible eyelashes and eyebrows, if I don't wear make-up, I tend to frighten people. I look like a ghost with big blue orbs.
To commemorate a past event, you kill and eat an animal. It's a ritual sacrifice, with pie.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Me, it's kittens I don't get. I mean, I get that they're cute in theory, but I wouldn't want to actually have one. Pictures will do just fine.

I don't understand the crease concept either. But because of all this convo, I put on lipstick this morning. Which looked weird alone, so I was forced to put in contacts and eyemakeup.
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.
it budges on me. Moostly right at first, but....

I feel the same way. Especially before I colored my hair (darker), I felt like, without makeup, I just sort of faded away. Lightish hair, light eyes, lightish brows, very fair = invisigirl.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
I have to powder the 24/7 (especially Zero), and it still moves on me when I'm working (oily lids + dishwasher steam + sweat = makeup budging), but it's still the best I've tried.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Who's a famous chick with helpfully shaped eyes who looks good to you, Liese?
Would Kim Yu-Na or Mao Asada do the trick? Both have scads of shots because of the Olympics, and always looks sort of fresh and not overdone.

I'm getting the pig!
But... they're kittens! With the mewing and the purring and the soft fur and big eyes. Cute!

Now tagless for your comfort.
I was wrong about the MK eye makeup remover. It's oil free. My sis gets it for me at dealer cost so I don't pay more for it than anything else.
I also love UD's 24/7. Although I've recently tried Cover Girl's shadowblast stuff and like it.

Nicole - I echo the Urban Decay 24/7 love. If you wanna hit Sephora together, let me know.
Just got home from a meeting at school for the 8th grade DC/NYC trip. Looks like it will be a small group - maybe 15 kids. CJ is so excited. This may be his only Christmas gift from me. While pulling the money together may be a challenge, it is something I really want him to be able to do. He is going out to Cali for Fall break with G'pa next week - hoping that I can get G'pa to contribute too.

Ahahaha. See, I am all of that. Makeup, fake nails, kittens, cats, babies (other people's,) hair dye, salons, heels, but I do draw the line at shopping. It makes me cranky. And I really need to replace my winter wardrobe. And the makeup and hair after swimming, I don't bother. My neighbors are more used to me without than with. I used to not go out without full hair and face, but now I don't care (seeing how I looked good in pix in Nepal emboldened me.)
Basically, I've gotten to where I don't HAVE to be or do anything wrt image. I do what I want, no explaining. WYSIWYG at any given moment.
