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

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I stood in Sephora and stared at the green Smashbox primer and kept thinking "It is green. I am yellow." Yet, I just stared at myself in the restroom mirror, and lo, I am red. It's just so damned GREEN.

Because books.
Do you mean the green concealerish stuff, ita? Because it works. I don't use the Smashbox stuff, but I have a green tone concealer and it's excellent for zits and other reddish places.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Green concealers have never worked for me. Instead of making my red zones look neutral, they make me look sickly. Of course, it is entirely possible that I am applying them wrong. But my foundation has good enough coverage that it makes me look even without making me look like I have a ton of make up on.

Yeah.
I understand the physics of it. I just can't get over the look of it.
Also, you know, I can just not look at my face, and then I forget about the fact that it's red.

Thanks for the Frontera info, guys. I really want to try to do lunch there when I'm in town for my college reunion, but it sounds like we'll need a backup plan at the very least.
Here's where I pimp the Gage on Michigan Ave. as a good alternate.

You know until a few comments from this haircut, I never thought I had good cheekbones.

msbelle, what's the lipstick color? I like that A LOT.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Aww, feel better, lisah.
And yeah, this is why I need, like, a city. That Asian clientele could totally help me. But I don`t have any near me! I`m sure there are great Japanese makeup sites, written by Japanese people. But I definitely don`t think it`s worth it to pursue. There`s one girl that does nail videos that I used for my brows because she`s Asian and awesome and was willing to leave her brows kinda heavy, just clean. I should see if she has an eyeshadow video. I don`t know why I`m so hung up on getting it Right. Getting it to look good should be my goal, and I can tell that.
Anyway, I wore light powder and blush and eyeshadow to teach today, and it looked okay. You could still see my freckles. I guess I should try to figure out lips next. Lips is what I think makes me look like a hoor, but I think I just need to find the right color.
