You know you can perm your eyelashes.

::blink::blink:: Ummm, I'll pass.

My life these days...work, karate, homework nag, karate, work, drive CJ hither and yon, karate, work.

What is missing from that? Cooking and keeping up the house. Ah well. Another day, maybe.

You know you can perm your eyelashes.

Yeah, when I die! Eesh.

I don't have leave the house makeup. My I'm doing makeup makeup is L'oreal mineral powder concealer and powder, Smashbox bronzer & highlighter, Smashbox eyeshadow, 24-7 eyeliner, random lipgloss. I need new lipgloss.

I have short, sparse eyelashes, but the Latisse thing about possibly changing the color of eyes freaks me out.

Me too! I asked my dermatologist about it, and she said that she hadn't seen it or heard of it happening. The incidence of eye pigmentation darkening with the glaucoma medication (Lumigan) was less than 1% (from what I've read), and Lumigan is applied directly into the eye, in much higher concentration. I couldn't say it can't happen, but as far as I have been able to find out (and I did research it before using it!), there are no reported cases of this actually happening with Latisse. I used it for almost a year and my green eyes did not change color, so there's an n=1.

My everyday makeup is moisturizer with SPF 30, a liquid or cream foundation (depending on the weather, i use different brands, all with SPF), Bare Essentials Mineral Veil (SPF 25), sephora or clinique blush, Smashbox eyeshadow, Sephora liquid liner, Iconic Mascara, lip liner, lipstick, lipgloss (I layer a lot of colors/brands on and blot a lot).

I love putting on makeup.

I don't have leave the house makeup.

I'll leave the house without makeup but I am reflexively putting on the MAC Del Rio lipstick before I am even to my car. Summer is nice because if I've tinted and waxed my brows, I can flick on powder, lipstick and sunglasses and feel actually put together.

I'm pretty much wearing sunscreen all of the time too. But if I am going to be in sun more than vaguely, I layer things on my face and apply it all over. And hands. Hands totally show age!

I have a little bottle of lotion with 15 sunscreen in my car and I've tried to get in the habit of getting in, buckling up, turning on my car and then applying lotion before I even back out. It's enough time to let the air con start and my music start and me to think about where I am driving. Sunscreened hands!

Hands totally show age!

And neck and decollete! I pretty much sunscreen/moisturize anything that shows.

You know you can perm your eyelashes.

I'm scared to have them dyed, never mind permed!

leave the house makeup

Everyday makeup is concealer, mauvey-rose tint on my eyelids (tones down the brown pigmentation), eyebrow pencil, and mascara. Going-out makeup adds foundation, powder on the nose, eyeliner, and Red Roses lip rouge. Even if I have nothing else on my face, I won't be seen by anyone without my eyebrows filled in.

Yesterday morning I got to see Wil Wheaton wearing a Cape of Dicks on stage with Paul & Storm, doing a dramatic reading of Wil's first encounter with William Fucking Shatner.

So Dragon*Con was pretty great.

I leave the house whateverthefuck I feel at the moment. For work, I do the full kit. After that?I don't even do my hair most weekends (but the cut lets me get away with that) and when do makeup then, it usually unnerves people. I've gotten where I'm comfy howeverdamn I please. I like it.

Also NARS Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in Damned. Which sounds very Jilli.

I think I've looked at it and decided it wasn't dark enough for me. waves GothCard

leave the house makeup

There are two versions. The OH CRAP MUST GET READY FAST version: SPF100, eye cream, NYX concealer, OCC tinted moisturizer on my nose and chin, darken my eyebrows, Urban Decay "rockstar" liner on the lower lashline, NYX liquid liner for winged-out liner on the upper lids, Make-Up Forever Aqua Smokey Lash mascara, and W&W "Cherry Bomb" or Kat von D "Homegirl" oh G-d I hate the name lipstick.

The I have time to do proper makeup version is everything in the previous list, plus three colors of eye shadow: either Petunia, Apocalypse Pansy, and Star Bright by Aromaleigh, or Mylar, Sketch, and Sweetlust by MAC.

The NYX "Studio Effects" liquid liner is a dead-ringer for the MAC LiquidLast, but is half the price. It is insanely water - and crying - proof! And the MUFE mascara is the only thing that stayed on my eyelashes through the horrible first part of the year.
