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.
Dawn: I thought you were adequate. Giles: And the accolades keep pouring in. I'd best take my leave before my head swells any larger. Good night.

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.

Anymore, I usually either do full-on make-up or no make-up, but always moisturizer, sunscreen product, eye cream.
Full-on is, heh, well, oil-control lotion (yes, over forty and still teenage levels of oil), primer, foundation (powder, creme-to-powder, or liquid depending), blush (glaze or powder, depending), eye-liner, eye shadow, mascara, brow pencil. Fifty percent of the time I use lip liner. Then, either lipstick or tinted lip balm with... yes, SPF. Colors vary. Usually takes five minutes. Ah, the benefit of years of practice.
I pretty much wear make-up unless I'm doing minimal human interaction. But there was a time in my life when I would not leave my dwelling for ANYTHING without full hair and make-up. Good lord, I'm so glad I'm past that. I mean, I love wearing make-up, and I do it. I just know now that I can go out without make-up and hair, and my world will not end and no one will point and laugh. Probably.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
The Latisse talk vaguely terrifies me. Because this is seriously the first time I have ever heard of this shit. In the couple of years since I stopped watching tv commercials, I've become some kind of hippie Rip van Winkle who a) is walking around with totally faily eyelashes and thus once again fucking up at being a girl and b) holy fuck the whole make billions on vanity drugs thing has gotten that bad?

And that reminds me, I want to start using concealer again on the red, little spider-veins (?) on the sides of my nose. They annoy the crap out of me. Does anyone else notice? Unlikely. But I do.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
And neck
Oh, dear lord, my neck. I am so recommitting to my nighttime goo. For my neck. Today I got all freaked out it was showing not just my age, but ALL OF THE AGE.

I just looked at it. Not brown enough for me. Heh. Our taste in lips is almost farce by this point.
Really, I just wear Pencil of the Beast and Del Rio. I need to accept that shopping for new lip colors is just not happening for me.
