Oh, yeah. There was this time I was pinned down by this guy that played left tackle for varsity... Well, at least he used to before he was a vampire... Anyway, he had this really, really thick neck, and all I had was a little, little Exact-O knife ... You're not loving this story.

Art Crawl!!!

Love the hat!

Msbelle - someday. . . possibly after he has moved out of the house, Mac will appreciate you. Too bad it's such a pita before hand.

Still gray and yucky here. . . but I am feeling better. (For no good reason. . .)

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I can try, Zen, though I don't have a makeup doctorate like some people around here.

Hockey is great to see in person, doesn't translate nearly as well to television.

Absolutely! The speed just doesn't show up on the screen.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I have pale pinky skin and brown circles around my eyes. Every concealer I've tried either doesn't work, or leaves a tell-tale white ring around my eyes. The advice I've read online says yellow concealer will work, but I can't believe yellow would work on my otherwise mostly melanin-less skin. Help?

Nice dodge, Toddson.

Suzi, yay hockey yay!

I have not yet been called to report to jury duty. Two more days to go.

Thank god I work in a tech environment and haven't given a fuck about my looks in decades. I think the last time I wore makeup was some time in the '90s. I've been coasting on my genetics all my life.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

If it's white, then I think the shade is too light. Would it otherwise be okay if you covered it with powder?

Otherwise, I found this:

There is much debate as to which color of concealer works best for cancelling out those unsightly circles. If your circles are more blue-tinged, use a yellow based concealer one shade lighter than your skin tone. This color masks the blue discoloration and brightens the skin. If you have more brown colored circles, then use a peach or orange based concealer.

So I think your instinct about yellow is right.

Zen, you probably want a peach based concealer. I am a big fan of NYX HD Photogenic Concealer: [link]

You would probably want the color "Light", as their paler colors are REALLY pale.

You also might want to look at the Sephora house brand "Smoothing and Brightening Concealer" in "Peach". [link]

Thanks, guys. Powder around my eyes makes me look wrinkly. I'll try the ones you suggested, Jilli.
