Suffice it to say, the shoes were a big hit last night. Perhaps too big of a hit, hah!
I meant to talk about makeup yesterday, but I ended up short on time and forgot. I’ve never been much of a makeup person. I didn’t start wearing any till my 20′s, and only sparingly till my late 20′s. This was a big stress in our marriage for a while. My husband wanted me to wear it more often, but my argument was that 1) I didn’t wear makeup in high school (when we met), and didn’t wear it when we got married, so why would he try to change me if that’s who he fell in love with? And 2) the only reason he’d want me to wear more is because he thinks I’m ugly. I call this one of our “cookie cutter” fights, because it was one that happened every few months, and the script was always the same. Same arguments on both sides, no resolution.
Another reason for my dislike of makeup was my sensitive eyes. Even a little bit of mascara caused my eyes to burn for days. It wasn’t until I got some Bare Minerals that I started wearing it more often, but I did (and still don’t) know anything about makeup applications, so it’s been minimal at best. This weekend I started looking around YouTube for some tutorials, and found this one. Looks pretty simple, right?
The number of YouTube tutorials for makeup is overwhelming, but this looks like a good start. I’m committed to becoming a pro! Or at least better than I am now, for cripes sake. MakeUpGeekTV has some good stuff too, worth checking out. I’ll post some results once I’m satisfied with the results.
Anyone have any good tips? Or guys, do you have a look that you particularly like?
