Confession:
I don’t wear makeup on a daily basis. I don’t wear moisturizer, and I wash my face every 2-4 days. I wear makeup about once every two weeks. (This was the case even when I worked in a schmancy corporate office.)
However:
I am addicted to purchasing makeup. (Not as often now that I rarely leave the house and refuse to buy makeup at the grocery store.) I don’t get face makeup or powder. I get lip gloss and lip stick. The best part? I HARDLY EVER WEAR LIP GLOSS OR LIP STICK. I just think that some day I’m going to happen upon some sort of magical lip gloss that doesn’t wipe off and makes me look all fantastic and whatnot.
I also like sparkly and shimmery eye makeup. Especially crazy-ass eyeliner colors. I used to go out of my way to find reasons to wear that stuff, but these days um. Again, with the only leaving the house to buy milk.
When I have somewhere to be, I have a pretty specific makeup routine.
- Tarte cheek stain in Blushing Bride
- Mac Studio Fix
- Revlon Eye Creme stuff in shimmery nudes
- two coats of black mascara
- some sort of mostly-nude lip gloss
Sometimes I go with Smashbox’s magic gloss that does a mood lipstick type thing. I also got some crazy Avon stuff on sale last Christmas and I wear it once in a while (it’s a cheek shimmer) but I have a really cheap shitty synthetic blush brush and the last few times I’ve tried to use it I’ve ended up with clown-like dark circles on my cheeks.
If I’m going out at night I’ll wear a little eyeliner, but eyeliner in dark shades looks way too stark on my eyes. (I prefer deep greens and and blues won’t you let me go down in my dreams, and rockabye sweet baby James.)
I only wear lip glosses cause when I wear dark or matte shades I look like Cruella DeVille’s little sister.
Also, I have a super fuzzy face, so any sort of liquid foundations make me look like an ape woman. However, I’m looking for a good concealer/coverup. Recs? (If you’d like to come over and wax my upper lip for me, feel free. I’ll pay you back with tequila.)
As always, drop yourself on the Mr. Linky to play along. OH WAIT. MR. LINKY IS BROKEN. Sigh. Drop yourself in the comments and I will add you when Blenza rises from the ashes. Don’t forget to visit your fellow Girl Talkers. (Speaking of which, I still owe people comments from last week. Because I suck.) Every week you participate gets you an entry into the next drawing for $25 at Eden Fantasys, the sex toy shop that pays me to write about dudes fucking dudes and lets the Bloggess write about clown porn. If that doesn’t make them awesome, I don’t know what does.
So what’s your makeup routine?
