So she started wearing a bit of eyeliner. Made her happy — she keeps saying “I have eyes!” (I expect you could do a whole long post on the glamour and history of eyeliner, which I notice is back, bigtime… the kids are doing the cat-eye thing I remember from old-time movies…)

Yes, eyelids and eyelashes (or lack of the latter) become quite a bit more—ummm—challenging as one goes down life’s road.

I never liked to wear lipstick, even when younger. It always felt and tasted funny to me, plus my natural lip coloring was dark enough that I didn’t really need it and the colors turned funny on me. I do wear gloss, or slightly-colored gloss, now and then.

Like the gal in this makeover. And my eyelashes stick straight out which makes them hard to see. When I was young, for a while I used an eyelash curler and then mascara, which, when done properly, does look good. But it’s not easy, I never got used to the contraption, and I did once mistakenly pull out my eyelashes with it! Mascara alone doesn’t seem to do much. I gave up on makeup a long time ago — even lipstick gives me problems, it always seems to seep in or rub off or look odd — but the older I get the more I want to make at least small efforts toward my appearance. Maybe I’ll try one of the new mascaras.

At least I finally found someone who keeps my hair looking great. In case anyone lives near Nashua, NH, Jeff at the J. Scott Salon is a genius with hair.

Of course, as even these makeover videos show, one of the best ways to improve both one’s face and one’s mood is to smile!

Agree about false eyelashes being a pain. I’ve never worn them in my life. Of course, when I was young there really was no need. Even at a more “mature” age, I think most people can still get a pretty good effect with mascara.

Only, now they make 1,001 different types of mascara. It’s dizzying. Lengthening, fattening, separating, etc. etc..

And not in the middle of the winter, of that I can assure you.

Are you suggesting that the apple is not the perfect facial accessory?

[the fmri scan studies over makeup and stuff is fascinating explaining the schizo behaviors of some that use it as it changes ones perceptions of self (hard to maintain an identity if you lose yourself in make believe versions of things that neer existed)]

As to seeing the kids fighting against browshirts BE the brownshirts, what makeup changed them? or are they really brownshirts in socialist costumes?

are we who we pretend to be, or who we are hiding what we are, afraid the world will find us to be not much of anything

And I enjoy these makeover posts. But false eyelashes are not “a bit more makeup.” They look natural, but they are a considerable effort to apply and remove. Imagine doing that every day!
