I hate it with an unholy passion, rivaled only by the fervent hatred fundamentalist Christian's have for... well a lot of things. It adds 15 minutes to my morning routine, 5 to my end of day routine and that's 20 minutes I could be... I dunno... cleaning my kitchen.. starting a new blog... knitting... sitting around naked watching porn.
Even after 2 months, I still forget myself and smudge my eye makeup while rubbing my eyes. Don't get me started on lipstick! Lipstick is the most useless invention in the world... even the 'lip stain' that I purchased that by all accounts (both by the manufacturer and independent testimonials) is supposed to last longer. What a money making scheme - put something on that will wear off and or be eaten off within minutes, necessitating that you use more. If I put it on at the same time as the rest of my makeup, I forget it at home and go without the rest of the day. If I keep it in my purse, I forget it entirely. If I've got one in each place, I inevitably lose one. The only time I remember to put the @#*& stuff on is in the elevator going up to see LD, and I'm sure that it only lasts as long as our first kiss.
The only positive to this (if one can call it that) is that is hasn't wreaked as much havoc with my complexion as I had feared it would. I suspect that this is because I'm using mineral powder foundation and only using concealer on days that I see LD.
I still 'get' the purpose of all of this, and I still do it... hell, I found myself in the makeup aisle at Shopper's the other day picking up a new shade of eyeshadow... I just still hate it, and no matter how much of a routine or second nature this may become... I can't ever imagine myself enjoying it. Not to mention, I suck at it. Make Up Artistry will NOT be a fall-back career. I do sort of envy the ladies who can do amazing dramatic eye makeup, or emphasize or minimize certain features... but it honestly seems like there are better things I can be doing with my time. Like porn.
