making up is hard to do

lashing out
i've got thick, long eye-lashes but they grow straight. i've always wanted them to curl. when i was younger, i used mom's mascara then "kiap"-ed my lashes, ripping the hair out as i released the lever. i swore off it. on my wedding day, i told the make-up artist to fit fake lashes on for me. she refused, die-die said no. she said NO to a bride on her wedding day! the trauma.

lip service
my viva glam V lippy just broke as i was applying it. i smiled when the stick snapped. then i caught myself smiling in the mirror. i was not mourning the loss of my lippy, i was thinking of a new shade i could buy to replace this one.

conceal her
concealer is my saviour. without this stuff, i'd look like the living dead, seriously. i swear by it.

shadow dancing
i love eye shadow. the smokey eye look is my fave. when i was in sec school, i used to sell make-up for pocket money during the hols. i worked for estee, ysl, lancome. thanks to the training and experience, i can do the full 3 colour spectrum in 2 minutes flat(both eyes) add another 30sec if need eyeliner.

*blush*
when i was in poly, i was all eye-liner and lip gloss. i wanted to expand my repertoir to include a blusher but didn't know neither how to apply nor what shade to wear. then my girfriend told me to jump on the spot till i flush up then choose a colour similar, for that natural look. she also said that if i had no time to apply blush, to pinch the cheeks till it changes colour. my advise is stop if it turns blue!
