I have never been the kind of person who wears makeup every day, or even every week or every month. I don't think I've used any makeup since my son Ian's wedding three years ago, to be completely honest.
All of the makeup I own has gone manky, crumbly, melty, scary looking. Today I threw it out.
As a teen, I used Wet and Wild, which had every item they sold priced at a dollar. The quality was about as you'd expect, but hey, I could afford it! As an adult, I used to buy expensive cosmetics. Mary Kay, Sephora, etc, for those rare times I would wear it. And I would buy it ALL: Foundation, concealer, powder, three dozen shades of eye shadow, blood red lipstick, two shades of blusher, brown pencil eyeliner and black/brown mascara.
I knew how to use the stuff, and had a pretty good hand with the makeup brush. I liked the result and how I looked in it. I did not like the fuss and bother involved. The twenty minutes in front of a mirror, the serious skin care needed every day to prevent damage to the skin due to cosmetic use, the witch hazel scrub every night to remove the makeup and dry the zits the crap caused if I used it daily.
Lately, my lips have been chapping for some reason. It's annoying, and I was about to buy some chapstick when I remembered how very much I hate the taste of the stuff. So I bought a couple of 98 cent dark blood red lipsticks instead. Because I wanted to.
I won't be using any other cosmetics, can't be arsed. But I look forward to the arrival of my FrankNFurter red lipsticks. :)
