MMeO. Makeup results.

Well, the makeup went largely unnoticed, which is probably a good thing.

Friend 1 started ever so slightly when she saw my face, which I learned later was partly a moment of comparison dismay in the face of my dressier-than-usual appearance, where she wore comfortable jeans and a hoodie - looking very pretty, I must say, albeit not "fancied" for a night out.

Friend 2 I made the mistake of giving advance notice of the presence of the makeup and so all she noticed was the mascara and lipstick (barely), which wouldn't be so bad except that she's well exercised in face fashion and if mine were actually working to enhance, I think she would have noticed. It must be time for the visit to a professional!

I am going to set up an appointment with a makeup consultant at MAC cosmetics (the choice determined by the introduction - a friend of mine knows this guy). I'm of course super curious to see what colors he chooses for me - I can't really figure it out myself because while I have ivory pale skin, I have freckles, and where I have a blue undertone in my skin, my eyes waver between blue and green and, again, I have freckles. I am a pale/blue base with rosy/warm spots. Lovely. Browns are too brown, pinks are too pink. And I'm completely incapable of choosing the proper in-between. Also, I've never learned how to put the darn stuff on correctly. It is not easy, in case you weren't sure.
