MakeUp and the Middle Aged Woman

So, my party. Had a fab time. Food and company were great.

In anticipation of my big party at an adult restaurant, I decided to put on some makeup. I haven't worn full make up in about 4 or 5 years. I'm not talking concealer, a swish of face powder, eye liner and mascara. That's what I now wear for special occasion...or trials. Other days I confess that I've degenerated into wearing nothing but a bit of lipstick. Nope, I'm talking foundation, eyeshadow, and blush. the whole shebang.

Unfortunately I've notice some huge differences since I last wore makeup.

All I can say is thank god for my vanity mirror...that reverses to a magnification mirror. Otherwise, there would have been no way on the face of this earth that I would have been able to apply my eye make up. I literally couldn't see to do it.

What's worse, I put on my foundation, and noticed it kept getting caught up in ....frickin' crows feet and telltale wrinkles. I had fine streaks of foundation all around my face, that I then had to carefully rub out. Thank god I still had the mirror on magnification, otherwise I doubt I would have seen the faint lines.

God damn.

Who would have thought I could go to pot so quickly...just 5 years? Of course, they are the hard T years, so maybe that explains things. I'm placing the blame direectly at my daughters feet!
