I put on makeup today at 12:30. Because I hate lipstick, this was eye makeup only.

By 2:30 (in the intervening two hours, I sat quietly and did embroidery, drove somewhere, and had an interview) it looked like Rocky Raccoon.

By now (because I fundamentally don't care enough whether the nice people at Trader Joe's like my makeup or not) I strongly resemble whatshisname from My Chemical Romance.

I will be killing myself now. I am not sure if this urge comes from the fact that I fail the estrogen test or that I know that there is a band called My Chemical Romance that has a lead singer that wears a lot of eye makeup. And if it's the latter, it'll probably be because I have just failed the age test and am, in fact, an adult. Legally, I will be required to buy a cane and hit people with it. When not hitting people with my cane, I will be required to start sentences with phrases like "You younguns today don't know what it was like in MY day..."

Also, I have statistically determined that the only situation in which makeup stays put is when soap and water is applied to it.

Every time I wear makeup I basically wind up hating and regretting it.

Heh.

There's just no point to it, really. But sometimes I have to remind myself of that. Then I have to slap myself for reminding myself, and so it goes on.

Looking like Rocky Raccoon is exactly the reason I got my eye-liner TATTOOED on. Best $100 investment EVAR.

But you will like hitting people with a cane, so is this a bad thing?

[channonyarrow.livejournal.com]

Um...no. Not entirely, no.

Damn you for your logic. Come here so I can hit you with this cane.

Extra horror: said eye-makeup-wearing-guy is older than you. Though not quite as old as Billie Joe.

Oh no he's not. According to Wiki (which we all know is totally unflawed, of course) he was born 4/9/77. My birthdate, never to be revealed in my userinfo because it drives people like bds_fic insane, is 10/14/76. Still, it amuses me, as it does with Marilyn Manson, that someone so very edgy and etc is a whole lot older than the people he speaks to. It reinforces my belief in cynicism of the elders, where they've figured out how to get you young whippersnappers to buy anything.

Same here on the make-up thing - I only throw some on when I'm going out to the club and even then I think it looks a bit off.

Normally I restrain myself to club occasions for it, but this was speshul makeup for a job interview. And by speshul, I of course mean "black eyeshadow", which is the only colour I will admit to owning, though my mother sometimes, in her attempts to get me interested in makeup, will give me stuff that she gets for freebies in the wrong colours.

Oh, no, wait. I have a whole stacking tube thing of silver and green and metallic blue eyeshadow too. But I only wear black.

Don't you just love that about makeup. Although a year ago I went to MAC counter and the guy there put makeup on me and gave me this gunk to put on under my eyemakeup so that it wouldn't melt... and it works! Gotta love the MAC.

Only $50 a tube!

[ex-gasmask541.livejournal.com]

Too true. Gotta hate that part of it. =S I only got to buy the makeup because of my tax return.

[channonyarrow.livejournal.com]

Ooh, I'll have to check that out...as soon as I have a job and can afford makeup. Especially stuff that costs $50 a tube. Surely it is not just me that thinks this is highway robbery?

[ex-gasmask541.livejournal.com]

To be fair, it was more like $18. Still damned expensive though.
