I've come to the conclusion that every day I wear makeup is experimentation.
Maybe just a fancy word for cr@pshoot?
@just bee Not a bad look. A little heavy on the rouge perhaps.
Well, that's what I mean!

I enjoyed reading about your experience! Funny!! That's really a good way to go through your makeup stash and pitch things that don't work for you.

It didn't look too good.
I thought, "well, I guess since this doesn't look great, I might as well go ahead and put on some of this undereye concealer I'm not sure about."
Then I looked at it and thought, "well, that looks like nothing at all. Maybe that undereye setting powder I always forget I have will help."
I opted to use the brightest shade of cream blush I have. Who knew it would go on so bright? LoL
So I got out the green neutralizing powder to see if I could tone it down.
I set the whole look with a powder I rarely use and some setting spray.
Then I went to the eye look. I have two green eyeshadow pencils I'm not sure about keeping. I chose one and applied it.
I never realized how the right shade of green can so effectively bring out the red in your eyes.
So I decided to bust out the liquid liner to draw a black line between the green and my allergy-riddled eyeballs.
I never wear liquid liner, but I did today, and I'm glad I had the little Elf liner on hand. It did help my eyes look better.
What an adventure!! Not only did I have a few laughs when I was putting my makeup on, but I also realized there are a few items in my collection that may need to go.
Do you ever have days where you mess around with items that have fallen out of use? I highly recommend it.
@mistriTsquirrel Sounds like a fun experience. I love to “play makeup”...feel like 12 yrs. old again. I never want to try a new look or different product when doing my makeup for the day...the horrors of starting over when in a rush!

@Shanus I sure wouldn't have done that if I was trying to get ready for work. Makes me think of people who try a new hairdresser the day before a wedding.

@mistriTsquirrel, thanks for the laugh! The only time I try something crazy is, occasionally. in the hour before bedtime. It gets washed off quickly!

@ItsME The only problem is, if you create something fabulous and aren't sure you can replicate the look...
I guess that's what "selfies" are for.

@mistriTsquirrel I was just thinking the same thing! 😜 Been there done that! Maybe we should take notes.

@mistriTsquirrel LOL! I agree! But, usually it's some experiment with a smokey eye look, and I think my eyes and face are just too small for that. I've yet to create something fabulous. .... But if I did, it's a certainly that I'd never be able to recreate it!!

It's happened to me before...I've made a great look and then couldn't remember how I did it later. ::sniff::
I went awhile without doing my makeup very much, so I'm experimenting a lot these days, and you're right...I should take notes.
Everyone should. I don't want what happened to me to happen to anyone else here, so please remember to take notes, ladies!!
