Make-up, Grr! Options

Who else cannot stand make-up? I cannot, for the life of me, wear make-up. My sister is an expert but I am a total stintz when it comes to applying make-up. I tried to put on mascara yesterday. 'Twas horrible. Let's just say it looked as though I had a black eye. The fact that my eyelashes are really long and touches my glasses doesn't make me want to wear it often... or ever, really. Eyeshadow? Don't have the patience for it. Eye-liner? Hands aren't steady enough. Lipstick? Generally don't like lipstick. Something's wrong with this picture here. I'm not a tomboy either.

I totally agree...it's so annoying. I only wear makeup to make myself look significantly better in a shortest amount of time possible.

I have this cream eyeshadow in a stick that I just rub on, and mush with my fingers. It takes like 30 seconds and it looks way better than having nothing on my eyes at all, since the shimmery cream reflects light and makes my eyes (which are darker around the lids) look more healthy.

I always mess up eyeliner. Always. If it goes on fine at first, I know that 10 minutes later it'll leave gray marks under my eye (which is what happened today, and no one even bothered to tell me, so I looked like I got punched in the face the whole day. Yes, thanks a lot, some friends you are).

I don't like lipstick, either. Lip gloss annoys me too, since my hair gets stuck on it so often, and I hate having to reapply stuff. Oh, and it's almost impossible to play flute properly with lip gloss on. I slap on some lip balm throughout the day. Dry lips = not good.

That's pretty much it. I stick with the most minimal stuff for maximum effect.
