Makeup Tip #5 Hard Habit to Break
Remember all those awesome Runway Looks I told you about. Boy did I have fun doing them on this beautiful flawless model. She looked amazing. Actually, she'd look amazing in a gunny sack..
These were my faves of the bunch. Now I you know you all wanna go out and buy orange eyeshadow and tomato red lipstick for spring right? Just kidding.
I myself find breaking the makeup routine difficult. Especially as I age. Yesterday, we were going out on a date, so I decided to try a new makeup look on myself. I used a product on my eyelids that I love to use at work and never use at home. It was a disaster, it looked aweful. Now tell me why is it I have trouble with makeup??? I'll tell you.. My face isnt young and flawless anymore. In fact I have very crepe-y eyelids, due to a bout with psoriasis in 2000 that was all over my eyelids and underneath my eyes. The only thing that made it go away was a cream that thinned out my skin so badly, I have 80 year old eyelids. I've managed to find products that don't accentuate the wrinkles. But Ugh! It sux.. Anyway I digress..
My point is, perhaps the same old same old isnt so bad. I decided to continue to live by my 5 minute rule. "If you can slap it on in 5 minutes and feel good about yourself, then you've done a great makeup." So what if you like your blue eyeshadow from the 80's, if you carry well... you go gurl..
So I'll pass on the orange eyeshadow this season, I might consider the lipstick. However the foundation, loose powder, blush mascara routine I've been doing since 1990 will stay with me for now...
See even I cant break the makeup habit.. Have you changed your makeup routine lately?

Now that it has hit the stands, I can share the Spring Fashion Shoot with you via Luxury Las Vegas Magazine.

Happy Monday and here's my post today!
I've tried expensive eye creams and found that the only difference was that I had less money.
And Bare Minerals stick to goo. Lovely.
Lipstick BLEEDS on me. WTHell did THAT happen?
Meh - I look like crap in lipcolor anyway.
(Do you get the feeling we could SO get together and blab, blab, blab? Oh yea.)
I changed my routine recently, BECAUSE I'M CHEAP.
And it's not successful.
I've got to nip that proverbial bud and restock my Bobbi Brown browns, stat.
I dig the flames coming out of the model's curvy-ness. Nice placement!
Missed you Saturday night!
