Several weeks ago, I went to the M.A.C. store to get the
real lowdown on the Nude Lip. It was something I wanted to try, but I had
trouble finding the right shade that would work on me. Turns out what I had
gotten from Target two days earlier is very similar to what was tested and
purchased from M.A.C.
As she was ringing me up, the salesperson asked if I would
be interested in coming back for an appointment with a make-up artist. Sure. With
nude lips, the eyes are the focal point, so I figured I could learn how to make
it all come together.
My appointment was today. As I approached the M.A.C. store,
I heard loud music coming from the Center Stage of the mall. (Center Stage: where
Santa & the Easter Bunny reside during their respective seasons.) I think
the song was American Bandstand – or
was it The Twist? No matter. The
M.A.C. store had taken over. There were swing dancers and a kissing booth and
make-up artists galore.
Uhhh…my consultation is in the store, right? Not in the
midst of this loud hullabaloo? Away from all these people?
Wrong.
Because I had an appointment, I was moved to the front of
the line and given the next available slot. My eyes were applied; I saw each
step as it was put on. She even did a Smoky
Eye, which may be more trouble than it's worth. But it looks a'ight.

Of course I bought the shadow palette(Veronica).
And some blush (Betty). (It's so hard for me to find a blush
for the natural look. Yes, I'm aware some of you consider natural looking
make-up to be an oxymoron.)
I'll be rocking the new look on the opening night of
Pleasanton Civic Arts' Pippi Longstocking,
Friday, March 1, 7:30pm at the Firehouse Arts Center.
(That's right. Shameless plug. My opening night's
March 2nd at 7:30pm. I'll also be onstage 3/3 (2pm), 3/8 (7:30pm)
and 3/9 (2pm). Tickets are available at http://www.firehousearts.org/events/events-list.)
I might even try for a smoky eye.
