My eyes don't pop!


I'm not a fashionista or a make-up artist, I'm me...I have a first edition of Emily Post....I dress modestly and simple...I prefer blacks and greys to orange and fuchsia. I prefer clear lip gloss to red lip paint. I wear very little if any make-up, I don't need it, I'm not trying to conceal or blend anything, not that my skin is perfect, but it is clear, soft and supple...lol... I don't stand out in a crowd, but once I smile, I am seen, by those who need and want to see me...
Last week, I was told by a ..."woman" that I need to wear some different eye shadows because I wear the same color everyday and "it don't match everything". Here I am, sitting and listening to a "woman" that piles make-up on her face and needs a drill to get it off. She arrives to work at 7:30am (hours are 8-5) just so she can put on her mask. The results...a mess...her skin is a crayon brown, but she wears an orangey foundation, her eye shadows match her hair, her shirt, her socks and probably her bloomers. From the tip of her eyelid to the top of her eyebrow there is a color...a lot of different colors. Glued on eyelashes, bright colored twitch (those that know her know what I mean), and blonde weave. Reminiscent of a laid off drag queen, but she was, supposedly, born a woman.
So, I guess my mild colored eye shadow was not enough for her...she states "you eye shadow should match your hair" WTF!! Is that what your doing..OK... in that case I'm doing pretty good my hair is a mixture of browns (naturally).
She offered to do my make up for me one day!! In the great words of Miss Sophia (Color Purple) "I said, Hell Naw", she not about to drag me up!...lol...

Hey, we can't all do it like she do it!
My lips is popping if my eyes ain't...lol

  1. LOL, your eyes aren't poppin. Maybe you need to extend your show up to your eyebrows and then you will be just like her. Just don't let it leak into your eyes, I heard it can cause a twitch.

  2. Your eyes do pop! Clearly some people don't know what classy looks like.
