I wonder, does anybody ever simply say peace-the-eff-out to nether-eye concealer?

OK, peeps…deep makeup thoughts correct now, because if I don't distract myself this morning, I'm going to sit down here thinking about the three hairline cracks I just found on my iPhone screen, in which case I risk condign stuck with a permanent crabby Filipino grandma frown for the rest of my life.

*SIGH!* In x years that $169 screen repair fee (OY VEY) won't matter, Karen. 🙁 Information technology won't thing. Just keep telling yourself that…

Then, concealer. Mine has been giving me major trubs lately, and I'm starting to think that not wearing information technology anymore might be a viable option.

Is that crazy? I'k virtually at the indicate where I'd rather look a picayune tired than have to argue with my under-middle expanse looking crêpe-y, heavy and direct-up dire. My once trusty combo of Make Up For Ever Ultra Hard disk Concealer and NARS Translucent Crystal Pressed Pulverization is doing nothing for me at present.

I KNOW.

And I've tried all my usual tricks to ready information technology — a dissimilar middle foam, blotting my skin earlier applying makeup, different primers, mixing in a couple drops of oil, couple drops of an illuminator — nil has worked. The area but looks thick and heavy.

Hmm… Now that I think about it, it could be because I've been wearing minimal base makeup lately, and the full-coverage nether-centre concealer event is contrasting too much with my tinted moisturizer.

That, or the universe but hates me, ha ha! Freakin' beauty gods and their HIL-AR-I-OUS sense of humour…

I wonder if I should but completely stop wearing under-centre concealer. A few makeup artists have told me that my dark circles really aren't that bad in the grand scheme of things. Maybe the intense darkness I see in the mirror is all in my caput? I am my toughest critic. I recognize that.

My plan is to dip my toe in the h2o, so to speak, with some tinted moisturizer this weekend. I'k not ready to quit concealing cold turkey, but I'thousand going to effort blending some tinted moisturizer upwardly into those inner corners instead of concealer, article of clothing that around for a flake, and effort not to scare whatever small children. We'll see how I feel by Sunday night.

Anyhow, has this thought ever crossed your mind? Have y'all ever idea about quitting concealer? Or have you quit information technology already?

Sabbatum Surfing: Interesting tidbits I came across this week

This is what makeup packaging looked like in ancient Egypt.
Despite its proper name, "dragon's blood," a trendy peel-intendance ingredient existence lauded for its healing and calming properties, isn't derived from actual, ya know, dragons. It comes from trees! — tree sap, to be precise.
Accept a peek behind the curtain at the creative process of makeup artist Peter Philips, creative and image director for Christian Dior Beauty (and old creative director for Chanel), and how he puts together fantasy-themed makeup looks for the couture runway.
Here are the products hair stylists recommend for doing calm color.
Hunter Harris, the author of this piece, firmly believes that more movies should portray teenage girls with peel that looks like real skin — pimples and all — and I agree. From the postal service:

"It feels important, then, that in the historic period of Glossier, the last yr has presented two adolescent heroines whose pare isn't pristine. In Eighth Form, out this calendar week, and last year'southward Lady Bird, we get to see two misfits whose pare looks like the skin of someone actually in high school…Lady Bird's cheeks, pockmarked with pimples, were the start matter I noticed about Lady Bird when I saw it. In that first scene, mother and daughter are in the car, driving home from a college visit, when a familiar fight erupts: Is everything her parents have worked to provide her wasted on her? Lady Bird rolls her eyes and looks out the window. You can see, e'er then slightly, a constellation of brownish spots imperfectly masked with camouflage. I thought information technology was a fault at kickoff, merely there they were in every scene: This was a existent girl, with skin similar mine."
This Oct 20th and 21st in Los Angeles, Sephora will be hosting its first-ever interactive beauty event — SEPHORiA. Information technology'll be two days of immersive, interactive physical and digital experiences and activities (along with enough o' products, obvs).

You So-Cal girls and guys are so lucky. Bluntly, I'm shocked that they didn't want to host it in Novato! Ha ha ha.
If your mom tells you that at 10 years old you're too immature to wear press-on stiletto nails, here is your solution.
Thinking about buying a designer knockoff? Maysa Razavi, an chaser with the International Trademark Clan, says that bargain hunters may not realize that they could be funding organized crime, and that "…the same people who are counterfeiting are involved in human trafficking and terrorism."

Side note: I just re-watched the Sex activity and the City episode where the girls go to Los Angeles for holiday, and Samantha and Carrie become to "The Valley" to buy a imitation Fendi handbag.
The author of this piece celebrates her wrinkles: "I've raised three children, run 2 marathons, maintained a career more than three decades, nerveless a cute grouping of friends and now accept the pleasure of enjoying five fabulous, fantastic grandchildren. It's been a wonderful life, and I've got the wrinkles to show it."

This is my friend Shannon's ring… And her lips in so many fun colors!
If all my upper division science classes were gear up to rap music, I'd probably have a PhD in chemistry correct now.
I'thousand anxiously waiting for the day when accordions make their way into popular music.

What are you doing this weekend? We opted against camping for now, simply maybe a piffling later in the season. We literally don't accept any gear at all — no tents, sleeping numberless, camp stoves, null. And so, have to effigy out what kind of camping we want to do first.

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen
