I have never been one for makeup and fashion.  I wear clothes that I find comfortable and IF I wear makeup, it’s only for special occasions.  This means what makeup I do have is very, very old.  At least it was until today.

     I knew I needed to toss the old stuff.  I knew I needed to buy new stuff.  The PW conference is approaching fast.  However, I hate shopping.  G finally convinced me that to get rid of all that old makeup and go purchase some new stuff.  She dragged me kicking and screaming into the makeup aisle and proceeded to help me find the right products.

     She showed me lip stains.  “Here, this is what I use.  It’s easy and it lasts.  Let’s find a color that is right for you.”

     I picked up one I thought was pretty.  “How about this one?”

     “No, it’s wrong for your coloring.  Here look at this one.”

     We found two she thought would work for me.  They went into the cart.

     “Now you need some eye makeup.”

     “Really?”

    She heaved a sigh.  “If you’re going to dress up to go out to dinner you should wear it, yes.”

     “Okay.  What one?”

     She suggested two but I stuck to my guns on that after all the last eye makeup I had lasted far too long and I shouldn’t have been using it.
