I do not know yet how to apply blush properly, or lip gloss. I apply mascara. I have gotten pretty fast at it after practicing for what probably has been two months. I apply brow mascara and lash mascara. For the blush, I have a brush but I am not a very dexterous person so I have yet invested time I will need to invest in learning. Still, I cannot imagine that for me mascara, and blush, and gloss will take less than a minute.

I also put on sunscreen and until I started with mascara, I would not wash my face. I just put Retin-A at night on most nights. On Saturday night, I apply glycolic acid and before that, I wash with a water-based cleanser and after the glycolic acid dries up, I apply CeraVe moisturizer. When I apply glycolic acid, I skip Retin-A.

Isn't that how our mothers' generation cleaned their faces, with Pond's cold cream?

I greatly enjoy the process of applying it, even though I do look good without it. I am hoping to learn the techniques and progress to a full face.
