I am 52 and I am learning to use makeup. I just did not learn when I was younger. I do not have saggy skin on the face (and I am overweight which makes for tauter skin, I think) but have a problematic neck. Oh well. I have so far learned to use brow mascara and lash mascara and I remove them with baby oil followed by Vanicream cleanser. But it takes time. And in the morning, 10 minutes sounds like I will need to ramp up my skills acquisition to get there. I have bought all the products but have not mastered the routine yet and the specific application steps with brushes. A lot to learn.

I think I have been using them for two months now and only now, for the first time, I got noticed. And it was by my hairdresser who said she noticed the moment I walked in that I was wearing mascara.

I wonder, do other people not notice or do they notice and not tell me?

The hairdresser agrees that she notices more things than other people do.

When i wear eye makeup, people tell me i look more awake.

A fellow comedian once told me that my mother had big beautiful eyes, which i did not inherit - he said i had these little pig eyes. Its true, i have my dads eyes.

It takes me about ten minutes bc I have a routine and just decide between lips and eyes. Everything else is routine. I use serum and moisturizer with sun screen first, and then my splurge Chanel illuminating foundation. I use a tiny smidge of elf concealer under my eyes, and whatever lip stain as a blush too. I never contour etc. I usually don’t set with powder unless it’s a fancy occasion. I comb my brows up, put on eyeliner, eyeshadow, and waterproof mascara, then run out the door.
