On the outside, I try to project an image of having it all together. But underneath that, I'm kind of a disaster. Hence... the name of the site: GlossyVeneer. Very Mom asked people to show their makeup bags and the contents of the bag. Since I’m too tired to organize all the thoughts flying through my head on any other post, I’m playing along. And I thought it was an entertaining idea.
My Makeup Bag:
I got this bag in 2001 at a Sephora on the Champs Elysees in Paris. Sounds fancy and exotic, huh? Truth is, the zipper on my makeup bag broke while there and I knew I needed something to contain the stuff before a return flight. So I bought a cheap makeup bag while out sightseeing.
The Contents of My Makeup Bag:
The photo on the Flickr site has notes applied to all the different objects. Basic idea is that I don’t usually wear makeup since I telecommute. I comb my eyebrows and apply a little powder to control shine. I have naturally rosy skin, so when I do go out in public I try to cover it up big time. That natural “glow” also makes me intensely afraid of blush because I don’t want to look like I’m embarrassed all the time. Unfortunately if I do blush during the day, it tends to stay that way the whole day unless I apply cold compresses. So I cover it up. If I had to declare a makeup MUST HAVE, I guess I’d say eyeliner. I’m weird that way, but I like to define the outside corners of my eyes a little. Not that anyone could tell. I take a really long time going through makeup. Probably too long.
