War Paint for the 21st century
Today I was compelled to try on various ways of putting on makeup.
It’s actually one of my favorite pastimes when I procrastinate studying for an exam, along with doing my hair, which I did, tidying up my room, which I sort of did, painting my nails, which I did three days ago ( they are a shiny red! oh lala!), taking a nap, which I did… four times, facebook stalk people I shouldn’t stalk, which I did.. or rather am still doing, and along with eating everything in sight and if it isn’t in sight, I shall tread the paths in which food will be in front of me so that it shall be in sight. And Yes, I did that too (twix, Schezwan Express, white cheddar popcorn and bacon!)
I have accomplished much since Friday. Be Proud of me. I know I am.
Anyways, I found this old red eye liner I bought a year ago. I think I bought it becuase I wanted to be daring… sexy… seductive!! But when I put it on, it always just made me look crazy, tired, or bloodshot. I gave it a second shot, thinking that now that I am more “learned” in the art of war painting ( ahem, makeup… war paint sounds so much cooler and less prissy, so we’re calling it war paint) I can flare up the red eyeliner into something cute and lovely. Ya know, put a dash of pink eye shadow there and add a little shimmer here.
I was wrong.
It was a bust.
I looked awful.
So the moral of the story is:
Red EyeLiner = Awful Asian Marilyn Manson Look
Avoid at all costs.
We MUST save the children.
So regardless of how much Carmondy from TLC’s What Not to Wear has taught me, red eyeliner is a no no.
I’ll stick to my blue, purple and sky colors instead, thank you very much.

Oh c’mon! those colors were totally coming!
I woud have bought the other half of the rainbow, but orange and green were out of stock.
hehe I’m such an artist… don’t even deny it!
