my take on makeup is quite classic, i suppose. im not a fan of circles or triangles or hearts. i dont outline anything. im very basic in my makeup anymore. my aviator doesnt even show my newest, lightes makeup. i find that the geometric shapes help steer children away, rather than closer. i feel that makeup should generally be just an exagerraion of what is already there. but the bigger, bolder, non existing features are frightening to many. my best friend used to be absolutely afraid of clowns, but i concluded she was afraid of the mask, which is the general reason most are scared. the "crazy antics" the weird voice, the abnormal look. i put my white on to illustrate my eyes, and just a dab around my mouth now. then, i do heart-esque lips... and sometimes freckles (i have tons naturally), or depending on the situation, one marilyn monroe style beauty mark.

i understand eveyone has their own take on color and style, thats just my 2 cents.

oh, the topic?? whoops, almost forgot ( borrowed someones soapbox... tee hee)
i always powder. sometimes twice. once, brush, then damp cloth the parts i want to be bright- lips, cheeks. repeat.

i always use professional grade makeup. always.
one can spot the non professional makup in a heartbeat- 5 miles away. $20.00 can set you apart- if you havent spent it.

also, blend blend blend. again with the "kids are scared"--- shiney faces do not equal a natural look.

and, i exit left.
