Coly, you are and I are about the same age. I never wore makeup. After he left I started to as something to bond with D over (she loves makeup). Now I find that I enjoy doing it. I am constantly buying eye shadow and lipstick. Ultimately I decided to use a tinted moisturizer rather than a foundation. I have great skin and want to be able to see my freckles. Foundation is like wearing clay on your face.
Hope you enjoy the makeup consult and the Caribbean party.
