From Cosmetic Drama to Makeup Tips and Tricks
Comments
I’m having some serious flashbacks.
Although I don’t have to wax nostalgic to relive those formative years. I can just go to the store, look at the fashions, and pretend I’m in high school again, because all the clothes are the same. That works until I look in the mirror and realize I didn’t have under eye bags that looked like a blowfish and wrinkles as deep as the Grand Canyon. Loved the column. Now I’m going out to buy that mascara for the visually impaired.
I love your “you don’t have to wear it” rule. It’s what I live by although my asian mother scolds me for not wearing lipstick in front of my husband.
Makeup tips and hilarious wit? A combo only Sarah can give readers! Keep ‘em coming!!
Oh, I remember white lipstick. But does anyone remember white nail polish? Now, that was the thing…..............
You are all so very funny! Kate, I love your phrase, “no longer dewy”! And Pam, your “struggle to cover up the truth.” Sorry, Jiae, you have to go through the non-subtle stage first, I think. Hey, Margaret… I miss you too… come to Baltimore to play! FH, some of it is a marketing scam, but men can sure use some of the skin care out there (I swear by Steven Victor MD products). As for you, Ms. Sherri, I thought I was my only audience! Thank you all!
I can’t even remember the last time I read makeup tips, or any “beauty” advice for that matter. Wouldn’t have read this if someone hadn’t sent it to me. I love Sarah’s voice, and it is such a relief! to read someone say I don’t have to layer on a million products. I think I have 3 shipping cartons full of used-once products (because I’m a child of Depression-era parents pack-rat who keeps thinking, “Surely someone could use these”). And on top of that, where else can one find advice suitable for women who are, shall I say, no longer dewy? Specific products at a variety of price points helps those of us who hate making decisions (I can’t wait to read the new book, The Paradox of Choice). Now if she’d just clear out my wardrobe the way she cleared out my bathroom drawer.
Still in my late twenties and with very few hairs for eyebrows (literally think I can count them), when will I discover the meaning of subtlety all knowing glam goddess?
Boy, are you speaking my language! Yet again, Sarah Gilbert gives not only practical beauty tips that I can relate to and use, but also belly laughs to boot! Thanks for knowing your audience so well!
Oh Sarah - how I miss you in Columbia! From the Catholic School girl (who had the fear of G/d driven in to her by Nuns that proper young ladies did not wear make up to my Mom who said I was too pretty to wear make up) I envy your days of blue eye shadow. There was the brief 80’s moment of blue eye liner a la Adam Ant - but I still hear the Nuns when I apply blush! I swear by Kiehls - anything is awesome and I am sworn for years below my age!
BIG HUG FROM THE MAD PLATTER!!!
Are male cosmetics just a marketing scam? Or have guys who “get off so easy” really just lazy? (I’m male by the way. Just curious.)
As an 80-plus woman who recently came ‘out of the closet’ about her age, I really enjoyed Sarah Gilbert’s column on make-up and found many tips I shall be trying out in the near future as I keep up the struggle to cover up the truth, or at least maintain a little surprise in those who know it.
