Critterfixer Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 I also discarded my old toothbrush. Because dentist. They beat me up for not flossing for the last few weeks. I still maintain that sleep was the better option. But now that I am no longer getting up at two in the morning to feed the kitten I can go back to flossing. Have not got a clue what I am, although I do remember the concepts of people being Spring/Summer/Autumn/Winter, etc. I look really cute in pink. I hate pink. Some greens look okay. Some make me look green. Pretty much every other color is just meh. So I just wear gray all the time. That looks okay. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 I can't wear yellow. I look good in navy, brown, dark red, violet purple, darker greens. Don't know what that means. Mark, you look freaky in that makeup. I am so glad it is not your avatar any more! Make up I wear (when leaving the house): Covergirl aquasmooth foundation/powder, a little blush & eyebrow pencil, lipstick if I am in any way dressing up. I hate all eyeliners I have ever tried, so I don't bother with it. Mascara inevitably gets in my eyes. #causeyouneededtoknow 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMJ Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 I ought to go learn makeup. I never did it right as a teen, and never had the patience for it. I let somebody else worry about my hair for me--very freeing. I ought to go to somebody to figure out the makeup thing, because I could actually use some improvement. Or you can be like me and just not worry about it. When I really needed to look good for photos (wedding, later a boudoir photo shoot as an anniversary present for DH) I hired professionals to do it for me. With the photo shoot the gal did air-brush make-up on me, and I LOVED it! No smudging or smearing no matter how much I rubbed my eyes, and it didn't even feel like I had anything on my face. It was awesome, and I was a little disappointed that I had to take it all off before DH saw me. I was trying to keep the photos a surprise. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMJ Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Back in the day before some of you were even born, I learned to do seasonal color analysis. I am a Summer. Mr. Ellie is an Autumn. One of my dds is a Summer, one is a Winter. I only buy clothing in colors that are my season, and I only buy make-up in colors that are cool (as opposed to warm). Even before then, I went somewhere--that particular factoid of my memory is buried way too deep for me to find it--and learned how to care for my skin: cleanse (with something made for skin, not Dove or Ivory or any other soap like that), tone, moisturize. I have never strayed from that routine. I wear mascara and eyebrow stuff any time I leave the house. Other make-up...meh... That's my story and I'm sticking to it. I can't put on mascara at all. I get it all over my face. Friends and professionals have tried to teach me how to apply it, and I STILL got it all over my face. I am mascara deficient.

AMJ Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Easy way to know if you're warm or cool: Go to your friendly neighborhood department store that has a make-up counter. On one side of your face, do warm colors for lipstick and blush. On the other side, do cool colors for lipstick and blush. If you're a warm season, the cool colors will look awful; if you're a cool season, the warm colors will look awful. If you're a Spring, you can wear orange, and lime green, and bright turquoise. If you're an Autumn, you can wear Century 21 gold, avocado green, and khaki brown.. So, go to a public place with high traffic, during holiday season, and paint half of your face a set of awful colors?!? I used to think I looked good in Autumn colors until my Mom made me try Winter colors. I am SOOO a Winter. Chill, ya know? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 (edited) I actually am very good at putting on make-up. I've had job offers in the make up field because of it. I used to do a lot of acting and got good at it (though obviously I would use a lot less when not on a stage!) But. . . after dealing with multiple auto immune problems, I am very wary about what I expose my body to. Prairie, I've wondered too about mineral make up but the truth is that it can take me a couple of days to get the energy to shower and half a day to put on clothes. Make up?

AMJ Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 There's gotta be a website where you upload your face and it tells you what makeup to buy. It's 2015 for crying out loud. Vain booya. They can do this with jeans now. You stand in front of something with a camera and it 3D scans you. The website or whatever then runs your measurements and shape through their clothing database and tells you what will fit. Or so DH tells me -- I haven't gone looking for it yet, though I wanna.

Tsuga Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 I can't, either. I think people with darker hair/eyes and skin look great with red lipstick. I have a HIspanic friend who rocks the red lipstick look. I look so silly, like I am four and got into my mother's make up or something. Yes, I look incredibly hot in red lipstick, so much so that I don't wear it because I don't want comments. I wear dead people clothes (clothes given to me when someone's relative died - perhaps not so coincidentally, all my size). Oh dear. I fit my grandmother's clothes and my mom fits her grandmother's. But I fit on my paternal line--she, her maternal line. I can't put on mascara at all. I get it all over my face. Friends and professionals have tried to teach me how to apply it, and I STILL got it all over my face. I am mascara deficient. Try more expensive mascara, like Chanel. I don't mean buy it--lord, don't buy it if you won't wear it--but use a sampler. I'm sure if you go to the counter and explain that you can't put on mascara but your friend said you had to try Chanel, they won't mind. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thankyouverymuch. #mathanxiety #mustoutsource I am not sure what the sequence is different means? I think you might mean that WTM runs the Intro to Algebra book for chapters 1-10 for Algebra I. (I think I would go ch 1-13 so we will keep going a bit after the class ends.) Then, you can go into geometry. But, for a geometry class, you do not have to do the whole book. There are math competition chapters and some that just go above and beyond the traditional scope for geometry. Then, for Algebra 2, you pick up the second half of the Intro to Algebra book plus some of the Intermediate book. Then, Precalc. I think the aops classes go through the whole Intro to Algebra book at a crack, if I recall correctly. In a scary, short time frame. Maybe that is different now? I haven't looked in a few months. Is that what you mean? (I am sure that is clear as mud.) I have a list of chapter splits somewhere. If I can find it, I will send it to you.
