Well, thank you everyone for the wonderful words of encouragement. Make up can make a big difference!
But your words about almost passing and about the girl inside being visible sure made me feel better.
Now about the consultation and the shopping IE buying after.
Diane started with a Skin Radiance gel exfolliant that's simple and takes about a minute to use. It can be used in the shower or at the sink and should be done each morning regardless, if you are wearing makeup or not!
She next applied a Moisturizer something she said you should do each morning and always before making yourself up.
She next put on some foundation, a nice product by Lize Watier. It's a liquid foundation that also contains moisturizer.
Under and over the eyes she applied a lifting and firming cream. Then and anti wrinkle primer specially made for around the eyes.
After that she did a 3 in 1 facial primer that she used on the high spots on my face cheek bones and for head.
Eye makeup, high lights blush a bronzing powder and finished off with tri color brush powder. Eye liner and a mascara called Feline that I found so nice. Then lip stick and I was finished. It felt great I looked into the mirror at a new me and didn't care much about those gathered round watching.
Thrilled as I was I told Diane to pack it all up and the brushes I would need and went happily to the check out. A gasp as the total came to just over 500 dollars, so I presented my credit card tucking my meager two 50's back into my pocket.
It was worth it. Will last me long enough to learn how to do it all myself and it feels good. Now I can start saving up again.
Well ladies love you all
Simone
