BLASPHEMY!

I have a sassy, smart, young 20 sumpin' friend who is planning her wedding (love you, J!)...and is considering wearing NO MAKE-UP!!! I nearly had 20 heart attacks at the thought! BLASPHEMY!!! And of course, I could NOT keep my opinion to myself. I wouldn't be caught dead without make-up...even at my own funeral! Full face, is what I told her. And NEVER skip foundation. EVER. Oh, and waterproof mascara for big events that change your life. And full on eye make-up so your eyes POP in those pics... THAT WILL LIVE FOREVER...sometimes longer than the marriage itself. It's one thing to regret your choice of groom. Your choice of looking bland and blah on your wedding day??? Oh, HELL NO!!!! No amount of therapy can fix that regret... Y'all also know I NEVER leave home without lipstick or gloss. I mean, what if you spy the high school boyfriend in line at the bank??? Laws, whip out the tube of gloss, of course! So glossed lips at your wedding is a MUST-although lined and lipsticked is better for all that kissing, chatting, and eating you're gonna be doing.

I have WORE myself out worrying 'bout this. As you can see from all those above exclamation marks. Who knew the thought of NO MAKE-UP could send me into such a tizzy. BLASPHEMY!

FYI-I remember my first lipstick. I found it in my granny's bathroom cabinent. It was Cherries in the Snow. And laws, it was DARK! And I LOVED it... wore it down to a nub. Which led to pilfering old, nearly dried out bottles of foundation from my mama which I (badly) applied in my middle school locker mirror, to thick bright blue eye liner in high school... And y'all, I've never looked back!

Keep applying, gals!
