the blind side.


this blog is supposed to be about makeup but i can't help but digress a bit here. i love watching movies. i think i watch too many movies. i saw 'the blind side' yesterday and i love it. the character i was most endeared to was SJ. He was amazing. he had a lot of self confidence, a fearlessness, a belief in Micheal to play football well. i smiled at the sight of him coaching Micheal and doing a good job of it too. He called him his big brother before everybody and didn't care about public opinion. he was really good. He made me smile and i loved the way he negotiated with the coaches who came to sell their colleges to Micheal. he was amazing.

Speaking with different women, I've heard them say, 'oh, once I have my blue eyeliner, i'm fine' or 'once, my brows are done and penciled in, i'm happy'. To each his own, right? The best way to find what works for you is to try out different makeup items. Don't be afraid to explore. Changing everything all at once has the effect of either being too much for you personally or you get excited for a few days but find out later that you're back at your old regime. You find yourself  citing reasons such as 'it was a lot of work' or 'I don't have time'. It is best to start with one or two items and then gradually ease into your desired change. Making small adjustments as you go along. I like to have an easy look for work. Foundation, eyeliner, mascara and lip gloss or nude lipstic...
