MAKING UP IS HARD TO DO

(or How I Stopped Worrying and Learned to Love Concealer)


I approached the make-up counter at the fancy Fifth Avenue department store with apprehension. Admittedly, I partake in the usual female camouflage, though I suspiciously feel like a 12 year old trying to look grown up when I have it on. Make-up's always been a foreign substance for me. All those sponges and brushes make me feel like I never should have given up art school. However, when a friend said all the overtime I'd been putting in at my job was making me look like a distant cousin to a racoon, I opted for a quick fix instead of a more permanent alteration (such as a new career, or a new friend, though it was a tough decision).
