I’ve been playing with makeup recently. Foundation. It’s part of the Lent thing. Do something artsy everyday til Easter. I have it on right now but I’m sitting at home in my pjs. I’m trying to figure out if I like this stuff (Maybelline) or another make and model. I think I like the other stuff (L’oreal) better even though the Maybelline is mineral based. Mineral is supposedly better. Higher SPF and good for skin? I dunno if those claims are based on anything beyond smart marketing. Anyway, there has to be over a dozen varieties of foundations, and that’s just the drugstore variety. It’s all so baffling. I’m so amazed at how my blemishes and uneven skin tone miraculously disappears. It’s actually kinda’ fun.

The other night, I was trying to get all my makeup off by washing my face. I discovered that just regular facewash and water doesn’t really do the trick. So I tried lotion and it worked nicely. If you have any unscented lotion, it’ll probably work. I used Cetaphil and the runny consistency made it easy to use. I like it better than cold cream which I find effective, but a bit heavy. Just slather it on, rub it around, even around the eyes (I hope that’s ok), and wipe it off with tissues. All the makeup comes off with the goop. Easy.
