TwinkleGram - How to Wrestle a SNAKE

------------------------------
MY COLOR PALETTE LEANS TOWARD THE:

--covert (I laughed out LOUD when I read this!)

WHO TAUGHT YOU HOW TO APPLY MAKE-UP? (You LOVED talking about this! The question--the memories surrounding this right of passage--must tap into some very deep place within. THANK YOU all for sharing such tender and laugh-out-loud memories!)

--I have received some GREAT tips for makeup artists on QVC.

--I had to learn early, because I was a dancer, but I remember my mom putting it on me for recitals, so I must have learned it from her. And Seventeen magazine.

--My girlfriend Sandy whose father was in the Mafia (true, but I didn't know it at the time). She gave me a white lipstick for my thirteenth birthday (quit laughing, it was 1968!) and showed me how to wear it

--When I was 13, my DAD gave me one of those huge pallette makeup cases for Christmas. My Mom did not approve. After that I read every magazine article I could find. That is how I learned. (Plus a couple of professional lessons from the lady at the hair salon.My mother and older sister never wear makeup so, they were no help.)

--I taught my self. My mother is allergic to everything on earth so she never wore it, only lipstick very red.. Hey it was the 60's just smear it on and make your eyes look like the black holes in space who needs instruction for that. Since becoming over 55, disabled and unemployed I quit using make up except lip stick - Geez I am my mother!

--no one, and it's obvious :-(

--My 15 year old daughter, Amy. Since she was little playing dress up, she has had a flare with the makeup. Her little friends would look amazing. In middle school I told her she could not wear eye makeup. Didn't matter, she made her own and it was so good, I didn't even notice it! Now she is trying to get me to get pink (my favorite color) highlights in my hair to match the blue ones she has in her red hair!

--I used to work for Maybelline so a make up artist taught me how to apply make up.

--I attended Jeanne Hamilton Modeling Agency in Louisville, KY, when I was 19 and learned there. I lived in Southern Indiana (right over the bridge), on a farm...and farm girls don't do much applying of make up.

--The older girls that lived across the street from me where I grew up. They even held me DOWN once and forced me to allow them to pluck my eyebrows!!

--I've never even thought about that before. However, as I look back at some old pictures, I see my undereye make-up screaming, "Look, no dark circles!" Of course, it looks I have 1/2 white-wall tires sitting on my cheeks. So bad.

HOW'D YOU LOOK AFTER YOU GOT YOUR MAKE-UP DONE AT A MAKE-UP COUNTER?

--I always end up looking like a drag queen. They then want to give me an "evening look." Evening = drag queen

--My eyes rivaled Charlie Manson's!

--Had the feeling that perhps that was the way I would look at the funeral home before the dirt nap!

--I tell them I want a daytime look.

--Never gone that route, I guess all those germs lurking around the counters Ugggh!

--The skin under the eyes was a glowing, healthy color, not my usual sleep-deprived violet blue puff!

--I avoid those counters, out of my budget! Remember Cover Girl....

--Can't "get naked in a department store"- asking me to take off my make-up for a make-over is like asking me to sit butt-naked at the cosmetic counter!

--It was hard to tell...they only did half of my face!!!
