I so wanted her to do my makeup

[Sometimes Steffi]

I took my wife to her doctor's appointment, in full male mode.

There's one woman is the office who has the most beautiful, dramatic makeup. I told her, "I love your makeup. If I were a girl I would want you to do my makeup." I got a " Thank you.

What I really wanted to say (but didn't, because it was too creepy) was I would really like you to do my makeup.

Yep, when you see a GG with perfect makeup and wish....

Practice makes perfect, I tried several methods of applying my foundation, most either leaving my foundation pitting or doesnt last long, I beleive different methods work for differnt people, the key to my foundation is clean the skin thoroughly before applying, and not using any primer, I get a good 24 hours from this method, anyway I divert from the question, yes I look at other womens makeup, and by youtube and different methods find one that suited me, so have lots of money ready buy different foundations, but first go for a test to match you to your correct skin colour, I did this last year when I went out with Helen Highwater to the Mall. Then try lots of different makes etc till you find the one that suites you best. But I still see women with amazing makup and have makeup envy !!!!!!

Makeup is an ART in it's Self,

[Sometimes Steffi]

Yeah, Makeup envy. I've seen it on models and on the SAs at makeup stores. But it's still pretty rare in real life.

I have done several professional makeover in the past. My Profile Pic (not my Buggs Bunny avatar) is the results of one of those makeovers.

There is a definite art to make up. An art that I don't have.

I've got a good GG friend whose makeup is always flawless and natural. In fact it's only when I see her without any makeup (seldom) that I realize how much of a difference it makes.

Hmmm... maybe ask next time after your compliment ask if she is a makeup artist. That's not creepy, and maybe she will do yours or you'll find out where to go to get a top makeover or even instruction!

Blue said. Makeup is an art. I agree! I have also said that beautiful bras can be a work of art. I?m beginning to see a theme here. I think dressing and coordinating clothing is also an art form. While some may label me a crossdresser, I think it is more of me just trying to participate in making art! Where?s my makeup brushes, I need to work on my masterpiece!

Not everyone is a makeup expert. Some are great but only on their own face.

[DianeT]

Steffi, I'm afraid that what you said was creepy already.

[Debs]

Does no one practice and get it how they want, or is it only me ?

[Philipa Jane]

Debs. I practice all the time. More often when I have found a new shade of eyeshadow.
Last week I bought an electric blue which is stunning. Only by trying it could I see that it was too bright for a person of my years to use on my floating lid. I tried four different ways and none of them worked for me.
I then went to YouTube to see how else I could use it. A fine line under my eyes was striking without being too much.
Miley Cirus used a similar colour on one of her concerts. It looked wonderful on her but one has to keep in mind she is a performer and so much younger.
