Okay, so I’m wanting to play around with makeup.
Years ago (like literally, when I was 21, not even) I played around with white eyeliner and mascara. I really liked what they did with my eyes. And I like the silver eyeliner that I’ve got right now.
I’m curious to see what kind of a funky/weird/unique look I could come up with if I did very dark hair (like oxblood kind of dark) and very dark, stylized lips with very pale EVERYTHING else. (Granted, I would have to try this For Real in, like, February, so that I wouldn’t have anything even close to a tan. BUT You get the idea).
I also want to try curling my hair with soup-cans. I’m wondering if this is possible. Or, more to the point, I’m wondering if the sheer amount of hair I have will work when wrapped around a very wide curler such as a soup can.
I mean, I haven’t been able to use little foam rollers for something like 16 years, so I know they’re too small. I just wonder if I have enough scalp to handle a head full of soup-can-sized curlers.
Also, I’m kind of loving the mix-and-match textures (including velvet and leather) that are showing up on the runways at the moment.
Question: “Bright Young Things” was a 1920s-ism, but is it coming back? It’s a handy one, as it’s gender-neutral and implies “intelligent” as well as “shiny”. I like it. :-)
