So last week, the morning
after the Academy Awards, I was semi-sort-of poking fun at Faye Dunaway and Warren
Beauty on their HHUUUGGGGEEEEE mistake naming the wrong movie for Best Movie. I
might have suggested, on a friend’s Facebook post, that they consider an “age
limit” for future presenters. Yes. That was quite rude of I'm-in-my-60s me. I’m a
Senior Citizen myself. And married to a Senior Citizen that is ten years older
than moi.
Don’t worry. Karma got me.
Less than an hour after my ageist post, I was putting makeup on for the day.
Planning to head to town with My Sweet Hubby (MSH) for a few errands. I was to
the “eye makeup portion” of my routine and trying out what I assumed was a soft
brown eyebrow “filler" I had recently found. After applying it to my left eyebrow, I thought: Wow.
That looks more black than soft brown. AND YET, instead of trying to determine why that was, I
proceeded to apply the “filler” to my right eye. MISTAKE.
I’m now looking at two VERY
black eyebrows (Remember, if you will, that I am fair-skinned and have blonde-ish
grey-ish hair.). Yep. I had grabbed the new Carbon Black Mascara TLC purchased
for both of us. Carbon Black. On my eyebrows. When I've never even bought a "medium" brown for them. I always buy "light" or "soft" brown.
Looking back to that morning, I'm certain the thing that
disturbed me the most was the fact that I did BOTH OF MY EYEBROWS. I never even considered stopping after the first brow was finished.
It took me twenty q-tips
and three paper towels to try to get the mascara out and off. I was determined
I wasn’t starting my entire makeup process over. NO WAY
I never shared this with
MSH. He never noticed. Although, that's not surprising. I can get LOTS o’ hair
cut off my head and he’ll never, ever say a word.
My Advice:
Don’t use carbon black
mascara, or any mascara, as an eyebrow “filler.” It’s simply not going to work
out for you. Trust me.
Hope Y’all are having a
Sweet Saturday—Wherever in this World Y’all are!
Smooches and Hugs and TTFN…
