I just got my faculty ID for my new job, and I look like Eddie Izzard. I'm not sure why nobody told me I look like Eddie Izzard (thanks family and friends! You know, it hurts more when you hide the truth.) I'm not sure what to do here.
Start copying looks in Vogue and Cosmo? Go to a Clinique or some other make-up counter and have them explain the ins and outs of subtle eye shade? Ok who am I kidding? None of those options could ever be associated with subtlety.
In all fairness, I had 2 hours of sleep followed by a 2-hour drive, then 2-hour plane ride followed by 1-hour train, then 1-hour bus...it was a long damn morning. But as a new mom, I'm not sure the day of travel is much different from just being a mom in terms of getting that authentic haggard look. As an example, while grooming my eyebrows the other night, I managed to start with two caterpillar-looking puffs and end with one-and-a-half differently shaped eyebrows. And really, what is the likelihood that a new mom with a new full-time job has the resources to make good, subtle eye make-up happen?
Maybe there's a beginner's make-up application tutorial on YouTube.
