Of Cabbages and Kings

I use Bare Escentuals, so my foundation IS powder. Foundation, blush (they call it "Warmth"), and a finishing powder (they call it the "Mineral Veil"). I wear it mostly just to even things out and keep my face from getting too oily, though it also helps bring some color to my pale face and keeps me from looking less like a corpse. I also wear lipgloss/lipstick for color and moisture, though there's been an awful lot of kissing in my life over the past few months, so it doesn't stay on for very long. ;) Special occasions call for more dramatic lipstick, which I can only get away with at night. And I just this week started trying out mascara again, and while I generally think that eye makeup looks very silly behind glasses, I like the definition the mascara gives to my eyes.
