Someone recently asked me how I got started doing makeup which made me take a trip down memory lane.
I first got started doing makeup out of necessity. I went through a bad acne period when I was in my early teens. My mom, out of the goodness of her heart :D, took me to the nearest Fashion Fair counter in Evergreen Plaza..Did I mention I grew up in Chicago? My mom and I made regular trips to Carson Pirie Scott in "the Plaza".
My mom and the beauty advisors worked with me until I became a master of concealing my facial flaws with the covertone foundation. I finished it off with a translucent white setting powder which was supposed to keep the foundation from smudging. Somehow it always ended up on my collars and on the clothes of whomever I embraced...That was always so embarassing.
I recently went to their website to see all the product changes and to my delight, even though they have made a lot of product changes and improvements, they still have some of my old favorites like their fabulous smelling lipsticks in chocolate raspberry, earth red, grapesicle, and etc.
They even had my mom's favorite foundation: oil free perfect finish souffle makeup in honey glo and the oil control pressed powder.
Wow!!! What fond memories I have of us going to the makeup counter and experimenting with color. I am definitely going to have to visit a Fashion Fair counter for old time sake :D
No matter what shade you are, there is a lipstick in this line for you...Check it out and let me know what you think....
