My best friend’s younger sister asked me to do her makeup for prom on Friday and I’m dying. First I was makeup designer & artist for my school’s mainstage production, then my professor asks me to do her makeup for a special event and I did makeup for the other girls appearing in the same event that night and now this!
MAKEUP ARTIST!
Photoshopping some pics of Michelle Pfeiffer because that’s what I do on a rainy Wednesday afternoon and after looking at HQ pic after HQ pic of her face, I need to rant about whoever is doing her makeup.
Michelle Pfeiffer is the most flawless woman to ever exist, I’m sure we can all agree on that. But whatever makeup artist she keeps on hand needs to realize… She has hooded eyes and with age, gravity isn’t being any kinder with her eyelids. So they need to stop putting dark shadows (NO PUN INTENDED… OKAY A LITTLE PUN INTENDED.) in her crease and so high up to brow. You don’t need to sink her eyes in anymore, they’re pretty sunken in. What her makeup artist needs to do is highlight the shit out of her brow bone. Touche Eclat the fuck out of her inner eyes and brow bone.
GOD. Every fucking time I’ve seen her on the red carpet these past couple of years, I’ve seen this problem. You would think people that get the opportunity to touch that flawless Goddess’ face would know what the fuck to do with it!
Had a bit of a Treat Yo Self sesh today. Bought some makeup items I had been wanting for a very long time (and a couple things just because.)

He stayed silent. I don’t know if he was more ashamed that I wanted tickets to Wrestlemania or that I spent all my birthday money on liquor and makeup.
One of my most vivid memories regarding fashion in the era of Y2K can only be summed up in the adjective “frosty”. Body glitter all over all the girls, bleached highlights in everyone’s hair, everything was very cyber-trendy. Everyone was like a walking version of an Apple computer. A lot of translucence, iridescence, and technology.
In makeup, all the girls had icy-colored lipsticks and shimmery eyeshadows. They wore glittery hair mascara in their highlighted hair that was covered in glittery see-through butterfly clips.
Even in technology — I distinctly remember having a blueberry-colored telephone with matching caller ID. I also had a purple see-through portable CD player. My Gameboy Advance was also purple, frosted and see-through. Apple computers were brightly colored and… you guessed it… see-through.
If you don’t understand what I’m saying or don’t remember this trend, here’s some pictures that depict what I’m saying:
Look at these futuristic motherfuckers in all-white standing in what seems to be a portal to a spaceship. You can’t tell but Nick Carter frosted the everlasting fuck out of his hair!
I had this phone, too. After I grew out of my blueberry see-through phone that still had a cord attached to it. Pfft. This was so fly.
Britney embodies so many of the 90s trends in this one picture. Frosty hair, shimmery eyeshadow, plastic clothing, body glitter, etc, etc.
Look at this sassy Gameboy. You can see right through it!
I feel like we should blame the iMacs for staring this all!
Frosty, baby pink, shiny, futuristic, icy, sparkles, rhinestones, etc, etc. Dream had it all! God I wanted to be them!
Nicole Julian was a fashion icon on the WB in the early 2000s. Do you remember the WB? Because I do. She looks like Mr. fucking Freeze!
Do you remember yet? Because I seem to be the only one who recalls everyone’s obsession with looking like a glittery frostbite victim!
MAC’s Magenta Madness pigment is pretty fantastic, if I do say so myself.
