I don’t wear a ton of make up. I know there are parts of the country where women tend to wear more make up than others (*cough* Long Island *cough* and I can say that because I grew up there) and I do wear some… enough to make myself acceptable for public consumption. I do [...] Related posts:

Someone asked me recently if I would publish a list of products I use. I was hesitant because like you, I am a work in progress and I sometimes think people expect me to have it all figured out.
