This morning I put on BE Fairly Light foundation, Jane blushing cheeks in blushing glow, and Cargo Plantlove in Sagamaratha.

Everything looked fine, but since the blush and lipstick are a little darker and warmer than the colors I usually wear, I decided to go for a darker shadow.

The first one I saw - literally, was foxy mineral makeup in Ginger Rose.

I wasn’t really sure if this was a blush or a shadow, (the fact that I wasn’t sure should have told me - it’s a blush, so don’t try this at home unless you’re sure it’s safe to use on your eyes) but I guess I was feeling a little rebellious and didn’t care, so I used it, along with foxy mineral makeup’s delicate shadow, which I love, love, love as a wash.

Delicate is perfect for when you want a hint of color without too much sparkle or obvious color, I wear it with almost anything when I don’t want to look too overdone.

After I got the shadow on, I looked in the mirror and thought “Man, I look older today.”

Since I look young anyways, it’s not a big deal for me, but I definitely don’t think I’d want to look older every day.

Have you noticed that certain makeup or certain colors make you look older, or younger?

Leave a comment and tell me about them.

PS Happy 4th of July to my US readers!

I made my first post on Mystical Beauty’s Musings on July 9, 2005.

I can’t believe it’s been so long.

I’ve had so much fun, and learned so much as a result of this blog.

Thank so you much for coming along for the ride!

I wouldn’t do it if it weren’t for you.

I am so excited.

I can’t wait to meet her and see what she’ll be like.
