I have a larger than normal, cosmetic collection. My lime green cosmetic bag contains a variety of eye cosmetics. One girl should not need five different compacts of eye shadows. I purchase them believing in the statement on the box "No smudge or smear up to 12 hours." I fall for that marketing line every time.
See these two items, one is a lip liner, the other, an eyeliner. If not for the writing and color, it would be tough to distinguish one from the other.
One afternoon, prior to running some errands, I decided to do a quick touch up on my makeup. I grabbed these two items and a couple other things from my green bag and began my touch up routine. It's so routine, I can do this blind folded, especially lining my lips. I was going through the motions, and apparently preoccupied. I was looking in the mirror, but not really looking. I applied my lip liner, and then picked up the next long thin stick to apply my eyeliner. When I work on my eyes, I tend to move in closer to the mirror. As, I moved in, I glanced down at my handiwork of lip lining. YIKES, I had drawn a perfect dark brown line around my lips. I was ready for the circus, I just needed to fill in the rest of my mouth with white paint. The dark brown line would look lovely on a bronze beauty, but not this medium white girl.
I laughed, and promptly began to remove the clown smile from my lips. I was just glad that I had not started with my eyes that day.
