Well ok, I do the basic foundation and blusher, but anything more complicated than that and I&#8217;m as lost as the sheep that Little Bo-Beep lost.<br \/>\nDon&#8217;t ask me how to line my eyes, apply mascara, blend eyeshadow colours, or mix lipstick colours. Any of these questions will only warrant a blank stare from me. I don&#8217;t even use lipstick &#8216;cos I hate the feel of it on my lips. Thanks to some good genes from my mum, I don&#8217;t really require mascara as my lashes are long enough as it is. Heh. In any case, I&#8217;m too lazy to bother with anything too elaborate.<br \/>\nThe night before last, at my friend&#8217;s wedding, I had to enlist help from the bride&#8217;s sister to apply makeup that is a tad more elaborate than the basic foundation and blusher. It was a little embarrassing to appear so lost amidst all the makeup she placed in front of me. Anyhow, I figured I wasn&#8217;t the bride so I didn&#8217;t need to look so good.<br \/>\nThe night went pretty well. We had good food and wine amidst some song and dance. I had a couple of sips of the excellent white wine and ended up feeling a little sleepy. Thankfully I was still awake enough to drive myself home.<br \/>\nSo tomorrow&#8217;s Valentine&#8217;s Day. I&#8217;ve got a date with four boys. WAIT &#8211; before you start wowing, these are 12-year-old monsters who cannot sit still in an English lesson.<br \/>\nI&#8217;m absolutely brimming with excitement at the prospect of seeing them tomorrow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s a little embarrassing that at 25 years of age, I still don&#8217;t know how to apply makeup properly.
