late summer stop in the neitherworld

A test of Revlon's Photoready primer led to some cartoonish makeup today, with me attempting to channel both versions of Beetlejuice's Lydia Deetz. The primer itself is okay; smells kind of weird and didn't really help my problem with the Photoready foundation going on flaky or chunky in some spots. Also it does nothing to smooth out my complexion, but I don't really expect miracles here. However, the color match is MUCH better with the primer. (Without it, too much yellow. I really need a neutral, not pink or yellow, color, but most drugstore brands don't have neutral shades at all.)

Also, pay no attention to the godawful sloppy gel eyeliner, because I am still failing at it. The photos hide how messy it actually looks in person. I will never understand how people get such a lovely thick, precise line with liquid or gel liner.
