Have you ladies ever stopped to calculate approximately how many times you've applied makeup in your lifetime? It's not a pretty picture. I performed a quickie calculation, loosely based on having worn makeup for over thirty years, with periods of working full-time which required daily makeup application, and other times of life during which I considered myself fortunate to be attending a makeup-intensive event once every six weeks. I estimated that I applied makeup one day out of every three, for a total of 3000 days. I'm not much of an artiste, choosing to spend only five minutes to complete a given job, but still I've invested over 200 hours of my life covering, concealing, blending, shading, lengthening and outlining. They say if you spend fifteen minutes per day on learning a new subject, you will be a sought-after, bonafide expert in your field in something like six months. Yeah, right. This morning, I mangled my mascara, lopsided my lips and streaked my shadow in ninety seconds flat. I'm not getting better, but hey, I'm getting faster.
