Girly Deficient

[taffimai]

You know, I often feel like there are girly-type things that everyone else seems to know how to do and at which I am just slightly hopeless.

Tonight's example? I've spent the last hour doing my nails and all I have to show for it is a barely passable clear polish. I cannot manage color to save my life.

Did I miss a "How To Be a Girl" orientation class somewhere?

ETA: I wouldn't even mind that much if I'd gotten the "How To Be a Lesbian" class! At least then I'd know how to change my oil.

Nah, I can't draw worth crap, but I still love me some makeup. Are you sure you're getting the right colors? That can make a huge amount of difference. Try eyeshadow shades that contrast with your eye color--for blue, brown; for green, plum; for hazel, pinks and peaches; and for brown, well, anything colored will do ya. Also, I chuck the sponge applicators that come with the makeup and use my own set of brushes. Much easier to control the blending that way.

I have brown eyes and use a light purple. I have to admit that brush sets intimidate me.
