I find myself looking at clothing I would have been too bashful to wear in the past. I don't think it looks improper - I got a small coat for Christmas, that is something I wouldn't normally wear, just because it looks slightly more flash than I am - and I now feel a bit weird when I wear it, but I plan to get over that. I liked it in the store, and was told it looked good on me (not by a salesperson).

It makes me sad when I look around at the things I could have had fun with, when I was younger, or even now, and feel too... whatever I'm feeling at the time. Shy, ugly, old. Different things over the years. That outfit might be more noticeable, but that doesn't make it a bad thing; there's a man I see every so often in a bookstore, who stands out because he's wearing a gorgeous suit, amongst others who are usually wearing only jeans, tops, and boots.

I have this lip shine called Black Honey from Clinique, which, they say, is their bestselling lip stuff of all time. It kinda morphs into the right shade magically, like a mood ring for the lips. I've only ever worn that one since college, and only the barest hint....

Black honey.

Yes.

And nobody is ever too old for style!

In fact, the older one gets, the more it's important, don't you think? There is something so heartening about seeing old men meticulously gussied up, and old women with all their jewelry on and their hair done. It's regal.

I normally don't wear lipstick (I did when I was younger, gave it up for tinted lip gloss, and then gave that up, went back to dark lipstick, and then to tinted lip balm, haha)...
But, yes I think I might have been wearing tinted lip gloss (which is a bit darker than tinted lip balm).

Just checked-- my makeup artist friend has Virgo Venus, Mercury & Mars.

ETA: Oh we were posting at the same time.

I'm jealous that your lips naturally fit with darker shades...it looks very cool.

I cannot see your pictures. Maybe you could erase the "img" at the brackets?

Yep.

Elysia, make "https" to "http" and it should work. Keep the img brackets.

Then, we don't know what happened....Astrology got a hold of her and never released its hold. Now she walks down the street muttering gibberish about "draconic conjunctions" and "the 9th harmonic." Fairly useless person but agreeable, sometimes, from a distance.

But yeah, at first I was like "Oh, come on, that's just MEAN!"
And then I realized they were models (who were probably photoshopped, lol).

Yeah, me too! Lol.

The second picture looks more natural, I guess. Maybe less of a filter? I dunno...

Okay, seriously. I have to assume now that you live in a remote village, because you are so far off, as far as how this type of look is perceived, that I must wonder if you were raised in some obscure place where people haven't had access to newer styles/trends for the past 30 years.

And I'm not surprised you got "the Ingrid Bergman thing"!

She's probably my favorite actress of all time. Hmmm her and Elizabeth Taylor.

And Alicia Siverstone. "Clueless" was so epic. But I digress...
