Messing around...

One of the things I've decided to do is start a gallery 'log' of how I look as I get better, lose weight, and everything else. I'll leave it open, if you guys want to peek in from time to time. I added the first four pics today.

...What's scary? They're 'before and after' pics, as in 'Anne without and then with make-up'.

And the only make-up I put on was foundation around the eyes for the 'after' shots...

I guess that's a good thing, right?

Anyway, for those interested

Commentary welcome, of course. How can I improve without input, right?

Hee! and now you know why I was all 'holy shit, all it takes is a little foundation???!'

*g*

But yeah. my eyes really aren't that puffy (as the ones with the foundation prove since I look like I have none at all in those), but they have a really, really bad discoloration problem, which, sadly, I'm afraid I might be stuck with. *frowny face*

As for the non-puffy part, I actually use 'Burts Bees' eye cream. It does a really good job of moisturizing and making the eye skin feel very very smooth and soft. also, nicely lightweight without being runny. I also use their lip balm, which works equally well.

The foundation I used was Cover Girl's 'Simply Powder foundation', 515, natural ivory. I applied it to lids, under the eye and on the bridge and corners of the eyes and nose where it's black/yellow in the non-make-up's shots. I didnt use any other product, and didn't apply makeup anywhere else.
