Makeup Is Hard

I have recently discovered Shiro Cosmetics, and let me tell you, I am already in love.

My first run I splurged and bought nineteen of their eyeshadows. Yeah, I know, I really don't go half-assed into anything, do I?

I got them last week, but was in the middle of a ridiculous cold and rubbing my eyes constantly, so I have not been able to try any until now.

Today I was going out and doing Errandry and Adulting, so I decided that in protest of having to act like a Real Adult I would actually wear makeup.

I'm wearing my Winchester Bros. World Tour shirt today (available at Red Bubble), which is a black shirt with a nice orange and red color-scheme going on, so I decided to try out Cornucopia, a gorgeous golden yellow, and Champion, whch is a really nice red.

e.l.f. Studio Eye Primer & Liner Sealer is on under all the eyeshadows, and L'oreal Voluminous Million Lashes Mascara in Blackest Black. I will do a post on at least the mascara later, because my feelings about it should not take over this post.

Pardon the blurriness in some of the pictures, please. Not only am I working with a camera phone but I am basically blind without my glasses, so it's hard to tell what's a good shot or not until I'm done.

Hello there, all eight people I've told about this!

My name is Clex (not my real name), and I am learning about makeup.

I created this blog to help motivate myself to continue learning about makeup and, also, because I noticed that there aren't really blogs out there I could find that were geared towards people with virtually no understanding of makeup.

I'm twenty-five, and minus dressing up for Rocky Horror I've never really worn makeup before. I have done makeup for my friends (which I am weirdly good at), and fight makeup (I can do a mean looking bruise), but as far as I go, I've only ever really worn chapstick up until now.

But I want that to change, and this blog is going to help me. And maybe some of you, too.
