I think makeup looks fabulous. I love seeing my face change after letting a professional makeup artist do his or her thang. However, I do not have a steady hand or the patience to meticulously apply makeup to my own face. But change is good. I'll be entering the professional world soon, and I want to look my best every day. In my career field I may be on television often and meeting with new clients regularly. Therefore, I want to look my best and leave a lasting first impression every time.

There's yet another versus that I've noticed among us women. The makeup wearing women vs. the women who don't wear makeup at all. I'm on both sides. When I stand before hundreds of people and deliver a speech, I always wear concealer, foundation, mascara, and lipstick. When I walk as a model in a fashion show, makeup is mandatory. On the other hand, aside from some lip gloss, I don't go out every day with a full face of makeup on.

I do want to explore makeup a bit more now that I'm transforming into a full-time professional woman. I want to learn how to contour my face, how to apply blush, and how to apply the dreaded eye shadows and liners. I hate eyeliner. It looks so pretty, but it burns! I wince whenever a makeup artist tells me to "look up." I love those liner wings, though, honey. Fierce!

I'm going to start experimenting with new colors and products. I already love going to Ulta and seeing all of the makeup kits and colors. I purchased what is called a Shimmer Palette. It's Fergie's brand of makeup created by Wet n Wild. According to the label: "This perfectly-coordinated baked trio delivers high-pigment in a wet-or-dry formula for a glowing, extra-reflective finish. Big girls don't shy away from a little sparkle."

I really have the basics down. I can do my own foundation, powder, mascara, and lips. I haven't mastered contouring or eye makeup yet, but thanks to my girlfriends' new product called Mine', I'll master those eye wings in no time!

What do you think? Makeup or nah?
